Late last year, the Department of Health and Social Care updated the official documents for reporting the details surrounding the death of a child.
What happened shows how there is no sacrosanct corner out of bounds for the promotion of gender ideology.
According to the newly updated ‘Child death reporting form’, the three most important things you need to know about a child who has died are his or her age, sex and gender identity.
Should we care? This is data gathering, not the front line of the gender debate, encroaching on women’s single sex spaces or prescribing irreversible drugs to school children.
We should care, because it illustrates the extraordinary reach of gender ideology. This ideology undermines science and the truth – foundations of our society. If we roll out quackery, unchallenged and everywhere, we will eventually lose sight of the truth.
Gender ideology isn’t even harmless quackery like star signs. It causes terrible harm. We actually lie to our children in schools when we tell them they have an inner gender identity. Children are predisposed to believe adults. We breach a duty of trust and care when we lie to them – and we are doing that at a policy level in our schools right now. When some of those children go down a pathway of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and body-modification surgeries they are harmed for life. We’re actively promoting this harm, letting it roll out everywhere.
How does it happen? Case studies are instructive.
Via a Parliamentary question in December, Baroness Hayter asked for the rationale for the change to child death reporting. She received a blow-off from Baroness Merron. “This was to capture the language used by young people and their families to improve system learning and to support the prevention of future deaths.”
Sorry but “capturing the language of young people and their families” will not “improve systems learning and support the prevention of future deaths”. The fact that our civil service and a Baroness were willing to publish such a non-sequitur bodes ill.
I tried an FOI. The ‘National Child Mortality Database Programme’ (NCMDP) which collects and manages these data operates out of Bristol University.
Here are my questions:
The forms for reporting a child’s death have been recently updated to include a question about a child’s gender identity. Please see here.
1) Please can you send me any policy or positioning papers that you authored or received, which argue for/against, or set out the rationale, for this change to the relevant forms.
2) Please send me all emails received by or sent within the department that discuss changes to the Child death notification form and the Child death reporting form, relating to asking an additional question about a child’s gender identity.
3) Please send me any information you have about the final rationale for making this change, including where the original request or suggestion for the change came from, and who signed it off, along with justifying logic.
The short answer to how gender ideology gets embedded across our systems can be found in one (bonkers) email. Here it is:
That was it. Follow-on policy papers, rationale, justifying logic? No. “FOI Q1. The University does not hold any policy or positioning papers falling within the scope of your request.” “FOI Q3. The University does not hold any further information beyond the attached [emails] falling within the scope of your request.”
Here is what followed the email. First, this is the old Child Death Reporting Form capturing a ‘discussion by comment box’.
Then there is a “future annual updates log” which records changes and captures rationale. First, “sex” is changed to “sex registered at birth” – implying it can change! It might be worth trying to see the referenced “extended discussions”.
Then the gender identity question is added with the explanation being the email above. We also witness “non-binary” overriding “in some other way”, exemplifying how our institutions are governed by ludicrous passing fads. What will come next and are previous versions transphobic?
There is an interesting email that records the activity in response to my FOI:
This exchange confirms we’re not missing anything. One email and “someone from NHSE who was to do with social care (I can’t remember name)” are all it takes to remove science and embed ideology deep into our systems.
How can we undo all this if we ever have the political will? Abolishing quangos and bringing them back under democratic control will help. But it will also take something like Trump’s Executive Orders. Our civil servants must be tasked with eradicating gender ideology from our systems wherever they find it.

Finally. For far too long the churches have completely abstained from their role in calling out this nonsense.
Many of the signatories have spoken out throughout. We’re just too ‘small’, or the MSM have ignored us in favour of the Welbies of this world. I wrote and published, in print and online, a seriously critical article of these events LAST APRIL.
But hardly encouraging when they have so far, with few exceptions, cooperated fully with each dictat. I can still forsee some willingly inspecting domestic vaccine passports to see who is allowed to attend a service and particularly vetting those who aren’t normally members of the congregation for christenings, weddings and funerals.
I refer you to my comments above.
But it could cut both ways; just refuse to have any contact with the vaccinated people.
Put a bench outside your house, (chained to the wall): “Only for unvaccinated people”.
Did Welby sign it?
Ha.Ha. Ever so ha.
Face-knickered Dustbin Jellybaby?
No – I had a CTRL F search: not even Carey, whom I thought might be there.
I have just copied the list to a word document and I could find a few Bishops, but the word occurred in a number of place names and some of those who call themselves Bishops were actually Bishops of independent churches – good for them.
I found two Rt. Reverends.
Of Welby and Cottrell there was no sign.
It is NOT good enough for them to say that they did not know about it – 1100 (would that it were 7,000) other clergymen and church workers did.
They have numerous people in their dioceses who scour, or ought to scour the news and these people should have passed on this intelligence. Either they did not do so or the notice was ignored.
Not bishops.
Not popes.
Not leaders of any church.
Just Irreverend, a couple of ordinary CofE clergy who have not betrayed God.
Bless them and all who stand with them.
Social distancing is a form of ‘apartheid’ literally, the word means ‘separateness’.
Absolutely…
Meanwhile the Goveling is off to Israel to investigate how draconian technofascist health apartheid works?

The guidance on worship only states that we “should” socially distance in church, not that we “must”. Some of us do not therefore insist on this unpleasantness.
About time too
‘Onward Chistian Soldiers’
needs to come back into fashion.
Who are those folks who refuse medical interventions even to the point of the death of their children, Church Of The Latter Day Saints, Mormons ?
Can’t imagine they are too keen on being inseminated with deceased fetal monkey spunk.
Jehovah’s Witnesses?

It is easier to fool the people than to convince them that they have been fooled – I guess this is what is going on when my husband today is STILL explaining away another potential lockdown
yes sadly all signs seem to point to another lockdown on way
It’s not the Church mission to call out ‘this nonsense’ their mission is to proclaim the good news so men and women are saved by God’s grace. The Church is standing its ground on articles of faith at a time of its own choosing, a fearful thing – it can only terrify Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson.

Many world leaders have been people who have had faith…Cameron, Obama to name a couple. The fact that Boris isn’t is actually very telling in the policies that his government bring out. Ones that show just how disconnected they are with people; but more than that, that they have very little sense of compassion for the average person as well.
Cameron and Obama have faith in themselves, not in a Sovereign God who alone saves.
It is fantastic that churches are speaking out. For too long churches have been silenced by people who believe that religion and politics should not mix. Religion is still very much a part of society, and will never be rendered irrelevant. Well done and keep calling our politicians out. God is our salvation, he is our guide, God will see us through these times of trouble. God is always by our side.
When faith leaders or even ordinary believers can explain why a loving god would allow something like Covid to happen then they should perhaps be listened to, but not before.
Don’t say god works in mysterious ways, or it’s a test of faith or any of the usual excuses. Obviously god has to allow people to die at some point to prevent massive overpopulation, but a heart attack would do the trick, not a slow painful death from Covid.
Humans ae responsible for this virus surely?
I seldom have time for religious leaders of any faith, but I fully back this letter to BoJo the clown. This would indeed be the “thin end of the wedge”, an opening for power-crazed politicians and officials to continually push the boundaries ( and goalposts!) which will gnaw away any freedoms we thought we had. Nein danke, Herr Johnson!
