I'm a writer, although not of this type of stuff. I'm thinking however, as I write for the CPTSD Foundation which has a pretty good reach, I could do a piece on how unethical practice retraumatises survivors and get a bit in on Jess and some links? I'm sure Julian would be happy with a link, but I would want permission from the affected women before driving traffic to them.
Could do a longer (free) Medium piece too, with screenshots. I don't have a platform on there anymore sadly, but everyone could share it and drive engagement. Again, it has to depend on the women themselves. They may well not want anymore articles about it.
That's basically what her courses are now - just listening to her rant on for hours.
It would be laborious but I feel you've got a great vantage point as U honestly purchased her courses in good faith and have raised important issues with their privacy policies, issues which have wider implications on how we treat consumers seeking trauma support
I think that another piece which summarises the key points is an excellent idea. The more exposure this gets, the better. Using it as an example of unethical practice is a great idea although JT's particular pathology is what is really at play here, IMO.
I think there
There's 2 or 3 more articles to go, apparently, and they've only had 2 weddings, what else will they do to try and distract people?
It's so crass how Jess and Jaimi have been using their wedding pictures to try to distract from the articles. I have no doubt the timing is deliberate.

What if there was some type of open letter on there, calling on the BPS to act? Signed by survivors and professionals in the field.
That's a possibility although I'm unsure what BPS could do. At most, remove her membership which I think would have negligible effect.
Edited to add - an open letter to her publisher's might have more impact.

Jess was the first lesbian ever to not wear a dress to her wedding. No lesbian ever in history has chosen to wear a suit, tuxedo or trousers. Jess is a trailblazer.
Also no fat woman has ever married without first slimming down to a size 10. Jess was the first woman to not lose weight before her wedding.

Is the article saying the consent process for Carol was dodgy for WWBE or for Jessica's PhD - or both?
If it's the PhD, could it be worth telling the university about it?

Probably nothing, but it has the effect of alerting others to Jess Taylor and by having the backing of profs shows it isn't a personal attack, also shows wider issues of how toothless the BPS is and how easy it is for grifters like Jess to do what they do.
Alternatively, could aim it at the publishers. Books have been pulled and bits removed for much, much less, but you need there to be enough outrage before they will do it, because it costs them money.
It might be a far shot, but with a push, might be able to get RF and SA story removed.
I'm happy to use my real name on this and get as many writing contacts as I can to have a look. No one I know in the publishing world would be happy with this. It makes us all look like unethical hacks.
The wider ADHD and autism communities can't stand her either. It could get some traction.
As I said though would need permission from women involved. Nothing about them without them. @empowered1 could you help at all with this? Sorry if I've got that wrong, I forget who's posted what on here.
Ha just saw this bit. Great minds and all that
The BPS has shown itself to be pretty much toothless but, an open letter to her key target consumers/facilitators (e.g., research/training commissioners) could be impactful. An open letter to local authorities, police crime commissioners, police research ethics panels, education boards, CAMHS, women's support services, publishers etc...
I wondered whether her PhD could be re- scrutinised again even though she has graduated, if she did lie about having consent from participants - do you know @AccidentalAcademic or @judgejohndeed, or anyone else?
Anyone know if she's still doing the CAMHS thing? It's my local one, I was going to work on a complaint with some psychologists/therapists I know, but then she didn't mention it again and I haven't seen anything about it locally.
I wish my wife and I were as edgy and trail-blazery, we merely wore suits at our wedding, they weren't even white! We're so boring. Sigh.
The problem is it could be a total fabrication. I am aware of a series of tweets JT made about working closely with a police force area to uncover and combat systemic misogyny - all worded very dramatically. In reality, she had had two conversations with one officer (one call and one Zoom) - an officer with no commissioning power whatsoever.
She is so desperate for external validation that every minor thing in her life is presented in this way.
Queer women have been wearing alternatives to dresses for YEARS. She's nothing special, and she's not doing anything unique or "against the status quo". I think she thinks she's the only bleeping lesbian in the world at this point. Or the most "lesbian" of lesbians.
