A few reasons to be cheerful this week.

There Is Power In A Feminist Union

Former PCS Union member, Fiona Macdonald, set about putting gender critical trade unionists in touch with each other in order to challenge the TUC’s misogynistic policies. She was inundated with takers.

AEA In The FT

The Authentic Equity Alliance was established in 2018 to promote the development of women and girls. It focuses on dispelling myths around and providing clarity of the Equality Act 2010 to ensure that women’s sex based rights are upheld. This week, its services and training were advertised in the Financial Times.

Yet Another Belter From Sandy

Sandy Draws Badly @SandyDrawsBadly

When being forced to pretend that men are women is kind and giving women single sex spaces after trauma is mean. “Reframe your trauma” my arse.

Their Cauldron Runneth Over

For Women Scotland have not only met but exceeded their CrowdJustice target. Now they can proceed with their challenge to the Scottish government over its re-definition of the word ‘woman’. Braw. Best of luck, Scottish witches!

Right To Reply For Women Of Steel

After running a story about the Women of Steel statues being turned into a symbol of ‘trans solidarity’, The Star gave the Sheffield Labour Gender Critical Feminist Group a right to reply and published their letter objecting to the action.

“We believe that to ‘trans’ the Women of Steel was utterly improper – the women that statue represents did not identify as men; it’s the very fact that they were women undertaking traditional men’s work that statue celebrates. To use them as a symbol of trans solidarity is to completely misrepresent history.”

Majority Rules

TalkRadio covered the new ‘trans’ guidelines just introduced for Scottish schools. It asked listeners if they approve of children as young as four being able to choose their own gender without their parents’ consent. The answer was an overwhelming NO.
