A tip
If a facility is a proper single sex service, it is by definition justified (legitimate + proportionate) to exclude *all of* the opposite sex
You do *not* then have to show it's justified *again* in order to maintain the exclusion against a sub group of the opposite sex
@Maryanna_Poetry @iaini10@PennellCarole@DreyfusJames@bindelj@michaelpforan Here’s a hint. Nobody’s fooled by the female name. You couldn’t be more obviously male if you posted a selfie from the squalid room where you drink alone and try to upset people who have everything you don’t, eg friends, good personal hygiene, reasons to get up in the morning.
Do women fail to challenge trans-identified man Robin Moira White (left) when he enters female only spaces because:
A) they think he's a fellow woman?
B) they know he's a man but consider him harmless?
or
C) they know what can happen to women who say 'no' to large, entitled men?
For a long time trans activism has made me think of standard abusive men but the Supreme Court judgement has really brought out the "teenage boys trying to undermine female authority with bantz" contingent >
@Arwen_Strong@roseveniceallan@DreyfusJames@supersparkler1 I'm only setting the record straight because Magdalen was mentioned. Firestorm #2 occurred because I followed her on here, which definitely wasn't done absent-mindedly. She was an utterly inspirational woman taken from us far too young.
Social care and NHS struggling. Housing crisis. Mental health services with huge waiting lists. Addiction services stretched.
Seems like a perfect climate to begin helping people out of the situation they’re in without having to solve any wicked problems 🙄
I can't think of anything more helpful in an employment tribunal than the employer openly declaring that they don't intend to obey the Equality Act because they don't understand it.
How the **** is this kind to females?! It’s disgusting cheating… & discrimination against women & girls, who get so much less money & profile from sport anyway. We are not 2nd citizens in our own sports category. Get out & compete against other males
That, as Clodagh's sister's book now shows, porn addiction, misogyny and coercive control were part of 'his reasons' is not all that surprising. Yet men's 'unhappiness' can be used to excuse even the most obvious hate and abuse. https://t.co/H6yNtnIIdp
As Colin Barrett's excellent essay 'He had his reasons' pointed out, this completely sidelined the suffering of Clodagh, Liam, Niall and Ryan, positioning them as bit-part players in his tragedy > https://t.co/pAAjNh9JSH
@BitchestheCat@jk_rowling 80-90% of the children at the Tavistock Gender Clinic were same sex attracted.
If trans in naturally occurring in a population where homosexuality is a minority.
How do you explain trans as anything other than gay conversion chemistry and surgery?
Re the Darlington nurses and the heartbreaking story that Karen courageously told at the weekend. For a long, long time I chose not to speak publicly about having experienced sexual assault in my youth, because I knew it would very soon become the 'explainer' as to my feminist campaigning. When I finally did, it was in order to give a stark example of one of the reasons we need single sex spaces and support. I resent, like hell, the reason I chose not to speak and the reason I subsequently felt compelled to.
25 - year old man wrote a guide on how to walk into women only spaces and own them!
Overcoming severe ‘anxiety and fear’ of women’s spaces, he now struts in like he’s always been there. He says you don’t need to be feminine to be allowed in these spaces. They are mine.
Your spaces aren’t yours anymore ….
Broken mother who survived family annihilator Rab Thomson who slaughtered their two children and posed their bodies like angels praying for her to find is living in fear he will be freed soon as we reveal a thousand prisoners released early but just 33 victims were informed.
