Contrary to popular belief, misogyny has always been hiding in plain sight in the hard left of the Labour Party; now it's just ended the pretence of hiding.
You won't find a more obnoxious misogynist than Gerry Healy.
Jeezus that was a depressing read - I dont understand why any self respecting women is still paying for membership of the Labour party when they cant be clearer how much they hate us - and Cohen's interview must never be repeated so must always have a the cult in charge of any T shite broadcast?
I resigned my membership for this very reason and told them so in detail. I did get a response but there was no mention of my reason for resigning. I am now (party) politically homeless as I imagine many others are.
Same, Sarah. I rescinded my membership a few years ago (having been a member since I was a student). Politically homeless and subscribing to The Times. 20 year old me would be horrified!

Thank you, Lizzy! And, yes, that brass neck is breath-taking. And the conflation of TIMs with the struggles of black women is utterly enraging. The bloody nerve.
Stonewall is stuck in the proverbial rock and a hard place with that Cohen interview. Why didn't they send an actual trans person to speak on their behalf? They can't very send one of the raving misogynist TW types and the sane ones don't seem to agree with the mantras and recognise the importance of biological sex so...🤷
Haha! Very true. "Who will we send...? Beardy Alex or the one who's always banging on about lesbian's knickers...?" "Um... I wonder if Ben might be free?"
Thank you, SeenBeen. My late dad once said of me, "She's got balls of steel, my little girl" (I was in my 30s!) & I honestly think it's my favourite compliment!
That's so disgusting, the abuse of women's rights. We still have men who think we can just "hold it" like when we need to urinate. How dare he make it even more difficult for women's health concerns to be taken seriously in the workplace.
Yeah, that period one really makes me sick. Imagine being such a narcissist that you co-opt women's health issues just to get attention ffs. And since when is it a hate crime to tell a person without a uterus that he's biologically incapable of having period pain? Women need to stand up to this shit.
YouTube has a video discussing another trans athlete, US BMX cyclist I think called Chelsea something, who hopes to medal at the upcoming Olympics so he can burn the American flag as a protest. Dude, they've let you compete, what TF else do you WANT!!!???
Ah yes. Chelsea Wolfe (in sheep's clothing...?) who featured on this very site a few weeks ago. He's bound to win cos, bloke. If he burns the flag I doubt it'll win him any sympathy!
What the hell is he protesting by burning the flag? I have no problem with someone burning a piece of cloth, but what does this overprivileged dude need to protest? I'm old enough to remember how the black Olympians in '68 were treated after raising their fists in a black power salute, and they did have something to protest. Maybe, Loretta, he's planning to protest if he doesn't win every event in every category.
Seriously, where is their limit? I can't see it. For the moment, women don't react with violence. And we have to remain non violent because, like Nazy, they are looking for reason to kill us without being blamed. I really really think they will organise something to proove the HAVE to beat us. For God sake, I hope it will not arrive to that. But... Too much silence, too much cowards, too much blindness... Where is the end of this escalade?
Too much silence, couldn't agree more. That spa video illustrates it so well. People crowding in the corridor to gawp and stare, probably stifling a giggle at women being forced to share intimate spaces with intact predatory males.
Quite right it is another provocation in order to shift blame onto their victims. Women and often children. Totally corrupt and the usual irresponsibility.

True dat. All the time & money I lavished on the Labour Party in the past... Shoulda voted Monster Raving Loony & saved myself all the bother

Yes it's been a tough week. But look how women are fighting back! And there's a good news version on the way which might cheer you up! xx

These emails are so thorough, I am not sure how you maintain your attention to detail.
That said, if you need a break just say you have a period pain.
Thank you so much, Louise! Really appreciate your kind words. And if I have period pain I just self-medicate with gin...
But JL has more metaphorical balls than to let a period stop her. Unlike that person who was born with actual balls

He didn't think this through, he should've just self-identified as a gold medalist.
SNORT!
This saga has the added egregiousness of him being a paralympian, if I recall. Even the disabled are fair game these days 😕
You thinking of this one?

That's the one 👍
Absolutely no shame.
Yeah, the Italian cheating runner rather than the American cheating BMX rider.
