Monday 13th November - One For Sorrow THE TELEGRAPH: A football club has suspended the membership of a female fan over gender critical comments she made on social media. Last week we reported on a woman who was interviewed under threat of arrest by Northumbria Police over gender critical comments made on social media. The woman, a 34-year-old lesbian who lives in Newcastle, was accused of breaching the Malicious Communications Act after expressing her (perfectly legal) views - that ‘transwomen’ are men and gender diverse children should not be medicalised - on X (Twitter).
FFS. There just aren’t enough 🤬😡😳🤮 (and repeat) of these to adequately express my anger, fury, disgust and sheer horror. Why, why why, is this still happening? Where is the outrage? Why is a football club policing someone’s opinions? Why are so many repulsive, narcissistic blobs being feted and appeased? The NHS is a disgrace for caving in to the bullies as are the sports federations, to the point of putting a woman’s life at risk!! As for the teachers who are deliberately damaging children…. there are no words. Please, please someone make it make sense. I can’t say thanks JL but you know what I mean.
The gender cult is all about what men what. Demands for Trans Rights are not about rights, they are demands for misogynistic men to have and do whatever they want, irrespective of the impact it makes on anyone else. They don't care if women are harmed, or if the psychological and physical health of minors is damaged. They don't care, that's it, and it's not possible to effectively communicate or negotiate with people who care only about themselves.
There are more men than women in positions of authority, they have the power to make decisions which have damaging consequences for women. They don't have to be concerned about or vaguely interested in trans politics, or the list of demands of trans identified males, they just don't like women very much. They can see that what they are cooperating with and giving their concent to is eroding women's rights, it is restricting women's freedoms, taking away women's spaces and putting women's safety in danger. It is abuse, and it begins at the top and runs through every layer of authority; the political, legal, education and health systems, everything. If it wasn't so, the privileges and protections given to trans identified men and the organisations that represent them would be inconceivable. It wouldn't happen.
You are so right, Radwha. If this were only female 'trans', they'd have got nowhere. I think that most men know that their sexuality can take them to dark places if they are not careful, and most decent men refuse to go there, but they do understand to some extent those men who do. They will never understand women. The dire mess of maternity care in England, and the closing of local maternity facilities in rural Scotland where some women have to travel hundreds of miles to reach a maternity unit, tell us this very starkly. You are right: it is abuse, and the decisions taken by men need to be balanced by women because we are always harder hit in any economic crisis and cut-backs. I do believe that our human rights, as outlined in the UN, are being breached regularly even in the West, and this 'trans' enabling which allows deviant, perverted men to play out their sickness is part of it.
Some might be weak, some might genuinely go along with the gender bollocks. But I think there are a lot of young women, perhaps lacking in self assurance, who yield to the pressure being put on them to confirm. It's very likely that they'll change their position not too far down the line, as the putrid, predatory cult they gave their support to, shows them who the real casualties are.
I am raging mad too. We just have to keep pushing back. I pay my annual fee to Free Speech Union just in case but I will start donating to Fair Cop too.
Yes, me too, just in case! Fair Cop are a good option too. If the police come knocking, admit to nothing, don’t let them in, take their pictures and ask what crime has been committed. Giving offence is not against the law.
Yet again these malevolent men twisting the premise of safeguarding so they are free to smash the bones of others, of women and girls, to 'safeguard' their own swollen egos. They will use anyone and anything to get their own way. No, no and NO! I wish all these idiotic sporting bodies would get off the fences they all ran away to perch on top of.
Risk assess: one man's poor wee briefly bruised ego versus lifelong harm and disability. Oooh that's a tricky one. FFS.
Did you see the Michael Shellenberger speech on Dusty’s substack- Gladiator, where he explores the psychopathic nature of gender ideology (with advice from Jordan Peterson). He explains how a small group of bullies can get larger groups of people to go along with their insanity.
I have been observing this strange trend for a few years now - groups of often youngish people, their blood up, going out for a fun day out screaming and threatening anyone who crosses their path, including children maybe ten years younger than them, or elderly, families, passers by, anyone. Oh, I mean they are 'protesting'. About anything and everything and often things they know little to nothing about. It seems the thing to do now, to vent all your rage, your bile, your insecurities and unhappiness to random others that you don't see as human as it's easier that way. Spit first, think later. Then I see older people joining in and people really thoroughly enjoying the anonymity of the crowd. It's terrifying.
I’m from the left as most of us seem to be, but it’s the fault of lefty woke intolerance and authoritarianism, which is running rife through our education system and causing so many problems….”I’m right and anyone who disagrees is evil and hateful”.
Yes, that intolerance and authoritarianism. It is a very simplistic and recidivist way of being. Which perturbs me. I would have said I was left of centre too. Everything seems to have shifted every which way. And it's not just that I am older. It's the glee with which kids I knew 15 years ago are now real agitprop nasty obsessed adults in their 20s and above all demanding and violent. Their way or the highway. I knew one who hit the headlines recently for some nasty things he said. Totally clueless. What happened? Supposedly intelligent people at our finest Universities? Not realising that not everyone thinks the same as them? That if you spout ignorant and offensive statements that you will get pushback. You will incite hatred. You can't offer an apology and row back from that so easily. What actual equality means, not this EDI smokescreen for yet more privilege? That they are promoting not fighting against hatred? I hope he regrets that and has learnt from it but I'm not sure as there is this entrenched self-assurance. Are people not advising them, or do they ignore everything?
I share your pain. It’s all completely mad. Sickening.
If these newsletters could published in the mainstream press there would be mass peaking and a huge public backlash. There is power in the disgust generated by these stories. But how to harness it?
Thanks JL, i mean there’s so much horror here as usual. I think a man has to be a special kind of arsehole to get into a ring with a woman to fight her. I think you have to be a special kind of arsehole to stage it and not tell the female athletes the truth.
To pretend that, that man fighting a women, in a ring is some how sport! Its not sport, its sadistic entertainment. It’s a fucking pervert’s dream come true. It is. Why do they have weight categories in boxing if not to protect different body types from each other. in canada do male boxers in the fly weight category get dropped in with the heavy weights? does the heavy weight have a right to destroy the fly weight because of how he’s feeling?
What pisses me off time and time again and i’m sure everyone is the same, but all this stuff we read….. we invite scrutiny and invite people to call JL and GL and all the others out. Fucking prove they are lying or making it up! defend your position! prove i am wrong! Fucking prove it! I want them to dissect what we read and prove to me that the arguments against gender ideology are wrong, and i’m wrong. I’ll happily change my position if they can convince me.
But they won’t defend it, and no one seems to care. All the leaders, nhs, businesses, media etc. Why don’t they want to know if what we read here is true? Surely it matters if children are receiving ideologically lead medical treatment. How is that not worth investigating? so upsetting. Just relentless frustration and anger and sadness. Sorry long rang.
Thanks JL, out of respect to someone here who didn’t like my choice of words i stopped using this particular word. But he’s definitely one, that guy who wants a legitimate platform to hit women. What a f-ing bastard
Ha ha! oh thanks MG, thats made me laugh out loud which i needed. I get a bit carried away in the comments which i apologise for, but i just think well i’m venting but people can just ignore me.
Stick it in a French maid outfit, slap some bright red lippy on it and nobody could deny it's feminity even if it did rip his face off and eat his tongue.
