A Week in the War on Women: Monday 21st September - Sunday 27th September

Monday 21st September - Women Aren’t Allowed Anything Of Our Own
WOMEN ARE HUMAN: A trans-identified male has won three gold medals in women’s running events.
Between 2016 an 2018 Valentina Petrillo won 11 men’s national titles. Now, at the age of 46, he ‘identifies as a woman’ and has started hormone treatment.
Petrillo is now competing in female athletics where, unsurprisingly, he’s cleaning up.
A few weeks ago Petrillo won gold medals in the women’s 100, 200 and 400 metre events at the Italian Paralympic Athletic Championships.
Now Petrillo (pictured) is hoping to compete in the forthcoming Tokyo Paralympics. In the women’s events, of course.
If you would like to help protect women’s sports, then please sign this petition to the IOC and, if you’re able, you can shop at or donate to Save Women’s Sports.
Tuesday 22nd September - Everything is Transphobic in the Lib Dems
The Liberal Democrats have adopted a definition of ‘transphobia’ which demands belief in gender ideology and could see dissenters facing disciplinary measures.
The new policy has “Drawn on the work done by organisations such as Stonewall and TransActual UK” because of course it has.
In addition to a long list of crimes, the edict forbids any language that “eradicates the trans person’s gender identity in favour of their biology at birth”. So if an intact male ‘identifies’ as a woman, it will be transphobic to refer to him as male, even if he has not undergone any surgery or hormone treatment. More importantly, it will be deemed ‘transphobic’ to prevent him from entering women’s spaces.
Any woman within the Liberal Democrats wanting to discuss their sex-based rights could be censured by the party for ‘transphobia’.
But then we shouldn’t be surprised; Lib Dem leader, Ed Davey, believes intact males should be allowed in women’s prison and bathrooms.
Wednesday 23rd September - Labour Don’t Seem Much Better
Labour MP, Stella Creasey, asked the women of Twitter to share their experiences of misogyny.
So women shared their experiences of misogyny.
However, only certain experiences were deemed acceptable; anything even vaguely gender critical was The Wrong experience and NOT ALLOWED.
When Stella accidentally retweeted a woman expressing these sentiments…
…She immediately had to apologise.
She not only undid her retweet but she actually blocked the account. (By the way, Stella, nobody is denying anyone’s existence; we just know that males don’t need protecting from misogyny - because men are not women.)
And she continued to block women daring to express The Wrong opinions.
She then asked Kat Young to ‘help counter’ the women expressing The Wrong experiences of misogyny.
That’s non-binary Kat Young with ‘they / them’ pronouns.
And this was the Labour Party’s response to the government’s dropping of plans to reform the GRA.
With Labour intent on legistlating self-ID, which is already proving a disaster in Ireland and Canada, left wing women in the UK find themselves in where the only mainstream party supporting their human rights are the Conservatives. What a world.
Thursday 24th September - But wait! Some Tories still hate women!
Conservative MP for Reigate, Crispin Blunt, called for Liz Truss to be sacked from her role as Minister for Women and Equalities.
In 2010 Blunt separated from his wife of 20 years in order to “Come to terms with his homosexuality” and he is currently the Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Global LGBT+ Rights.
During the Urgent Question Debate in the House of Commons Blunt spoke at length about the anger and disappointment of trans people and about “Their fundamental rights being snatched away”. Just what ‘fundamental rights’ are being snatched away, Crispin? Because trans people have exactly the same rights as everyone else.
He did not mention women’s fundamental rights, of course, which are in danger of disappearing, if people like Blunt have anything to do with it
Friday 25th September - But There’s No Problem With Self ID in Ireland
At the beginning of the week The Herald and The Irish Independent reported on a dangerous teenager about to be released into the community.
The 18-year-old, described by the Gardaí as “homicidal”, has previously been subject to criminal charges, including charges of sexually assaulting and threatening women, and has repeatedly expressed a desire to rape and murder women.
Both papers refer to the teenager as female and use she / her pronouns throughout.
However, this '“homicidal” teenager is male.
Information publicly available states that the individual, referred to as “G”, is male. But because he now ‘identifies as female’, the media has to lie to the public.
