This is the story of a CONTROLLING mother who has DESTROYED the lives of many trans kids, including potentially, her own.

And all based on ASSUMPTIONS of @TaviAndPort, a service she’s not yet entered!😤

Her prejudice goes ‘mask off’ in this article...
➡️ https://t.co/DhLm5avLck

 First up, my heart goes out to ‘Angela’s’ child. It is exactly *because* of parents like this, that Gillick exists - to allow young people body autonomy and agency over their own lives SEPARATE from controlling parents!
She’s right - she absolutely HAS taken away her child’s rights. Not only that, she’s also taken away the rights of THOUSANDS of other children and their parents to make choices about what’s right for them!

And all because she can’t handle the thought of her child being trans.
‘Angela’ doesn’t give a damn about the rights of parents! If she did, she wouldn’t have taken away the rights of parents SUPPORTING their trans kids! 😫

What about those parents? The ones who have sat on suicide watch while their child counts the days to getting medical help?
Let’s be absolutely clear here - The reason she didn’t tell her child, is because she knows it would absolutely DESTROY her relationship with them. She wanted to go behind their back to exert CONTROL over her nearly adult child, who legally had autonomy over their own body!
Let’s put this another way - Should ‘Mrs A’ have the right to STOP her child from having an abortion without her consent under the age of 18?

After all, having a child is MASSIVELY life-changing.

Should she have the ‘right’ to force her child to HAVE an abortion???
Not only did ‘Mrs A’ want to stop her own child from getting internationally endorsed medical intervention, she weaponised them in order to stop THOUSANDS of distressed trans kids from getting the same.

Be in no doubt, this was a move to enforce her own ideology on others!
The galling thing about all of this is that ‘Angela’ doesn’t *know* what would’ve happened in the @TaviAndPort clinic, as her child is STILL ON THE 2 YEAR LONG WAITING LIST!!!

Her information is clearly taken from transphobic echo chambers full of hyperbole and lies! 😖
There is so much to unpack here...

Surely any parents job is to give their children the skills to make their own ‘good’ choices in life. Part of that is recognising that what is ‘good’ for YOU, might not be ‘good’ for them!

Parents do not ‘own’ their children!!!
What ‘Mrs A’ also fails to acknowledge is that by forcing her child -and now, all other trans kids - to go through an unwanted puberty, she is taking away the ‘choice’ for them to avoid future surgeries & denying them the ‘choice’ to go through life without being visibly ‘outed’.
‘Mrs A’ is blatantly ignoring the FACT that fertility preservation is offered BEFORE anyone is prescribed hormones.

There are now also MULTIPLE instances of trans men who have previously taken testosterone, having healthy babies.

https://t.co/9DuQYwoft6
‘Mrs A’ also ignores the fact that most trans men identify as heterosexual (attracted to women), in which case having ‘biological children’ is not a given.

If her child is trans male & gay (attracted to men), then it’s entirely feasible to have bio kids
➡️https://t.co/JirpZdkoLN
The irony of ‘Mrs A’s’ comment - Due to her selfish actions, THOUSANDS of trans kids and their parents now have to stand by and watch as their future is changed for ever!

And all based on her ASSUMPTION about how @TaviAndPort operate!!! 😡😡😡
If ‘Mrs A’ had actually experienced the @TaviAndPort process, she would have found that far from being easy, that there are MANY obstacles to overcome before trans kids are able to access puberty blockers - As this thread - from someone who KNOWS - details ⤵️ https://t.co/IOO0DOBugu
So basically, because a parent has received letters that respect her child’s wishes over her own, and are unwilling to to side with her transphobic notions of ‘social contagion’, she’s taken out legal action against them! 🙄😣
It’s obvious that ‘Mrs A’s’ child at the age of 16, is still questioning their gender after ‘coming out’ at age 11.

‘Mrs A’ clearly doesn’t want her child to be trans, so she is doing everything in her power to covertly impose her will.

This is conversion therapy by deception!
Her comments “blaming” her child’s gender identity questioning on autism is a tactic used by anti-trans campaigners to try and infantilise trans people and remove their autonomy over their own lives.
Again, a reminder that ‘Mrs A’ HAS NO EXPERIENCE OF THE TAVISTOCK AND IS BASING HER KNOWLEDGE ON HEARSAY AND TRANSPHOBIC HYPERBOLE!