Don’t apologise for ranting. You’re writing what we’re all feeling. It’s very heartening to know that others are just as pissed as me at this crap. I just keep my comments short to stop me from throwing my phone at the wall! 😆
No need to apologise. I’m the same. Off I go and before I know it, it’s War and Peace. I look forward to your diatribes CB. Most excellent. Keep ‘em coming. Very valid points made too. The hypocrisy of the Boxing Body is off the scale. Protect featherweight men but women are fair game? Beyond outrageous. I’m in my 60s and it is only now I fully appreciate the level of misogyny out there. Not just men either. The women supporting this shit have to be misogynists too.
I was just thinking that, these organisations are literally sanctioning and enabling/platforming violence against women. There is a valid place where a man can go assault a woman. Terrifying. Masquerading as sport. So upsetting. And the choice for women- stop doing what you want or take it. Sorry Susan. I know you know all this. I use these rants to clarify my own thoughts. I know you know all these things. All the best.
I’ve just had a long phone call with an old school pal who has had serious issues with hypertension and we have to agree not to speak of this subject, the incompetence of Scottish politicians, the aMiddle East or Ukraine. Since we both have a lot to say about everything the stress of not ranting is nearly as bad as if we did rant.
Marion , I kid you not we had an email about not giving Ukrainians toy guns as Xmas gifts (from the fb ) fine I’ll give them to all else , didn’t bother to ask about drones or tanks
JL is right, rant away, we all need to rant and eventually many more people will join in, but it won't be in the void. It will be to the people responsible for such egregious abuse, and eventually they will be answerable for their crimes.
cb: I think actually hurting females is a big part of the pleasure for them. I know that seems harsh, but I do believe it is the truth. Too many men get a huge kick out of harming women for it not to be true. It is simply that we cannot face it, or I should say, most males cannot face up to that truth about their own sex. I listened some time ago now to a psychologist who admitted that, when it was a woman who came to see him, and she was very vulnerable, he had to check himself not to hurt her with cruel put-downs. I cannot recall his name, but I remember being horrified. He said that he never felt the same compulsion when it was a man he was seeing, and he felt that this was part of the male psyche - power and control over others, usually women and children. I have also read about the treatment meted out to very damaged 'trans' 'widows' by marriage counsellors and psychologists, and even divorce lawyers. We just cannot seem to be able to face up to the realities about male-female relationships, and I am not claiming that women are angels, but, proportionally, we just do not have that same impulse to harm.
Applying this to healthcare and the obvious power imbalances that are core to patient interaction - add in another layer of 'being an expert' and deference to that.
Depending on the context - if you are in a heated discussion and even argument with another adult there are still rules and what is your purpose - to shred the other person? To see a weakness and leap on it? I learned quite early on that a vicious put down was possible but not wise and how it feels for me, so don't do it or with extreme caution. Professionally it should get you struck off. I can defend myself, but many people seem to jump on weaknesses or barely pay attention to the fact it's another human being they are interacting with. Isn't that about empathy and looking ahead - you then have to deal with the consequences of seeing someone's weakness or something they are sensitive about and having the nous, the awareness, the empathy to not go there, no matter how strongly you feel or how much your own ego or sense of self is challenged. That seems the chip or bit missing now in many interactions, online ones and most 'trans' activist ones. The leap to violence and to put someone else down, humiliate and hurt them.
Also really interested in your male psyche point - it's also stark that the 'trans' ideology is and seems to feed off the 'male psyche' - or the most negative aspects of that (or paternalism) and 'strength' and 'power' often meaning demands, threats, violence and destruction as a means to get your way. Many say 'trans' is a male rights movement and when female 'trans' are so often overlooked or conveniently excluded (oh the irony of some forms of exclusion) when that doesn't fit the point they are attempting to make. Then add in what is historically or is termed the 'female psyche'. All of this was torn apart and disembodied to the point reality is argued over.
The current 'trans' movement seems to be presenting as males in female spaces and taking over all female experiences, voices, rights and bodies and female 'trans' individuals negating and denying their female experiences, voices, rights and bodies. So where is the female voice left in all that?
I honestly believe that many, if not most, females will be driven - and not just in the West - to gain strength from all this adversity. That will eventually be the real irony of the movement which is, almost certainly, and almost wholly, a men's sexual rights and social rights, movement. The women and children are the human shield for the be-frocked men.
The backlash, when it comes, and it will come, will send them reeling. A social revolution is coming, as it must, and, this time, it will be female-led and it will lead to far greater female strength and representation. This is how it must be if we are all to survive and to save our planet from certain destruction.
This 'trans' nonsense is men's last gasp before they ruin our planet and the human race forever with their totally out-of-kilter, solely 'masculine' ways of doing things. We need balance, and that has been missing for most of our tenure on this Earth as human beings because men have the power and the control. If many men won't listen, they will be made to listen.
Nothing we can devise as humans can outdo Mother Nature and evolution (which is both male and female, not just male, as Darwin believed) for restoring balance. The social destruction inherent in the exploitation and profit-making principles must stop (as Adam Smith pointed out three hundred years ago).
This really interests me - what, how and why. And how people respond to vulnerability. The word is thrown around a lot now - usually self-described by trans activists to defend themselves when they are attacking others, usually women and girls, or to 'defend' this mythic 'most vulnerable' that anyone self-identifying as 'trans' is automatically categorised as even by judges ruling over rape and child abuse cases. Actual, real, genuine vulnerabilities are now missed or still not addressed. Because someone has a vulnerability it doesn’t preclude them abiding by the law or social norms in other areas.
When I've read research and studied it's hard not to, but also useful to think about my own experience and understanding. Anecdote isn't the plural of data but I can't absent myself from how I experience things. This is also about the 'shared rules' that obviously aren't so shared - how you/we/I learn from childhood that you don't pick on others and weaker people. This is all very childhood and playground and it seems many (maybe our societies) are stuck at those points - not knowing what the rules are for us to all exist together. We learn very early on that we can attack others and that we should not. Bigger people aren't just allowed to hurt smaller people. More so if that person has come to us for help - that's really dangerous power games. Some are physically dominant as are those gifted by society with more power and control over others and we have built rules around that. Many men get a real shock when they are challenged and overpowered (physically, mentally or emotionally) by women. Whether it’s a last resort or first to physically intimidate someone or a battle of the minds (like in your description above). I also am very aware that with men and many admit this, that it's an undercurrent and expectation, that they have this ability in reserve when they need to - the use of physical intimidation or threat when they choose. It’s implied and inherent and with the most unassuming or physically smaller men. That famous, men are worried we'll laugh at them, women are worried men will kill us.
I can only wonder! Yes that sizeable minority. Other men who scream and yell, swear, intimidate and insult women in public, for the nerve of existing and being women (and mothers and other verboten terms) are not usually allowed, encouraged or condoned. It's a canny wheeze isn't it. They are like the trans religious police. What other groups of men have to be held back by the police in numbers and are regularly appearing in court for physically assaulting us in groups, in daytime, in public.
Rant away cb , in fact double rant for me , I’m a bit busy this week !
Some of you might have seen the article about big Foodbank ( before it was quickly pulled ) and the shocking amount of money being spent ‘ not on food ,as we don’t need it ‘ paraphrasing
Morning cb , o yes sums that you wouldn’t believe , even if the article is only half true . It will be interesting to see the donations this morning from a supermarkets customers if any of them have read it . Absolutely sickening
i’ve seen something just now in the express. It looks bad and could well be. I don’t think the ceo salary is excessive. Head teachers of acedemy chains get more, average ceo of a state funded academy chair is 250 grand. Heads of councils get more. i don’t have an issue with a food bank charity having a coping with debt division. Debt is crippling to loads of people isn’t it and it leads to poverty. Obviously inclusivity training sounds like a grotesque waste of money. The centres will have substantial operational costs. Are all the volunteers drivers not ment to claim for mileage with diesel at 170 a litre. I mean, the express was owned by a fucking pornographer until recently- Richard desmond, don’t know who owns it now but certainly under his ownership i just read everything they wrote and thought, you’re a fucking pornographer so you can go and fuck yourself.
