MAEVE FRICKING HALLIGAN 🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is Maeve's full speech from last night vs Helen Webberley and others. It will go down in history as a defining moment in the struggle for women and LGBs in the face of trans ideology.

Helen Webberley is called out and a trans person in the audience even calls Webberley "nothing but a grifter" to her face.

Remember the rules- if you're head of clinic or on the board of NHS commissioning programme, you can give interviews slagging off gender critics, tweet gender identity propaganda all day long, be draped in flags, it's all fine. If you disagree, you have to be silent as grave.

[Stella O'Malley @stellaomalley3]

The latest figures show that
- roughly 2% of female prisoners were in for sex crimes;
- 19% of male prisoners were in for sex crimes
-and 62% of transwomen were in for sex crimes.

Wow, this is just as good as everyone says it is. If you haven't listened yet, you are in for a treat. Not a wasted word, and you could hear a pin drop.

Why do women have to go through all this to achieve the bare minimum?

A changing room that excludes men.

How many men do we have to deal with in our spaces, sports and services before this shit ends?

'Trans' is such a shameful chapter in Western history.

[Dr. Dr. P: "I said what I said". @Psychgirl211]

Dear @Simone_Biles

As a Western Black woman who's old enough to be your grandmother, I'm going to bring race into this.

You are defending 'Trans people', a group that routinely compares Black women to men.

We (including you) are regarded as a less 'feminine'; a less 'appealing' iteration of femaleness, who are by biology, more analogous to 'Transw***n' than are our White counterparts.

By supporting the concept that one can 'identify' out of, or into, a chosen demographic, you are also defiling the memory and struggles of our ancestors.

How many of them could 'identify' out of being Black, even those who tried to pass?

How many were able to 'identify' out of being called 'Boy', or 'Girl', or 'N****r'?

How many were able to 'identify' out of chattel slavery and then Jim Crow?

The world is real, Simone, we cannot alter it by magical thinking and nobody is obliged to participate in another person's delusions that they have changed sex.

And, Simone, you further spit on the memory of every one of your Black grandmothers who never had the opportunities that have been accorded to you.

Women who, because of the double disadvantage of being Black and female and of being born at the wrong time in history, were, despite their talents and skills, largely consigned to lives of involuntary domestic service and manual labour.

You, luckily, were born in a time when your skills and attributes were recognised and so you could shine like the star you are.

But by defending men and boys in dresses who want to obliterate women's sports, you pile betrayal upon betrayal.

You betray ALL girls, regardless of their race, who want to achieve sporting success.

And you worsen this betrayal this by comparing @Riley_Gaines_ to a man!

The very same accusations made against Black women.

The very same accusations made against you (and your style of gymnastics).

And it's not just about what happens in public.

Women and girls have been forced to change and shower and undress in front of boys and men.

Their public violation is compounded by a loss of privacy, of safety, of bodily autonomy.

Of trust.

As a survivor of sexual abuse by your own coach, how can you not comprehend this?

How can you give tearful testimony against Larry Nassar and so movingly describe the "horror" you experienced, yet be blind to the horrors faced by other women and girls?

You describe there being an "entire system that enabled and perpetrated" the abuse against you.

Simone, you are now defending that system.

I can't decide whether your "transphilic" comments are cynical opportunism aimed at garnering attention for your Netflix documentary, or whether you are really this uninformed and unfeeling.

Either way, you should now seriously reflect on your choices or ignorance.

Maybe, sit down and have a quiet word with your 'aunties'. And also speak with any of the hundreds of women and girls whose dreams have been smashed by psychopathic transvestites who have bludgeoned their way into female sports.

Count yourself lucky and direct your compassion and empathy towards these women and girls.

Not towards cheating, tucking, painted, lying opportunistic transvestites.

Child, 'Trans people' are not your friends.

You are being used.

Fix up!

[TERFs ‘r’ us ©️ @Terfs_R]

I was born female.

You were not. So you try to dehumanize me.

I am not an idea.
I am not a non-man.
I am not a costume.
I am not a fetish.
I am not a birthing parent.
I am not a menstruator.
I am not a uterus haver.
I am not a chest feeder.
I am not an ovulator.
I am not a c1s woman.
I am not a lipstick.
I am not a wig.
I am not a dress.
I am not a surgical wound.
I am not hormones.
I don’t have a ‘front hole’.

I am the original. Not the copy.

I am a woman.

I (regrettably) shared my Imane Khelif article on my personal Facebook profile. Old former friends immediately signaled their disgust at my views—despite not having read the article—and responded with condescending faux confusion: “Why do you care so much?”

This is why ⬇️

[Jennifer Sey @JenniferSey]

I’ve made thousands of ads in my career. Most of them for Levi’s.

I’ve never been more proud of an ad than this one. This little 30 second film shows what the culture is doing to girls. Telling them to sit down, be quiet, set their own rights aside. For boys.

Please watch.

[Le_Sorelle_Arduino KPSS @Sorelle_Arduino]

Victoria McCloud thinks the danger to him using the men’s is greater than the danger to women of men self ID’ing in ours because women will outnumber the single man (not always, lots of loos are quiet)

He is demanding women act as human shields for cross dressing men

No

[onjali rauf @OnjaliRauf]

Sometimes I wake up wondering if the world doesn't have a secret timeturner specifically designed to turn the clock back on women's rights.

Because how is it 2025, and we're here celebrating female nurses "winning" back a female-only changing room?!?

In a recent interview, I was challenged on my assertion that activists insist "trans women" are literal women.

The host seemed to think I was lying, which was irritating. But I understand his skepticism. Some things are too stupid to believe.

Yet, the evidence is abundant.

[John Wilkinson @MuuPuklip]

@HJoyceGender The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

The law does not exist if the demand to lie is placed above the requirement to speak the truth.

The Trans cranks are seeking to undermine and destroy the entire body of law.

[Progressive Misogyny @JustMisogyny]

I liked the bit on @BBCWomansHour when Robin Barry White said he was a woman and the interviewer said, "That's your interpretation".

Just joking: she only said that to @HJoyceGender when she stated a fact.

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

Can you imagine going through your whole life faceless, with no identity and completely dehumanized?

This is what oppression looks like.

If you’re going to be an expert in women’s rights, you might want to be able to define a woman first.