It also sounds very much that what she actually wants the @TaviAndPort to do is perform conversion therapy on her child! 😳
‘Angela’ then spouts a whole load of sexist stereotypes...

On the one hand her “daughter” played with “boyish things” as a child but then turned to “stereotypically female” things as they got older.

Surely she knows that gender expression is separate from gender identity?
It’s been cited again and again by trans adults that a common time that they realised they were trans was when their body started changing in puberty... about the time children move to secondary school! 🙄
A kid questioning their gender / sexuality / whatever seeks out information and support to find out more and to better understand themselves, so as not to feel so alone and shit!

And this is bad, why? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Clearly ‘Angela’ would rather her child was isolated, uninformed & alone!
‘Angela’ went to court to argue that under 18’s couldn’t possibly understand the implications of being trans, yet she admits that her own child AT THE AGE OF 11 was fully informed, including full knowledge of possible surgical procedures!!!
‘Angela’ is (expectedly) twisting the truth...

1. There is no “trans orthodoxy”
2. Children aren’t “encouraged” to “denounce their parents
3. However, if a child *is* experiencing abuse at home, wouldn’t it be prudent to suggest they get help / get away from it? 🤔
Let’s not pretend that all parents are good parents - some can be physically and psychologically abusive!

Unfortunately, instances of abuse towards children displaying gender nonconformity or gender questioning behaviour is still unacceptably high. 😞

➡️ https://t.co/AgUdrbc5jF
So, ‘Mrs A’s’ child tells her she’s trans, so what does ‘Mrs A’ do...

Cut off access to any support, then take the ONLY NHS clinic that can help her child to court in order to make ABSOLUTELY SURE her child can’t get treatment!!! 😳😳😖
Again, more confirmation that ‘Angela’ is only willing to listen to her child, just so long as her child says what ‘Angela’ wants to hear!

Imagine her child saying “I’m gay, I’ve always felt it”, and ‘Angela’ saying “No you’re not, stop rewriting history!”... It’s no different!
Another reminder: ‘ANGELA’ HAS NO DIRECT EXPERIENCE OF THE TAVISTOCK CLINIC, BUT TOOK THEM TO COURT TO STOP THEM TREATING HER CHILD BECAUSE OF “CONCERNS”*

*transphobia
Because we should *absolutely* ban everyone from having “life changing” abortions because ONE person regrets it! 😖

Let’s also ignore the FACT that Keira Bell CONTINUED to CONSENT to transition procedures as an ADULT!

This is NOT reason to remove treatment from ALL trans kids!
Let’s be absolutely clear here - ‘Mrs A’ took the @TaviAndPort to court because she not only wanted to push her anti-trans ‘gender critical’ beliefs on her own child, but also impose her ideology on EVERYONE ELSES TRANS CHILDREN TOO!!!
This moves to another issue... The failing of GIDS in keeping robust data - This is not disputed, and was one of the MANY reasons why @Mermaids_Gender & @stonewalluk sought to intercede in the court case - So that they could contribute some of the EXTENSIVE international data!
Unlike ‘Angela’ who jumped to take the Tavi to court, I’ve actually got first-hand experience and have spoken with their clinicians.

1. One criticism by parents whose kids are treated by GIDS, is that they’re often seen through a lense of “clinical curiosity”
This comment also ignores the practical fact that the Tavi have been dealing both with a massive rise in referrals AND an uptick in dealing with trans-hostile lobbying - both which impact the opportunity for research.
AGAIN ‘Angela’ has absolutely NO IDEA how the Tavi would respond, because SHE’S NEVER HAD ANY APPOINTMENTS WITH THEM!

Her assumptions are based on misinformation and rhetoric gleaned from the transphobic echo chambers she occupies! 😣
A reminder: Angela’s’ child told her they were trans at 11. They’re now 16. Does she *really* think her teen will ‘change their mind’ in the next 2 years?

Also, the legal ruling states 16+ year olds can still consent to blockers!