So the express which is massively politically motivated, like well everyone and everything wants to destroy the reputation of a food bank charity and maybe it has some points but i think that particular article needs scrutiny like everything we read.
They may be right. i will search else where and see what others are saying.
It does sound pretty terrible for sure Petal but i’d want to see specific breakdown of their costs. Its a national organisation and they will have large admin costs, but yes it does look like they are taking the piss. They will have to respond and show exactly how they spend donations. Lets see what they say in response. What the fuck do they need inclusivity training for to hand out food.
The OED, always reviewing its definitions, should consider the following change.
Bully (n) Anyone who disagrees with you. Useful descriptor, especially if you are a trans identified mentally deranged man in a dress and you have no real case to make. A tool to shut down debate and discredit the rude person who will just not accept what you say as gospel.
The irony of the German man, Ria Geyet, bullying women to accept him in the ladies toilets and calling the women bullies if they object. The word has lost all meaning due to its ubiquitous application by anyone with a grudge in any situation. We’re all bullies these days, according to the trans identified mentally deranged mob.
The rest was a depressing read although I did actually burst out laughing at the arsonist pretending to be a woman. That wig! It’s not funny really but I couldn’t help myself. Of course that’s a woman, said no-one, ever.
Trying to put a positive spin on it all in my head. I’m hoping that all the light now shining on the madness (Newcastle Football Club - seriously? Have you lost your minds. Hope the woman sues the idiots) is damaging the movement. People are becoming more aware and objecting. MSM is covering more of the idiots. The NHS is a lost cause though. Why spend money on healthcare when you can waste it in the EDI industry.
My award for this week’s Most Deranged prize goes to the nutters at Leeds Let Women Speak. Chanting River to the Sea, another one for the OED, is essentially now a call to exterminate a group, in this case women. Every one of these morons should have been arrested and exposed for the idiots that they are.
Rant over. Phew. Can get on with my day now. Will keep sharing as much as possible. Spreading the word.
Thanks JL. So grateful to Graham. So much of this would remain hidden but for this stellar effort to expose the crazy. At great personal expense.
Thanks for your amazing work as ever, JL, bringing us these horror stories!!
It is always unfair and often dangerous for men to compete in women's sports but a boxing federation allowing a male boxer to compete against women really brings us to a new level of insanity.
It is really frustrating when papers that are otherwise sympathetic to our gender critical arguments such as the Daily Mail then use preferred pronouns!!
Really shocking to watch that school video and seeing the children in the process of being indoctrinated!! As reported by WRN the school is in St Albans area and WRN Herts and Cambridge have volunteered to talk to any concerned parents. The teacher with her faux sweet voice reminds me of Michelle Forcier , the 'do chickens cry?' woman from the Matt Walsh film. Glad to note that Ms Forcier is currently being sued in America by a detransitioner. I just reported on the school yesterday in fact :
Thanks Dusty. So by those standards….using female pronouns for a male, is publishing inaccurate and misleading information. They are breaking the rules. This is particularly offensive to women when a crime has been committed.
Mine will be TERF. I will demand it. Despite the fact this is the first time in my life (60s) I have ever got involved in anything remotely political I’m up for the fight.
Oh gawd. Will this BS ever end? How anyone can think any of this is ok is beyond me. I'm effing raging. It's pure narcissim and fetishism every bloody time. Look at that boxer - no irony in his comments talking about trust? Was he going to pull his blows? I doubt it. He would have pummelled that poor woman to an inch of her life. And that hiddeous "writer" who, let's face it is just putting out propaganda normalising violence against women who won't comply with a dangerous ideology. Why aren't the police interviewing him? Why are they liaising with a football club over a fan's personal and legal comments in contravention of the law they are meant to uphold? If you contrast these two cases you can see that the police are basically the strong arm for gender ideology. It's f***ing messed up.
I'm deeply worried about -especially after having read Rough Crowd about how they seem happy to harass law abiding citizens on behalf of criminals. And that cop with fetish involving young boys should not be let anywhere near a school.
What is so odd is that many of them are coming across as not very bright, not very well-versed in the law, then oddly intransigent digging in on positions that they then are unsurprisingly forced to admit are wrong, then make the same errors repeatedly and seem incapable of learning even in their own best interests. And will drag their heels. And it keeps happening. They appear to be repeatedly targeting and harassing individuals. Some of the 'advice' they have been giving their own officers and on the use of social media is totally barmy. And they seem aggressively affronted when reasonably challenged.
I have had recent contact and was really surprised at the twaddle a civvy member of staff was spouting with remarkable confidence. Who is training these people? And in what? I knew he was wrong and I politely asked if he was sure. That's really troubling when very many members of an organisation seem to instinctively make it up as they go along and use the power of their uniform or organisation to give that cover. We need them so that we can feel safe and that is in doubt for many of us.
I am in the US, and i cannot picture law enforcement going along with Stonewall-esque bullshit. I can picture them ignoring women’s issues and all manner of mistakes in policing, but not believing and enforcing gender bullshit. know a lot of law enforcement officers through my job and I generally like them, but they tend to be rather cynical in my experience. Does anyone else find it weird that so many UK police seem to be so accepting of wild leftist ideologies?
A genius strategy there from the Scottish government - their last leader made an utter knob of herself trying to explain why a rapist belongs in a woman's prison, so obviously they introduce a "50 point action plan" to address issues which the majority of voters understand to be potentially-dangerous, made-up nonsense. Maybe they can make it easier for Adam Graham to access the women's toilets when he gets out of prison. Ballot box gold.
It's like a cult getting defeated by reality and concluding that they're just not chanting hard enough.
Activists everywhere, all so smug about their ‘virtue’. I really hope more of the public is getting thoroughly sick of this, and raising their voices & complaining (to the schools, main stream media, politicians). We can make the effort to praise the realists & challengers, and complain about the loons!
Isn't it strange? I listened to the news tonight and someone was cogitating on the effect that living under constant stress, control, powerlessness and so on can lead to an explosion of feeling and violence, as occurred in Gaza. They were talking about men, of course, and never seem to apply the same rationale to women's situation. We live our entire lives as the sex that is usually powerless, under control and under constant stress from one source or another. The thing that saves men from our wrath is our comparable lack of strength, I think, and our more passive nature as a sex, and I shudder to think of the vengeance we would wreak if we ever overcame our sex nature. Don't get me wrong: I am advocating no such thing; but, if I were one of these sadistic men, I'd think twice about hurting women.
In the context of the Middle East, where in many countries the law of the land is women have no power, we’re supposed to be understanding of men’s explosions of feeling and violence, to the degree of the hideous sexual violence on October 7. Sometimes I can’t believe how naive I was when I was younger.
All this sometimes makes me think I’m a lone voice in a sea of madness then I look at the comments here and on many other publications and sites and know that I’m definitely one of the majority. Why is it that in the 21st century it’s still all about what men want and fuck women - and indeed many of them want to do that too!
April Hutchinson is an example of what happens in Canada to female athletes who speak up against male competitors. She is a powerlifter who was banned for 2 years after criticizing TIM in a sport that is about pure strength. TIM 40 year old Anne Andre's set a new national record that was more than 400 pounds higher than his closest opponent all the while ridiculing female competitors.
