I'm sure it will happen in disability communities too before very long. What with all the people "identifying" as having a vast assortment of disabilities that they have diagnose themselves as having.
A great piece thank you Simon. Amazed and delighted yesterday that GB News were filming outside Allison Bailey tribunal (instead of the BBC though ? Didn’t see them there - where on earth are they?) GB News reporter looked so professional I was really impressed.
Allison suing Stonewall and her employer is extraordinary. Even more extraordinary though is where on earth are the main TV channels when this *massive* story is playing out? Thousands of people are organising their work lives around twitter tribunal tweets / does the BBC know?
"Christine' Burns, heterosexual male who identifies as Deirdre Barlow, has a LOT to answer for, in the form of the outfit Press For Change. Burns is responsible, in part, for the Gender Recognition Act's existence. Long before Stonewall became all TWAW.
"What's most interesting here is that PfC draw the transgender umbrella very wide:
In the broadest use of the term, a transgender person crosses the conventional boundaries of gender; in clothing; in presenting themselves; even as far as having multiple surgical procedures to be fully bodily reassigned in their preferred gender role.
In this report we will normally use the term 'trans people' to describe those people who might be described as falling broadly within this context, as it has become the term of normal use since the coining of it by Press for Change for their 1996 mission statement: "Seeking respect and equality for ALL trans people"[2]. People who identify as transsexual are a small part of this spectrum and may or may not have had medical treatment to alter their physical appearance.

I wonder if Linda regrets not thinking of a Lesbian Awareness Month.
Perhaps the disobedient & difficult 'female partners only' lesbians will wish Linda atb with her creation, and set up their own Awareness Month. Ditto women and IWD.
Well, the most active and successful protest groups against the suffrage movement were comprised of women. Same with those fighting against the ERA, Phyllis Schlaffley and her followers.
That’s why it shouldn’t come as a surprise when so many on TWAW!!! bandwagon are women. It’s always been like that.
I posted Simons great piece on GETTR, it was thorough and opened eyes to the connivance that is going on. Many untruths, and disguises were revealed, with the usual suspects lurking in the background.
People overlook that information can be found, if you want to look for it, they can’t be shocked when it’s thrown at their feet.
There has been a similar division in the deaf sector where the organisations who support Deaf (people born deaf or who lost their hearing when very young) people who use BSL are part of "the church of Deaf" and have more right to campaign than organisations that support deaf people, those who are Deafened or Hard of Hearing. Then throw Deafblind people into the mix and there can be all out war!! Organisations need to understand they do nobody any favours by causing division and all that happens is the public sector loses the plot as it has with the trans arguments. People who are not BSL users do not get accessible or inclusive services because all the energy and money is going into Deaf BSL services for a minority of people who were ignored for years but there is a need for balance and equality in the same way that there is a need for checks and balances when it comes to trans rights.
"Pretending dissent doesn't exist, except when it's useful to have an enemy, is a familiar Stalinist tactic." I understand you are referencing Orwell, but since pretending dissent doesn't exist seems quite popular in the U.S., U.K., and the other three of the Five Eyes, I'm not sure they would appreciate being referred to as Stalinist.
Edgy on form

Ignorant perhaps, but can’t be the only one - who is the woman in specs?
