I work in the NHS and am a member of Unison. Just wondering how I can make my disapproval felt. Calling his own members bigots because they don't want a man watching them getting undressed 😡 The world's gone mad.
I guess you could write to complain about North's public comments about an ongoing legal case. Maybe ask them why they're not backing these nurses who are fighting for their legal rights and is it UNISON's position that women are not entitled to single sex changing and bathing areas in the workplace?? Make em squirm!!
Queer Theory/ gender ideology…..invented by Marxists and paedophiles in order to disrupt and destroy society, normalise fetish including paedophilia, sexualise and indoctrinate children and drive a wedge between parent and child, cause chaos in order to provide excuses for state control. When are the cowards, the sheep, the virtue signallers going to wake up or do they just not care enough to look, listen and learn? None of us on here had to be spoon fed the facts. We all took the time and trouble. Why not them?
Queer Theory and Gender Ideology are a blight on society and a danger to those who fall under their spell. However, in a recent essay Helen Pluckrose marshals a number of arguments why the woke, who include the intellectual architects of Queer Theory and gender ideology, are not Marxists.
Thanks for the link Ollie. I’ve heard her arguments but I’m not convinced. The Marxist link goes way back to the Frankfurt school where they realised they weren’t going to get a revolution in the West and had to find a way to embed left wing thinking across society by infiltrating organisations with people they trained for the media and education, and do it behind the language of kindness, equality, inclusion. The idea is often called the Long March Through the Institutions. I agree that it’s big business which is profiting from it all but they’re just doing what comes naturally, they’re not pushing an ideology. And I agree that it was big money which turbo charged the embedding of the ideology through the LGB charities which were going broke when gay marriage came in. Transhumanists and big pharma provided grants as long as the T was added and pushed everywhere. The left are acting as the useful idiots of big business and of course, it suits authoritarian left wing govts to push social justice ideology because it gives them excuses to bring in legislation and state control. As a Labour member of nearly 40 years it gives me no pleasure to say this but the left is being led by the nose by the extreme left /Marxists and by doing so, is aiding and abetting big business to make profit. Either way, it’s evil whoever is pushing it. I suppose the Mussolini quote would fit here ‘ Fascism should rightly be called corporatism as it’s the merger of corporate and govt power’. Except the way has been paved by Marxist ideology. What a bloody mess they’ve created….. all greedy for power and money.
As an ex UNISON Shop steward I'm not surprised by what's going on. Even before I left it 2020 I could see they had been captured by identity politics and no longer fit for purpose.
i noticed that my son was different to other children so instead of accepting the child God or natural selection gave me i mutilated my son’s body until he was the child i wanted.
Ghoulish, isn't it. Her (now ex) husband must be a piece of work, too. Sounds like a knuckle dragging homophobe who thinks men should look like Desperate Dan.
what right does a human being have to change another human being? to fit who’s standards? to make ‘normal’? its just so horrible. Like eugenics. Just awful and immoral. Susie green would have used eugenics to avoid having her son. i think every child is the rarest most beautiful gift.
she should be in prison. I can’t see how she is anything other than a mass child abuser. Her and those doctors. I want to recognise the efforts and dedication you put into these posts but they are really upsetting. I’m too soft for this world JL.
thanks JL, i always tell myself not to read them, and then i do. Its good to know whats going on. Maybe i should just read them and keep my mouth shut- until Petal turns up at least. In the bath now with a beer so calmed down a bit now. Have a lovely week
that sounds like a good idea JL, i would ‘t have to keep getting out to go to the fridge- although i’m not mad keen on drinking the fall out from my body. Fall out- yuk- sorry that sounds minging
If it helps at all, they follow a pattern. I too find it hard to read these, but feeling like I know what is coming helps. I know I will often feel physically sick. Dazed and stunned. I will feel angry, enraged and revolted, often scared and confused that all this is being allowed to happen. I will feel intensely grateful for Glinner and JL working so hard to expose all this so we have the facts and knowledge to counter it. I will therefore feel courage and hope to fight this patent nonsense. Play the game of gender bullshit bingo (have a sip of tea or comforting beverage of your choice as you read). There will be one of the following if not a full house in almost every update in the WoW, so tick them off as you go:
- at least one man, but usually an Alien style pod full, who is known to have committed a(nother) crime, often against children and women, often with a long history of previous violent criminality, who is assuming a gender 'identity' which allows him further access to us, then also in women's prison where he will likely be referred to using female terms during his time in the criminal justice process and in all media outlets bar a few who still know what truth and reality are (if in the US then the civil liberties lot will be fighting tooth and nail for his rights and his access to women prisoners, children, anyone vulnerable, and of course makeup, bras, panties and early release)
- a politician or two will have said and done something stupid and be pushing for and succeeded with a change to legislation (often in support of criminals like the ones above)
- women and men who know what women and men are will be harassed, threatened and deplatformed
- the head of a organisation (often with a membership structure) that spouts about rights will be spouting total crap about the rights of men to invade the space and rights of girls and women whose rights are somehow up for grabs
- girls at school and women at work will be taking cases to court to fight for our endlessly fought over minimal and basic rights
- gender zealots will push for men in women's sports
- historical revisionism, rewriting and bold claims that can be easily countered with facts and evidence will be pushed as facts and evidence
- Susie Green and her band of merry eunuchmakers will have some brand new wheeze to get round laws
- a TRA and non-binary saint will be making headlines demanding their rights/threatening women and girls/pretending to be a victim/being revealed as breaking the law again, often with stashes of child abuse materials, often again and again, much to no one's surprise
