🚨The @NSPCC poses a safeguarding risk🚨

Today, it was announced that thousands of children have sought counselling from the charity for gender identity over the past year.

However, this is anything but explorative, ethical counselling. This is indoctrination.

As I have…

As I have documented over the years, this is an organisation that:

-Runs message boards in which children advise each other about sourcing cross-sex hormones and genital surgery.

-Offers advice to vulnerable children on wearing breast binders.

-Tells children that, if they are left infertile after transitioning, they can always get a surrogate to carry a baby for them.

-Is run by a CEO who has said that ‘transwomen’ should be “celebrated”.

-Has a webpage which reads as a roadmap to transitioning.

-Has trans flags flying in its counselling rooms.

-Collaborated with Mermaids.

-Enlists children to make pride flags for marches.

-Sells ideological reading material through its online shop.

-Kicked me out, after 5 years of volunteering as a counsellor, because I refused to denounce biological reality.

Head of Childline, Shaun Friel, the man who booted me out, has said today that it is a “privilege” to work with children “coming out” regarding their “gender identity”.

If our children are not safe contacting the NSPCC, where are they safe?

From NSPCC news:

• In 2024/251, Childline delivered over 2,400 counselling sessions to children and young people with issues or concerns about sexuality and gender identity.
• Two in five of these counselling sessions were about coming out.

Coming out, here, means coming out as gay or as trans. They've completely bought into the idea of the trans child – the child born into the wrong body.

For instance:

One transgender boy, aged 17, told Childline:

"I'm trans and still kinda in the process of figuring my identity out. There's been so much hate for us lately in the news in terms of people taking their lives, kids being attacked, governments putting harmful laws in place. I'm scared as to what this means for my future, and if I'll ever be able to live as myself."

The full panoply of delusions about trans persecution and the struggle to "be able to live as myself ", straight off social media. A responsible children's charity would do their best to discourage this troubled soul from believing that somehow they can change sex and all will be well. Not the NSPCC though.
