Julie Buchill's 2013 rant about troons (the one that got her banned from writing for the Guardian) has re-emerged. It would be terrible if people today were to read such bigotry, so please don't share the link with anyone

Another woman's job is being threatened over her gender critical views. This time, Agnes Wold in Sweden.

Agnes Wold is a much-loved public intellectual in Sweden who is known for her feminism, her level-headed response to the COVID lockdown hysteria (she’s a bacteriologist), and, more recently, for refusing to go along with the transgender dogma that has gripped Swedish bureaucratic, activist, media and political elites.

On 20 May, the Swedish parliament approved an amendment to the law that criminalises “psychological violence” and “coercion” relating to “gender identity or gender expression (such as conversion practices)”, among other things. It is widely understood to be Sweden’s version of a conversion therapy ban (a more explicit law is likely if the left coalition gets into power in September).

Speaking on a radio programme about the law, Wold told the host that she would take 4 years in prison— the penalty for trying to prevent someone from leaning into their opposite-sex, delusion — before she would allow the gender transition of a grandchild (hard agree).

This comment set off major drama, with one famous gay media guy calling her the Swedish equivalent to “old hag” or “old crone”. Specifically, he said “get rid of the old hag. It is unethical of Sveriges Radio to give her access to a microphone,” which is a way of saying she should be fired from her public radio job.

Many, many people have called for Agnes Wold to be fired throughout the trans-mania era, and a lot of them seemed to be hoping that this comment would be the final nail in her coffin. But the remarks seem to have the opposite effect. Not only did Swedish people get very offended by this little shithead calling their beloved based radio-granny an old hag, they started to ask questions about the law that she was criticising.

And that, boys and girls, is how the omerta on the trans mass derangement got partially lifted in Sweden, and suddenly everyone started to ask: wait, what? Some kids think they’re in the wrong body and you can go to jail for telling them to snap out of it? Yes, dear Swedes, that’s what’s happening. Welcome to the conversation. We’ve been expecting you.

As of writing, Wold still has not yet been fired.

She is not being held responsible for her husband’s crimes. She is being called to account for her deliberate frustration of the legitimate scrutiny which might have revealed those crimes. The distinction should be perfectly intelligible to anyone except the disingenuous.

@SnpDavy What a mental take. Handlers 😳🤣 Problem with hardons like you Davy is that you can't see past the SNP and have lost all perception of reality. Jo Cherry v John Swinney is heavyweight v lightweight.

@NotThatDragonD @DreyfusJames @AvaLovelaceX Isn't this exactly what Ava is doing? He's a trans-identifying man stipulating what lesbians are... he's allowed but James isn't??

[Joe Quincy @JoeQuincy76]

No one is questioning that trans people exist Mairi - we can see them, it's just that those of us with our eyes open see men and women, predominantly men, larping around as pretendy-women. It's insulting to everyone - it's also insulting to everyone that you can't see it.

A Dr of what? Fuck me. How did we get here?? How is it ok for Dr Verma to exist as a Dr - their whole establishment is broken. In the UK this should get you thrown out of the GMC - at the moment it's an org stacked with these numbskulls. #istandwithjkr @Glinner

This clip will be the historical documentary of our age. In just a couple of minutes Dr Verma, a danger to patients, destroys the credibility of doctors, women, young people, ethnic minorities, the left, and all humanity with her moronic-yet-patronising words and mode of speech.

I remain very happy for this to go further. Let’s get it to the highest court we can. Let’s lance this ideological boil as soon as we can, in a legal fight where I am not liable for any costs!

You wanted this as public as possible to cause harm to my reputation and I assume my mental health. You will get what you wanted re publicity at least.

[Joe Quincy @JoeQuincy76]

Cosmically stupid - a grifter who's on the rise in the SNP - the female Humza, in it for a shot at the top job and then to obscurity. No substance, no brains, in a party of absolute throbbers - a woman shrilling for cross-dressing men.

Michael "Lauren" Jeska Jeska terrorized the women's fell running scene in the UK for years, taking 3 consecutive English Fell running championship titles along with a Welsh (WFRA) title.

When officials questioned Jeska's eligibility, declaring his results void as he failed to comply with the rules, he took two knives to the UK Athletics office and proceeded to stab Ralph Knibbs, head of human resources, in the head and neck in an attack eyewitnesses describe "as though [he] were trying to skewer meat."

He also injured the two men who tried to intervene. Knibbs suffered a stroke in the attack and was subsequently disabled.

Jeska continues to serve his sentence for attempted murder. He still holds women's parkrun records and is being held in a women's prison.

This from @Geoffrey_Cox was titanic - a truly beautiful speech.

He outshone those sat opposite. They could only watch. And nervously laugh.

This should be seen by every new MP to understand what they do, & every new barrister to understand what we do.

'He has a point, but he's too blunt.'

From the start, a key tactic of the gender identitarians has been linguistic prescription, and it's proved shockingly successful. Trans activists' shibboleths and euphemisms have been allowed to penetrate the upper echelons of our culture with devastating consequences to freedom of speech and belief. Huge swathes of liberal media, the arts, academia and publishing have thrown themselves with gusto into the defence of a quasi-religious belief causing provable real world harm, and in their arrogance they've been outraged when people they assumed were part of their In Group have refused to march meekly along in lock step.