- activist medics and their pharma brethren will be reducing safeguards and increasing profits worldwide
- something bizarre in some educational establishment which defies belief from ignorant and aggressive staff/students demanding their ideology is followed
- an advertising campaign will promote and celebrate how wonderful a woman is who is obviously a man
- we will all be schooled in how it is inclusive, equal and fair to let men take women's rights and spaces
- our state institutions will be made to look like fools in pushing this
- lawmakers and those with responsibility and the authority to ensure safeguards are in place will be immensely shocked and saddened that all of the above is happening...every week...
thanks Petal, so glad you are having such a great time with little Petal. nothing wrong with having a bit of white hair, its the natural aging process of a human being and should be celebrated i reckon what with me being a bit of a hippy i guess. Plus all those digitally altered pictures people make of themselves bless em, its not real is it. I reckon you are 100 percent real Petal. And also 100 percent brilliant
So how much is Green making from her dodgy company? I should think her "perseverance" owes a lot to puberty blockers making her (and others like her who come over all sanctimonious) immensely rich.
I think to a large extent the trans cult is driven by the big pharma corps. SO much money to be made by turning people into lifelong medical patients from an early age, flogging them expensive surgeries and making them reliant on synthetic hormones.
Well done to Wes Streeting meeting with the brave Darlington 5 but now he needs to take action - fine words butter no parsnips.
I think Unison members should resign. Hit them in the pocket. Steve North is a misogynist and a homophobe. He belongs in a different century. We could do with some gender critical trade unions being set up!
Sadly, even though UNISON might be misogynistic, utterly captured and run by unbearable dolts, resigning from one's trade union isn't always possible or advisable. I am provided with public liability insurance through my union membership, for example, which is vital for me as I am freelance. And one never knows when one might need the help/support of a union should something unexpected happen. Or in the event of industrial action etc...
the unions used to all be institutionally racist too. I think the left- although i am prettt left, can be pretty self righteous and uncompromising in their beliefs.
Point taken JL though in terms of help and support people might be better off joining the FSU. I still feel we could do with some alternative unions though obviously that is easier said than done.
Meant to add that I watched a compilation of German self ID demos around the world and London ( which I was at) was far and away the biggest. Go, Terf Island!!! 😊
While the slogan was hugely inappropriate and tone deaf, I'm not entirely convinced it was driven by gender zealotry. I read it as an inane (and unsuccessful!) attempt to be clever and literary (like the book - and, later, film - "Bright Young Things"). Or perhaps I'm crediting them with more discernment than they deserve! 😁
There is no chance JL that a light hearted reference to the twenties and thirties Bright Young Things would mean anything at all to todays girls. M&S zealots knew exactly what they were doing but they didn’t get away with it.
I honestly don't think this had anything to do with gender. I think it was a very clumsy attempt by someone in the marketing dept to sound cool/clever. The phrase 'young thing' has often been applied to girls/young women in the past. For eg 'Sweet Young Thing' is a song by Carole King, 'Pretty Young Thing' is the title of a 2022 film directed by Tilde Harkamp and a Michael Jackson song... It's a phrase in common parlance. I think this M&S slogan 'fearless young thing' was just yet another drop in the ocean of the objectification of women. Completely tasteless and regressive, but old fashioned sexism, not related to the promotion of gender ideology in my view.
You're perfectly entitled to disagree, Petal! 😊 But you won't persuade me, I'm afraid. For a start, the phrases 'young thing' or 'little thing' are have long been in common usage and almost always applied to girls. For example, there is a clothing brand aimed at adolescent girls called Pretty Little Thing, there was a Michael Jackson song called 'Pretty Young Thing', there was a movie made a couple of years ago called 'Sweet Young Things', The Monkees released a single called 'Sweet Young Thing'... There's nothing new about belittling and objectifying girls by calling them 'young things' or 'little things'.
I think if M&S had intended to be 'trans (ie male) inclusive' when advertising these products, they'd have been more respectful and not used such sexist, regressive and denigrating language!
Furthermore, don't forget that the products being advertised are 'first time bras' ie bras for pubescent teenage girls who are only just starting to develop breasts. Trans identified males do not start developing moobs until they take cross-sex hormones and these cannot be prescribed until a patient is at least 18 years old. So a 12/13 year old boy would have no need of a 'first time bra'. And trying to sell bras to 12/13 year old boys who don't need them would look like something of a red flag to say the least!
I've been in this fight long enough to know that, eventually, we start to see the evil of gender woo absolutely everywhere. But I think we have to be careful not to jump the shark.
Good news today! "Paul," the confused teen boy who contacted me to ask about "gender feelings" that his face is "female" along with his left hand, has now, in a period of only 6 weeks, working on my Wellness Checklist, given up the idea. He subscribed to Primal Fitness workout system, made a point of having chit chat conversations with mom and dad, stopped watching porn on his phone (he only told me about that today) and has thought of some helpful things to do for grandma. All I said was I don't believe in this, my ex husband never acts happy and there are many risks when a male takes estrogen. I suggested don't go to any "gender clubs" at school and find other thought pathways when rumination becomes obsessive. We grow new brain cells every day, I added. Other than telling me he thinks he was exposed to porn at a too young age, he said he's pretty busy playing board games, working out, talking to family and getting homework done to write much more than his short paragraph. My first save!
There is nothing the least bit transphobic about women not wanting to share intimate spaces with men, especially men they don't even know. There is a reason that there is really no research around women terrorizing men, but a full and complete literature can be found about men threatening women. https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/im-not-transphobic-you-are-normaphobic

