The degree of institutional capture within British universities is absolutely terrifying, isn't it?
I recall that awful Dan Orr guy rebranding IWD "International Womxn's Day" at the Uni of Leicester after he inveigled his way into the role of Women's Officer being horrifying enough, but Oxford, too? Oxford is aware that attacks against women have increased 15-fold in the past year, yet are still busily giving away our legal right to our own sex specific spaces? I dread to think how much recorded voyeurism has been going on there, honestly.
My blood is boiling that a smugly grinning bloke with 5 o'clock shadow is now Oxford's women's officer. No doubt voted in and cheered on by a host of gullible young women who have no idea what they're giving away.
Yes, JL. I know this isn't really the point, but the fact remains that the guy in question clearly appears to be just another slightly "alternative"-looking young heterosexual man without some overt gender identity issues. In other words, probably just an opportunistic sleaze. It's incredibly maddening.
You're absolutely right. I found other photos of him online & in all of them he's looking like the cat who the cream. The lads I knew in my youth could teach him a thing or two about being genuinely alternative & non-conforming!
I know this has been said many, many times before, but the way in which girls are being groomed by liberal/intersectional "feminism" to always subjugate themselves and centre men in any allegedly progressive "activism", indeed in life in general is profoundly disappointing and distressing. It's almost enough to make me abandon all hope for women going forward.
Oh please don't abandon hope. It's an uphill struggle, yes. But we will get there. Our rights have always been hard won. But they HAVE been won. Keep the faith, sister.
Somehow this fact is bothering You quite a lot JL, especially after having fought for the similar rights in the past 😳. I hope You find the peace to ignore the gaslighting and exposing them with Your brilliant articles.
That's lovely of you Gauri. But please don't worry about me - I'm fine! Just sad for all the impressionable young women who are being taught to prioritise males in their 'feminism' instead of being inspired to fight like tigers for their rights and liberty... like I was! I had some wonderful role models to guide and inspire me when I was a fledgling activist at uni! And I'm SO grateful for that.
Perhaps then we need some strong role models and guide to lead the way strategically or perhaps for us to take the batons. About males being pritoirtized into feminism - sounds : to me this sounds like Lib FEMS or Panderers, or a thing that MRAs would do under the lieu of equal rights 😳 or perhaps our not so sweet friends self ID'ing as Women
Money, follow the money. Pandemic hasn't done good to business and govt funded organisations. So the big tech and Pharmas and universities are all included in this for money. Again I will ask this question to anyone, how many of the deemed to be Activists ( gender extremists) are married to a trans woman.?
Half of them are gay men like Benjamin Cohen and his garbage pink news , rest of them are men identifying as women for their convenience and access to Women and girls. I can't see any de transitioner or intersex perosn raising their voice for gender Ideology. Infact they are repelling it too.
I fear how much of this are we going to have to tolerate before we either break down or lose it and start with an eye for an eye.
On Monday, CBBC will show When Mum Becomes Dad, about a girl being similarly gaslit by her own mother, who transitions. AFAIK, the mother is not following FM’s example, probably knowing she’d lose, but the title alone is suggestive that the contents will be extremely one-sided. Please, if anyone has time, complain to the BBC.
Look, I can't imagine how distressing this guff is for mothers of kids in the age range this kind of propaganda is intended for. How nobody working in the media apparently sees how incredibly "problematic" (to quote the Wokerati) glorifying this to young people is I do not know...
Thank you, it is. It’s made worse when your child has learning difficulties, developmental disorder or any other cognitive disability, as mine does. It was hard enough to explain the basics of human reproduction (although the school was great, the teacher kept using the word “gender” when they meant bio sex), to now present a “sex change” as possible, using as an example a mother, is irresponsible, to put it mildly.
Hope you are successful, and this is exactly which makes us all the more mad. Why Mother's and kids should suffer because of the effing woke dudes and their feels.
Sadly, there are many children and adults who have suffered when their fathers and husbands put themselves first and transitioned. The fact that in this case it’s a woman, who has decided to transition and whose daughter is a teenager, was clearly a factor for the team who made it.
I don't find this madness to be real, and sadly it is. World for now is divided into trans and non trans. The worst is , trans woman have become the center around which the entire universe is now orbiting. When did this happen and how did we get here ?
1. Guardian lost a strong voice and a Woman who got them most of their business. No body was anyways reading the rag, perhaps their subscriptions will now go down altogether.
2. We had signed a petition to restore the Intesersex facts account. It's same as what happened with Dr. Jane. Has Jack transitioned resently ? He is taking it too personally, or is he sleeping with a man identifying as a woman ?
3. I love Dr. Debbie's article. Spectator is the best non woke platform I hope Andrew continues this legacy .
4. Some people can't have kids no matter what, and this absolute bellend and Narcissist Freddy , made it about themselves. What normal person is fighting to be a dad when their baby is newly born, instead of cooing around it all time and recovering from the pregnancy. It's exhausting after all, childbirth.