All she’s done is stop OTHER kids getting care!
As always with the blatantly biased trans-hostile Daily Mail stories, the ACTUAL FACTS are relegated to a tiny paragraph at the bottom of the article! 😖 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
This is yet ANOTHER trans-hostile article from the - without exception - transphobic UK mainstream media, based on lies, hyperbole, and the platforming of those with bigoted ideological views! 😞

https://t.co/DhLm5avLck
⚠️ It’s just been flagged to me that in Section 89 of the Judgement Bell v Tavistock it states that Mrs A child hasn’t been referred to GIDS.

It appears that ‘Angela’ is lying. She didn’t refer the child & there was no letter from GIDS with male pronouns! 😳

Statement from the #JusticeForShukriAbdi Campaign

The Coroner released her verdict of accidental death brings to a close a painful chapter for the family, one which has been made even more painful due to the failure of all the institutions that were meant to protect Shukri.

17 months ago,this campaign was created in the wake of the tragic death of Shukri. Since then her mother Zamzam &her family have faced what can only be described as a never-ending nightmare as she demanded answers & the truth of her beloved daughter's last moments on this earth

This vulnerable refugee mother, whose daughter was taken from her in dubious  circumstances, was left in limbo with unanswered questions and her own trauma to deal with all the while trying to support her other children come to terms with what had happened to their older sister

Her family protected her the moment she stepped onto UK soil, but sadly those authorities who should have protected Shukri Abdi, categorically and without question, failed her.  The facts are now firmly out there for the world to see that this was not merely a 'tragic accident'.

This campaign was set up to protect & provide support for the family, & to fight alongside the legal team to ensure that the truth of Shukri's death was exposed, & to ensure that no family ever has to experience the obstacles this mother had to face to simply get to the truth

THREAD PART 1.

On Sunday 21st June, 14 year old Noah Donohoe left his home to meet his friends at Cave Hill Belfast to study for school. #RememberMyNoah💙


He was on his black Apollo mountain bike, fully dressed, wearing a helmet and carrying a backpack containing his laptop and 2 books with his name on them. He also had his mobile phone with him.

On the 27th of June. Noah's naked body was sadly discovered 950m inside a storm drain, between access points. This storm drain was accessible through an area completely unfamiliar to him, behind houses at Northwood Road. https://t.co/bpz3Rmc0wq


"Noah's body was found by specially trained police officers between two drain access points within a section of the tunnel running under the Translink access road," said Mr McCrisken."

Noah's bike was also found near a house, behind a car, in the same area. It had been there for more than 24 hours before a member of public who lived in the street said she read reports of a missing child and checked the bike and phoned the police.

🌺श्री गरुड़ पुराण - संक्षिप्त वर्णन🌺

हिन्दु धर्म के 18 पुराणों में से एक गरुड़ पुराण का हिन्दु धर्म में बड़ा महत्व है। गरुड़ पुराण में मृत्यु के बाद सद्गती की व्याख्या मिलती है। इस पुराण के अधिष्ठातृ देव भगवान विष्णु हैं, इसलिए ये वैष्णव पुराण है।


गरुड़ पुराण के अनुसार हमारे कर्मों का फल हमें हमारे जीवन-काल में तो मिलता ही है परंतु मृत्यु के बाद भी अच्छे बुरे कार्यों का उनके अनुसार फल मिलता है। इस कारण इस पुराण में निहित ज्ञान को प्राप्त करने के लिए घर के किसी सदस्य की मृत्यु के बाद का समय निर्धारित किया गया है...

..ताकि उस समय हम जीवन-मरण से जुड़े सभी सत्य जान सकें और मृत्यु के कारण बिछडने वाले सदस्य का दुख कम हो सके।
गरुड़ पुराण में विष्णु की भक्ति व अवतारों का विस्तार से उसी प्रकार वर्णन मिलता है जिस प्रकार भगवत पुराण में।आरम्भ में मनु से सृष्टि की उत्पत्ति,ध्रुव चरित्र की कथा मिलती है।


तदुपरांत सुर्य व चंद्र ग्रहों के मंत्र, शिव-पार्वती मंत्र,इन्द्र सम्बंधित मंत्र,सरस्वती मंत्र और नौ शक्तियों के बारे में विस्तार से बताया गया है।
इस पुराण में उन्नीस हज़ार श्लोक बताए जाते हैं और इसे दो भागों में कहा जाता है।
प्रथम भाग में विष्णुभक्ति और पूजा विधियों का उल्लेख है।

मृत्यु के उपरांत गरुड़ पुराण के श्रवण का प्रावधान है ।
पुराण के द्वितीय भाग में 'प्रेतकल्प' का विस्तार से वर्णन और नरकों में जीव के पड़ने का वृत्तांत मिलता है। मरने के बाद मनुष्य की क्या गति होती है, उसका किस प्रकार की योनियों में जन्म होता है, प्रेत योनि से मुक्ति के उपाय...

