(via The Woke Temple) Posie plays a blinder again Posie is another person who has been punished for spotting the emergency early and reacting entirely appropriately to it. Yesterday was another mass-peaking as fence-sitters saw what trans rights activists look like in the flesh. In their poise and their humour, the feminists Posie gathered at the event could not have stood in starker contrast to the Americanised idiots who tried to assault them. Brava, Posie! Brava!
In a few years’ time the ambulance-chaser lawyers will have ads on tv along the lines of “Think you were misled when told your confusion about your sexuality was because you were in the wrong body? Unhappy about the fact you’ve entered a premature menopause and have osteoporosis? We’re offering a no-win, no-fee service so that you can get your own back on the loonies who sold you this crap. So don’t delay, sign up today to jail one of these con artists.
I love Alan Henness' quiet persistence challenging organisation's mis-stating of the protected characteristic. I am doing my bit as well. Awaiting a reply from Oxfam about a LGBTQERTY job advert that refers to 'The Equalities Act'. They don't know the name of the Act, and they don't give a shiny sh*t about women and girls
I don't. I stopped giving them a penny or any donations when in a number of their shops, I had volunteers looking down their noses as the clothing (clean and good named brands) I was handing them as donations.
Also heard from a friend that in the third world countries that were supposed to be helped by Oxfam many of the Oxfam workers out there were living the life of Riley!
Over a year or two Glinner's Twitter has perceptibly shifted from predominantly asking "why is no-one mainstream talking about this?" to predominantly pointing out "look at these mainstream people embarrassed that they cannot hide from this any more".
Jon Ronson's faux-innocence and contrived, twee manner is so creepy. He's marketing himself as the "Can't-we-all-get-along?" guy who doesn't quite understand what all the "fuss" is about, putting it all down to internet-driven hysteria and polarisation.
I'll bet he wouldn't dare take part in a long-form unedited debate because then he'd have to answer questions that he knows the answer to but daren't say them out loud.
There is a big push at the moment in higher ed via the QAA enhancement themes to "decolonise" the curriculum, whatever the hell that means. It is operating on the assumption that racism pervades campus culture at all levels. The example for maths they provide in their "Gathering" is particularly telling... whether not to use parentheses around x with sin/cos [i.e. sin(x) vs sin x]... apparently deparenthesizing (what the hell even is that...) is a vehicle for social change.
As per the graphic at the top of the post, the overwhelming number of individuals pushing this are those furthest from the discipline, because why the hell would we hold onto hard won scientific, math and engineering discoveries when a subset of people feel uncomfortable that they were discovered by someone with less (or more) skin pigment. The trans issue is a very raw bleeding edge for a much deeper social fracture that has emerged over the last 10 years. I link the document purely for those interested... What do people hope to achieve by this level of indoctrination?
Her insistence on speaking and writing the truth is very good. That said, E Richard Sorenson the anthropologist wrote about preconquest and postconquest consciousness and cultures. A dominant feature of the latter is LYING. A group of well-meaning British tourists literally drove natives in Papua New Guinea insane in a week due to their lying, which for the British tourists was the norm. Preconquest peoples do not lie and cannot even comprehend lying. We lie to ourselves and everyone else every day, and we don't even know we are lying. And as many commenters here can attest, truth tellers are often not welcomed to put it mildly.
Commented on the previous post I suspect some of these TRAs are from homes where there’s controlling behaviour. Not always but common boys pick it up. Unsuspecting women who come into their lives will be coerced and abused. The freedom program runs courses on how to spot potential abusers early on
I was at Standing For Women in Manchester and that incident took place before it actually started so I can 't comment on the police handling of the TRA violence near the statue. The rest of the time, the police were fantastic, as Kellie-Jay has said. They were there in numbers, they held a line facing the group of damaged children in tartan frocks who were most of the protesters for over 2 hours, and they allowed us to disperse and contained the TRAs so we couldn't be followed. There may well be questions to be asked about how they handled the attack at the statue, but I can't fault them for allowing the rest of the event to go ahead in peaceful good spirits (on our part).
Those who have the funds to sue should and those who cant (Rebecka) needs to start crowdfunding - its high time these pricks are in court and made to pay with their careers and or cash
Young Owen is making all the serious faces little boys must while listening to great-granpda talk.
"You can name the system," says Grandpa Chomsky. Young Owen holds his tongue, no doubt thinking one mustn't name women.
It would have been nice if Chomsky had said "misogyny." Because Owen is an eager participant in its latest incarnation.
The degree to which these children take for granted the advances of that old-fashioned feminism, and are eager to cut around their edges, is stunning. They just assume that women have always been treated as people, not property, and that putting women back in a box is a harmless personal choice.
I remember that, when I was a child, my mother, as a woman, was not legally able to enter into certain financial transactions. In most of America, she could not buy a house, open a credit card, or hold a mortgage, without a male cosigner. That could pose challenges for those few women living without men in their households. It was only legal for women to apply for credit when the EOCA took force in October 1975.
The humiliation of my mother having to ask her boss to cosign her mortgage in order to be able to take the job - or, even, to pay her by her initials and hide the fact she was a woman - is not something todays radbabies ever thought about.
Andrew Neill's questioning was excellent. He not only pursued Ashworth as to who had actually supported Rosie Duffield. But also pointed out that the Shadow Equalities Minister (Dawn Butler for info) had not only failed to support her but actually criticised her 😠. He gets it
Thank you so much for forwarding the video with Noam Chomsky. Listening to Chomsky sharing his wise observations is pretty amazing! . Also Chomsky's descritption of the UK being the shoeshine boy for Washington is pretty spot on....
Bloody Girlguiding! I'm sick of even hearing the word "inclusion" now. A top football team wouldn't take someone unable to play football just for "inclusion" purposes, an elite university shouldn't take someone unable to do the work, just to be kind. There needs to be more exclusion. And we can start with the people in charge of these organisations who are allowing this ideology to take its grip on our society.
I’m still haunted by the manic, disinterested, scared, move on…body language of the odious Owen when Chomsky wants to talk about the oppression of women and how recently they have gained any autonomous rights. Staggering

I think there are a few adverts in the US already. Which is great.
Yes, in San Francisco for people prescribed Lupron. Bring it on.

Yes, remember this? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jun/15/timeline-oxfam-sexual-exploitation-scandal-in-haiti - frankly, I'm amazed anybody still gives to them.
I don't. I stopped giving them a penny or any donations when in a number of their shops, I had volunteers looking down their noses as the clothing (clean and good named brands) I was handing them as donations.

It's satisfying.

I agree. I couldn't listen to more than 30 seconds.
Just filled in the Scottish GRA response form 1 hour to go!

I just saw a great speech regarding pushing back against wokism. It first covers critical race theories but it also goes on to discuss trans activism. It's well argued. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNMwW6gmJAU&ab_channel=TheNewCultureForum

The infuriating thing was that the police seem to be siding with the masked pricks. I hope the new chief inspector of constabulary will change things. There's a good interview with him in The Times https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/were-not-thought-police-insists-new-chief-inspector-of-constabulary-zg6hgbhm7

This is great to hear.
Yes let’s hope so, what’s happening is just isn’t good enough. I’m wondering if at least one of the masked idiots was a woman. Ignorant beyond belief
LOL The Black Pampers! Love it
