Arthur, you seem to be referring to me since I’m the only man on the Steering Committee of @ALLIANCELGB Your claim is entirely untrue. Here’s a thread where I explained my position. I thought you valued your reputation as honest. It would appear not.https://twitter.com/TwisterFilm/status/1220842159508807680 …

The original proponents of Section 28, including your beloved Baroness, didn't literally say all gay men were predators either - nobody actually says that in public, not even the worst homophobes It's always acting out of "an abundance of caution"

You’ve changed your claim to say I “implied” but your original tweet claimed I was “on the record” as saying gay teachers were a danger. I didn’t say that. I said a tiny minority of teachers both straight and gay are predatory of which the vast majority are straight. Why lie?

Whatever you think the relative size of the danger is, you think it's sufficient to oppose the existence of Gay-Straight Alliance orgs in schools, which is the actual point

If you bothered to read the thread or other comments I’ve made you’d know that my concern is about a failure to observe child safeguarding rules in relation to some groups. These rules exist to protect kids from predatory men whatever their sexuality.

Right, you're bothered by basic shit like schools having safe spaces where stuff they say about their gender and sexuality isn't reported to parents

Most teachers don’t consider child safeguarding policies “basic shit”. Confidentiality can be important but parents also have a right to know what issues are discussed by their child with older kids or adults in groups organised around sexuality.

Parents are among the most likely perpetrators of child abuse, not the firebreak against abuse that you like to pretend they are.

It is very commonly accepted at this point that you are *by far* much more likely to be abused by a parent or someone close to your parents -- a "trusted family member" -- than an external predator out in the world The "stranger danger" narrative is a huge, dangerous distortion

But it's one that TERFs and other conservatives are *deeply* invested in And the media is complicit, because an external predator kidnapping someone or running a "grooming gang" makes for a much more lurid, memorable story

(VERY strong overlap in the UK between TERFs fuming about Stonewall and the Islamophobes shouting "Why is no one talking about Rotherham?!")