It's obvious that female sports has become the de facto prize for middle aged failed narcissistic male athletes who have nothing to prove regarding their athletic prowess and everything about their cheating unsportsmanlike behaviour. It's no coincidence that the vile Rachel McKinnon/Veronica Ivy is also Canadian.
It seems that everyone from our politicians, academia, educational institutions, Sports Federations, government sponsored media, entertainment, and medical professionals are all pushing a hard line on supporting trans ideology. Our TRA are particularly vocal, visible, and vile.
It shocks me that this is still happening despite years of push back. Those 'sporting bodies' have laid out the red carpet for these men and they wouldn't have attempted it, then kept on attempting it without their tacit and then overt support for them. They clearly always were hugely misogynistic and women were only ever a token inclusion into what they still deem as a male space. So it wasn't that hard for the token uhming and ahhing resistance to be totally bulldozed. It must be a terrible realisation for those women who excelled in these sports and dedicated years of their lives. We are going backwards not making progress. I am furious and feel desperate for the current and future generations of women in sport. I think I will watch the 'no thank you' video again for some inspiration.
I always knew the IOC was very sexist, but I never knew until recently that seemingly all sports governing bodies see women’s sports as a bunch of amateurs playing for participation trophies, and that even the amateur leagues playing for participation trophies don’t give a shit about women and girls.
I guessed I had hoped it wasn't but yes, the depths are a surprise. I had a male relative involved with IOC stuff and male relatives who were involved with amateur and professional sports. One was far more encouraging of me than the others and not as cutthroat - despite being the same generation. There were the same shenanigans you see at FIFA and apparently the corruptions with all elite sport. Silly money and a lot of silly egos chasing that money and power. My male cousins still talk over me now despite me having competed and they have never seen me as a equal and never will - I'm just a silly girl. I still think back very fondly to my coaches; the men and women who encouraged and supported us year after year. I was glad to see Seb Coe eventually come out with fairly strident comments.
Another uncle used to film major sports events. I tried to talk to him about golf once when I was about 8 years old and he literally shut me up as it's 'for men' (like the above mentioned relative who used to do a lot of business on or around the courses). He laughed and mocked me another time. I tried a few more times and he was equally as disparaging. So I learnt and got to play golf through others and as an adult. I couldn't play with the men through work (men only) or a few other times 'socially'. By the time I did meet someone willing to invite me along it turns out I was accidentally quite good but the whole 'culture' put me off so I didn't keep practising. The men I was playing with started as children, their dads took them, then they carried on, seeing the same faces for the next twenty, thirty years.
When I was approached by the senior men of a Royal blah golf club as an adult and asked to join and my thoughts on how to encourage women and anyone vaguely under 30 to join I thought nah chaps, you carry on as you are. Get your subs and new members some other way.
Fair Cop are brilliant! Thank goodness for them, this substack and the people on the messages or I would be well and truly LETHAL after reading today's update.
Perhaps the worst aspect is that the NHS the Police our schools and universities are deeply infiltrated with this nonsense. Our freedom of speech our rights our democracy is under serious threat.
I've been trying to think about Trans-identified-males muscling their way into female sports. Their first line of justification is 'Inclusivity' -which they can get away with, if the sport governing body has been captured by TRAs, who have put an Inclusivity Policy into place. Maybe it'd be good for us to highlight the Insurance Costs, were women to be seriously injured by males- insurance loss adjustors would surely use that as a loophole to avoid payng out compensation (oh, well obvs we don't cover injuries caused by MALES...) This could undermine the finances- some TRAs won't care, but others in the governing bodies might start to pay attention if they could be sued- as an organisation- or even, personally...? Or just the info that female participants are NOT protected, could peak some players to refuse to particiapte. And BTW, how about a 'Duty of Care' by the sport? Could legal action help shine a light on this area? (As a man, I've tried to avoid butting in, and suggesting females should boycott their own sports- but it looks to me like that is what must happen temporarily, to protect your female-only places. Biological males have absolutely no place competing in 'female' sports.)
Please butt in, we need every voice. And you’re right, women need to boycott their own sports. It’s beyond me that so many go along with the insanity, although there are a few examples of sane sports women who lose out on sporting success rather than comply.
Yes, refuse to take part if faced with a male competitor, but walk away after registering your protest in the strongest terms - to the media. If the match is being televised or filmed in any way that could end up going viral, scream it from the bottom of your lungs: I WILL NOT INJURE MYSELF PLAYING AGAINST A MALE. WHEN FEATHER-WEIGHT MALE BOXERS ARE PITTED AGAINST HEAVY-WEIGHT MALE BOXERS, I MIGHT CHANGE MY MIND. I fear that female sports will just be defunded and ignored if the women do not go public in a very loud and determined way.
Just more evil to enrage me. Every single one of these horror stories had me shouting at the walls yet again !! Not only am I furious at the TRAs but at the organisations which show their abject cowardice by supporting these misogynistic lunatics. It comes as NO SURPRISE that they also support HAMAS ,who carried out the most stomach churning horrific attacks on the Israeli people ,including women ,children and babies ! What will it take for the authorities to WAKE UP to the evil they're enabling ? I really despair of humanity right now. The gender ideologues obviously support every malevolent action people can commit and WOKE clearly destroys everything it touches !! Thanks ,JL. Keep it up ,gut wrenching as it is 💔🤮😭x
London's Museum of Childhood has been captured and false comparisons are again being made between Section 28 and 'the fight for trans rights', in this Instagram post by Bex Wade: https://www.instagram.com/p/CzyPVWYojyM
Yes, everything is 'trans': buildings, history, geography, streets, railways, the grass, trees, all animals, literally everything. All children are really 'trans', all females and all males - they just won't admit it. God is 'trans', and so is the Devil, except he is bisexual, but that's 'trans', too, as is homosexual and lesbian. Some 'trans' are more 'trans' than others.
Totally...and now Tyne & Wear football clubs are 'trans'...and 'queer' and happy to be bought by murderous homophobes while excommunicating a lifelong lesbian supporter. It's great that Newcastle United F.C. is so 'inclusive' with its immorality.
Did anyone else see the clip of the guy telling Tucker than the explosion in transitioning and 'gender-affirming care' was directly a result of Obamacare? It's not surprising he snuck that in there.
FFS. There just aren’t enough 🤬😡😳🤮 (and repeat) of these to adequately express my anger, fury, disgust and sheer horror. Why, why why, is this still happening? Where is the outrage? Why is a football club policing someone’s opinions? Why are so many repulsive, narcissistic blobs being feted and appeased? The NHS is a disgrace for caving in to the bullies as are the sports federations, to the point of putting a woman’s life at risk!! As for the teachers who are deliberately damaging children…. there are no words. Please, please someone make it make sense. I can’t say thanks JL but you know what I mean.
Yeah... I know what you mean, TT.
Why is it always about the man's feelings, these creeps are monstrous.
The gender cult is all about what men what. Demands for Trans Rights are not about rights, they are demands for misogynistic men to have and do whatever they want, irrespective of the impact it makes on anyone else. They don't care if women are harmed, or if the psychological and physical health of minors is damaged. They don't care, that's it, and it's not possible to effectively communicate or negotiate with people who care only about themselves.
There are more men than women in positions of authority, they have the power to make decisions which have damaging consequences for women. They don't have to be concerned about or vaguely interested in trans politics, or the list of demands of trans identified males, they just don't like women very much. They can see that what they are cooperating with and giving their concent to is eroding women's rights, it is restricting women's freedoms, taking away women's spaces and putting women's safety in danger. It is abuse, and it begins at the top and runs through every layer of authority; the political, legal, education and health systems, everything. If it wasn't so, the privileges and protections given to trans identified men and the organisations that represent them would be inconceivable. It wouldn't happen.
