What an horrendously tangled web of misogynistic male narcissism dressed up as kindness and inclusion we have woven. I fantasize that it's the death throes of the patriarchy, but fear it is the death throes of humanity. If there is one thing violent misogynists have always been good at, it's taking others down with them. And finding female allies to help them. That US woman defending her decision to transfer a violent sex abuser to a female prison, is one of the most despicable betrayals of women I have seen, which is saying something. JL, I admire your stamina for this total shit fight. Only the strongest women can save us now.

I’ve seen him shouting at several ideologues of different kinds, but other than that I don’t know anything about him. The clips have been quite satisfying to watch.

Dodds reminds me of a demented fraggle. It may be time to investigate exactly who has skin in the game of the gender abattoir. This is an abomination, it destroys women and girls rights, it destroys children's bodies, it destroys gay children/ adolescents, it gives nothing it just takes takes takes! Wes Streeting, late to the game as is usual for labour nitwits, still hasn't grasped the harm this fetishistic bs is doing. The fa should be in court

Charged with discrimination against girls, ignoring safety, pandering to potential sex abusers and all round acting like shit bags. Those who pander to this cult shoukd be ashamed. What political party can be trusted? Not one of them

Thanks Jl 😊

Thanks as ever, JL for the hard work.

It has to be said, great work Ted Cruz, that judge is a disgrace. Would she like to be stuck in a cell with a male rapist for a night!!

Next total disgrace - the NHS. Well done the brave nurses.

Can I suggest sacking all the DEI people in the NHS. Then they could employ some more actual doctors and nurses.

Grrr

I hear ya, Dusty! I have quite a few friends who work in the NHS. They're all heartily sick of this bullshit and just want to get back to treating patients!

They should lock the judge in a room with him for a few hours in order to ‘check her thinking’.

Dodds, a failed Shadow Chancellor, is a Scot! Has she been asleep for the past couple of years during the GRR nonsense, or is she just plain stupid? I go for the latter.

I wrote to my Labour MSP and asked her to have a word with Dodds about why and how Nicola Sturgeon was brought down. It’s as if these idiots think we’re all going to give up and say “oh well we give in, do what you like”’. This gender crap is the hill I will die on.

It was nice of you to annotate the picture of the team where "Francesca" is 4th from left back row, but I am sure that big bruiser could be correctly sexed from 100 yards away. The FA has historically been a misogynistic organization and wouldn't even let women play until 1971.

I have to admit, I annotated that picture with my tongue stuck firmly in my cheek! Even a bat in thick fog could make out exactly which one he is! 😏

I wish people would stop validating these cheats by using the wrong pronouns. 'Francesca' is not a she he is a large hefty man who poses a considerable threat to the women he is playing against. Women need to stop worrying about being called transphobic and call a spade a spade.

as a man,to me it looks like the only way to sort this, is for all women and girls to refuse to compete. Yes- you should not have to do this- but- how else can you- 1. protect yourselves, and- 2. expose the situation to public scrutiny: "'trans woman' has nobody to compete with" headlines, sports stopped, ticket sales and advertising revenue stops etc- public talking point, etc. Boycott it!

I wish Labour really were losing women. Sadly it looks like a desire for ‘change’ is going to override the rights and safety of females. Nor will they implement the new schools guidance, so the indoctrination of children into a cult will continue to produce new generations of brainwashed automatons.

Thanks JL.

Ted Cruz is a good man. At least he and Joe Kennedy are calling out this atrocity that being visited on women and girls. What does it matter which side of politics our champions come from?

These stories just make me sick and angry that men and boys are allowed to come into women only spaces.

Sometimes I slightly let my focus drift and skim some sections to protect my mental health. It was reading the section with the quote from the sworn affidavit from the FBI agent that I felt a usual slight panic as I realised what I was reading (no, no, what the **** am I reading?). I couldn't cope with what I was reading. That's a normal, healthy reaction. How can any of the desperately silly nasty women you feature here keep their pretence up, how does that level of depravity and abuse fit with their nice, shiny pretence that this is a 'rights' movement? I want to remind them over and over again about who they think they are defending. And have them answer for this, their propagation of it and protection of them. Abusive men have just found yet another way to get away with abuse.

