The tide is turning, but legal action and speeches cannot undo the damage doing by trans ideologues
by Jo Bartosch, CapX:
You probably aren’t being paranoid, the equalities evangelists in your workplace may actually be after you. That’s certainly the case if you’re an academic, to judge by a genuinely disturbing report that University and College Union (UCU) members plotted to compile a list of university staff suspected of holding gender-critical beliefs.
It’s not just universities: from primary school upwards, educational institutions have been transformed into ideological factories. Thankfully, the Government seems to now being doing something about it.
Yesterday, Attorney General Suella Braverman delivered a lecture at Policy Exchange in which she savaged the long march of the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) industry through both the public and private sector. She took aim at EDI lobby groups for building ‘mighty citadels of grievance’ where equality laws are used to gag opponents.
Under the surface of this typical crowd-pleasing ‘political correctness gone mad’ speech was a vital, moral point. It is children who are the primary victims of trendy adult posturing about gender identity, and some will now grow up with its lessons literally carved into their bodies. And over recent years many adults with a duty to protect youngsters, to tell them the truth – that sex cannot be changed – have allowed themselves to become mouthpieces for the trans lobby. When we speak about that lobby, we’re not talking about people simply asking for the same rights that everyone enjoys, but a deeply political, intolerant and highly ideological movement that wants to foist its beliefs on the rest of us and brooks no criticism.
