Living through the Sturgeon era in Scotland as a 'gender critical' feminist has not just been difficult, it has been - at times - impoverishing and genuinely frightening. Really appreciate readers of this week's column (see last tweet.)

I enjoyed myself writing it. 🦊😎

But we, the wives, are not allowed to talk about it and when we do we are called nasty names. And some of us have our work cancelled because we have not been
‘Kind’ about our abusers.

Married autogynephiles always repeat the same pattern: emotional abandonment, humiliating their wives in public, and destroying their children’s stability — all part of their fetish...

These men are domestic abusers in dresses...

[Abigail Ottley @row51203]

That poor, poor woman. I’ve been in her position. I know what she must have suffered.

[Jonny Bell @Jonnywsbell]

For married autogynephile "Joanne", publicly humiliating his wife is core to his fetish...

The Supreme Court has ruled that under UK law, trans people never had the rights people like you insisted they had. You misrepresented the law and cheered on the removal of women’s rights. Trans people have lost nothing except the mistaken belief you fostered.

[Women Create (UK and International) #FreeBetty @Women_Create_UK]

Shocking behaviour from @KateClanchy1 's publisher. This is why we firmly support her and other cancelled female creatives; a culture like this is anathema to the creative thriving of women and girls everywhere.

And we, the women who have been married to these men and have known the truth about them for decades, are punished if we so much as breathe a single word!

[Jo Bartosch @jo_bartosch]

It is really important to realise that the colonisation of women's spaces by men is because many are following 'sissification' tasks and scripts like these. That's why they want in & why they're so angry when they're told No.

@msjlindsay @MartinaSassyGal It was the Christmas of 2017 for me. At a Labour CLP social, I entered into a conversation about self-id foolishly thinking my arguments would be heard and respected. I was bullied out of the PZ Labour Party and outed as a ‘bigot’ and ‘transphobe’. My life changed 4ever that day.

@msjlindsay Enjoy! ☺️

ITV is filming a drama about Queen Elizabeth I that will portray her as a trans-identifying man who hid his sex and became queen. She will be played by a trans-identifying man, of course.

I am so tired of this sh!t. Any historical woman who stepped outside of the narrow gender roles men tried to force upon her gets transed, and this particular idea is even more insulting to women than portraying Elizabeth as a woman who secretly identified as a man.

Almost as insulting is the stupidity level of the entire premise. Had Elizabeth been born male, she’d have been Henry VIII’s immediate successor, Anne Boleyn wouldn’t have lost her head, and Jane Seymour would never have wed Henry or produced Edward. We’d also have avoided Bloody Mary. There would have been absolutely no reason to hide a male child’s sex from a king who so desperately wanted a male heir that he broke from the Church in an effort to secure one.

Listen to her. She breaks down the con game. Even if you think you know it, this is an excellent analysis. Kudos MJ! It helps to be able to label the con.

[Colin Wynter KC @QcWynter]

Maeve is very good.
Rational, coherent, persuasive and intense, with flourishes of brio.
Best of all, she is very obviously fearless.
Those are most excellent qualities.

@nickwallis What a courageous woman. Thank you for sharing this.

Read for more on Abbi Ottley @row51203's removal from Arts Council England's Aftershock magazine for not being sufficiently "sex positive". @jo_bartosch is eminently and aptly scathing of the Arts Council's (and broader society's ) hypocrisy. 1/3
