I'm having a drink.

Hope yis are having a good Friday! I’d hoped this was a scoop but I think it’s ready out there.

NEVERTHELESS, IT’S A DOOZY

(I’m thinking of using JANE DOE as a one-size-fits-all moniker. I think seeing it over and over again might press home the fact that SO MANY WOMEN at the moment feel the need to be anonymous.)

Dear Graham,

I’m a new follower. Thank you so much for your work, and the platform you provide to GC advocates. It’s been a sanity saver.

I just came upon this info on a GC Facebook group. Not sure if you’re on there. (Ed’s note: I am, but I’ve been banned for seven days)

A person posted this screenshot, saying this:

"Ok, so I've had this under my hat for a couple of weeks now, posting this with my alt in case it is screenshot and shared elsewhere. Will also cross-post to Gender Critical Women.

So remember when Standing For Women paid for the 'I love JK Rowling' poster in Edinburgh Waverley, and it was taken down after 'complaints'? Well, I decided to do an FOI request to Network Rail to find out exactly how many complaints they received. They left me hanging until the very last day of the deadline, I'm sure they knew why I wanted the information so likely dragged it out.

Would you like to know how many official complaints Network Rail received regarding the poster? Zero. None. Zilch. No complaints. However, they did receive 158 complaints about the removal of the poster. Yes, you read that correctly.

So they lied. They lied about receiving complaints and just took it down for no genuine reason. I've attached some screenshots of the articles and my FOI response with redacted personal information. 

yours,

JANE DOE

Network Rail have some questions to answer.

Finally worked up the courage to watch this, and I’m glad I did

Well, what can I say.

The State, whoever you are, thank you.

Some people literally think women = clothes & make-up

(Update: being told Eli is a spoof in which case it’s a VERY good one.)

In Australia, it is now illegal to hurt white men’s feelings

An Australian newsreader has been fined $10,000 for liking Facebook posts calling former soldier and Guardian writer, Bridget Clinch, who now identifies as a woman, a 'male bully', after Bridget was accused of intimidating women who say transwomen are men

abc.net.au‘Once she was aware of the comments and did not remove them, she is responsible for them’A dispute over a Facebook post by radio newsreader Beth Rep was meant to end with an apology to transgender activist Bridget Clinch. Instead, the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal found the post and comments were “rude, offensive and unacceptable” and awarded Ms Clinch $10,000 in compensation.

Or to put it another way…

Isn’t it interesting how some women who take things to the authorities get mocked as a Karen and some women win financial compensation and lots of applause. Wonder what the difference is?

If, like me, you're always looking for material with which to peak-trans everyone you know, you need look no further than this: an article dedicated to teaching lesbians how to suck dick, replete with plenty of repulsive "it's just like a clit" moments🤮 vice.com/en_us/article/…

But I thought the colour coding was the very straitjacket which was being discarded and trashed? https://t.co/kv1yTp8sff

I'm sorry but checking what colour wristband someone is wearing before referring to them, to ensure you speak about them using their preferred pronouns of the day is ridiculous. I cannot believe schools are complying with this guff. #GenderWooWoo https://t.co/dg8RXrXM5g

And finally…

My favourite ever “What happens next?” It is literally IMPOSSIBLE to guess.
