A Week in the War on Women: Monday 1st January - Sunday 7th January GOOD NEWS SUPPLEMENT
A handful of the good news stories from the gender beat this week. Enjoy!
To Sir, With Love
Last week we reported on teacher, Kevin Lister, who was sacked from his job and permanently barred from the profession for expressing concerns about validating a pupil’s ‘gender identity’.
The good news is that Kevin is not taking this lying down and is planning to fight gender ideology in the education system. Not only is he taking his case to the Bristol Employment Tribunal of the 18th March, he is launching a judicial review to appeal the DBS decision which saw him permanently barred from the teaching profession.
If you would like to make a contribution to his fundraising page, you can do so here.
Raise a Chapeau to Chappelle
Comedy legend, Dave Chappelle, continues to challenge and highlight the lunacy of gender ideology in his latest stand-up special.
Chappelle begins his new Netflix special, The Dreamer, by comparing gender ideology with having to pretend that an actor really is the character he is playing. He later drew attention to California’s absurd self-ID prison policy. “God forbid I ever go to jail”, he said. “But if I do, I hope it’s in California. Soon as the judge sentences me, I’ll be like, ‘Before you sentence me, I want the court to know I identify as a woman.’”
Guys, No Dolls
There is a great new initiative for GC gay men.
Human Gay Male is a new source of community for gay men that will soon be launching the first of a series of free social events. The first event is on Friday 26th January in London but the group will be branching out further afield very soon.
“If you’re a gay man who believes in reality, then sign up to the mailing list for more details about upcoming events and related news.”
The Future is Rosie
The redoubtable Rosie Duffield MP has issued a statement about the preposterous Labour Party investigation into her alleged anti-Semitism and transphobia.
In November we reported that Rosie Duffield was being investigated for alleged antisemitism and transphobia after she ‘liked’ Graham’s tweet criticising Eddie Izzard’s attempt to appropriate the Holocaust. As a result, she did not appear on the party’s approved list of candidates to stand at the next general election.
This week Rosie Duffield has issued a statement that the allegations have been dismissed in full by the NEC, there is no case to answer and she has been completely exonerated. Consequently, she expects to be confirmed as the Labour Party candidate for Canterbury very soon.
As Joanna Williams, writing in The Spectator, so rightly says, “The only person who emerges from Labour’s NEC investigation with a shred of integrity is Duffield herself”.
Thank you for your strength and courage, Rosie. Love and solidarity to you.
Fair Play to Fair Play For Women
Fair Play For Women have co-ordinated a letter from seventeen UK campaign groups to UN Women and UN Women UK protesting the appointment of trans-identified male and serial misogynist, Monroe Bergdorf, as an ambassador for women.
Furthermore, their protest action was reported in The Times in this week.
And Jo Bartosch wrote a blistering piece in The Telegraph about the lunacy of Bergdorf’s appointment.
“Perhaps UN Women UK couldn’t find any candidates of the traditional, biologically female kind for the role of UK Champion. How else are we to explain the selection of Munroe Bergdorf, the divisive transgender activist and model who infamously dubbed the suffragettes ‘white supremacists’? …The reputation of UN Women UK has been sullied. Like its namesake, it appears to be less interested in defending human dignity and the rights of women than in signalling support for divisive activism.”
They See Her Rowling…
Despite the best efforts of trans activists to have her ‘cancelled’, JK Rowling’s work remains incredibly popular and profits are soaring.
Rowling's renowned Harry Potter series and affiliated Wizarding World titles, saw profits rise substantially in 2023. The figures rose to £9.4 million, marking a substantial increase from the previous year’s £5.7 million.
Sorry, fellas.
Thanks for the good news, JL. Did you hear about Rachael Meade, who won a landmark case about gender critical opinions being legal under the Equality Act? Fabulous news. There’ll be lots more cases after this
JL to the rescue. Just as the bad news claws at your throat she gives us an escape with the good news. Thanks JL. Incidentally Coming up for air by George Orwell is currently being serialised on BBC Radio 4. The terminally woke BBC still entertains me on radio I must admit.
