Sadly ,most of the UK media are deliberately looking the other way !! After all,what honest journalist can report on a rape and call the perpetrator " SHE " !!( Frequently accompanied by a picture of a MAN !!)
Yet another COWARDLY action by SPINELESS man !! His platitudes are nothing but hippocracy ,pretending to support women but bowing to the bullies.. Is there anyone of any integrity left in positions of power ? Do the streets need to be littered with women's bodies and a whole generation of children destroyed before the authorities realise how wrong this is ? Or would that be swept under the carpet as well ?
Sadiq Khan is vile. No solidarity with anyone but himself. My Uber driver told me he was responsible for crushing the Uber drivers Union. Yet another example of why self ID is toxic. Sadiq is a Tory self identifying as a leftwing politician and trashing the rights of workers and women. The very people the left traditionally defends.
I read an article about him before he became mayor, years ago in The New Yorker (someone gave us free copies, I wouldn't pay for that trash). He sounded like a misogynist then and he seems to still identify as a misogynist.
My goodness - it is almost as if Khan, Starmer, Davey, Sturgeon and the green leader persons, (whoever they are), never actually thought any of this through when they jumped enthusiastically onto the trans rights bandwagon to grab the youth vote (or so they thought). Hence, they have to avoid "difficult" questions which any two year old can answer, such as do women have male genitalia? When you paint yourself into a corner, I guess you have to either stay in the corner shouting "I really like this corner and I always wanted to be here" or you have to come out and get covered in paint. Decisions, decisions.
Yes Olivia, deeds not words. London TravelWatch are doing some work on personal safety on TfL's services. They include transpeople, and also highlight women. It can be done. I would suggest this is a good way to say how you feel when travelling, or thinking about visiting or travelling on TfL's services and more widely when travelling in London. That includes deciding to walk across London and not take the Tube or Bus. As is our right, and to feel safe enough to do so, free of harassment or abuse. Or being abducted, raped and murdered.
These are the choices and risk assessments women and girls (and boys and men) make daily. I think it remarkable that the Mayor of London, who is accountable to regulators, Parliament, and his voters, would take such a careless attitude that infers that women's rights and safety are not a concern to him. You can't keep avoiding what is happening.
When Sadiq Khan was elected as mayor, some of the media, notably the Guardian, responded as though he was the messiah rather than the lacklustre, mediocre Labour politician he actually is. Apart from issuing platitudes and soundbites, it was difficult to think of anythimg that Sadiq Khan had actually achievef while in office. Well, he’s rectified that. Presiding over the sacking of a dedicated, highly regarded, UNPAID, expert on issues affecting women’s safety for daring to hold an opinion which differs from his own - that’s pretty noteworthy.
The Muslim theological take on sex is that it is very firmly binary: humans are created either male or female - with an infinitesimally small number of people born 'intersex' - and there is no notion at all of 'assignation at birth', or any such related claptrap. Sadiq Khan cannot be an adherent to the Muslim tradition *and* believe that men can be changed to women and women to men. The disconnect - and the concomitant cognitive dissonance - would be too much and he would explode. And yet he's still here. Strange, that. One can only conclude that either his gender identity stance is sham, or his faith is fake. Can't have it both ways, Mr Khan.
These men HATE us SO much, SO deeply...
This will be happening in Afghanistan too, women just being thrown out of jobs, by men, instantly, without explanation, without reason, without care.
HOW can some women themselves be going along with this BRUTAL MISOGYNY and WHERE is the UK media?

The phrase, 'looking the other way' is perfect, if you don't mind me saying...
Very well said, Olivia

Well said.
The election of Sadiq Khan was an exercise in woke box-ticking of the most bombastic kind. And that's about all it was.
He is like a cross between a Muslim(which he is meant to be) and a woke political bloke. Can't be trusted on either side.
The Muslim theological take on sex is that it is very firmly binary: humans are created either male or female - with an infinitesimally small number of people born 'intersex' - and there is no notion at all of 'assignation at birth', or any such related claptrap.
