I am sick to my stomach. I try to tell my friends in my country (Switzerland), even my partner, about what is happening worldwide. (A feminist colleague in RDC reports of similarly threats against women, I mean, specifically Gender critical women).

All think I’m just obsessed and that it will pass. Of course I am obsessed! I fear for all the women at risk of death, prison, mutilation, rape etc.

What will today bring? For the Irish independent, a cancelled subscription from myself. They could have chosen to promote Paris Lees book without patronising JKR and Glinner, but they did not. Instead they publish an insulting ‘father forgive them for they know not what they do’. That’s a goodbye from me and my €9,99 a month.

I don't know where on the internet to post this comment, so I'll post it here. This crazy stuff is definitely bringing a shift in society. There is a "transgirl" at the college where my husband teaches who is being entitled, difficult and narcissistic.

My husband let his feelings - on this person and the general attack on women's rights - be known and the other female staff were so happy and relieved to have a man on their side. The next time he went to work, more staff, male and female, joined in a discussion on this stuff and how it might relate to the narc trans student they have. They all think gender ideology is ridiculous but were living in silence until my husband broke it. How many other workplaces are just waiting for that one person to come out and say "this is dangerous bullshit"?

I feel ashamed to be a man when reading this kind of article. I can't get my head around the denial of what's being posted on social media or reported by the mass media. The TRA's stoop to new lows by using the holocaust to leverage some sympathy from the growing dissent that is rising in the nations. What the hell is "biological fundamentalism?"

Definition - "Fundamentalism, type of conservative religious movement characterized by the advocacy of strict conformity to sacred texts."

Biological SEX is not a religion, it's a scientific fact, something that has existed since the beginning of life on earth.

It looks like TRA's are indeed part of the new master race, carriers of the 'Truth' and they will purge the earth of anyone who disagrees. Wait a minute! That's starting to sound a lot like what the Nazi's thought, round up all those who we don't like and get rid of them, hmm.

I've never known such a time. I had never realised the depth of misogyny out there.

On the positive side, we have had excellent articles about this in the Daily Mail, The Times and also The Telegraph which represent a large coverage (in today's terms) of newspaper readership. I can't remember the name but there is one legal practice which has dropped Stonewall's 'diversity training'/nonsense money-making scheme they invented and have actually cited concerns about recent Stonewall activities being the reason for this. Not the usual 'value for money' lie. Progress, I think.

The trans in the Holocaust thing: I saw a post yesterday on FB about this and their wording was something like 'the homosexual men who were rounded up by the Nazis (there would have been bi and transwomen too)...' and they listed about 6 links to make the post look legit. Not one of their links had the words bisexual or trans in it. Is it possible? Of course. And is it horrific that gay men were targeted by the Nazis? Of course! What bothers me is there is no level these people won't stoop for sympathy and point-scoring.

This is a really dangerous moment. We may all think this is now screamingly obvious to everyone but if they succeed in facing this down, which they very well could given how so much of officialdom is expressly on their side, we may find that we've been drowned in a rush tide. It's all hands on deck.

The Brunel student is a seriously disturbed young man. If police do not charge him, he will very likely commit some horrific crime against any woman who calls him out. The charging of Marion will peak the UK and hopefully destroy man at the bus stop’s stellar career, once everyone hears the facts.

Thanks Nutmeg and Graham for this. I don’t often comment but just wanted to say how disgusted I am with that shameful argument by the deputy editor of Race & Class that conflates feminists with the far right, and biological sex with society’s sex stereotypes (gender). I perhaps shouldn't be surprised, given how many of my fellow travellers have already dumped materialism for this men’s rights movement dressed up in the rainbow flag, but it is disappointing nonetheless to see R&C go there.

I would like to take this moment to pray for the police in Scotland for strength and fortitude in carrying out their duties. Investigating rogue stickers and ribbons must be exhausting. 😁

It’s a painful comedown after the recent glee. But more and more IS coming to light. I share Naomi Cunningham’s quiet confidence that exposing these issues to light in the law courts will go our way. The issue then will be how much and how the verdicts are reported.

And can someone, for the love of everything holy, tell these idiot trans lobbyists and their minions that gender non-conforming DOES NOT MEAN transgender. It is them, not us, who want conformity. We recognise biological reality as being important, but it does not dictate how you dress or express yourself. Crack on and wear what you want and date other consenting adults. But stop lying and gaslighting women. We won't weesht.

I feel like we are all living in some dystopian novel. This post today from you is the historical archive that needs to be preserved, but you and just a handful of others seem to be the only ones interested in preserving the true record of what went down. Thank you for doing this! I am sending your post to as many people as I can.

I'm rarely disturbed by anything but this post surpassed by my usually high tolerance for disturbing bullshit with ease.

The juxtaposition of threat after threat upon rationalisation should disturb everybody.

You couldn’t write this stuff. If someone wrote it down as a story - a film plot called “2021” (for instance)....no film/production company would touch it. You’d be laughed out of the office.

Sometimes it just seems so overwhelming and hard to take in. I can't understand why the woke are such idiots. We will keep on going though #WomenWontWeesht