Good on you! Please let us know what sort of response you get. (If you get one at all!)
My email address must be wrong as I’ve had no reply asking precisely this
Keep pestering them, Petal! The squeaky gate gets the oil etc etc....
Resign from the union?

Don't feel you have to read them, CB. Look after yourself first and foremost.
thanks JL, i always tell myself not to read them, and then i do. Its good to know whats going on. Maybe i should just read them and keep my mouth shut- until Petal turns up at least. In the bath now with a beer so calmed down a bit now. Have a lovely week
I have no contact lenses in so initially misread that and thought you were in a bath of beer! 😂 Enjoy your soak and your sherbet, CB.
Ew can’t be doing with lenses , thought i was going blind till the optician pointed out I had them in backwards ,
Stick with my specs
that sounds like a good idea JL, i would ‘t have to keep getting out to go to the fridge- although i’m not mad keen on drinking the fall out from my body. Fall out- yuk- sorry that sounds minging
😂😂
I’m here 🤣 we have to read them to try and keep the fuckers at bay
They will not win !
hi Petal you’re right!
look Petal, at last i have something in common with an elite athlete!

Enjoy your beer cb , I’d little petal at weekend , great time as usual , she was doing my hair and went ‘it’s a bit white ‘ cheeky little fecker 😂
thanks Petal, so glad you are having such a great time with little Petal. nothing wrong with having a bit of white hair, its the natural aging process of a human being and should be celebrated i reckon what with me being a bit of a hippy i guess.

So how much is Green making from her dodgy company? I should think her "perseverance" owes a lot to puberty blockers making her (and others like her who come over all sanctimonious) immensely rich.
You may well think that, I couldn't possibly comment. (But under 18's membership is £150 per month after the one-off £200 joining fee...)
Sounds like a nice little earner...what's sickening is how our old friend filthy lucre is driving much of this madness.
I think to a large extent the trans cult is driven by the big pharma corps. SO much money to be made by turning people into lifelong medical patients from an early age, flogging them expensive surgeries and making them reliant on synthetic hormones.
Thanks as ever for the hard work, JL.

That’s great, thanks Dusty 💪🏻
I’ve no doubt JL will spot this but you all know I can’t keep my gob shut
M&S have pulled their advert for teenage bras for ‘young things ‘ stating they ‘ got it wrong this time ‘
Eh naw M&S you’ve been getting it wrong for a very long time
While the slogan was hugely inappropriate and tone deaf, I'm not entirely convinced it was driven by gender zealotry.

For the first time ever I think I’m going to have to agree to disagree
I think it was was deliberate and as someone else has said I’m just surprised they didn’t include a young boy in the ad
You're perfectly entitled to disagree, Petal! 😊 But you won't persuade me, I'm afraid.

I get you JL , was sharing my thoughts
I’ll shut my fat gob now 😊
I’d like to know more about the DEI dept at Head Office for M&S. That’s where all their sick and anti female ideas come from.
Too right !