You are so right, Radwha. If this were only female 'trans', they'd have got nowhere. I think that most men know that their sexuality can take them to dark places if they are not careful, and most decent men refuse to go there, but they do understand to some extent those men who do. They will never understand women. The dire mess of maternity care in England, and the closing of local maternity facilities in rural Scotland where some women have to travel hundreds of miles to reach a maternity unit, tell us this very starkly. You are right: it is abuse, and the decisions taken by men need to be balanced by women because we are always harder hit in any economic crisis and cut-backs. I do believe that our human rights, as outlined in the UN, are being breached regularly even in the West, and this 'trans' enabling which allows deviant, perverted men to play out their sickness is part of it.
Unfortunately many weak women go along with it.
Some might be weak, some might genuinely go along with the gender bollocks. But I think there are a lot of young women, perhaps lacking in self assurance, who yield to the pressure being put on them to confirm. It's very likely that they'll change their position not too far down the line, as the putrid, predatory cult they gave their support to, shows them who the real casualties are.
I am raging mad too. We just have to keep pushing back. I pay my annual fee to Free Speech Union just in case but I will start donating to Fair Cop too.
Yes, me too, just in case! Fair Cop are a good option too. If the police come knocking, admit to nothing, don’t let them in, take their pictures and ask what crime has been committed. Giving offence is not against the law.
Same here - every week raging at the absurdity!
Sorry to add to everyone’s stress levels but this has just appeared.

Yet again these malevolent men twisting the premise of safeguarding so they are free to smash the bones of others, of women and girls, to 'safeguard' their own swollen egos. They will use anyone and anything to get their own way. No, no and NO! I wish all these idiotic sporting bodies would get off the fences they all ran away to perch on top of.
Risk assess: one man's poor wee briefly bruised ego versus lifelong harm and disability. Oooh that's a tricky one. FFS.
Did you see the Michael Shellenberger speech on Dusty’s substack- Gladiator, where he explores the psychopathic nature of gender ideology (with advice from Jordan Peterson). He explains how a small group of bullies can get larger groups of people to go along with their insanity.
Not yet - thanks for the heads up.
I have been observing this strange trend for a few years now - groups of often youngish people, their blood up, going out for a fun day out screaming and threatening anyone who crosses their path, including children maybe ten years younger than them, or elderly, families, passers by, anyone. Oh, I mean they are 'protesting'. About anything and everything and often things they know little to nothing about. It seems the thing to do now, to vent all your rage, your bile, your insecurities and unhappiness to random others that you don't see as human as it's easier that way. Spit first, think later. Then I see older people joining in and people really thoroughly enjoying the anonymity of the crowd. It's terrifying.
I’m from the left as most of us seem to be, but it’s the fault of lefty woke intolerance and authoritarianism, which is running rife through our education system and causing so many problems….”I’m right and anyone who disagrees is evil and hateful”.
Yes, that intolerance and authoritarianism. It is a very simplistic and recidivist way of being. Which perturbs me. I would have said I was left of centre too. Everything seems to have shifted every which way. And it's not just that I am older. It's the glee with which kids I knew 15 years ago are now real agitprop nasty obsessed adults in their 20s and above all demanding and violent. Their way or the highway. I knew one who hit the headlines recently for some nasty things he said. Totally clueless. What happened? Supposedly intelligent people at our finest Universities? Not realising that not everyone thinks the same as them? That if you spout ignorant and offensive statements that you will get pushback. You will incite hatred. You can't offer an apology and row back from that so easily. What actual equality means, not this EDI smokescreen for yet more privilege? That they are promoting not fighting against hatred? I hope he regrets that and has learnt from it but I'm not sure as there is this entrenched self-assurance. Are people not advising them, or do they ignore everything?
I share your pain. It’s all completely mad. Sickening.
If these newsletters could published in the mainstream press there would be mass peaking and a huge public backlash. There is power in the disgust generated by these stories. But how to harness it?
Thanks JL, i mean there’s so much horror here as usual. I think a man has to be a special kind of arsehole to get into a ring with a woman to fight her. I think you have to be a special kind of arsehole to stage it and not tell the female athletes the truth.
To pretend that, that man fighting a women, in a ring is some how sport! Its not sport, its sadistic entertainment. It’s a fucking pervert’s dream come true. It is. Why do they have weight categories in boxing if not to protect different body types from each other. in canada do male boxers in the fly weight category get dropped in with the heavy weights? does the heavy weight have a right to destroy the fly weight because of how he’s feeling?
What pisses me off time and time again and i’m sure everyone is the same, but all this stuff we read….. we invite scrutiny and invite people to call JL and GL and all the others out. Fucking prove they are lying or making it up! defend your position! prove i am wrong! Fucking prove it! I want them to dissect what we read and prove to me that the arguments against gender ideology are wrong, and i’m wrong. I’ll happily change my position if they can convince me.
But they won’t defend it, and no one seems to care. All the leaders, nhs, businesses, media etc. Why don’t they want to know if what we read here is true? Surely it matters if children are receiving ideologically lead medical treatment. How is that not worth investigating? so upsetting. Just relentless frustration and anger and sadness. Sorry long rang.
Rant away, CB. It's a horror show, I know...
Thanks JL, out of respect to someone here who didn’t like my choice of words i stopped using this particular word. But he’s definitely one, that guy who wants a legitimate platform to hit women. What a f-ing bastard
His next opponent should be a polar bear that identifies as a woman.
😂
Ha ha! oh thanks MG, thats made me laugh out loud which i needed. I get a bit carried away in the comments which i apologise for, but i just think well i’m venting but people can just ignore me.
Stick it in a French maid outfit, slap some bright red lippy on it and nobody could deny it's feminity even if it did rip his face off and eat his tongue.
I love this update on voting for the leopards eating people's faces party. Thank you for the much-needed laugh :-)
Don’t apologise for ranting. You’re writing what we’re all feeling. It’s very heartening to know that others are just as pissed as me at this crap. I just keep my comments short to stop me from throwing my phone at the wall! 😆
Or a male, silverback gorilla in a frock who could tear him limb from limb.
No need to apologise. I’m the same. Off I go and before I know it, it’s War and Peace. I look forward to your diatribes CB. Most excellent. Keep ‘em coming. Very valid points made too. The hypocrisy of the Boxing Body is off the scale. Protect featherweight men but women are fair game? Beyond outrageous. I’m in my 60s and it is only now I fully appreciate the level of misogyny out there. Not just men either. The women supporting this shit have to be misogynists too.
I was just thinking that, these organisations are literally sanctioning and enabling/platforming violence against women. There is a valid place where a man can go assault a woman. Terrifying. Masquerading as sport. So upsetting. And the choice for women- stop doing what you want or take it. Sorry Susan. I know you know all this. I use these rants to clarify my own thoughts. I know you know all these things. All the best.
It's the Colosseum, cb, without the gladiators. Just the wild beasts and the Christians.
I’ve just had a long phone call with an old school pal who has had serious issues with hypertension and we have to agree not to speak of this subject, the incompetence of Scottish politicians, the aMiddle East or Ukraine. Since we both have a lot to say about everything the stress of not ranting is nearly as bad as if we did rant.
Marion , I kid you not we had an email about not giving Ukrainians toy guns as Xmas gifts (from the fb ) fine I’ll give them to all else , didn’t bother to ask about drones or tanks

Good old Python. Wouldn’t be made nowadays.
