Can I urgently raise something for any readers in Wales - the Welsh government is running a consultation on its Electoral Candidates Lists Bill which closes this Friday at 4pm.
Under the guise of ensuring gender equality in the Senedd, the Bill contains the following (capitals are mine):
"At least half of the candidates on a political party’s list must be women. ...
Where a candidate on the list is not a woman, the next candidate on a political party’s list must be a woman. ...
Women must be placed first on at least half of a political party’s candidate lists. ...
All candidates on a political party’s list would be required to STATE EITHER WHETHER THEY ARE, OR ARE NOT, A WOMAN. "
Like the SNP's attempt with Gender Representation on Public Boards, this is an attempt to put self id into law and to conflate gender identity and sex. It does nothing for equal representation in the Sennedd - quite the reverse as a Sennedd could be 100% male provided at least 50% of Members "stated" they were women.
Please, please can as many as possible complete this. You don't have to answer every question so it needn't take you long. You can request your responses remain anonymous.
Though this move is certain to be ultimately defeated in law as the Welsh government is acting outside its devolved powers, we don't want the possibility of years of taking it to court, not to mention the £100,000s required to fight it, and whilst it is used to further entrench self id.
Welsh Labour need to be sent a message that the Welsh people object to this dismantling of women's rights.
Thanks for your hard work as always, JL, bringing us these shocking stories.
My wife and I and two friends were at LWS on Saturday and, despite the police allowing the bawling nutters with their insulting signs, to surround us, it was a great event . The Scottish Act is a clear breach of the Human Rights Act and seems unworkable. All you can do is repeal it in my opinion. I have reported on the event including with some photos here:
These trans laws are the product of a cynical programme to introduce the most draconian censorship which will have nothing to do with “gender assignment” or any of the other nonsensical chimeras of the “trans” discourse. Although there are no doubt vast legions of vulnerable deluded young people whipped up into hysteria on the one hand and legions of dangerous predatory males on the other, the whole operation is a theatre to install a fascistic dictatorship.
Although all of this could only work if this culture already despised women. In a culture that actually respects women and girls there's NO WAY it would have got this far. It's a testament to how feminism has been co-opted by powerful forces to serve elite males at the top.
"Powerful forces" have not "coopted feminism": maybe only some third wave "LibFems" who aren't really feminist at all.
"Fourth Wave" feminists, as successors of "Second wave" feminists of the 1970s (including me), specifically resist the regressive trans cult and lucrative body dissociation industry, and the attempt to erase women as a sex class by calling us "menstruators" "cervix-havers" "chestfeeders and "birthing people", invading our spaces, sports, job quotas etc -- while "Trans Women Are Women", the new inclusive class.
Have a look at 4W, Reduxx, Sex Matters, the Women's Declaration International, the Green Women's Declaration, Green Feminists UK, the Women's Rights Network, For Women Scotland, Fair Play for Women, the11thHourBlog.com, and all the feminist authors, movers and shakers -- JK Rowling, Kellie-Jay Keen, Kathleen Stock, Jennifer Bilek, Eliza Mondegreen, Genevieve Gluck, Helen Joyce, Maya Forstater, Naomi Cunningham, Joanne Cherry, Abigail Shrier, Allison Bailley, Sally Grover, Rosie Duffield, Miriam Cates, Lisa Selin Davies, our own JL and many more.
That was my reaction last week. I'll give this week a FFFS. Can't wait 'til our reactions are toned down to FS... evidently much work still to be done 'til we get to that level. As ever thanks JL.
Wow! HUGE amount of work gone into this blog. Thank you!
This truly EVIL man should have been given the death sentence! His words are taken from the blog:
"“I catch your daughters in them bathrooms alone, I am gonna fuck them. I mean I am gonna fuck them until they're dead… I’m in the bathroom feeling your little girls’ pussies. I love feeling on your little girls’ pussies. You can’t do nothing about it. I don’t care. I’m openly a paedophile. You guys can’t do nothing about us. You can cry. Put me on national television, I don’t care. I’m transgender, I’m in the bathroom raping your fucking daughters and I’m openly letting you guys know this… We will fuck your daughters in that bathroom, I guarantee it.”
Such evil humans have no right to life. None at all.
I am sick to death of the way this sinister cult is being allowed to grow and grow. Every teacher/union leader/judge/police officers/etc complicit in this HELLISH HORROR must be arrested, charged, go to trial...and be sent to prisons, globally, for decades!
We should really be grateful for this evil bastard expressing the true feelings of predatory sex offenders gifted access to women's single sex spaces, as vanishingly few of them will be so honest and upfront about their true feelings and motives.
This memorable speech needs MAXIMUM PUBLICITY on every social media platform, sent to every newspaper (though few will print it) and emblazoned on LARGE banners for Let Women Speak meetings and gender critical demos.
I might even send it to my MP, Lloyd Russell-Moyle: together with some ONS stats (though I need to check them first):
99% of sex offenders are male
88% of victims are female
Male pattern sex offending does not change with transition
2% of male prisoners are convicted sex offenders
50% of trans-identified male prisoners are convicted sex offenders
Thanks once again ,JL, for highlighting the insanity that's still gripping the world in spite of the ever increasing evidence of the harm it's causing to so many people ,especially to women and children. EVERY single person who is complying with , or enabling , this horrific anti human ideology should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves and they can no longer make excuses for themselves on the grounds that they " didn't know "!! The evidence is now overwhelming and the and ,more importantly ,out in the open where we can all see it. It's despicable !! As for the Scottish Government's hate crime bill ,I ,for one , won't "wheesht"!! They can shove it (straight into the nearest bin). Thanks ,JL 👍👏❤️
As Grahame said in his talk in Auckland last month, the 'Guilty' in The Guilty Feminist is now the operative word. How shameful that they hosted that cretinous con man running Edinburgh Rape Crisis as a re-education centre for raped women who DARE to request female-only counselling. If he conned his way into the role without a GRC, can't he be legally removed?
hi Petal, i was a bit high post run when i commented and i deleted it after fearing i sounded like a nobhead. I often have post comment ‘oh i sound like a nobhead syndrome’ There’s enough nobheads out there talking shit without me joining in. Not here- i just mean in the internet as a whole.
ok thanks Petal, sorry the SNP are such corrupt wankers. you all deserve better. So do we here. I’m not voting this time. Sad times. You know he got a lot of shit but i liked gordon brown. No idea where he stands on gender. But he was serious and committed i thought.
You have a subscription to alba Petal? my little sister had a small tape player in her room made by alba. Probably not the same organisation. Have a nice evening. See you for the good news!
I just signed an Alba petition to repeal the new Hate Crime Act -- gave a fictitious phone no. (required info) & too bad my address is the Sussex coast. Someone else had tried an English postcode & it wasn't rejected: so worth a try.
URGENT CALL FOR ACTION

