Hi Graham, while everything that you've said is true about the misogynist abuse gender critical women get being generally worse than what is dished out to men, you've taken more than your share for standing up to this nonsense and it's appreciated.
I think it is true that men are treated differently by trolls mainly because those trolls are men who hate and resent women plus of course those sad women who want to be on their side. However men don’t usually step forward in large numbers to support other men the way the sisterhood does. This last year has been a revelation to me as I’ve stood at protests for the first time in decades alongside women of all ages and types and some men. The sheer scale of the attacks on women from Marion Millar through those persecuted in universities of all places and prisons and rape centres cannot be ignored. I am so proud of the fight back. For every label of hateful bigot I would hail 100 brave women who can take that on the chin and move onwards and upwards. We are winning this - us, the little people of Terf Island - we’ll send support and courage to those struggling in the US, Canada, Ireland , Spain and the rest.
I’ll be ‘coming out’ on Dec 19. Anyone who hates me has already left the building - lol! Not all my family want to get involved in this war, but they’re made of sterner stuff than the hothouse flowers which disappear at the first hint of unideal conditions. My two sisters are fully on board with me, though. It’s great to be older and go full battleaxe, and not give a feck 😄
I'm out anonymously on Twitter and Youtube comments but not on FB. I find having the anonymous account really helps release a lot of anger and frustration that wasn't able to go anywhere before, as well as connect with great people in this fight on twitter and support everyone that needs it. I highly recommend making a fake account to anyone reading this who hasn't yet. I just make sure I am careful about how much I share about myself in it so no one spying can connect me to who I am in real life.
Yes, the vitriol and shaming is overwhelmingly directed at women, just for daring to speak up. The sad thing is that many women on-line are also guilty of those vile insults.
As for Keir Starmer, I suspect he identifies as a man so maybe it's time he grew some.
Is this who is attending uni at the moment? I never thought I would feel so sorry as I do now. I have a 17 year old on his way next year. How will he stay grounded in reality if surrounded with such nonsensical collegues? Maybe rethink and get a trade? Some how it feels like the ivory tower breeds this type of unrealistic thinking ( or non-thinking). 😔
Jesus, I could only listen to 10 mins of that video (thanks for posting). These people are morons but far more worrying from one of them, is the oft repeated trope - puberty blockers are reversible and no harm is done.
I genuinely hope these young women don't find out the hard way that transwomen are in fact men.
It was pitiful seeing those young female students floundering helplessly when asked to interpret and explain concepts they claim to believe in and support. Anyone who invests in this ideology doesn't have much option other than to take this view. If they don't, they risk looking into it and seeing what's there, a lot of flimsy, incoherent, half baked, half thought ideas enveloping a core of ancient, resilient misogyny.
Not looking too deeply can mean you don't have to worry that the bullies will come after you. They'll leave you alone if you parrot delusion and be kind; kindness that means not thinking about consequences, and allowing yourself to be 'educated' into unthinking compliance. Gender and gender identity can be anything - anything that facilitates narcissistic fantasy or maybe coveres up bewilderment, turmoil and distress that will be left to get worse.
It seems to have started to crumble, and even if this ideology is being kept aloft by people with unlimited resources, once all the lights go on and the larger majority sees what's around them and reacts, only despotism will keep it there. I'm sure there's enough misogyny for that to happen, but there are a lot of women who are prepared to resist and confront it again and again. Eventually, I hope that'll include these two students.
This video is instructive (and depressing) but it also, in its conclusion, falls into the trap of labelling gender identity ideology "left wing."
Gender identity ideology is bankrolled by (at least) three US billionaires, promoted by an international law firm, adopted by numerous multi-national corporations, endorsed by the British Conservative Prime Minister (who has his own 'Stonewall Ambassador' advisor), and is enforced by the British and Northern Ireland police forces. Which part of that scenario is "left wing?"
We haven't had a left wing Government in Britain for 42 years, so where is this "left wing" influence that's so powerful that the UK Government, British mainstream media, corporate sector, Police Force, Health Service etc etc daren't even confront it?
It's not just the TRA loons is it - when you look at Marion Millar and Ceri Black, it's also the police. I'm tempted to come out but it wouldn't be hard to find my email and address on line so think I'm going to hold fire for now. I'm out on some sites and have signed petitions etc but twitter feels like a walking a tightrope over a cess pit.
That video is wild. So, so depressing. The only thing I would say, is that most of us Terfs are from the LEFT, not right, or even centre. We have no political home.
Just as Evergreen college grads have discovered that they are unofficially unemployable, I expect Sussex grads will have a hard time getting a job with that uni on their resumes. No one with a thought toward risk management will want these whiny, vindictive trash on the payroll.

Thank you Graham for all your hard work you are a national treasure

I sent Helen Joyce’s book to my ceo plus posted the Nolan Investigates link on Linked in with a like - think a few other people have done this too.
Any ideas for Linked in as I don’t use Facebook or Twitter…. 🤔

Have you read what's printed on the interviewer's sweatshirt? 😄
It's a Die Hard film reference but the students won't know that; they'll think it's a transphobic death threat.
Out and proud 🙋🏼♀️
