Good News From Down Under

In Tasmania, attempts to prevent a gender critical event from being held at Hobart city hall have failed.

The Spectator Australia @SpectatorOz

'Gender-critical' women are being allowed to speak in Tasmania, much to the outrage of certain politicians.

Jax Fox is a ‘non-binary’ Tasmanian councillor with a reputation for shutting down debate around gender ideology. She tabled a motion at a meeting of Hobart City Council last week with the intention of preventing The Coalition of Biological Reality from hosting its planned forum at the City Hall in February. The council voted against the motion and the event is going ahead.

Nicola Will Be Cross

The Times reported on a poll which suggests that the Scottish government is facing a massive backlash over its proposed self-ID legislation.

For Women Scotland @ForwomenScot

Scottish ministers are facing a massive public backlash over their planned gender recognition reforms,

The poll, commissioned by For Women Scotland, demonstrates that the majority of Scottish people oppose the proposed legislation which will allow people to ‘self declare their gender’.

Luckily, all those people polled have an alternative to the SNP at the next election; The ALBA Party supports and defends women’s sex-based rights, as it makes very clear in the latest promotion material.

Adults In The Room At The Supreme Court

A ‘non-binary’ activist has lost her ongoing legal fight to be issued with a ‘gender neutral’ passport.

The Dominoes Continue To Fall

University College London has announced that it will not be renewing its Stonewall memberships.

Professor Alice Sullivan @ProfAliceS

"Following a period of debate within our community and careful consideration of the issues, UCL has now taken the decision that we will not re-join Stonewall’s Diversity Champions Programme or make a submission to the Workplace Equality Index."

ucl.ac.ukUCL and the Stonewall Diversity Champions Programme and Workplace Equality Index

“In weighing up all opinions in this debate, UCL’s senior leadership team has accepted Academic Board’s advice about the fundamental need to uphold academic freedom and freedom of speech in an academic context, recognising that a formal institutional commitment to Stonewall may have the effect of inhibiting academic work and discussion within UCL about sex and gender identity.”

Scouts’ Honour

The Scout Association has apologised to Maya Forstater for two years of investigation following a complaint of ‘mis-gendering’.

Maya Forstater @MForstater

The Scout Association @scouts has apologised to me for their "misgendering" investigation

unherd.comThe Scout Association apologises to Maya Forstater over ‘misgendering’Trans activists are in retreat. With a number of high-profile victories won by feminists refusing to be silenced by the deafening chants of ‘trans women are women’, momentum against the trans lobby is picking up speed. The latest example is an apology from the Scout Association apologises to Maya Fo…

The complaint was made against her by professional enby, Gregor ‘they/them’ Murray. In a letter to Maya Forstater, the Scout Association said that, had it considered the evidence she submitted at the time, Murray’s complaint may well have been found to be vexatious. (Oh dear, ‘they’ must be furious.)

Writing in Unherd, Julie Bindel commented, “The apology is another win for feminists against the trans witch hunt”.

Merry Christmas! And Finally…
