It is very good news indeed when some of the most fervent trans ideology supporters - Police Scotland, Guardian, BBC - are backpeddling ferociously away from it now.

Get ready for a whole raft of denialism and gas lighting; "no governor, not me. I never supported that pile of crap!"

It's going to be like after WW2, with everyone claiming to have been in the resistance :)

Oh yes. And finding out just how many made a mint on the suffering of others. Looking at how much fraud and cheating that goes on during times of war and national emergency when people are a bit distracted, lose all norms and structures of society. When people are at their most vulnerable along come the looters and pilferers. All these 'businesses' and 'charities'. Often the myths settle in that 'everyone pulls together'. Not always; some spot an opportunity and prices and norms go haywire.

But this is good news, so we knew, we remember, we are forewarned they're at it and we will call it out! And won't wheesht.

Yes! While, I've always said my ex-husband regarded his secret cross-dressing as a stint in the French Resistance, with a cohort of men using coded messages to communicate how they keep their "frocks & locks" from their wives~

Looks like there is a big case against Kettle Moraine School district for "social transitioning." Not reported anywhere, but Dr. Stephen B. Levine is posting his testimony in webpages. This is suburban, wealthy country outside of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, decidedly not as liberal as the area around Madison, the state capital. Here's the link to SB Levine's comprehensive testimony, from his experience of changing his mind on "affirmation." Next week, parts of this will receive a dramatic reading on Ute Heggen YouTube channel.

Yow!! For a few minutes, as I read the table of contents, I thought this was testimony of Dr. “RACHAEL” Levine, appointed to be an assistant member of the Biden administration.

Best news of all for Scottish women is that Sturgeon is oot, hanged by the very suffragette ribbons gender critical women were ejected from Holyrood for displaying. Who’s having the last laugh now, Nicola, you bampot.

Ahhh, thank you. You promised good news and you did not disappoint.❤️ We are trying to pass SB99 here in Montana which will prevent the medicalization of children. Sadly the vote is following party lines. This should be a nonpartisan issue and I think Democrats will see that a lot of women are jumping ship.

thank you. and particularly for the link to make a submission. which i did. it is essential that biological sex is the descriptor in media not the everchanging nonsense of gender identity.

Don't know if you saw the Unherd survey, but Scotland is now the terfiest bit of Terf Island.

Thanks for that. Didn't see the survey but I'm so glad to hear that x

All these bursts of sanity are a breath of fresh air. But I am going to put in a little plea.

At the end of the queue for a revised view of "gender bending" are the families of AGPs: the children of transitioners and Transwidows like me, the abandoned wives of AGPs/mothers of the children. Yes, the AGPs themselves are not the most appealing "victims" of their own delusion, but they are deluded. I want a complete and impartial assessment by "non-captured" psychiatrists about whether it is better to indulge their delusion or try to break the spell of the delusion. I think you know my views on this. I will continue to speak out about the extraordinary "unilateral" medicalization of an Adult mental health disorder with brutal physical interventions. And in the experience of my now dead Trans ex-H these interventions don't work: (1) no one believed him - he lived alone "as a woman" for the last 16 years of his life and (2) his male metabolism continued in the background: he had a recurrence of his prostate enlargement despite all the years of taking estrogen. He lost his resolve to wear women's clothes and probably committed suicide by throwing himself out of a window which he had carefully designed (he was an architect) to be extremely dangerous. This is a terrible isolation and catastrophic ending for an intelligent and highly educated man who had so much to live for and missed much of it.

Thank you for the lovely news. Is that a baby otter with the cats? It's an adorable clip, but the little dog going backwards is very funny.

Let's see what happens with IPSO and whether this will result in honest reporting of biological people involved in crime.

Well done Scotland!!!! If it all goes well, prison services in Scotland will use biology rather than lies from now on. I really hope it's real. Women prisoners have suffered this extra risk and indignity long enough. JK Rowling, going strong, Sturgeon, stepping down. This is so sweet.

