🚨A Māori women’s rights advocate in NZ is facing jail time after a trans activist reported her to police for “offensive” social media posts.

Rex Landy of @MKorero was arrested and charged following a home raid where police seized her devices.

The Sandie Peggie employment tribunal is currently exposing, as perhaps no court case to date has, the issue of class as it relates to the top-down imposition of gender identity ideology in the workplace.

'Diversity officer' Isla Bumba has now admitted in court that she didn't bother consulting the 1992 regulations guaranteeing single-sex spaces when she told a trans-identified male, Dr Beth Upton, to use the female changing room at the hospital where he was working. Bumba justified this decision with comments that I assume sounded really clever and convincing, inside her own head.

'I don’t know anything about Beth’s body. I didn’t at the time. I don’t now. I don’t need to know. But it wouldn’t be something that I would ever have the information of exactly what she is made of, biologically.'

Kate Searle, a consultant in emergency medicine, backed Bumba up, expressing outrage on the witness stand that anyone would be so insensitive as to ask about Upton's chromosomes.

‘I could only imagine how upsetting and invasive a question that would be for Beth, and also not relevant to a colleague to ask another colleague. Beth identifies as female, and it does not matter what her chromosomes are to her.’

In Bumba and Searle's world, a belief that gender identity trumps biological sex is proof you're intellectually and morally superior to women like Sandie Peggie, so I'd imagine it's come as a shock to discover, in a blaze of public and press scrutiny, just how idiotic and cruel they appear to people outside their dinner party circle.

When Upton, a 6' tall, 28-year-old ex-rugby playing male, claimed that a petite 50-year-old female nurse was making him feel 'unsafe', his word appears to have been taken as gospel. Searle, Bumba and management fell over themselves to coddle the middle-class doctor who shared their voguish post-modern views on gender. What did Sandie matter? She's just one of those ghastly uninformed bigots who still thinks sex is real and important - so embarrassingly gauche and simplistic! Whisper it - she probably drinks red wine with chicken, too.

According to @tribunaltweets, an emotional Searle blurted out on the stand 'I am kind.' This is not something genuinely kind people need to say. Genuinely kind people don't find themselves compelled to explain in court why they helped whip up a witch-hunt against a woman whose only crime was wanting to change her clothes without a man watching.

Well, the nurse who was supposed to shuffle off in disgrace wasn't having it. Sandie Peggie refused to be sacrificed on the altar of elitist ideologues who believe themselves to be higher and better than she is. She fought back, for herself and for every other woman who's currently being silenced, persecuted and punished by a smug management class that preens itself on its virtue while imposing rampantly misogynistic policies on its workforce.

Sandie Peggie is a heroine. The woman NHS Fife thought they could treat abominably without any consequences to themselves has succeeded in shining the brightest spotlight yet upon the brain rot and compassion deficit suffered by supposedly intelligent people when they embrace gender identity ideology. Women everywhere owe her a debt of thanks. Whatever the outcome of this tribunal, Sandie Peggie has already won.

@Keir_Starmer Still waiting for you to do a Mother's day massage. Remember mothers? You probably don't because they are women, and you don't even know what a woman is.

[DJ Lippy @terfasaurus]

Here are two nearly identical sentences.

"She walked into the female changing room, sat down opposite the woman, and began to take off her clothes."

"He walked into the female changing room, sat down opposite the woman, and began to remove his clothes."

What a difference a pronoun makes.

Life may have become a Monty Python skit, but Tickle VS Giggle Round 1 was the lancing of a legal boil that's been festering for too long.

It's out in the open now: 'gender identity' obliterates rights based on sex.

It will galvanise a fightback around the world. Thank you
@salltweets for being an absolute shero 👏🙏✊

Do you want to know what the women called TERF’s believe?

Buckle up. Here it is:

Women are adult human females.
Men are adult human males.
No man is a woman.
Woman, man, boy, girl, female, male are all sex based terms.
No human being has or can change sex.
Femininity and masculinity are socially created and imposed.
Being feminine is not a condition of being female.
Being masculine is not required to be male.
Men and boys can be feminine.
Women and girls can be masculine.
"Transwomen" are men.
Lesbians are women who are sexually attracted to other women.
Gay men are men sexually attracted to other men.
Legal sex just means a man has changed his identity documents to claim to be a woman.
Gender ideology is bullshit.
No child is born in the wrong body.
Puberty blockers and cross sex hormones are sterilisation of primarily homosexual or autistic youth.
"Trans" isn’t a coherent demographic of people.
"Trans" is a man made concept.
Safeguarding of women’s boundaries is important.
Safeguarding children is paramount.
Female spaces are necessary.
No males in female sport.
When we say female, we’re saying it to reference both women and girls. Otherwise, we’ll be specific about women or girls.
Nonbinary is the equivalent of emo or goth, it’s a phase and doesn’t deserve or warrant legislative validation.
Females are oppressed on the basis of being female, aka sex. Don’t believe us? Look to women in Afghanistan.
While males are also entitled to male only spaces, they’re very different in society and law to female spaces.
Women’s rights matter.

For the record, bombarding me with pictures of athletic women to ‘teach’ me that women don’t all look like Barbie is like spamming me with pics of differently-shaped potatoes to prove rocks are edible. I can still see the difference and you look frankly bonkers.

Why are men unsafe when a woman *leaves* an elevator, @VicGovAu?

[ManaWāhineKōrero @MKorero]

The powers that be, the upperclass, the politicians and the elite want the working class to meet their every need and want. It is the children of working class they want to be prostitutes. It's is working class children's eggs they want to harvest. It is working class women who they target for surrogacy. It is predominantly workingclass women in jail with men.

[Allison Bailey @BluskyeAllison]

I love and admire this woman so much. Just imagine where we would be today if @jk_rowling had decided not to stand with ordinary women against the anti-women, anti-science, anti-reality gender identity movement sweeping across the globe?

If JK Rowling had done what almost every other celebrity was doing at the time - and what all 'progressive' high profile, influential and wealthy people were doing - which was absolutely nothing or worse, where would we be today?

People say that JK Rowling's wealth and status made it easy for her, but this isn't true, if it were there would be an army of independently wealthy and influential women standing with her. She put her trust in ordinary women and we put our trust in her, and together we have created the most impressive women's rights movement that we've seen in decades.

What marked JK Rowling out was her bravery and her courage, which no amount of wealth can buy.

The UK has led the world in fighting back against the dangerous excesses of gender identity ideology, and its attempt to erase sex-based reality, safeguards and protections, in no small part because of JKR and the other courageous women of Scotland.

They organised and lobbied and built impressive grassroots organisations that are respected nationally and internationally. They are not only holding the line, they are pushing it back.

Women were not overpowered and silenced, they were not gagged or shamed - and the parallels with sexual violence against women and girls are absolutely appropriate - in no small part because the women of Scotland stood and fought, and continue to fight, and they and we are winning.

Support them. Stand with them.

This is what will be the lasting memory of Newshub for me. When they lied about women wanting to gather to talk about our rights & made @theposieparker doing up her top into a "nazi" symbol. We were mobbed by violent activists that day & media stoked that. mob.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Scotland's Hate Crime Act comes into effect today. Women gain no additional protections, of course, but well-known trans activist Beth Douglas, darling of prominent Scottish politicians, falls within a protected category. Phew! 1/11