JL is right, rant away, we all need to rant and eventually many more people will join in, but it won't be in the void. It will be to the people responsible for such egregious abuse, and eventually they will be answerable for their crimes.
cb: I think actually hurting females is a big part of the pleasure for them. I know that seems harsh, but I do believe it is the truth. Too many men get a huge kick out of harming women for it not to be true. It is simply that we cannot face it, or I should say, most males cannot face up to that truth about their own sex. I listened some time ago now to a psychologist who admitted that, when it was a woman who came to see him, and she was very vulnerable, he had to check himself not to hurt her with cruel put-downs. I cannot recall his name, but I remember being horrified. He said that he never felt the same compulsion when it was a man he was seeing, and he felt that this was part of the male psyche - power and control over others, usually women and children. I have also read about the treatment meted out to very damaged 'trans' 'widows' by marriage counsellors and psychologists, and even divorce lawyers. We just cannot seem to be able to face up to the realities about male-female relationships, and I am not claiming that women are angels, but, proportionally, we just do not have that same impulse to harm.
Applying this to healthcare and the obvious power imbalances that are core to patient interaction - add in another layer of 'being an expert' and deference to that.
Depending on the context - if you are in a heated discussion and even argument with another adult there are still rules and what is your purpose - to shred the other person? To see a weakness and leap on it? I learned quite early on that a vicious put down was possible but not wise and how it feels for me, so don't do it or with extreme caution. Professionally it should get you struck off. I can defend myself, but many people seem to jump on weaknesses or barely pay attention to the fact it's another human being they are interacting with. Isn't that about empathy and looking ahead - you then have to deal with the consequences of seeing someone's weakness or something they are sensitive about and having the nous, the awareness, the empathy to not go there, no matter how strongly you feel or how much your own ego or sense of self is challenged. That seems the chip or bit missing now in many interactions, online ones and most 'trans' activist ones. The leap to violence and to put someone else down, humiliate and hurt them.
Also really interested in your male psyche point - it's also stark that the 'trans' ideology is and seems to feed off the 'male psyche' - or the most negative aspects of that (or paternalism) and 'strength' and 'power' often meaning demands, threats, violence and destruction as a means to get your way. Many say 'trans' is a male rights movement and when female 'trans' are so often overlooked or conveniently excluded (oh the irony of some forms of exclusion) when that doesn't fit the point they are attempting to make. Then add in what is historically or is termed the 'female psyche'. All of this was torn apart and disembodied to the point reality is argued over.
The current 'trans' movement seems to be presenting as males in female spaces and taking over all female experiences, voices, rights and bodies and female 'trans' individuals negating and denying their female experiences, voices, rights and bodies. So where is the female voice left in all that?
I honestly believe that many, if not most, females will be driven - and not just in the West - to gain strength from all this adversity. That will eventually be the real irony of the movement which is, almost certainly, and almost wholly, a men's sexual rights and social rights, movement. The women and children are the human shield for the be-frocked men.
The backlash, when it comes, and it will come, will send them reeling. A social revolution is coming, as it must, and, this time, it will be female-led and it will lead to far greater female strength and representation. This is how it must be if we are all to survive and to save our planet from certain destruction.
This 'trans' nonsense is men's last gasp before they ruin our planet and the human race forever with their totally out-of-kilter, solely 'masculine' ways of doing things. We need balance, and that has been missing for most of our tenure on this Earth as human beings because men have the power and the control. If many men won't listen, they will be made to listen.
Nothing we can devise as humans can outdo Mother Nature and evolution (which is both male and female, not just male, as Darwin believed) for restoring balance. The social destruction inherent in the exploitation and profit-making principles must stop (as Adam Smith pointed out three hundred years ago).
This really interests me - what, how and why. And how people respond to vulnerability. The word is thrown around a lot now - usually self-described by trans activists to defend themselves when they are attacking others, usually women and girls, or to 'defend' this mythic 'most vulnerable' that anyone self-identifying as 'trans' is automatically categorised as even by judges ruling over rape and child abuse cases. Actual, real, genuine vulnerabilities are now missed or still not addressed. Because someone has a vulnerability it doesn’t preclude them abiding by the law or social norms in other areas.
When I've read research and studied it's hard not to, but also useful to think about my own experience and understanding. Anecdote isn't the plural of data but I can't absent myself from how I experience things. This is also about the 'shared rules' that obviously aren't so shared - how you/we/I learn from childhood that you don't pick on others and weaker people. This is all very childhood and playground and it seems many (maybe our societies) are stuck at those points - not knowing what the rules are for us to all exist together. We learn very early on that we can attack others and that we should not. Bigger people aren't just allowed to hurt smaller people. More so if that person has come to us for help - that's really dangerous power games. Some are physically dominant as are those gifted by society with more power and control over others and we have built rules around that. Many men get a real shock when they are challenged and overpowered (physically, mentally or emotionally) by women. Whether it’s a last resort or first to physically intimidate someone or a battle of the minds (like in your description above). I also am very aware that with men and many admit this, that it's an undercurrent and expectation, that they have this ability in reserve when they need to - the use of physical intimidation or threat when they choose. It’s implied and inherent and with the most unassuming or physically smaller men. That famous, men are worried we'll laugh at them, women are worried men will kill us.
I think it is a sizeable minority of men and I think it stems from their biology, to an extent, but it is no excuse.
I can only wonder! Yes that sizeable minority. Other men who scream and yell, swear, intimidate and insult women in public, for the nerve of existing and being women (and mothers and other verboten terms) are not usually allowed, encouraged or condoned. It's a canny wheeze isn't it. They are like the trans religious police. What other groups of men have to be held back by the police in numbers and are regularly appearing in court for physically assaulting us in groups, in daytime, in public.
I share your pain, CB.
Rant away cb , in fact double rant for me , I’m a bit busy this week !
Some of you might have seen the article about big Foodbank ( before it was quickly pulled ) and the shocking amount of money being spent ‘ not on food ,as we don’t need it ‘ paraphrasing
hi Petal, i haven’t seen it, have they been spending money on things other than food?
Morning cb , o yes sums that you wouldn’t believe , even if the article is only half true . It will be interesting to see the donations this morning from a supermarkets customers if any of them have read it . Absolutely sickening
i’ve seen something just now in the express. It looks bad and could well be. I don’t think the ceo salary is excessive. Head teachers of acedemy chains get more, average ceo of a state funded academy chair is 250 grand. Heads of councils get more. i don’t have an issue with a food bank charity having a coping with debt division. Debt is crippling to loads of people isn’t it and it leads to poverty. Obviously inclusivity training sounds like a grotesque waste of money. The centres will have substantial operational costs. Are all the volunteers drivers not ment to claim for mileage with diesel at 170 a litre. I mean, the express was owned by a fucking pornographer until recently- Richard desmond, don’t know who owns it now but certainly under his ownership i just read everything they wrote and thought, you’re a fucking pornographer so you can go and fuck yourself.
So the express which is massively politically motivated, like well everyone and everything wants to destroy the reputation of a food bank charity and maybe it has some points but i think that particular article needs scrutiny like everything we read.
They may be right. i will search else where and see what others are saying.
how much did they spend and on what?
The foodbank will have to respond to the criticism. See what they say. Its good that charities face scrutiny. Every institution should
If the article is to be believed 18.6 million on inclusivity courses, debt counsellors and advisors
And a further 7.2 million on admin including equality diversity and inclusivity training
25 FUCKING MILLION QUID NOT ON FOOD
It does sound pretty terrible for sure Petal but i’d want to see specific breakdown of their costs. Its a national organisation and they will have large admin costs, but yes it does look like they are taking the piss. They will have to respond and show exactly how they spend donations. Lets see what they say in response. What the fuck do they need inclusivity training for to hand out food.
