3/ Gender Spectrum's work in schools goes beyond bathrooms & prevention of bullying. "Schools in Transition" evinces no nuance for loving parents, branding them "unsupportive" if they don't affirm a gender identity, & suggests such parents lose custody. https://www.genderspectrum.org/staging/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Schools-in-Transition-2015.pdf …pic.twitter.com/CMCO7bXjUe

4/ What do we mean by "no nuance"? As so often happens with trans activist dogma, a parent who expresses reasonable concerns about their child's gender identity is conflated with "rejection," being "unsupportive," or "unaffirming" (in the Gender Spectrum guide).

5/ Gender Spectrum's (very professional) website discusses trainings, conferences, & affiliation w/UCSF's Benioff Children's Hospital, home to grantees of $5.7 million NIH grant for "affirmative" clinicians (including Diane Ehrensaft & Steven Rosenthal).https://www.genderspectrum.org/we-can-help/

6/ The National Education Association (NEA) co-authored the Schools in Transition guide. NEA represents ~3 million public educators. Given this level of influence by this private charity in public schools, US media has a duty to investigate.http://neatoday.org/2015/10/08/schools-in-transition-a-guide-to-support-transgender-students-in-k-12/ …

7/ Gender Spectrum's work (and by association, the NEA) isn't just about "supporting" trans students. It is heavily involved in promoting the practice of social/medical transition for K-12 students. From the Schools in Transition guide:pic.twitter.com/V56jCNu0m8

8/ Whatever your views on what Gender Spectrum does, hopefully all can agree the public has a right to know more about an organization which has to much influence in our school system. Just as UK media are shining a light on Mermaids.

9/ To our UK followers (including several UK journalists), here's our Father Christmas (oops! Nonbinary Giftgiver) wish: In 2019, could you please help us research & publicize Gender Spectrum (as we've helped you research and publicize Mermaids)?https://www.genderspectrum.org/