I'm wondering what to write across my ballot paper, maybe 'Ask Anneliese Dodds to have a chat with Darin Odier'. The whole Labour front bench should. And they will be in power soon. I was wondering how you would cover the impending election but I feel a grim sense of impending doom. I saw the new E45 ad and it seems the genderborg is still weeviled in everywhere. I'll be avoiding any of their products. I wonder how the subjects of that abuse feel in their skin? Apparently their 'mission' is now 'to support an underserved community who feel the most uncomfortable in their skin'. Oh do they now. Oh the poor selfish, self-obsessed bunnies, I hope a Bud Light moment is coming their way.

My new Tory candidate is very much a Terf so I’ll vote for her.

In the run up to the election it is truly scary how blatant the media, politicians and corporations/local government are behaving towards women.

Voting could and should be focussed on a better world through being kind and human.

Misogynist attitudes seep into many women's lives through their experiences with men and dampen their ability to resist. Sadly desocialised their vote is lost.

Please continue the valuable fight against safeguarding women.

This week's edition made me especially angry. I genuinely don't understand what person could ever think it's sensible to put a rapist in women's prison. Seriously, they must be mentally deficient to reach such a conclusion. It's the fact that they could have come to such a conclusion that fills me with fear, for what other insanity could they dream up if they think this is sensible. I could understand it more if it was just men doing this but it's the women that are facilitating it. At what point do you prioritise a hulking rapist over a woman. Someone explain it. People who allow this are surely genuinely mentally ill. From the bottom of my heart I hope Trump wins. Biden is 100% in board with men being exactly the same as women and being locked up with them. It's a more dangerous path than any Trump could travel.

I know that most of the media is totally in the bag, but it would be lovely if outlets could annotate their reports of fake women's sports successes with the standing they could expect if they competed as men. Almost none of them would even be competing - they're cheating, _and_ they're untalented athletes. Take Maelle Jacques. Here's a news outlet doing it right:

...

As expected, Jacques dominated and finished with a 5’1” mark, an inch better than any other athlete in the girls Division II competition. In the boys Division II, the lowest high jump was 5’8”, and the winning jumpers hit 6’2”.

Ouch, yes, well said that woman yet again. I'm glad some were booing some of these narcissists. And who the hell are the other failing, gutless adults, the teachers, the trainers and coaches, the school principals, the officials, all those who must be enabling this, who push these boys to do this as being in any way acceptable. Who look the other way. It's the acceptable way to cheat. Oh, sorry son, you truly f*cked that one up, you're clearly a bit sh*t at this athletics malarkey, it's not your thing is it, but not a problem, we'll get around that, let's just stick you in with the girls and you can ruin their lives and teach them about 'inclusivity' and 'fairness' with some 'equality' for good measure. Look at the poor saps trying so hard, let's really humiliate them, as you'll feel better then, after those mean boys made you feel bad.

All those photos of oafs a foot taller, gurning away, thinking they've grown their hair a bit longer so are now magically female. Their grotesque male entitlement plain for all to see.

I wrote my first letter to some newspapers about GI around 2018 and all these years later, I still can’t get my head around the insanity. How is this still happening?

Ive just been watching some talks from that recent medical conference in London. What is happening in Brighton is shocking and is likely to happen everywhere under Labour. I’m so worried about children. I’ll see if I can post it.

Good question. It's really odd watching months turn into years. The information is out there - with you writing letters and so many others getting the stats, the evidence and the damned proof. Risking so much to do this. People from all walks of life have been dedicated to exposing this and still people with huge amounts of power are deliberately looking away and are lying through their teeth.

It's not an easy read is it. It's meant for anyone who wants to read it. Remember there is no law to say you have to read it all, or not pick out sections to read. I tend to flip back and forth and put post-it notes in to remind me if there was a bit I needed to go back to or wanted to remember. Although I have a tendency to forget to return library books...;-)
