A Week in the War on Women: Monday 2nd August - Sunday 8th August
Monday 2nd July - Auntie Beeb Turns Into Big Brother
BBC Sport published an article about trans-identified male, Laurel Hubbard, who stole a place on the New Zealand women’s weightlifting team.
There was no effort to report objectively on the fairness and safety issues around males competing in women’s sport and Hubbard’s inclusion was presented as positive and progressive.
A sycophantic and heavily edited biography does not mention that Hubbard is the son of a millionaire politician or that he was charged with careless driving after he caused a serious car crash which he tried to hush up.
Not surprisingly, Twitter users were angered by the article’s bias and protested the unfairness of Hubbard competing on a women’s team. So BBC Sport issued another tweet, describing the responses as ‘hate’ and threatening to report ‘the most serious cases to the relevant authorities’.
In short, the BBC tried to intimidate women into silence, preventing them from expressing their lawful opinions, while it cheered on the erasure of women’s sport. Think about this—with misgendering a bannable offence on Twitter--what did was the BBC warning women about exactly?
The BBC could do with a reminder that its charter requires it to observe the Broadcasting Code impartiality regulations. And, according to its own editorial guidelines, “The BBC is committed to achieving due impartiality in all its output”.
If you’d like to make a complaint to the BBC, you can do so here.
Incidentally, despite the strongarm tactics in his support, the BBC didn’t actually broadcast live coverage of Hubbard’s event. Funny that.

Telegraph sports writer, Oliver Brown, drew our attention to this “Guide for Journalists Covering LGBTQ Athletes & Issues at the Summer Olympics and Paralympics”. It had been left on the desks of all the correspondents attending Laurel Hubbard’s weightlifting event.
One of the phrases journalists were instructed to avoid is 'Born male/born female’. Furthermore, feminist campaign group, Fair Play For Women, was listed in the 'media misinformation' section, described as an “Organisation formed with the express purpose of fighting against transgender equality”.
We can’t have journalists reporting the truth, investigating facts or listening to women’s voices, can we?

DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA: A petition asking the IOC to reconsider its rules allowing trans-identified males to compete in women’s sport was labelled ‘hate speech’ and cancelled just ahead of Hubbard’s Olympic appearance.
More than 30,000 people signed this petition. As it gained traction, Change.org removed it from their site and flagged it as ‘hate speech’.
Tuesday 3rd July - Women Don’t Matter #1
THE TELEGRAPH: NHS Trusts issued guidelines that allow intact males to be accommodated on female wards, even if they are convicted sex offenders.
NHS England, a member of Stonewall’s ‘diversity champion’ scheme, instructed hospitals to accommodate patients “According to their presentation: the way they dress, and the name and pronouns they currently use”. There is no requirement for a patient to have had or be undergoing gender reassignment treatment in order to be accommodated on a ward designated for the opposite sex.
Consequently, individual NHS Trusts, many under Stonewall’s influence, developed policies which, medics and campaigners warn, have created an unsafe environment and distort the law. Some trusts (one of them being Nottinghamshire) have even decided that a criminal history is not necessarily a bar to placing a trans-identified male on female wards.
Female patients objecting to males in their hospital accommodation have been treated appallingly; they have been accused of hate crimes, placed in seclusion and even threatened with having their treatment withdrawn.
Medical staff are frightened to voice their safeguarding concerns, fearing they might lose their job or even risk being charged with a criminal offence. One nurse told The Telegraph, “The public believe that we have single-sex spaces for our most vulnerable, our mothers, our grandmothers, but it is simply not true.”
Writing in The Daily Mail, Baroness Nicholson described how she formed an all-party campaign group to examine the impact of these policies which effectively erase single-sex hospital accommodation.
“The examples we have received are legion. In hundreds of emails and hours of personal testimony, we have heard cases ranging from dementia patients distressed at waking up next to someone who, in their mind, looks like a man, to reports of a rape on a psychiatric unit undertaken by a biological male who identified as a woman.”
Wednesday 4th August - These Are Not Our Crimes
THE POST MILLENNIAL: Chris Chan, arrested for incest, is recorded by police authorities as female.
39-year-old Christian Chandler, more commonly known as Chris Chan, is a YouTube personality and creator of the Sonicho and Rosechu web comic series. He has been an infamous presence on the internet and his disturbing and frequently sexually predatory behaviour has been well documented.
Around 2014 Chan began identifying as trans and calling himself Christine. He has referred to himself as a ‘tomgirl’ and a ‘goddess’ and described his intention of “Getting more girls as a lesbian”.
According to news reports, Chan has a previous criminal record; in 2015 he was given a suspended prison sentence after assaulting a GameStop employee.
This week Chan was arrested on incest charges. This followed the leaking of a phone call in which a man thought to be Chan admitted to raping his elderly mother. Chan’s mother is 80 years old and suffers with dementia.
When the police booking information was released to the public, it was revealed that Chan, an intact male arrested for sex offences, has been recorded as a female.
