I have been caught in the vortex of the transgender
nightmare for nearly three years. I was a teacher at New College Swindon and
after a female student in my class told me she wanted to be referred to with a
male name, I raised safeguarding concerns. They were never properly answered and
instead it led to my dismissal on safeguarding grounds, and a referral to the
government’s Disclosure and Barring service which then put me on the barred
list. I now face a lifetime of social ostracisation and rather than assumed
innocent until proven guilty, I was assumed guilty with no chance to prove
innocence.
My legal battle against this is an ongoing drain on my life.
The irony is not lost on me that my preliminary hearing to the employment
appeal tribunal will be on the 100th year anniversary of the Scopestrial, or the Monkey trial as it is more commonly known. In this trial a
teacher had to fight for his liberty because he had the temerity to teach that
man evolved from apes rather than being created by God. That case and mine
tightly interlock around state attempts to ban the teaching of science to
children in favour of ideologically based beliefs, and this is despite the
100-year time difference.
If there is any consolation for me, it is that
transgenderism is coming to an end, just as the mandated teaching of
creationism finally did. We may soon be able to breathe a sigh of relief, as
almost all thinking people have realised that something that looks absurd
actually is.
The transgender movement is now on life support. It is being
beaten in the courts, government guidance is beating it out of the education
system, the Cass Review is beating it out of the medical profession and the
media is beating credibility out of it. Just like a dying person being
surrounded by frantic doctors doing all in their power to stop an irreversible
transition from life to death, then so it is with the transgender ideology. A
small cadre of diehards who are committed to reviving the dying transgender
fantasy are doing everything in their power to breathe life back into their
soon to be corpse on the forlorn hope that they can triumphantly return it to
the centre stage where it was once so firmly anchored.
The motivations of this extremist cadre are many and none
should be underestimated. Some are parents motivated by the guilt they carry
after damaging their children for life; some are teachers and schools whose
motivation comes from being coerced into EDI races and being too foolish to
realise their folly; some are politically motivated and spurred on by the need
to demonstrate their commitment to the most extreme manifestation of their
beliefs; some are sexual deviants motivated by the easy access to children that
the trans movement has enabled. And then finally, there are those whose
motivation is good old money and power such as the charities, medical
practitioners, and lobbyists who feasted like swarms of cockroaches on
vulnerable children and young adults.
A freedom of information request showed Mermaids, the
Tavistock Centre, and transgender lobbyists from the Lib Dem party swarming
together with civil servants from the Department of Education to get the
transgender ideology mandated into schools, even though they admitted at the
time that there was no evidence to support their dangerous enterprise. All
these instigators benefited financially, and the Lib Dem’s receipt of £1.5million at the same time from Ferring Pharmaceuticals who manufacture puberty blockers
is an egregious conflict of interest that is completely indefensible.
The fallout from this dystopian manipulation is thousands of
children damaged for life, good families destroyed, bad families exploited, the
education system undermined, the medical profession perverted, the justice
system corrupted, and trust in the institutions of state shattered. At best, a
demoralised nation will require a generation to recover from the pain and
injury it has suffered.
As part of that recovery, a fundamental question must be
answered; why did this happen in the nations with the most advanced education
systems and most advanced concepts of free speech and the rule of law in the
world?
This is a complex question that nobody can truly answer it,
and my attempt to do so is simply a reflection from my own experience. I am not
an expert in this field as there is no knowledge to build expertise upon as our
society has never faced such a profound challenge before or anything analogous
to it. So, others will no doubt disagree with my answer or offer a different
set of answers, but the same caveat applies; they aren’t experts either.
The starting point in framing my answer is that the success
of the transgender ideologues is because their ideology is so extremely evil
and it was deployed on such a vast scale that it was beyond the understanding
of all normal, rational people who rely on the cooperation and the goodwill of
others to survive day to day.