The OED, always reviewing its definitions, should consider the following change.
Bully (n) Anyone who disagrees with you. Useful descriptor, especially if you are a trans identified mentally deranged man in a dress and you have no real case to make. A tool to shut down debate and discredit the rude person who will just not accept what you say as gospel.
The irony of the German man, Ria Geyet, bullying women to accept him in the ladies toilets and calling the women bullies if they object. The word has lost all meaning due to its ubiquitous application by anyone with a grudge in any situation. We’re all bullies these days, according to the trans identified mentally deranged mob.
The rest was a depressing read although I did actually burst out laughing at the arsonist pretending to be a woman. That wig! It’s not funny really but I couldn’t help myself. Of course that’s a woman, said no-one, ever.
Trying to put a positive spin on it all in my head. I’m hoping that all the light now shining on the madness (Newcastle Football Club - seriously? Have you lost your minds. Hope the woman sues the idiots) is damaging the movement. People are becoming more aware and objecting. MSM is covering more of the idiots. The NHS is a lost cause though. Why spend money on healthcare when you can waste it in the EDI industry.
My award for this week’s Most Deranged prize goes to the nutters at Leeds Let Women Speak. Chanting River to the Sea, another one for the OED, is essentially now a call to exterminate a group, in this case women. Every one of these morons should have been arrested and exposed for the idiots that they are.
Rant over. Phew. Can get on with my day now. Will keep sharing as much as possible. Spreading the word.
Thanks JL. So grateful to Graham. So much of this would remain hidden but for this stellar effort to expose the crazy. At great personal expense.
I’m liking this article but I also bloody hate it. I can not believe that this is happening. What world are we living in??! Why won’t it end?! 😤 🤬
Thanks for your amazing work as ever, JL, bringing us these horror stories!!
It is always unfair and often dangerous for men to compete in women's sports but a boxing federation allowing a male boxer to compete against women really brings us to a new level of insanity.
It is really frustrating when papers that are otherwise sympathetic to our gender critical arguments such as the Daily Mail then use preferred pronouns!!
Really shocking to watch that school video and seeing the children in the process of being indoctrinated!! As reported by WRN the school is in St Albans area and WRN Herts and Cambridge have volunteered to talk to any concerned parents. The teacher with her faux sweet voice reminds me of Michelle Forcier , the 'do chickens cry?' woman from the Matt Walsh film. Glad to note that Ms Forcier is currently being sued in America by a detransitioner. I just reported on the school yesterday in fact :
https://dustymasterson.substack.com/p/alien-3
Get these external providers out of schools, government!!!
Thanks as ever, JL. Bring on the GNS!!
Dusty
I’ve often wondered why they use female pronouns too. Could it be to avoid litigation?
Hi TT
I don't think IPSO insist on pronouns any longer? From their current sex and gender identity guidance:
• The press should not make pejorative or prejudicial reference
to an individual’s sex or gender identity.
• Journalists may use various methods to ensure coverage of sex
and gender identity is accurate. These may include, but are not
limited to, providing information, presenting different opinions
where relevant, and approaching second sources.
• Journalists should consider whether information about an
individual’s gender identity is genuinely relevant to an article.
Examples of relevance could be where a quote needs to be
contextualised or to explain the inclusion of a source.
• Language relating to gender and identity is nuanced.
Journalists should take care not to publish inaccurate and
misleading information.
JL?
Dusty
Thanks Dusty. So by those standards….using female pronouns for a male, is publishing inaccurate and misleading information. They are breaking the rules. This is particularly offensive to women when a crime has been committed.
If I ever go to court my prefered pronoun will be The Innocent Man!
Mine are ‘ocks’ and ‘bill’
😎
Dusty
Boll!!!
Predictive text spoilt my joke 🤪
Mine will be TERF. I will demand it. Despite the fact this is the first time in my life (60s) I have ever got involved in anything remotely political I’m up for the fight.
I don’t see why the guidance could not be interpreted in that way, TT
Dusty
Oh gawd. Will this BS ever end? How anyone can think any of this is ok is beyond me. I'm effing raging. It's pure narcissim and fetishism every bloody time. Look at that boxer - no irony in his comments talking about trust? Was he going to pull his blows? I doubt it. He would have pummelled that poor woman to an inch of her life. And that hiddeous "writer" who, let's face it is just putting out propaganda normalising violence against women who won't comply with a dangerous ideology. Why aren't the police interviewing him? Why are they liaising with a football club over a fan's personal and legal comments in contravention of the law they are meant to uphold? If you contrast these two cases you can see that the police are basically the strong arm for gender ideology. It's f***ing messed up.
Absolutely. The police are acting like the enforcement arm of Stonewall.
Oh go on, I’ll say it the Stonewall Stasi
Dusty
Twin rainbow lightning-bolts as their insignia.
😂
I'm deeply worried about -especially after having read Rough Crowd about how they seem happy to harass law abiding citizens on behalf of criminals. And that cop with fetish involving young boys should not be let anywhere near a school.
What is so odd is that many of them are coming across as not very bright, not very well-versed in the law, then oddly intransigent digging in on positions that they then are unsurprisingly forced to admit are wrong, then make the same errors repeatedly and seem incapable of learning even in their own best interests. And will drag their heels. And it keeps happening. They appear to be repeatedly targeting and harassing individuals. Some of the 'advice' they have been giving their own officers and on the use of social media is totally barmy. And they seem aggressively affronted when reasonably challenged.
I have had recent contact and was really surprised at the twaddle a civvy member of staff was spouting with remarkable confidence. Who is training these people? And in what? I knew he was wrong and I politely asked if he was sure. That's really troubling when very many members of an organisation seem to instinctively make it up as they go along and use the power of their uniform or organisation to give that cover. We need them so that we can feel safe and that is in doubt for many of us.
I am in the US, and i cannot picture law enforcement going along with Stonewall-esque bullshit. I can picture them ignoring women’s issues and all manner of mistakes in policing, but not believing and enforcing gender bullshit. know a lot of law enforcement officers through my job and I generally like them, but they tend to be rather cynical in my experience. Does anyone else find it weird that so many UK police seem to be so accepting of wild leftist ideologies?
A genius strategy there from the Scottish government - their last leader made an utter knob of herself trying to explain why a rapist belongs in a woman's prison, so obviously they introduce a "50 point action plan" to address issues which the majority of voters understand to be potentially-dangerous, made-up nonsense. Maybe they can make it easier for Adam Graham to access the women's toilets when he gets out of prison. Ballot box gold.
It's like a cult getting defeated by reality and concluding that they're just not chanting hard enough.
Activists everywhere, all so smug about their ‘virtue’. I really hope more of the public is getting thoroughly sick of this, and raising their voices & complaining (to the schools, main stream media, politicians). We can make the effort to praise the realists & challengers, and complain about the loons!
Isn't it strange? I listened to the news tonight and someone was cogitating on the effect that living under constant stress, control, powerlessness and so on can lead to an explosion of feeling and violence, as occurred in Gaza. They were talking about men, of course, and never seem to apply the same rationale to women's situation. We live our entire lives as the sex that is usually powerless, under control and under constant stress from one source or another. The thing that saves men from our wrath is our comparable lack of strength, I think, and our more passive nature as a sex, and I shudder to think of the vengeance we would wreak if we ever overcame our sex nature. Don't get me wrong: I am advocating no such thing; but, if I were one of these sadistic men, I'd think twice about hurting women.
