Good job Pinky!!😃

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 07/03/2018 16:43

Good Smile I guess that as you are an organisation, and as it went through 2 committees, then you can all stand together.

PinkyPieismyspiritanimal · 07/03/2018 16:33

@ItsAllGoingtobeFine - slim.

SnibbleAgain · 07/03/2018 16:23

very nice job pinky & advocates

RedToothBrush · 07/03/2018 16:22

Terfy = rational.

I'd live to see a barrister argue a point of law based on their inner feelings alone.

Practical implications and reality aren't about politics and apologies. Separation of politics and the legal system and all that.

Excellent PinkyPieismyspiritanimal

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 07/03/2018 16:17

Pinky What are the chances of the Faculty retracting and apologising once they get leant on?

EmpressOfJurisfiction · 07/03/2018 16:15

Brilliant job, Pinky!

PinkyPieismyspiritanimal · 07/03/2018 16:15

Ha Ha! Thanks :)

Advocates are not dead Terfy really - very mixed in terms of sexuality etc. I would say that they are dead sensible and foresee trouble if a law is changed for the sake of perceived progression. There are huge issues here that have not been properly considered in terms of the law.

LineysInTheSnow · 07/03/2018 16:15

Good stuff.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 07/03/2018 16:12

Hopefully coming from a (well respected) organisation, it'll have more impact than an individual response too.

SnibbleAgain · 07/03/2018 16:09

Well done Pinky.

Do you think that the committees it had to go are well up with everything that's going on, or do you think they know you are sensible and read it and it sounded very sensible and so said yes fine? Just so many threads on here saying that much of the general public esp men haven't really given this much thought.

OR are the advocates dead terfy?

By the way I love the style of it when I was reading it I thought, this is the way to write documents that sound assertive and professional and expert. The "We note" and "we acknowledge" - it's great.

HairyBallTheorem · 07/03/2018 15:56

Fabulous Pinky. A much more articulate version of the points I tried to make in my response.

Lemonjello · 07/03/2018 15:53

Good thinking Wink

PinkyPieismyspiritanimal · 07/03/2018 15:52

Yes... I have put masking tape on the windows and identified as a street pigeon.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 07/03/2018 15:50

Oh well done, Pinky. It's good to know that the MN TERF army has infiltrated all areas of society. Wink

Lemonjello · 07/03/2018 15:48

Fantastic. Very well done to you pinky.

I’d be interested in what kind of response you get now it is public.

picklemepopcorn · 07/03/2018 15:46

Hooray! I do hope it is met with the interest it deserves.

PaddingtonLoverOfMarmalade · 07/03/2018 15:45

Ooohh, the power of having women in important roles. Long may it continue.

PinkyPieismyspiritanimal · 07/03/2018 15:43

It's been through two committees to get to this stage and a few small changes were made to the initial draft. No one has said anything untoward about it or expressed any concerns of any sort.