Just had a horrible thought which i imagine i am as usual months/years behind everyone else but…. for the utter bastards that want to hurt others, maybe the knowledge they can simply transition in the event of being caught is in itself a motivational factor in going through with the offences. Gives them the confidence to offend because they perceive the potential punishment bearable.

Thank fuck sturgeons gone, hopefully the next leader will be more reluctant to champion rapist’s rights.

Thanks for the uplifting post as always. That surfer, what a legend. Some people just lift us all with their sheer brilliance.

Omg, that baby otter! ❤️

So glad to hear that IPSO is looking at its reporting policy on trans incidents. Hoping the see sense and fo a U turn on their current stance.

Even more pleased to hear the Scottish prison service is putting their brain in gear, well done to you guys.

The Streisand effect happening around the Howard's game is simply delicious. What a bunch of bananas tras are.

Some really great news today all round really, if it wasn't bed time, I'd celebrate 😄

Thanks as always, JL! You're the best! Having a G&T and thinking of you!

Thank you JL. The situation in Scotland truly is democracy in action. The resignation of Sturgeon should be a warning to whoever comes next that you can only force people to pretend they believe in someone else's (dangerous) absurdity for so long.

Roll on the same democratic return to rationalism in schools, healthcare etc etc. After years of obedience to this ludicrous ideology, it feels as if people are finally starting to lose their fear.

Unfortunately we can't take the BBC and the Guardian's use of the term man in their reports as back peddling. It actually suits their agenda to refer to "transwomen" that commit sexual and violent crimes as men - it helps to hide the fact that a "transwoman" is just as likely to commit such crimes as any other man. We need to see if they refer to a "transwoman" as a man when they do something good. If they don't then all we will see is a policy that only ever shows "transwomen" in a positive light.

It's disturbing isn't it - how they will bestow and confirm the term woman on any man until they find out he's committed offences. It's like an honorific. Then he cedes into not a 'proper' 'transwoman' or 'true trans'. Then he is permitted to lose his wimmining points and the media and polite society are allowed to call him a man again, so the rest of us are. There are a whole load of hoop jumping flexibly defined meanings and definitions now. When in court, you must refer to your rapist and abuser as a woman - is that still current? Yes. That happened by stealth too. Does a conviction for rape mean your 'legally defined' 'gender' is then changed back by default? No. And it shows the mirage all of this is.

We only have laws because not everyone is nice and some will always take the piss and push randomly at any boundary because it's a boundary. So you can 'self-ID' and use the sex you wish to identify as when you are under or over a certain age, with a certain income level, and if you are the perpetrator or victim of crime. It depends. But no one is quite clear in what circumstances. But we are clear and we are being told it's unclear.

I've been looking at some of the messages from young women online and their Tweets hurling abuse at gay men - it's very disturbing how freely and easily they leapt to very vicious homophobic slurs and threats, wishing extinction on those men - any gay man - for not wanting to have sex with them and as they are 'cis'. It's hard to know how to describe the forces and cult movement that unleashed such sheer hatred under the guise of kindness, love and inclusion.

It's cool to see my Tervan Tuppence there 🥳 I handed out 100 at Standing For Women in Glasgow on the 5th of Feb. They were numbered - if anyone has number one - it's the one in the picture. (Almost 100% sure 😂) Enjoy!

Thanks for all the good news and well done women of Scotland! We're a force to be reckoned with! 💜

Citing a 1394 detention for suspected sodomy is soooo relevant to today's debate about Gender Identity. Manufactured outrage 🙄

It's a very nice way to be all anti-Colonial warriorlike though and have a go at and blame 'the English' or those living in the UK in 2023 though. Meanies. There's a ton of re-writing happening again, swapping wrongs and errors for more wrongs and errors. All the latest libellous crap going on through Twitter you'd think it was a few plucky good people going to find freedom and hope in a supposedly empty land all over again. Let's re-write the future! Let's hope there are some notes in the margins of the illuminated texts to help us.
