The Telegraph:

A disabled child was banned from summer camp after his mother expressed gender-critical views, The Telegraph can reveal.

The eight-year-old was preparing for his first residential trip in July organised by Over the Wall (OTW) – a Derby-based charity that runs getaways for disabled children and their families. But he and his mother, 52, were turned away after she insisted, during a heated discussion with an organiser from the camp, that people could not change sex.

So now children have to believe in Magic Gender in order to go to summer camp?

But internal papers documenting the incident state that the eight-year-old was barred after the summer camp concluded that the mother’s “views on gender and inclusivity” did not “align” with its own.

How does that work? How is it “inclusivity” to drop a child from summer camp because his mother doesn’t believe in magic swappable gender? Where’s the “inclusivity” for that child?

In a form section labelled “getting to know the camper”, the charity asked: “What are your child’s pronouns?”

In response to the question, the child’s mother, who lives in the south of Scotland, replied: “Seriously?”

In March, months after she had submitted the application, the parent was called by Sally McCluskie, a clinical director at the charity.

In a written summary of the call uncovered by the mother using a subject access request, which allows an individual to see all personal information an organisation holds about them, Ms McCluskie recalled “explaining the importance of pronouns at our camps to ensure inclusivity and respect for all children”.

She added: “[The mother] immediately became defensive, stating that we cannot tell her child what to say. She made it clear that if her child sees a girl, he should refer to her as a girl. [The mother] strongly stated that there are only two genders (male and female) and that biology cannot be changed. I attempted to explain that as a charity, we value diversity and inclusion, and our primary focus is to ensure that every child feels safe and respected at camp, regardless of their gender identity.”

How can every child feel safe and respected at camp when every child is expected to have an opinion on genner idenniny and that opinion has to be the approved one?

As I’ve whispered a billion times, you can’t do both. You can’t burble about incloosividee and feeling safe n respected while at the same time mandating that every child obey all the requirements of genner ideology. It is not “inclusive” to order children to pretend that some children are the sex they are not.

Fraser Hudghton, director of the Free Speech Union Scotland, said: “The facts of this case are plain. Here we have a young child with a lifelong health condition prevented from attending a summer camp designed specifically for boys and girls like him. 

“This has happened because organisers deemed his mum’s rational response to an irrational question unacceptable.”

Exactly so.