Thursday 5th August - Women Don’t Matter #2
THE POST MILLENNIAL: Reports from inside a California prison suggest that a female inmate is pregnant following the transfer of a male felon to her facility.
We have written previously about Californian legislation which accommodates prison inmates based not on their sex but on their self-declared gender identity and the hundreds of male prisoners now queuing up for transfers to the female estate.
Last month we reported that prison authorities have accepted female inmates will be raped and assaulted and are preparing for the consequences. Condoms and the ‘morning after’ pill are being made available and women are being advised about the abortion and adoption options available should they be impregnated.
It looks like the unthinkable is already happening. Women's Liberation Front have heard from seven different people inside the Central California Women's Facility that at least one female inmate there has been impregnated by a male felon recently transferred to the facility.
Friday 6th August - The Clocks Were Striking Thirteen In Falkirk
THE TIMES: A Scottish man convicted of abusing his female partner was denied vital help because his partner identifies as ‘non-gender’.
A man who attacked his female partner was recommended for the Caledonian Programme, a scheme run by social justice organisation, Sacro, which helps to rehabilitate male offenders convicted of domestic abuse.
The scheme is aimed specifically at heterosexual relationships in which a male is abusive to a woman. Because this man’s partner, though female, ‘identifies’ as non-binary, the man was refused a place on the programme.
Yet another example of how the uncritical application of gender ideology harms women. A female victim of male violence remains in danger and, whatever her preferred pronouns, she cannot identify out of it.
Saturday 7th August - A “No Thank You” Week
THE SCOTSMAN: Susan Dalgety reported on a tough news week for women.
Lauren Hubbard crashed out of the Olympics, having stolen a once in a lifetime opportunity from a woman. “Her grin as she left the podium suggests she regarded her appearance as victory enough.”
BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour included an item about age-appropriate pornography for teenagers. “Our girls are persuaded by pornography that sexual violence and aggression are the norm. She feels she has to endure, even pretend to enjoy, choking, slapping and humiliation. So what. She belongs to the subclass.”
The Lancet Healthy Longevity Journal reported that women over 65 are financially poorer and more socially isolated than men in the same age group. “Ageing societies reinforce the prevailing gender norms in which men continue to be allocated the majority of opportunities, resources and social support.”
A study in the BMJ Global Health Journal showed that sex-selective abortion, the terminating of a healthy female foetus, is still a growing trend. China and India already have skewed sex ratios of births, with Pakistan, Nigeria and other sub-Saharan countries expected to catch up in the coming years.
“Little wonder that women the world over are angry. Our very right to exist is under attack. Rich societies, including Scotland it seems, have decided that the simplest way to assuage the feelings of men who want to be women, is to pretend that binary sex is meaningless. That women are simply ‘non-trans women’ or ‘cis’. We have become a subclass.
Politicians, eager to prove their diversity credentials, have fallen over themselves in the rush to de-sex everything, from data collection to safe spaces. But by falling for the “gender not sex” mythology, they risk perpetuating the biggest myth of all, that women and girls are worthless.”
Sunday 8th August - A Tale Of Two Exits
This week, two former members of The Green Party have written about the party’s unshakable devotion to the gender cult which caused them to resign.
Andy Wightman was the MSP for Lothian. He resigned from the Scottish Green Party in December over the party’s dogged adherence to gender identity ideology. Despite having agreed not to comment further on his resignation, Wightman now feels forced to do so as ‘significant misinformation’ is being circulated by party members and officials.
He describes the bullying tactics of the SGP in his blog; those who challenge the rhetoric of gender ideology or seek to discuss women’s rights are smeared and silenced.
“I have never understood why one has to subscribe to queer theory and gender identity theory in order to improve the lives of trans people. But that’s the bar that has been set in the SGP. To conclude, I resigned because I could no longer work in such an environment.”
Andrea Carey-Fuller resigned from her position on the Green Party Regional Council and left the Green Party in May 2021. In her blog this week she explains her reasons for doing so. She describes the bullying and harassment she experienced from party members and details the attempts made to silence and discredit her because of her defence of women’s sex-based rights.
“Until I stood in the General Election in 2019, I had no idea of the toxicity bubbling underneath the Green Party regarding Trans Rights Activists (TRA's) viewing anyone who stands up for women's rights as being 'Transphobic'…
As a GPRC rep I saw how the complaints system was being abused to continually suspend 'Gender Critical members’… By wrongly repeating 'Trans Activist' rhetoric and mantras about women's rights being transphobic they continue to fuel division, and incite toxicity within our party - making it an unhealthy place for any member who dares to support women's rights.”
It’s clearly no party for non-women.
See you next week.
This Telegraph article is terrifying. Men can make women feel uncomfortable in all sorts of ways without touching them or masturbating in front of them. Women in hospital often wear nighties, and may be asleep more than usual. I hope I don’t have to go to hospital.
Jesus, what a crap week it's been
