Dress however you please.
Call yourself whatever you like.
Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you.
Live your best life in peace and security.
But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real?

@WilliamJHague @michaelpforan The words are good, but speakers like Michael Foran need to know how it is to be achieved, and how to prevent speakers and attendees alike from being hounded and vilified.

Mr. Davies,

For a brief, fleeting 10-15 years, WE ALMOST HAD IT. The years between 1998-2012, roughly, we were very close, when no one really gave a damn either way. I remember it distinctly. An enormous shift in attitude’s & acceptance had occurred, after the horrors of being gay in the 80’s to the early-mid 90’s.

I was NOT alone in feeling this, even amongst the upper echelons of the ‘Gay Mafia’ I used to hang around with said the same.

The original aim was EQUALITY & we were, more or less, there.

Then along came identity politics, gender ideology & Que*r Theory, which screwed everything up.

Stonewall’s CEO, Ruth Hunt, said in 2014/15, & I quote, that their shift in focus was “known to be controversial, that it would be difficult, that people would LOSE by that & that herself & the staff thought THAT WAS A PRICE WORTH PAYING.” In other words, they KNEW this would receive pushback, yet were unwilling to listen or engage with those of us who had serious concerns.

A subsequent Stonewall CEO, Nancy Kelley, called lesbians “sexual racists” for not including men in their dating pool.

Michael Cashman called for those who had questions, predominantly women, about this shift to be “defecated upon” & there was “no debate” to be had.

And NOW look where we are.

Look around at the utter mess we’re in.

If you’re going to “look at yourself as an idiot”, at least be aware of WHY you might feel that way & what part you, yourself, played in it.

You cannot cheerlead & encourage an ideology that has caused so much destruction & damage, & then pretend to be flummoxed as to the reasons WHY everything has got so much worse.

Just so we’re clear…

@bindelj @Rookerylaw @michaelpforan Pathetic. If they had the courage of their convictions they could have stayed and listened, and maybe even put forward a decent argument against. But no, Foran must be de-platformed at all costs so no one is allowed to hear the lecture.

@DreyfusJames I’d go with the tower of Ferrero Rocher tbh
Just don’t drop them!

@michaelpforan That’s just disgraceful. And the university admin are happy with this situation?

[Emmy 💜🤍💚 @VeloEmmy]

@TheMandyGall @Glinner They seem curiously coy about using the word ‘fuck’

@Sorelle_Arduino Your mistake is trying to apply logic and common sense here.

The Scottish Court of Session has just ruled that providing multi-user unisex toilets in a primary school amounted to indirect sex discrimination against female pupils.

@hightreebud @LoveWestLothian A special period toilet for girls!?! Unbelievable.
Who are these people?

List of the current Herts/Cambs MPs who want to stop the EHRC guidance being approved. This guidance gives providers help to comply with Equality law inc. the Supreme Court ruling on single-sex spaces and sports. Why do they want to stop providers having clarity? All @LibDems 🧵

If the women’s pond is to be mixed sex then the men’s pond will have to be too. How depressing to lose such a lovely and unique tradition, enjoyed by Londoners for years, at the behest of a handful of unpleasant and coercive men.

[Legal Feminist @legalfeminist]

A Scottish primary school broke the law by failing to provide single-sex toilets: DE and FG v West Lothian Council.

[SEEN in Journalism @JournalismSEEN]

‘Darren Rigby, who sent hoax death threats to schools is jailed’

All girls’ schools were specifically targeted. Rigby ‘threatened to carry out deadly attacks supposedly in response to the treatment of ‘transwomen’’. None of this features in the coverage across outlets, despite the evidence emerging in email evidence and in court, neither does it feature in the Merseyside Police report.

‘I’m going to kill every girl and woman staff member I come across’

‘I'm going to shoot and stab all your girls’

It’s a crime of extreme misogyny in the cause of ‘fighting trans oppression’ but any mention of ‘trans’ has been erased by the police, PA and all news outlets. In addition the BBC report hides the fact that it was a crime against women and girls.
