The question for the Scottish govt really strikes at the heart of the matter. WHY? (did they want to disapply UK law / do the EHRC of all bodies want the census to collect meaningless data, potentially harmful to women's interests / did the police pursue Marion Millar so relentlessly ...) What is in it for the Scottish people? What's in it for the SNP?

"Gordon Pike was a senior official of the Scottish Prison Service and one of the officials who drew up the transgender prison policy. Pike was convicted of the possession of sexual images of children..."

Smashing. He should open a policy unit with Eric Joyce and together they can advise the Scottish Government on all safeguarding issues.

That goddam toilet sign makes my blood boil. So women are not allowed to challenge anyone in their "safe" spaces any more? Do not make purposefully THEM feel Uncomfortable? What about the women using the loos? Protect them from harm? Chances are they are more physically strong and capable of protecting themselves than the legitimate users of the facilities. How about protecting them from harm Oxford Uni?!

M&S have fallen for pronouns in addition to having changing rooms nominally for women but of course not really for women but for anyone who wants to use them. M&S now have badges with the wearers pronouns on them.

As if any customer when needing to talk to a member of staff is going to be using 3rd person pronouns when addressing the staff member directly!

As for the University of Melbourne - clearly have FAR too much money in the coffers if Gender pronouns w*nker is needed. Also, its stated that the post holder must have an "evidence based" approach. Well, that means the job is null and void at the outset as no evidence has been proven for gender identity at all.

Voorzij have a crowdfunder up for legal action against Bunq - https://www.gofundme.com/f/give-dutch-feminists-back-their-bank-account. I think they'll reach their goal quite quickly, don't mistake Amsterdam as typical of the rest of the Netherlands. This could be an interesting one to watch.

The job at Melbourne also pays very well (106-112k from memory) for one where there's no requirement for qualifications other than 'wokeness'. A teacher with many years experience is paid less as are nurses.

I wonder if Bunq has closed down any ‘discriminatory’ accounts for organisations that don’t stand up for women, which means that they must therefore be discriminatory towards women? Or disabled people? I might write and ask them if they have done an audit and purge on this basis to show their lack of bias and discrimination.

I've watched the clip from Brazil three times now, just to be sure. Dyed in the wool skeptic. Can't help it. Don't want to. The quality is poor, so just from looking at the assailant you can not tell. Could hypothetically be a rather tall and very slim girl, too, bordering anorexia. The hseer violence of the attack makes it unlikely that the assailant is a girl. The assailant clearly tries to kick the girls head. That's unusual for girls. It does happen, but very rarely. Even the girl yelling "Você não é mulher!" could in theory be seen in another context. What does convince me that the assailant is a young man is the way the guy handles him when he tries to lunge at his victim again. It is a very determined move, and it indicates that he sees his opponent as a threat, even with the difference in size. If that had been another girl, his reaction would most likely have been very different.

It is alleged that Bunq regularly does business with an ultraconservative Salafi sect.

Well it doesn't surprise me the major universities are getting deeper into the Gender Identitity game as it's exactly what the WEF are pushing. You will find Senior members of all University management connected in one way of another!

Please realise this is a whole lot bigger than just a bunch of crazy students, teachers, Stonewall etc pushing this BS!

Why are they doing this? Divide and conquer in the name of Stake Holder capitalism!

It's not all bad in Amsterdam btw, Amsterdam University is very clear in their support of free speech when you sign up as a student.

Thanks once again , JL. If it wasn't for people like you an Graham ( and others ) we wouldn't know what was going on while much of the media remains silent and pretends it's not happening.! Again more horror stories ,enraging us all and hopefully peaking more people. What's more, these stories ,heart breaking as some of them are ,only confirm we're on the right side of history ! Shows up the stupidity of the Scottish Government when they're willing to screw up the demographically important census statistics just to " cosy up " to cults like Stonewall et Alia. Why waste taxpayers money on an inaccurate census in addition to the money they've already given to these chancers ? Makes me ashamed to be Scottish 😭😭. Thanks again ,JL. You're a star. Keep fighting x

I hope Scots feminists will organise to subvert the 2022 census. Data collected will be of questionable quality anyway. They should resist having this foisted on women by not complying.

Are there legal repercussions for giving fake answers? Fines? Prisons? If enough women just scrawled their GC outrage on the papers, combined with the leery info collected from penislesbians perhaps the Scotland govt would just revert to reality and not try to politicise data collection?

Although one could cynically observe that with the sudden increase in the population of middle aged women perhaps there would be increased services for females? Men always get want they want first.
