Here's the description of what's being paid for. Short thread below.

Gendered Intelligence: as in authors of this highly tendentious advice about Equality Act
"Under no circumstances should an organisation treat the exceptions as something it should do. An exception is a last resort". https://genderedintelligence.wordpress.com/2018/06/25/what-are-the-single-sex-exceptions-in-the-equality-act/

Gendered Intelligence, whose own signage you can download, print off, laminate and stick on toilet doors when you want to demonstrate a "higher standard of inclusivity" - saying "ALL GENDER TOILET - CONTAINS ALL STALLS" http://genderedintelligence.co.uk/professionals/resources/toilets
Gendered Intelligence: as in the organisation who published this blogpost about a week ago:
"We need to do away with the false dichotomy of ‘reversible’ and ‘irreversible’ when talking about young trans people and decision making." https://genderedintelligence.wordpress.com/category/trans-youth/

Gendered Intelligence: as in the organisation that ran the teaching event "Talking to Pupils about Gender" at the Hayward Gallery, described by an attendee in the blogpost in next tweet https://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whats-on/136873-teachers%E2%80%99-twilight-talking-pupils-about-gender-2019
Representative sample:
"I asked about the source of the statistic for “1 in 100” people being born intersex. Dex said he had no idea where that statistic had come from and that it would all be in the PDF pack that was going to be emailed out later." https://www.transgendertrend.com/gendered-intelligence-training-teachers-kiss-my-genders/

Gendered Intelligence: sponsors of this @Tate resource for teachers "I want to show you a body". Representative - demonstrably false - quote:
"There is an extremely high rate of suicide amongst transgender children in schools." (see next tweet)

Gendered Intelligence: authors of the "Trans Youth Sexual Health" booklet, containing memorable phrase
"A woman is still a woman, even if she enjoys getting blow
jobs." http://cdn0.genderedintelligence.co.uk/2012/11/17/17-14-04-GI-sexual-health-booklet.pdf

Gendered Intelligence, hosts of this twice-monthly trans swimming event for age groups 8-25:
"Wear what you want to swim, so long as your bottom half is covered."

In short: you could not get a more blatantly politicised, fact-negligent, safeguarding-careless trans activist organisation than Gendered Intelligence.
Calling what they offer "trans awareness training" is to stretch concepts of "awareness" (and "training") to breaking point.

Just wondering whether @UniversitiesUK are also going to invite @Womans_Place_UK or @ALLIANCELGB or @Transgendertrd or @marcusevanspsyc in to hear some alternative perspectives on the Equality Act, sexual orientation, child safeguarding, or irreversible surgery on young people?
I"m sure they'd do it for free, too.
