Someone sent me this: "I just read JL's post and I think I should close a loop for you. "Rewire" used to go by another name six years ago. The transborg arrived in the person of Imani Gandy aka "Angry Black Lady." Thereafter, Rewire fired and unpersoned Natasha Chart, who then founded WoLF."
A lot more people liked Polish women's responses to Amnesty, asking them to use the word 'women', not 'people', than Amnesty's original tweet, so that's good. Poland is still a socially conservative country, with 86% of population declaring they're Catholic, and a long road ahead to achieve majority support for marriage equality, and coming at them with pomo nonsense is going to do nothing to change hearts and minds or help the Polish Left. It achieves the opposite.
Exactly right, Anna. I meant it when I said Amnesty are part of the problem. But I'm heartened to see the responses to them. I also saw that Aleksandra Karpowicz - who was 'taking over' the Vagina Museum Twitter account - has expressed the need to use sex appropriate language. I imagine that didn't go down well with wokerati at the VM.
Isn’t Rewire the site that used to be Reproductive Health Reality Check? If so, they used to be a decent group. They changed at some point. I read an article by them after the name change describing how an impoverished village in India was saved by the wives and daughters doing “sex work”. Even now I have to question whether I really read that or imagined it.
Yes, that's them. There's definitely been a sea change since the new name. I hadn't read the article you mentioned but I think my reaction would have been the same. Dear Lord.
Around the same time, there was a different article using the term “child sex workers”, with angry comments about it underneath. Looking back, it seems likely they got taken over by some sort of ideologue who wanted to shift focus from boring women’s reproductive health to legalizing prostitution. I think gender critical activist Natasha Chart worked for them and was booted fir her views.
Reading through some of the old comments on this site, I am reminded that everyone should really be using a VPN. It's a small price to pay not to be doxxed by misogynists.
I use Mullvad. Not affiliated with them in any way. They are super easy to get started, you just complete a captcha and are given an account number and one click later you have the app. No messing around with email addresses or suchlike. I pay five dollars a month. It's always quick to use, and even fools banks. I know this because my son (who was the one who recommended them) accidentally forgot to turn his VPN off a few times and the bank thought he was dodgy and making purchases from all over the world, and he had to go in and prove who he was in person with ID before they'd start letting him make online purchases again.
Anyway, my advice to women everywhere, and those in favour of women's human rights, is use a VPN, and use an email server like protonmail, which is encrypted and doesn't require a second email for verification.
The latest horror unleashed by transology. Little children who are in special needs schools no longer get to have a teacher of the same sex. Parents no longer get to choose this at this school. Men can now, with this school's willing consent, access special needs kids. So far we have men accessing rape victims, prisoners, women in changing rooms and toilets and survivors of domestic violence. Next up, the elderly.
"Equality is not about treating all people in the same way, but about recognising and respecting diversity enough to adapt practice and procedure to suit all" - all but the most potentially vulnerable, it would seem. I ask myself which kinds of people are likely to be alluded to by "to suit all" and find many of the most likely answers distinctly unnerving, tbh.
Equality should include equal human rights. But little children no longer have the human right to say no to a man, at this school. So stunning, brave and progressive.

Reproductive Health Reality Check. I was a big fan. I even listened to their podcast with Amanda Marcotte.

Wow, JL , You never fail to amaze, I missed quite a few of these on twitter, after all it was truly a war on Women.
P.S Hope You are doing great Vulva Owner,

Haha! Thank you so much, Gauri. That's really cheered up my morning! xx
Glad to make you smile. Would love more posts from you to be honest.
🤞
Ah thank you Gauri. That's lovely of you to say.

Precisely.
This post just tipped me over the edge. I am so angry I think I'm getting a migraine.
Sorry Avam!
It's not that transologists and their supporters don't know they are misogynists, they just don't care. They are doing it on purpose.