Time and again, I've seen and heard well-educated people who consider themselves critical thinkers and bold truth-tellers squirm when put on the spot. 'Well, yes, maybe there's something in what you're saying, but it's hateful/provocative/rude not to use the approved language/pretend people can literally change sex/keep drawing attention to medical malpractice or opportunistic sexual predators. Why can't you be nice? Why won't you pretend? We thought you were one of us! Don't you realise we have sophisticated new words and phrases these days that obviate the necessity of thinking any of this through?'

As the vibe shifts, and a lot of people in the elite professions start trying to reposition themselves, the obvious place to start is, 'it's not that I couldn't see your point, but did you have to say it that way?' We dissenters were supposed to find a way of questioning the chemical castration of children while calling it 'gender affirming care.' We were meant to defend the rights of vulnerable women while also using female pronouns for male rapists. We should have found a way to discuss fairness for women and girls in sport, while pretending that the ineradicable physical advantage men have over women doesn't exist.

Either a man can be a woman, or he can't. Either women deserve rights, or they don't. Either there's a provable medical benefit to transitioning children, or there isn't. Either you're on the side of a totalitarian ideology that seeks to impose falsehoods on society through the threat of ostracisation, shaming and violence, or you're not. The alternative to being 'blunt' - using accurate, factual language to describe what was going on - was to surrender freedom of speech and espouse ideological jargon that obfuscated the issues and the harms caused. We've always needed blunt people, but we need them most of all when being asked to bow down to a naked emperor.

The NHS tells us there is no money. No money for extra staff. No money for reducing waiting lists. Nurses are urged to be resilient. Taxpayers are urged to understand the pressures. Yet when eight nurses in Darlington asked for something as basic as the right to change without a male present, money was suddenly no object. County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust found more than £600,000 to fight them in court.

That sum is not abstract. It is the equivalent of more than nineteen newly qualified nurses' salaries. It is months of treatment for patients on waiting lists. It is resources that could have been spent on care. Instead, it was spent defending a policy that an employment tribunal has now ruled violated the nurses' dignity and amounted to harassment. Employment Judge Seamus Sweeney did not mince his words. Allowing Rose Henderson, a biological male who identifies as a woman, to use the female changing facilities created a "hostile, intimidating, humiliating and degrading environment". Those are not culture-war slogans. They are judicial findings.

The trust did not stumble into this position by accident. It chose to defend it. Staff raised concerns. The issue did not disappear. The trust escalated. Lawyers were instructed. Public money flowed. The nurses were forced to fight their own employer simply to assert a boundary that most people would regard as common sense. Only after losing did chief executive Steve Russell apologise for the "distress caused" and confirm there would be no appeal. The money is gone. The damage is done. Now we are promised a "review".

This is the real scandal. The NHS is not a debating society. It is a publicly funded service entrusted with care. When frontline nurses say their dignity is being compromised, the instinct of leadership should be caution, not confrontation. Instead, ideology hardened into policy and policy hardened into litigation. The institution treated its own staff as the problem. It took a tribunal to say otherwise.

The trust now speaks of "improving private changing spaces" and ensuring arrangements "align with the law". That alignment could have happened years ago. The Supreme Court has clarified that sex in law means biological sex. The legal warning signs were visible long before the final ruling. Yet the trust pressed on, confident enough in its position to gamble more than half a million pounds of public money. That is not prudence. It is institutional arrogance.

There is a pattern here that extends beyond Darlington. Large public bodies adopt fashionable policies. Internal dissent is dismissed as prejudice. Legal risks are minimised. When challenged, the full weight of the institution is deployed against individuals who lack comparable resources. If the institution wins, the policy stands. If it loses, there is an apology, a review, and a quiet promise to do better next time. The cost is absorbed. The culture remains.

What should disturb the public most is the hierarchy of priorities this case reveals. There is always a shortage when nurses ask for support. There is never a shortage when leadership decides to defend a principle it believes cannot be questioned. The message to staff is clear: compliance is cheaper than dissent. The message to taxpayers is clearer still: your money will be spent not only on care, but on defending the indefensible.

Bethany Hutchison, one of the nurses who brought the case, called the spending "appalling". She is right. No nurse should fight years of legal battles for basic privacy, and no trust should spend £600,000 defending what a tribunal ruled a degrading environment. That choice speaks volumes about leadership.

This was never just about a changing room. It was about whether common sense and the law would yield to institutional dogma. The tribunal has answered that question. The nurses were right. The trust was wrong. And the public paid for it.

🚨 BREAKING: Barry Neufeld, a former school trustee who opposed gender ideology in schools, has been ordered to pay $750,000 to the Chilliwack Teacher’s Assocation.

The BC Human Rights Tribunal literally stated the following:

“If a person elects not to ‘believe’ that gender identity is separate from sex assigned at birth, then they do not ‘believe’ in transpeople. This is a form of existential denial.

“A person does not need to believe in Christianity to accept that another person is Christian. However, to accept that a person is transgender, one must accept that their gender identity is different than their sex assigned at birth.”

The Tribunal has declared that all British Columbians must believe in gender identities.
