Thanks for this eye-opening article. It's worrying to think of the damage to children the supposedly 'impartial' BBC may be causing.

You're quite right, Liz. Our national broadcaster is grooming our kids to believe in gender ideology.

It is shocking BBC is blocking license payers !!!!! #GoWokeGoBroke for BBC

Lot of Gaslighting happening with pronouns and raping people into accepting gender Ideology. No wonder people are either being kicked out, forced to leave or resign due to increasing woke pressure.

Very depressing article, and yet very factual , thanks for collating it for us, as usual JL ❤️

P.S They should stop demanding people to pay for their Ubers, meals and lives and start earning, we won't pay a dime for them to fullfil their fetishes of tampons or stockings. F right off 😤

Where's my or your "GNC Safe" Taxi or Uber, though?!! [I know neither of us are British BTW. Then again, presumably you don't leave the house looking like a complete berk** either, though!]

**For the record, I have (like every other woman alive, of course) been hassled and even had to deal with flashers and frotteurs etc, etc on the train and other public transport quite a few times - difference is it's never even occurred to me to ask other people for dough so I didn't have to relive THAT trauma!

I wonder what specifically that Jamie guy has actually experienced on the train and if it was anywhere near as bad as, say, having a gross old man flash at them repeatedly (in a horrifyingly escalating manner too) when they were minding their own business walking through the train station on their way to work at the age of 17 - to list one example?

I'm willing to guess that they were just heckled for choosing to leave the house looking like a knob.

My thoughts exactly. Unsafe on public transport?? Well stop leaving the house dressed as Pennywise's whiny younger brother then. I guess he thinks we women can desport ourselves on public transport, any hour of the day or night, with total impunity? These people are such grifters.

(Thank you so much for you kind words, Gauri!)

Fabulous point. What a complete jerk to dress like that and expect to have Women's privilege. Perhaps he should book himself special cabs and free us of bearing up with him.

P.S You always earn Your compliments through hard work JL ✌️

I'm blushing!

Obviously nobody should be heckled - no matter how they choose to dress. I just doubt that guy had any experiences nearly as frightening as the low-level assaults on our dignity and boundaries that most women and girls experience without even being encouraged to consider unusual or extraordinary.

This is so true. Men can never experience the fear of being raped or groped or assaulted. Not to the level Women do, never. All these nonsense hurt-y feels of such narcissistic fools make me livid to be honest.

When I was a student (going back a bit now!) and involved in the university women's group, I campaigned hard for a women's night bus. So many female students were experiencing harassment and assault when en route home on Friday and Saturday nights. The cash in the SU budget eventually went on a new shower block and strips for the (men's) football team. We were told that women should just travel home together if they were worried about their safety.

Thanks for sharing this tidbit. You tried atleast, you can sleep peacefully at night. Woke Men will never let Women have their Rights or Safety , that's given, hence waves of Feminism.

Typical, isn't it JL?

Wow Lida you went through a lot , one tough nut aren't You. Well I travel through Local trains too , which is having separate compartment for Ladies strictly. But back Here girls can't wear shorts and stuff that much , and can't step out after 20:00 p.m .

I had bad groping experienced on local buses and trains but thankfully no flashing till date.

P.S That hit home, your opening statement, no free cab services for us. And truly we are outsiders. I have been thinking on these lines a lot lately.

I don't think I've been through that much, to be honest. I think my experience was largely a mixture of bad luck and naivete - I accidentally made an unhinged guy a bit angry, apparently. It's even kind of funny in retrospect (there are graphic details I've spared everyone)...

Mind you, I've never dwelt on feeling overwhelmed by this or any other experiences, much less considered myself a "victim". Which makes me all the angrier when I see that certain types of people (male people) are able to go around eliminating women's spaces and even successfully grifting on account of their alleged safety.

Feelings echoed here too. All this relentless woke male energy is too much , don't know who are worse, woke men who want to erase us or woke Women or Panderers who want to be happily erased for them and take down us all with them. Strange level of commitment by such Woke Women.

Expand full comment

Yes, the commitment of Woke women to ensuring the momentum behind their own oppression has always been very puzzling to me, too.

The BBC also published this article, two days ago, about a person who claims that transphobic bullies nearly cost them their life.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-54644266

Apparently transgender abuse includes "deadnaming". In other words, calling somebody by the wrong name. Jesus wept, I've been accidentally called by the wrong name many times in my life. I never once felt that it was abuse.

Just been writing that article up for the War on Women! Clever bit of propaganda to bury the news about the Met's new 250 gendah officers in a hugely emotive piece about a vulnerable teen.

Expand full comment

I saw the article about the Met - first thing that came into my mind was how they plead poverty and that's why a lot of rape cases are not followed up properly..... but they have resources to do this in the name of "inclusivity". They should be fighting crime, not virtue signalling.

Expand full comment

Plus, they report 283 'hate incidents' in the past year. (A dodgy figure since a 'hate crime' can be anything the supposed victim says it is!) and this requires 250 officers?? Two women are murdered every week. Where's our special defence squad?

Pfft! What society needs sex crimes investigated adequately by the cops when they have a 250-strong Pronoun Posse? /sarcasm

Pronoun Posse! Ah that really made me laugh!

TY! 😳

im so pleased i cancelled my licence - they need breaking up now

There was a time I'd have fought like a tiger to protect the BBC. Not any more. (And if it wasn't for Staged and Gentleman Jack, I wouldn't pay my licence fee either!)

Expand full comment

I agree - im also still watching as i dont believe they can actually do very much apart from send threatening letters and send the goons to frighten you

Expand full comment

Sadly, they can if you’re a woman - a man would be let off, because there are so many men in prison already that sex offenders have to be let off and never put in men’s prison bc there are too many of them & but there are women in prison for failing to pay licence fee.

I am surprised that anyone is surprised that the organisation responsible for Saville's coddling is embroiled in what will be seen in years to come as another child abuse scandal of epic proportions.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-02-25/jimmy-saville-bbc-bosses-unaware-of-stars-sex-crimes/7201428

I stopped trusting them after the way they helped Thatcher the milk snatcher with their handling of the miners being assaulted in the 80s. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/margaret-thatcher/5712618/BBC-rapped-for-inaccurate-report-on-Margaret-Thatcher-and-miners.html

Found out later about Saville, disgusted but unsurprised.

Anyone who trusts the Beeb to ensure the best interest of anyone, let alone children, has not been paying attention.

2% of the BBC were transgender in 2018. I’d love to know what they figure is now. Either it’s increased or the 2% is made up of some extremely persuasive people!

Just a very brief aside: is anyone else here waiting to hear that the BBC has appointed a Man Who Claims to be a Woman in the top hosting spot on Women's Hour?

If it happens, I'm going to remember having called it 🤷‍♀️
