We heard about the LGBT Youth Scotland scandals the other day, with Janice Turner wondering why they were still given a pass, despite the revelation of paedophiles within the organisation, and their continued pushing of an extreme trans agenda.

Here's more, from the Sunday Post yesterday:

Child health experts have voiced concerns about the content of controversial LGBT Youth Scotland Coming Out Guides, including one co-authored by convicted paedophile Andrew Easton.

Educational psychologist Carolyn Brown warns that the three LGBT Youth Scotland guides, made accessible to schools across the country, are full of “misinformation” that she brands “manipulative and influencing”….

Brown said: “These guides are unbalanced, unequivocal and clearly not written by any expert. They simply should not be accessible to our schoolchildren.

“They are misleading, grooming and full of product placement that would easily influence vulnerable young people, particularly those who have autism which so many of the target group of this organisation do.

“From start to finish, these guides ­create concern and set out to skew the views of the children and young adults reading it. There is clear evidence they are not written by professionals with expertise in either mental health, ­education or child development.

“They have, instead, been written by individuals who have already been duped by the entirely false and ­unprovable ­concept of transgenderism."

Or by people who are fully aware of what they're doing, and see transgender ideology as a key element in the grooming of young children.

The respected former educational psychologist for Fife Council said: “Even the term ‘Coming Out’ in these guides has been stolen from the gay rights movement from the 80s and 90s when these guides have nothing to do with being gay and everything to do with grooming, confusing vulnerable children and wrecking families.

“The first Coming Out Guide sets out to promote the idea of transgenderism. It contains 44 pages and 99% of those are focused on transgenderism.

“On one of the few pages where being gay is mentioned (page seven), it infers that a teenage lesbian may be ­transgender instead.

“Instead of supporting children and their families to accept and manage the developmental realities of growing up into a healthy adulthood, these guides suggest, as the transgender movement suggests, that there is a magical alternative. This magical alternative is, in reality, a lifetime of psychological misery and medicalisation worth millions of pounds to pharmaceutical companies and the medical industry. Numerous de-transitioners are now testament to this fact.”…

Top Scots paediatrician Dr Jennifer Cunningham, who specialises in autism, also warns of an “almost casual reference” to taking controversial cross-sex hormones in the guides which can not only cause lifelong changes but also life-limiting side-effects.

She said LGBT Youth Scotland’s Trans and Non-Binary and Questioning Coming Out Guide is full of images of young people emerging as colourful butterflies, and says the guide is littered with concerning content….

“Our children are now being told that the categories “man” and “woman” or “boy” and “girl” are outdated conventions rather than scientific facts.

“The big problem is that the ‘evidence’ in these guides is actually ideology, not real evidence drawn from scientific study or a research project. And they simply ignore the growing body of evidence about the lifelong harm transitioning does cause.

It gets worse.

A paediatric staff nurse withdrew her autistic daughter from class after she received inappropriate photos of a man in bed with a child and messages on self-harming from her school LGBT club members.

Now the outraged mum is paying £20,000 a year private school fees after finding every other secondary in East Lothian was signed up to LGBT Youth Scotland’s School Charter Scheme….