In the context of the Middle East, where in many countries the law of the land is women have no power, we’re supposed to be understanding of men’s explosions of feeling and violence, to the degree of the hideous sexual violence on October 7. Sometimes I can’t believe how naive I was when I was younger.
All this sometimes makes me think I’m a lone voice in a sea of madness then I look at the comments here and on many other publications and sites and know that I’m definitely one of the majority. Why is it that in the 21st century it’s still all about what men want and fuck women - and indeed many of them want to do that too!
April Hutchinson is an example of what happens in Canada to female athletes who speak up against male competitors. She is a powerlifter who was banned for 2 years after criticizing TIM in a sport that is about pure strength. TIM 40 year old Anne Andre's set a new national record that was more than 400 pounds higher than his closest opponent all the while ridiculing female competitors.
It's obvious that female sports has become the de facto prize for middle aged failed narcissistic male athletes who have nothing to prove regarding their athletic prowess and everything about their cheating unsportsmanlike behaviour. It's no coincidence that the vile Rachel McKinnon/Veronica Ivy is also Canadian.
Canada is basically Tranada nowadays, a lost cause!
It seems that everyone from our politicians, academia, educational institutions, Sports Federations, government sponsored media, entertainment, and medical professionals are all pushing a hard line on supporting trans ideology. Our TRA are particularly vocal, visible, and vile.
Sounds absolutely unbearable Ella. Australia is just about as bad so I hear from friends and family. Come and join us on "Terf Island!" 😜🤪
Thanks Allison, I'm tempted, but I've never run away from a fight especially when the rights of women and children are involved.
Hear Hear!! But please know, you are always very welcome to come say hello to some friendly faces :-)
It shocks me that this is still happening despite years of push back. Those 'sporting bodies' have laid out the red carpet for these men and they wouldn't have attempted it, then kept on attempting it without their tacit and then overt support for them. They clearly always were hugely misogynistic and women were only ever a token inclusion into what they still deem as a male space. So it wasn't that hard for the token uhming and ahhing resistance to be totally bulldozed. It must be a terrible realisation for those women who excelled in these sports and dedicated years of their lives. We are going backwards not making progress. I am furious and feel desperate for the current and future generations of women in sport. I think I will watch the 'no thank you' video again for some inspiration.
I always knew the IOC was very sexist, but I never knew until recently that seemingly all sports governing bodies see women’s sports as a bunch of amateurs playing for participation trophies, and that even the amateur leagues playing for participation trophies don’t give a shit about women and girls.
I guessed I had hoped it wasn't but yes, the depths are a surprise. I had a male relative involved with IOC stuff and male relatives who were involved with amateur and professional sports. One was far more encouraging of me than the others and not as cutthroat - despite being the same generation. There were the same shenanigans you see at FIFA and apparently the corruptions with all elite sport. Silly money and a lot of silly egos chasing that money and power. My male cousins still talk over me now despite me having competed and they have never seen me as a equal and never will - I'm just a silly girl. I still think back very fondly to my coaches; the men and women who encouraged and supported us year after year. I was glad to see Seb Coe eventually come out with fairly strident comments.
Another uncle used to film major sports events. I tried to talk to him about golf once when I was about 8 years old and he literally shut me up as it's 'for men' (like the above mentioned relative who used to do a lot of business on or around the courses). He laughed and mocked me another time. I tried a few more times and he was equally as disparaging. So I learnt and got to play golf through others and as an adult. I couldn't play with the men through work (men only) or a few other times 'socially'. By the time I did meet someone willing to invite me along it turns out I was accidentally quite good but the whole 'culture' put me off so I didn't keep practising. The men I was playing with started as children, their dads took them, then they carried on, seeing the same faces for the next twenty, thirty years.
When I was approached by the senior men of a Royal blah golf club as an adult and asked to join and my thoughts on how to encourage women and anyone vaguely under 30 to join I thought nah chaps, you carry on as you are. Get your subs and new members some other way.
I hope something is being done about Northumbria Police and Newcastle United Football club both should be dealt with.
I think Fair Cop are on it 😎
Fair Cop are brilliant! Thank goodness for them, this substack and the people on the messages or I would be well and truly LETHAL after reading today's update.
Perhaps the worst aspect is that the NHS the Police our schools and universities are deeply infiltrated with this nonsense. Our freedom of speech our rights our democracy is under serious threat.
I've been trying to think about Trans-identified-males muscling their way into female sports. Their first line of justification is 'Inclusivity' -which they can get away with, if the sport governing body has been captured by TRAs, who have put an Inclusivity Policy into place. Maybe it'd be good for us to highlight the Insurance Costs, were women to be seriously injured by males- insurance loss adjustors would surely use that as a loophole to avoid payng out compensation (oh, well obvs we don't cover injuries caused by MALES...) This could undermine the finances- some TRAs won't care, but others in the governing bodies might start to pay attention if they could be sued- as an organisation- or even, personally...? Or just the info that female participants are NOT protected, could peak some players to refuse to particiapte. And BTW, how about a 'Duty of Care' by the sport? Could legal action help shine a light on this area? (As a man, I've tried to avoid butting in, and suggesting females should boycott their own sports- but it looks to me like that is what must happen temporarily, to protect your female-only places. Biological males have absolutely no place competing in 'female' sports.)
Please butt in, we need every voice. And you’re right, women need to boycott their own sports. It’s beyond me that so many go along with the insanity, although there are a few examples of sane sports women who lose out on sporting success rather than comply.
Yes, refuse to take part if faced with a male competitor, but walk away after registering your protest in the strongest terms - to the media. If the match is being televised or filmed in any way that could end up going viral, scream it from the bottom of your lungs: I WILL NOT INJURE MYSELF PLAYING AGAINST A MALE. WHEN FEATHER-WEIGHT MALE BOXERS ARE PITTED AGAINST HEAVY-WEIGHT MALE BOXERS, I MIGHT CHANGE MY MIND. I fear that female sports will just be defunded and ignored if the women do not go public in a very loud and determined way.
Just more evil to enrage me. Every single one of these horror stories had me shouting at the walls yet again !! Not only am I furious at the TRAs but at the organisations which show their abject cowardice by supporting these misogynistic lunatics. It comes as NO SURPRISE that they also support HAMAS ,who carried out the most stomach churning horrific attacks on the Israeli people ,including women ,children and babies ! What will it take for the authorities to WAKE UP to the evil they're enabling ? I really despair of humanity right now. The gender ideologues obviously support every malevolent action people can commit and WOKE clearly destroys everything it touches !! Thanks ,JL. Keep it up ,gut wrenching as it is 💔🤮😭x
London's Museum of Childhood has been captured and false comparisons are again being made between Section 28 and 'the fight for trans rights', in this Instagram post by Bex Wade: https://www.instagram.com/p/CzyPVWYojyM
Yes, everything is 'trans': buildings, history, geography, streets, railways, the grass, trees, all animals, literally everything. All children are really 'trans', all females and all males - they just won't admit it. God is 'trans', and so is the Devil, except he is bisexual, but that's 'trans', too, as is homosexual and lesbian. Some 'trans' are more 'trans' than others.
Totally...and now Tyne & Wear football clubs are 'trans'...and 'queer' and happy to be bought by murderous homophobes while excommunicating a lifelong lesbian supporter. It's great that Newcastle United F.C. is so 'inclusive' with its immorality.
Did anyone else see the clip of the guy telling Tucker than the explosion in transitioning and 'gender-affirming care' was directly a result of Obamacare? It's not surprising he snuck that in there.
