James Kirkup cheerleading for Justine!

Absolutely brilliant article. Will be clicking and sharing widely.

Artemis how do we do this please?

Thank you James and Justine! Free speech is a cornerstone of democracy.

Rosenburg and everyone ... "Maria MacLachlan was told by a judge to refer to her male attacker as a female ".

There is a petition letter, drawn up by lawyers, about to be sent to the Judicial Complaints Board about this. There are currently 300 signatories. Anyone can sign it, they just have to email their name to the person keeping the list. The names will never be made public, only one person is keeping the list and it will only ever be used for this one letter.

I signed up for the free articles a while ago for James' excellent GC pieces. Another great article here. Amazing how none of this ideology stands up to scrutiny and is all based on bullying and gaslighting.

I have emailed my MP twice and get the feeling that she is onside but not publicly

Ah, Douglas Murray I won't be taking out a subscription, but thank you James and Justine

Subscribed to the Spectator also. Seems like a breakthrough finally calling out our cowardly MPs

And I will be subscribing to The Spectator this evening.

Terrific article James.
Sadly more men need to speak up so that women can be taken seriously. I hate that that’s the way it is but it’s something I recognise to be true.

I’m very interested to work out which MPs are too scared to speak out. This is why we need to write and talk to our representatives because maybe they’ll have the bloody backbone to support free speech on this topic if they know enough of us demand it.

Thank you, Justine Roberts and James Kirkup.

@RoadToTerfdom thanks, I think you might be right ;)

It's about time I subscribed to The Spectator. I've been using my free monthly articles on Douglas Murray but there is so much good content.

And thanks Mumsnet, much appreciated.

I took out a subscription to The Spectator on the basis of his articles.

Worth showing Elizabeth Truss some support on twitter if people appreciate her backing free speech and women's right to discuss their concerns.

It shouldn't have to be a brave thing to say that but in the current political climate must still take a lot of guts.

And the more voices showing this matters the better, and easier for others to speak up too.

I think if James Kirkup were here, he might appreciate being told directly that I think he's a fine gentleman and I thank him very much for his support.

I would also like to say that I tried to take your username and was extremely miffed that it had already been taken. Hurmff.

I've asked for a subscription for my birthday- largely down to James's articles on the GC debate

If you sign up to the Spectator you get a certain number of free articles per week.

Thanks James! Brilliant article .

I'm off to check out how much a subscription to The Spectator is...

Thank you James and by extension Fraser Nelson.

I'm taking out a Spectator subscription.

Hurrah for Elizabeth Truss and hurrah for democracy.

Thank you for standing up for free speech for women. It means an awful lot.

You're right pombear - these activists don't care why women might need this space, they are the bully who will snatch someone's toy away only to snap it in half.
Why are their demands given any time at all?
What have they ever done for women? When have they ever supported women?

They don't even go here!

Excellent.
I am so horrified to clearly see what cowards our politicians seem to be.
Off to see my MSP next week - MP hasnt even responded yet

Caldonia agree there is plenty to write about on this topic and it has now attracted a range of commenters from even the Guardian. Am wondering if more investigative type journalists from the newspaper side are also watching.

Elizabeth Truss supports Justine via Twitter :)

Doh! Thanks RosenbergW.

And to all those who are on main active boards going 'oh ffs, not another 'trans' thread'. "Hide".

It's not.

It's a pro-woman thread. Like most of the threads here.

Think about it: Mumsnet, that's given you "MIL threads", "Brian from Hull" threads, "Zombie threads", "style and beauty", "what colour gray for this room" "how do I leave my abusive partner" threads.

They're under attack from people who want to tell you #nodebate. They don't care about the support this site gives to women. They want to make a point, and aim to torpedo anyone who won't support their point of view.

Even Brexit, Trump, etc, has not targeted Mumsnet. Ask yourself why?

This place is the epitome of, "yep, we're going to talk about this thing". Don't let it be killed by the voices of, mainly, males, who don't like what you say.
