A dreadful week, and some vomit inducing 'performance art'. The only good news is Prof Richard Bugg suing North Utah university for compelled speech. If he wins his case, this could have momentous consequences for those afraid to speak up. Let's hope he does.

I think idiots like this 'piss artist' are doing us a favour! Let the public see just who it is promoting this lunatic ideology.

Thanks JL

I honestly have no words , the depravity of humans and the stupidity of the judiciary make me hang my my head in shame

This should be mainstream instead of how to clean your effin toilet efficiently 😡

That was quite a lot of words actually

I look forward to the good news

The amount of organisations and people that signed the petition to silence women is both sickening and shocking

Anyone else feel like we've just been beaten up after reading this?? ☹️ How much worse does it have to be to get MSM to show this all on prime time TV?? Feels like I want to shake people awake!!!! Xx

Take heart, Nicky! People like the piss artist are doing our work for us! And the more these stories circulate, the sooner this idiotic ideology will be demolished. There's a GNS on the way! x

Thank you JL, mostly I am heartened by things moving, sometimes so quickly I get really hopeful. Then you read something else and realise that this cult has wound it's devils intestines so tightly into our major services, education, NHS, civil service and have private business by the short and curlies with threats, I truly despair. It's this underground evil that worries me. Even if Stonewall et al collapse, they have laid such time bombs and poison in the structure I can't see how we will rid ourselves of it all. Sorry to be rather negative, I do live in hope, esp with all the wonderful work and risks people take, that we will one day be able to breathe easily and release our imprisoned opinions. Thank you for all you do JL alongside Glinner and many others. You are my link to hope👍🏻😁💕

Thank you so much, Nicky. That is a lovely compliment! Do stay hopeful because we ARE winning. (I think the LGB Alliance court case currently being heard is doing marvellous work showing up the gender zealots to be dangerous charlatans and total morons!) Can't claim 'we'll be home by Christmas' but I don't think it'll be too much longer. Keep smiling! xx

Have you watched the Jordan Peterson/Helen Joyce YouTube discussion... absolutely fascinating and brings such clarity to this mental illness!! Peterson is so insightful and sharp as a surgeons knife!! Talks like this keep me on the right side!! 👍🏻

Urine man is a colossal freak! A deviant attention seeker!

Transgender LBGTQ ETC is now a political ideology trying to usurp all once established norms.

I have spoken on twitter with many young men and they have been captivated by it.

They become aggressive like they are fighting for some noble cause!

They will have to find their own way out, just don't back down to them.

You're right, Sianrose. It really is a cult. And trying to talk sensibly to its most entrenched disciples is impossible. Some so earnestly believe the nonsense with which they've been indoctrinated and I feel sorry for them. Like you, I sincerely hope they find their way back.

I'm really keen to go to Brighton. It's a bit of a trek from Edinburgh though. I then thought about going to Leeds to support Lesbian Strength and then on to Brighton for Sunday.

If anyone else is planning to go or has any general advice let me know. I could drive but it is a long way although stopping off in Leeds could work. Or sharing the drive maybe.

Thanks.

Im so sick of the academics whispering to each other about being 'captured' but then staying completely silent publicly - what is wrong with them? all get together and tell the vice chancellor that they are striking until Stonewall is gone!! these people are paid by the tax payer ffs.

KJ's let women talk in Brighton is gonna be mega! See you there..

When I tuned in to live coverage of the event in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, I couldn't hear much due to the TRAs. But someone said the speaker had told them she had a carry permit and was not afraid to use it to defend herself. Later, I tuned in again and you could hear everything the women were saying. I don't know if the cops moved the "protesters" away or what.

From the posts I saw on Twitter I got the impression the police had stepped in and sent the milky bar militia packing. (A couple of the women involved in the event were praising the police for their action in clearing away the protesters.)

When ,oh when ,is the wider world going to wake up to the horrors that these people are intent on imposing on us all. Tras are the most evil ,hate filled group of people I've ever seen in my lifetime and they give themselves away every time they issue a " statement ". Can't believe that these captured institutions are so cowardly that they bow the knee to their every obscene demand ,no matter how dangerous it is to women and children. It's becoming more and more obvious that being prevented, in any way, from abusing women and children is now seen as " transphobic" and some " judges " should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves for their craven ,cowardly ,compliance to the horrifying demands of these perverts.!! I'm proud to call myself a Terf and a Transphobe because these people are truly, terrifyingly, inhuman in both their words and actions. The threats against Kellie Jay need to be taken seriously and I pray for the safety of all who attend. I live in Scotland and it's too far for me ,or I would go. Threats will just strengthen our resolve.!!Thank you so much , JL ,for all that you do ❤️👍👏

'There are none so blind as those who will not see.' Never a truer sentence said eh?

Another one is Nelson holding his telescope to his blind eye, when told to withdraw from a naval battle, saying 'I see no ships'....

Remarkable! The small end of the (huge, big, nonsensical) wedge was a scene I saw today. Little kids in gentrified Brooklyn (meaning, hello, all of them white) with their mothers, who probably actually call themselves "birthing bodies" traipsing around the street, yucking it up and filming more loudly than the little kids. The negative-chested, I call them. Please, please, do not pass this on to your children! I consciously did not take note of the sexes of the children.

I don’t know how true this is but it was brought up at last nights food bank management meeting so must be a bit of truth about it

Apparently some arsehole kicked off because he wasn’t asked if he needed feminine hygiene products

Wasn’t at my area Foodbank as he would have been told ‘ get a grip ya bawbag ‘ - by the other clients 😂

One small piece of good news. The petition from TENI still has less than 1,000 signatures, maybe because its aims are very vague: "A Call for Irish Solidarity #IrishSolidariT" Irish solidarity about what?? For the uninitiated the reply is "Dunno"