As a child, “G” violently attacked his own mother and still talks openly about killing her. When he was 17, he attacked a care worker driving a car in which he was a passenger. He gouged her eyes with his nails, bit her and pulled out clumps of her hair.
On Saturday The Irish Independent reported on “G” using the name he has adopted for himself, Barbie Kardashian. He had been remanded in custody charged with four counts of making threats to kill or cause serious harm.
Despite not having undergone any surgery or hormone treatment, “Barbie” has a gender recognition certificate which his solicitor, Michèle Finan, asked to be submitted to the court. Finan told the court that “Barbie” is "Very anxious she be detained in a prison facility for females, as she identifies as a female" and added that her client would be "exceptionally vulnerable in a prison setting". Judge Mary Larkin said she couldn’t make any recommendation, this being "a matter for the prison authorities".
There is every possibility that this violent and dangerous 18-year-old man is going to be housed in a female prison.
Saturday 26th September - We Don’t Need Woke Education
THE SPECTATOR: Let’s kick gender identity out of schools.
Following Liz Truss’ announcement that the government is to scrap it self ID, the Department for Education is now issuing guidelines to help school leaders plan and implement the new statutory Relationships, Sex and Health curriculum.
As Debbie Hayton explains, this will weaken the influence of lobby groups such as Mermaids and Gendered Intelligence on state education. However, the ideological indoctrination of many schools is so complete that much damage has already been done.
“As a science teacher, I know that the advice taken on board by some schools has been woeful… Barbie and GI Joe need to be shown the door, and they should take gender identity with them. Its definition is underpinned by sexist stereotypes: dress, speech, and mannerisms. Children must not be taught that their bodies might be wrong and in need of changing. It's a pity that this even needs to be said.”
Sunday 27th September - Finally Some Good News
THE SUNDAY TIMES: Luminaries from the arts and entertainment world (Ed—I’m a luminary!) have signed a letter supporting JK Rowling and condemning the attacks on her.
“WE STAND WITH JK AGAINST HATE
JK Rowling has been subjected to an onslaught of abuse that highlights an insidious, authoritarian and misogynistic trend in social media.
Rowling has consistently shown herself to be an honourable and compassionate person, and the appalling hashtag #RIPJKRowling is just the latest example of hate speech directed against her and other women that Twitter and other platforms enable and implicitly endorse.
We are signing this letter in the hope that, if more people stand up against the targeting of women online, we might at least make it less acceptable to engage in it or profit from it.”
We wish JK Rowling well and stand in solidarity with her.”
The organisers are currently collecting a second round of names so if you know anyone from the entertainment world who wants to stand up for someone who has been betrayed in the most despicable fashion by others in her industry, tell them to contact the letter’s co-author, Stella O’Malley, or Jane Harris at her Facebook page.
See you next week.
Accurate collection by JL. Very nice indeed. Shows how terribly pathetic each week in our lives is becoming.
Males entering Women prisons, sports rightfully ofcourse. Labour gone beyond woke (nasty), no redemption there, Blue tick accounts including MP gone mad and behaving in bizarre weird manner, pandering of woke to this level is sickening. And all in all, twitter still has counter set on JK ROWLING'S tweets to set limit for likes and also banning anyone who says man male bodied person cannot be Woman female bodied person.
To top it, this week is turning more nastier by the minute.
Thank You Graham Linehan and team to keep this page going. It's some ray of hope and sunshine from all the distress and absurd madness
Once you’ve seen the utter contempt for women in trans ideology and (almost more so) in its woke, mostly male supporters, you cannot unsee it. And it’s really bad for my blood pressure. 😬
Did that Valentina Paralympic medal-winner also *identify* as disabled to compete? It’s exactly the same "logic" as allows male bodies to compete against female ones so surely anything goes? 🤷♀️ I’ve a feeling the IOC wouldn’t approve though, even though they don’t object to transwomen athletes having ... how many times more? - nanomoles of testosterone than born women... ( there goes my BP spiking again)
Crispin Blunt is an arse....and I do believe the Barbie Kardashian psycho has indeed been sent to a women’s prison. 🤬
But SOME positive news this week 🥳 Great that more high profile people are coming out in support of JKR (at last ... took recent developments though)
Thank you as ever JL, admirable work 👍
