I am so angry about this I can hardly see straight.

Anyway, even GRC holders do not legally have access to women's spaces, so it appears after a statement at Maya Forstater's recent hearing (Ann Sinnott of Authentic Equity Alliance intending to take crowd-funded action against the wrong guidance that does not reflect the Sex Equality Act 2010, being used by organisations). I used to work in al all-women charitable housing association for vulnerable women and heard some terrible stories. I bet this AGP gets off on them, and I bet he shares them with his pervy friends too.

The women who are enabling this outrage? They're as guilty as he. No, more so - he is obviously not well. I don't believe they have the same excuse to be complicit.

Weakness and wokeness are NO DEFENCE. Karen Davis, on Youtube, "You're Kiddin', Right?" has slammed into this vile man, pulling no punches. I note she has 3 times her typical video views in the shortest time on this.

I despair of men such as these and despair of the women who support them.

This is fucking disgusting.

As many of you know, in 2013 Vancouver Rape Relief was defunded by the city council for refusing to provide its services to TIMs. They survive on their own fundraising efforts now. I looked on their donations page and saw that several people are donating expressly because of their stance on trans issues. Maybe more women's charities should take the risk and go it alone.

What can be done? Is there any body or authority that can be appealed to? I’m totally sick of this shit. Vulnerable women and victims of sexual violence deserve more!

This is exactly the same as Rachel Dolezal. Here is an excerpt from an interview she gave. I would love to know how it differs from the claims made by Mridul Wadhwa:

In the living room of her modest house in Spokane – still sporting the hair and skin tone, her “glow”, as she puts it, that so infuriated her critics – she weeps at what she regards as the injustice of the collective judgment against her. But Dolezal is not apologising for anything. She denies she lied to anyone. If people were confused, she says, it was because they didn’t ask the right questions. Above all, she remains firmly wedded to her insistence that she is black.

“For me, how I feel is more powerful than how I was born. I mean that not in the sense of having some easy way out. This has been a lifelong journey. This is not something that I cash in, cash out, change up, do at a convenience level or to freak people out or to make people happy,” she says. “If somebody asked me how I identify, I identify as black. Nothing about whiteness describes who I am.”

I read somewhere that Wadhwa’s research interest is in whether women orgasm during rape. Can’t find it now & don’t remember where. Can anyone confirm or refute?

Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre - 'trans & BME women', as if they're just describing different kinds of women, like blonde, or athletic, or studious.

The construction of that sentence is very revealing. If they said 'all women including BME & trans women' they feared it would show a sliding scale of validity, with BME women ahead of the men.

they need a legal challenge and the women who appointed him need suing and sacking

I believe transgender people have the same right as anyone else to gainful employment, but there are certain jobs and positions where SEX matters and gender identity does not. Working in a rape crisis center with vulnerable women who've been assaulted by MEN is one such job.

Can't the billionaires funding this movement just create shelters and crisis centres for trans people? Safety should be more important than affirmation.

Call me cynical (or Loretta 😁) but I can well imagine that the uber-woke who make these decisions will never have to encounter these TIMs whilst vulnerable.

Wadhwa is a perfect example of the unrehabilitatable Evil that warrants capital punishment.

More sickening than his blatant predation, though, is the notion that society, especially women!, would sit idly by and permit this to occur while pretending it's moral.

I am ever more deeply invested in confronting those responsible and demanding that they publicly justify their endorsements of Evil.

Another charity suffering an identity crisis. What does gender based violence actually mean given there seem to be 100 plus genders. If a trans women is misgendered in a loo, which is apparently verbal violence, can they seek support from the Edinburg rape crisis centre given they have ‘suffered’ gender based violence?

I don’t think ERCC have deleted the announcement tweet. https://twitter.com/edinrapecrisis/status/1389562003904159746?s=21