Chennakeshava Temple, Somanathapura, Karnataka.

This temple, not to be confused with the Belur Chennakeshava temple, was built during the Hoysala period by a Hoysala general named Dandanayaka Somanatha. The temple dedicated to lord Vishnu was consecrated in 1258.


Dandanayaka Somanatha established a village named Somanathapura on the banks of river Kaveri. He sought the permission of King Narasimha III, to begin construction of a grand temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu that would also showcase the might of Hoysalas.(1)


The temple rests on a high star shaped platform (jagati) with 3 sanctums (garbha griha) making it a trikuta, set in a square matrix oriented along the east west and north south axes.(2)


The western sanctum is dedicated to Kesava, the northern sanctum to Janardhana and the southern sanctum to Venugopala, all are forms of lord Vishnu.(3)


The sanctums share a common community hall (sabha mandapa) with many pillars. Above each of these sanctums rise the 16 pointed star shaped tower called vimana or shikara.(4)

Light travels at about 1 foot per nanosecond.

Hold your hand up 12 inches from your face: you’re seeing your hand as it was a nanosecond ago. Everything you look at is, to one degree or another, in the past. The farther away in space, the more ancient in time.

You can’t see the Sun as it is now, but you can see it as it was about 8 minutes ago. You can’t see Alpha Centauri now, but you can see it 4.4 years ago. You can see the Andromeda Galaxy as it was 2.5 million years in the past. And so on.

With powerful telescopes, we can see galaxies whose light has been traveling to us for more than 13 billion years. We see them shining in a universe that’s still young, where gravity has just begun to pull matter together into stars and galaxies.

We can see something even more distant, and more ancient, than the first galaxies. If we peer out far enough, in between the galaxies, we can see parts of the Universe that are so far away, it has taken the light from that distance almost the entire age of the cosmos to reach us.

1/ Productivity tip: when I keep procrastinating on something I often trick myself by saying, "ok just work on it for the next 20 minutes" or some short period of time, "and then you can chill/relax guilt free" and give myself some treat (sugar, netflix, etc)

2/ Usually at the 20 minute mark (sometimes I set a timer) I'm so engrossed in what I'm doing that I don't want want to stop and end up working on it for the next hour or two. But getting started seems to be the hardest part.

3/ Key to this: you have to actually be ok with stopping after 20 minutes and being guilt free if that's how you feel. So it's not a trick, i have the option every time, I just often don't want to use it once i'm in the zone.

THE LESSER KNOWN MAHARANA OF MEWAR:RANA KUMBHA
Kumbalgarh Fort is one of most spectacular sites of India,atop a hill abt 3600ft above sea lvl in the https://t.co/LkjmzzBhE2's second largest wall is surrounding it.A fort wall second only to Great wall of China,still not so famous.


This longest wall of India stretches to almost 36Km and encompasses a few hills, many step wells and over 360 temples and palaces. Birth place of the Great Maharana Pratap, this fort is named after another Great Maharana of Mewar, who is not given his due in the History.


Builder of many architectural marvels like the Kumbhalgarh Fort, an erudite scholar, a patron of arts, music, culture & a great warrior was the Great Maharana Kumbha. Yet we don't know much about him. Let's get to know him a little.


Maharana Kumbha was the undefeated King of Mewar from 1433-1468CE.He never lost any battles &kept Mewar out of the reach of Islamic Invaders till the time he was alive. Born on Makar Sakranti to Maharana Mokal & Saubhagya Devi, Rana Kumbha was only 13 when he ascended the throne.


His father was killed by his own relatives in a political conspiracy. He was a powerful King about 8ft tall &charismatic personality,a hardcore Hindu Rajput who could shed his life for Hindu honour without thinking twice.He was an ardent skillful warrior who never lost a battle.