Can non residents of Wales fill it in? If yes, then I’ll do it.
Typically for our government they omit to tell you this!
BUT I've just tried using my old English postcode and it hasn't kicked me out so I think the answer is Yes.
Thanks.
WRN say you can fill it in even if you are not in Wales. I will put this in my update tonight 😊
Dusty
Thank you Dusty!
Another fun filled week of its shite being Scottish
Yeah, but it's also the country which produced Billy Connolly, cranachan and Franz Ferdinand and its home to JK Rowling so it's not all bad!
Oo cranachan me and little petal might do that next time
One of my favourite things ever! I could eat it by the bucketful!
Shopping list ;
Raspberries
Oats
Cream
Great big bucket
Don't forget the wee dram! (And don't think I couldn't honestly eat a bucketful!! 🤣)
Petals not allowed big peoples juice 🤣🤣
Thanks for your hard work as always, JL, bringing us these shocking stories.

Glad you didn't get blown away on Saturday, Dusty!

And you didn’t even need yer big coat or your brolly !
I tried to watch it on YouTube but the sound was poor thanks to the wind
Hi Petal
Yes I could be the billboard with my Thought Criminal T shirt 😀
It was extremely windy!!
Dusty
Loved the hate monster scootering , asking hapless if he was coming out to play but his maw said he was grounded 🤣

FFS is all I’ve got JL but thanks for all you do.
Thanks, TT. Your words are much appreciated.
That was my reaction last week. I'll give this week a FFFS. Can't wait 'til our reactions are toned down to FS... evidently much work still to be done 'til we get to that level. As ever thanks JL.

if it's a charity, the Trustees control it- but if they are captured too.... :-(

Hope it works , tried on previous thread but it got lost
Cb if you’re out there I tried to reply but your post has vamooshed !?
hi Petal, i was a bit high post run when i commented and i deleted it after fearing i sounded like a nobhead. I often have post comment ‘oh i sound like a nobhead syndrome’ There’s enough nobheads out there talking shit without me joining in. Not here- i just mean in the internet as a whole.
Ach we all sound like knobheads as opposed to the totally sane trans Fannie’s
Continue with your knobhead posts I’ve yet to receive a chap at the door
Regarding your post you can have the campervan ( wherever the fuck it is now )
I’ll have the expenses card so I can have the fancy pens , cookware and yoga lessons
As for our resources we’ve been sold down the swannie , not even to the highest price !
ok thanks Petal, sorry the SNP are such corrupt wankers. you all deserve better. So do we here. I’m not voting this time. Sad times. You know he got a lot of shit but i liked gordon brown. No idea where he stands on gender. But he was serious and committed i thought.
I’m politically homeless . I’m an alba founder member but have no faith ( can’t fucking figure out how to cancel my membership )
I don’t know if I’m left or right but I know I’m not wrong in knowing what a woman or a pervert is
O I’m shutting up now
You have a subscription to alba Petal? my little sister had a small tape player in her room made by alba. Probably not the same organisation. Have a nice evening. See you for the good news!
Alba the supposedly independence party cb
However I lost faith when reagen jumped ship , she signed the the hca
Because I pay by c/c it’s hard to cancel it
I just signed an Alba petition to repeal the new Hate Crime Act -- gave a fictitious phone no. (required info) & too bad my address is the Sussex coast. Someone else had tried an English postcode & it wasn't rejected: so worth a try.
plus you could sing …. Gordon Brown, texture like sun…. all good fun.
Cb trust me I can’t sing !!!
I’ve heard Humza has been reported en mass for his racist speech in parliament. It’s backfiring for him and his party straight away.
Omg and he’s not vite https://twitter.com/ginadavidsonlbc/status/1778754475626266740