To put this in perspective, the first hideous attempts to
convert children from one sex to the other were conducted by Dr. Josef Mengele
in Auschwitz on children who were forced into his laboratories. His terrors
were reliably documented by Eva Mozes Kor who suffered terribly at his hands.
Needless to say, there were few survivors to testify on his appalling
experimental programme. There was no science then to justify his psychopathic
torture, and eighty years later when the Cass Review was finally published
there was still none to justify the coercion of children into the modern-day
version of his experiments. Yet, in the intervening time this extreme and
barbaric experiment escaped from Auschwitz to become mainstream in the most
developed nations on the planet.
The nations where this terrible Auschwitz escapee found its
safest home were those that had fought in unison to stop the evil of the Nazis
and at a terrible cost. Such a noble history of success and perseverance
against the odds breeds complacency and the misplaced belief that the
democratic foundations and systems of governance that delivered victory over
totalitarianism are unshakable. But they are not. They are terribly fragile,
especially in this time of growing uncertainty driven by frightening technological
change and the ever looming threat of an
existential outcome from climate change which we are powerless to
stop.
The resulting complacency and uncertainty was exploited by
the transgender ideologues who presented their rainbow unicorns as an antidote
to the darkness of climate change, and they were supported by governments
around the world to do so, because all governments would rather have young
people marching on the streets for Pride rather than blockading them in the
name of climate change. With that support transgender ideologues attacked the
values that Western democracies were built upon with a modern-day version of
Mengele’s evil experiment on a scale that dwarfed anything he or his Nazi
sponsors could ever have envisioned.
Their attack was audacious in the extreme. They
simultaneously corrupted all the democratic, legal, and intellectual systems in
a powerful surprise attack. It was a modern-day Pearl Harbour, and almost
nobody believed it was happening, even when it was obvious it was. Like
Pearl Harbour, it was well planned and funded. Its preliminary moves were to
change the legal system through the Equality Act in the UK and similar
elsewhere, to silence dissent with EDI programmes, to target anyone by
manipulating language, to deprive dissenters access to justice, to destroy free
speech and to finally replace free thought with thought control. My case
testifies to all of these.
During this attack, it was easier for the average men and
women to accept defeat and justify the madness with acceptance of the ideology
in whatever form was demanded of them, even when the ideology demanded their
children as raw material for its industrial complex.
This is an appalling observation, but put simply and
bluntly, the greater the evil the greater the chance that the collective
response is to disbelieve it, because to accept great evil is to undermine the
faith we all need in humanity. Furthermore, as things get worse our hunger for
faith in humanity increases and the more likely we are to dismiss the evidence
of great evil.
The spectrum of human experience offers many such examples
of extreme irrational responses to unexpected and great evil. One close
parallel to the transgender disaster is that of Dr. David Southall. He was an
eminent and highly thought of paediatrician who introduced to the world the
concept of Fabricated and Induced Illnesses where parents, usually mothers,
deliberately injure or kill their children in acts of total evil. In so doing
he saved the lives of many vulnerable children. His reward was to be hounded
out of the medical profession as no one at the time wanted to believe the
evidence that he had so carefully collected and presented could be true. Even
now, after his exoneration, no one wants to link Fabricated and Induced Illness
with the parents who encouraged their children to present as the opposite sex,
and when I raised this in my defence it was used against me as evidence of
transphobia and lack of contrition.
So what do we learn and how do we stop anything like this
from happening again?
We learn that the great institutions of state can easily be
perverted by ideologues to act against the people they are supposed to serve,
especially in times of stress. We learn that great evil is always present, and
we should always be ready to resist it. We learn that education systems, on
their own, are no defence against extremism and instead can be used to enable
it. We learn that instead of living in robust democracies, we live in fragile
states that can slide easily into dystopian dictatorships. Finally, we
should understand that if an ideology as absurd as transgenderism, which has as
its basis the proposition that children can and should change sex, then any
evil ideology can take hold.
