That was absolutely spot on.

rb67 · 03/02/2018 08:51

Well done that woman.

I also bought the 3 month trial, and wish there had been a way to tell them why I was doing so.

I tweeted @thetimes to say why. I also tag them every time I share an article.

Ereshkigal · 03/02/2018 08:48

Posting her Labour membership number was a great I am Spartacus moment. Go Janice.

EmpressOfJurisfiction · 03/02/2018 08:47

Should I be reading the Times after all? Gosh.

Yes. It has not just Janice but Andrew Gilligan, Lucy Bannerman & Nicholas Hellen, all gender critical.

This is marvellous. The parts of the press who are for whatever reason failing to cover the enormous impact self-Id would have on women while pretending to be all liberal and concerned about things like the President's Club should be ashamed of themselves for calling themselves journalists. Those of you who are reaching article limits please do consider a subscription if you can afford it. They had an online offer of £1 a month for 3 months when I did this.

I had only the theoretical understanding of the importance of a free press before I saw all this. I am now thinking I should be prioritising quality journalism over an occasional latte.

I am impressed. What a concise, erudite article. Well done that woman.

I'm another disenchanted lefty Guardian reader who is questioning her Labour party membership. Should I be reading the Times after all? Gosh.

Great article. Love the comparison with transubstantiation. Thank you Janice! This kind of sanity is balm to the soul at the moment

TallulahWaitingInTheRain · 03/02/2018 08:38

Hurrah!!!

EmpressOfJurisfiction · 03/02/2018 08:35

Quick question: has anyone ever seen Datun and Janice in the same room? I’m starting to wonder if they are one and the same.

Grin Its a great thought but - yes. I've been in a room with both of them.

I actually have. Great to know we have tow such awesome women on our side!

GoodyHemlock · 03/02/2018 08:31

So good.

NaturalBlondeYeahRight · 03/02/2018 08:31

It’s a really good article, isn’t it?

Myunicornfliessideways · 03/02/2018 08:27

That woman is the sole reason I'm now a committed Times reader. Brilliant Janice, clear and straightforward and no getting bogged down in language obscuring facts.

EmyRoo · 03/02/2018 08:17

It is an excellent article; huge thanks to Janice for sticking her head above the parapet it such an articulate manner - we should not post the whole verbatim text though, now there is a share token link, for copyright reasons.

LadyCassandra · 03/02/2018 08:16

IC thanks for that info. I feel like (and I may be wrong) that this issue has found its way into mainstream media in the UK, but not over here. When I mention it to anyone they have never even considered it. The only time I noticed the transgender issue was during the SSM debate in those hideous adverts for the no campaign.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 03/02/2018 08:11

Nails it.

athingthateveryoneneeds · 03/02/2018 08:10

I was literally cheering and punching the air reading that. Yessssss.

gassylady · 03/02/2018 08:08

Just brilliantly written and makes the points so clearly

brizzledrizzle · 03/02/2018 08:03

The article to end all articles.

Alwaysinmyheart · 03/02/2018 08:03

What a clear and well argued article, thank you Janice! I like how she also makes the point that the genuine Trans women are equally as horrified at this as the rest of us.

Thanks for posting this OP, really appreciate it.

Ereshkigal · 03/02/2018 07:59

Such a great article!

Sorry LadyCassandra it’s state based rather than federal www.humanrights.gov.au/publications/section-8-protection-discrimination-basis-sex-andor-gender-identity-addressing-sexual
