Brilliant round-up.

Bringing clarity to the mud.

Got my appeal today, against a censure for co-organising a women's meeting in Newport.

Someone even faked your identity to buy four tickets! Our event had 60 fake ticket buyers and we had to reboot it.

I'll let you know how I get on.

Thank you, Jess! That's really kind of you. I'm raging to hear you've been censured for organising a women's meeting. It's truly Orwellian. Please keep us informed!

Seems that a lot is happening around JL. Thank You for this informative collation.

1. And JK Rowling is a kids Author but a villain whose books should be burned but a man dressing as Drag Queen 👑, can squat with his penis display, to kids, that makes a lot of sense to the bloody blind parents and society , does it ?

2. Nicola has gone woke, or is oblivious to Mridul being a bloke ?

3. What is real name of self declared Stella Moore, MF looks like someone's grand dad, filthy old stooge wanna play games with Gals, ask him to play with his daughters , No !!!!

4. Poor Woman in Prison, JK Rowling, Graham, and many others warned this shite of violence and rape would happen, hope FairPlayforWomen bag a win , fingers crossed 🤞

5. About Pronouns day, they don't respect our existence, to f with their pronouns. We ain't pandering to hurt feelings of men who wanna dress up like Barbie's and wanna get called she /her/they/them/it etc...they can die mad about it.

I should hope that 'Stella' Moore has to play men's bowls! He has some nerve expecting to be able to play on the women's team just because he's put on some lippy and breast forms. I really hope that he and Stonewall aren't able to bully their way into ruining women's lawn bowls for the British public.

I'm afraid it looks like Bowls England are caving already. I think 'Stella' will be on the team before you can say "Entitled & selfish".

Grrr...

Thanks for the update though JL.

I notice in the article "Stella" makes the point that bowls doesn't rely on physical strength etc so there's no reason why he shouldn't play with the ladies. Hasn't occurred to him that the ladies might just want a bit of space that's theirs alone, away from men, just for an hour.

No, of course it hasn't 🙄

My stepdad plays lawn bowls and yes, he plays mixed bowls sometimes - but I get the distinct impression that men and women both generally prefer to play with other people of the same sex for the majority of the time. As you point out, it's a sport which has a large social component. But as long as "Stella" is belatedly receiving all of the affirmation he desires, I guess...

Yes, it's all about validation. And who cares if he robs a woman of her opportunity to play bowls with her friends...?