5. I recently got into a debate on twitter, with a they / them. They got defeated over the same questions -
5.1. how are You going to differentiate between a dysphoric MtF trans woman from a man identifying as woman. Are you gonna gatekeep outside Womens loo room and check before letting each one in. They agreed it's problematic. But couldn't reason further.
5.2. What is the process of transition. And while medically transitioning what are the changes made to the body and why, what are the individuals who are transitioning changing from and into. Since they can't answer 'sex', they gave me a generic definition of feeling comfortable in a new / desired body due to disphoria. Just that. No further answers. I guess its good to let them see the lack of logic In their own arguments.
P.S : Thanks for the excellent article JL. I always wait for You to put our weekly round up. This week felt bearable as compared to last few, didnt it ?
Ah, Gauri, you're always so kind. Huge thanks for your lovely compliments. You do wonders for my self-esteem! I think the story that made my blood boil the most this week is the one from Oxford University. After a lifetime of feminist campaigning and activism (driven by the hope of making things a little better for future generations of women and girls) it breaks my heart to see young women gas lit and hoodwinked into giving away their hard-won rights and opportunities so easily. That a smugly grinning bloke can breeze his way into a women's officer role, cheered on by the very women he's f**king over, well, it just makes me throw up my hands in despair!
And as for Freddy McConnell... I agree with you entirely. The precious gift of a perfect, healthy baby and her main concern is a word on a birth certificate?? How many women would give everything they have to be in such a position. Plus, it's SO selfish - that document belongs to the child, not the parent. But then I really can't get my head around the transmen who give birth. How can you reject / hate your female body to such an extent... and then do the most female thing there is?!
I know. It's great that You fought for the rights we now enjoy, but I can only imagine how much of an agony it must be causing to all of You.
I agree with You again JL, I won't understand dysphoria ( thankfully) which supposedly makes you hate the body / sex you are born into. But I know one thing for sure, no medical condition can justify ignoring your child and making it all about yourself. Especially Freddy is mentally healthy to fight in court to be a father, to plan and give birth to a child but not well enough to care for the kid as a mother because she has dysphoria, where is the logic in that , if someone sees it , anyone, just enlighten me, please.
P.S : Do take care of Yourself, don't let this stuff get to You.
Also waiting eagerly for next piece from You , Already ❤️
Ah you're too kind! You make me blush! I'm just so glad you enjoy my writing and find it useful. It's worth all the effort in that case. Have a great weekend xx
You earn it JL. To shed light on this further, what's best about You is not just weekly articles but any article that You put up has a base to it and you build the proofs on that base and present it as an article. It helps to avoid overwhelming and helps to align our thoughts to understand the message you are trying to get out. It helps to see the point when You lay it out coherently based on a concept / idea.
"5. I recently got into a debate on twitter, with a they / them."
Probably a young woman, huh, Gauri? [I know Sam Smith isn't the ONLY male they/them, BTW!]
"5.1. how are You going to differentiate between a dysphoric MtF trans woman from a man identifying as woman. Are you gonna gatekeep outside Womens loo room and check before letting each one in. They agreed it's problematic. But couldn't reason further."
What really irritates me about this is that the Cult of Trans & Woke have essentially caused the problem(s) about which they seem to so love to complain. If I had a dollar for every time I've seen or heard a woman called a "bigoted, gatekeeping TERF bitch" or similar for wanting to keep our spaces single sex only I'd be a wealthy woman by now. The incoherent nature of the dogma is a feature rather than a bug - the intention is to keep people bickering amongst themselves rather than demanding their legislation be left the Hell alone.
Ditto that for Question 5.2 IMHO.
P.S. I did at least sign and pass on the petition to reinstate Intersex Facts' Twitter account. It's an utter outrage that she should've lost it for the reason she supposedly did.
Beautifully Reasoned. You make a good Ravenclaw. Thanks for responding. I agree with gatekeeping part. They coerce and use DARVO, to make us feel guilty and look criminals for excluding them, which is so untrue. Wish Intersex account is back. I miss Dan too. He was the best with captions and one of my absolute fav ones on twitter. A warrior brother. He started as a parody account. The day Katy gloated on his timeline about Misognyst banned, I felt like saying you are a Bellend Man and no more, but again it's Twitter and also I have trans friends I don't want to hurt by such rudeness. They would know Katy Deserves it, yet it won't do good to building bridges by stopping low.
Puzzled why they couldn’t just post that (pretentious) sign next to the men’s room and leave women alone? Everyone wins: men, TIMs and TIFs. They all want the privilege, they’d even have urinals.
Is anyone on our substack group by the name of Mirabele? Only I got a polite email from them, sincerely. Just perplexed because I don't know any in real life nor twitter friend. And I think this is doxxing otherwise , so I haven't replied.
I can't remember anyone of that name, Gauri. They may be genuine but, if they have your email address, I'd be cautious. I'm sure you'll tread very carefully. Take care xx

Thanks for the heads up, Anna.
I’m really distraught by it. It’ll be on at 5.25, when my disabled child often watches this channel. I’ll have to devise some distraction/excuse.
