Apparently Aimee's resigned. Unfortunately the link isn't working so I can't post it here, but I have it on good authority that it's genuine.

Let's hope so.

Perhaps Alan Shearer has worked out that self-ID could be the end of women's football. Talented young male footballers from impoverished backgrounds across the world are pulled into Academies in Britain and elsewhere in Europe. Most wont make the grade and will get chucked out before the age of 18. Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal ladies pay decent salaries, far in excess of what might be on offer back home. With self ID and no requirement to physically transition there could be quite a temptation that was hard to resist.

I'd missed Alan Shearer being added to terfblocker - could it be because of this? www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/worldcup/alan-shearer-hits-out-at-sexist-pigs-who-told-his-daughter-to-move-so-men-could-watch-world-cup-a3885316.html

Apparently, Alan doesn't believe in gendered behaviour, or at least not when it comes to who should watch football.

Wonder if Stonewall recruit using PVG/Disclosure checks.

Melamin · 26/11/2018 09:08

The meteoric rise to such positions for someone so young would indicate great talent, somewhere...

or they are just short of people to volunteer?

Needmoresleep · 26/11/2018 08:57

I note that according to her Twitter profile, AC is now secretary of Stonewall's Trans Advisory Group.

Given Stonewall's dominant and influential position, including in schools, I would see this as a powerful position for someone so young.

Alan shearer

Agrresive northerner
Explains it all

bitheby · 04/09/2018 22:50

Never did I think this thread would give me a belly laugh. Alan Shearer? ConfusedGrin

SausageOnAFork · 04/09/2018 16:56

I am enjoying CL now being on Terf blocker.
It really does go to show how petty some people can be.

BobHolness · 04/09/2018 14:31

Well after the Executive elections, most of her friends have gone.

AC's post will also need a by-election now that she's quit.

Icantreachthepretzels · 04/09/2018 13:55

Alan Shearer! Grin Grin Grin I love it.
I like him well enough - but I don't suppose for a minute he has much awareness of or interest in the tenets of radical feminism. To find out he is one - and a trans exclusionary one at that - must be quite the surprise for him. If he's noticed ...

James Kirkup Spectator Article today includes reference to 'Terfblocker' and Dr Adrian Harrop:
'How Caroline Lucas fell foul of the transgender thought police'
(extract)
"Yet Lucas is now on the pyre, facing online chastisement for crimes against transgenderism. She’s a Terf! Burn her!

Or rather, Block Her! For this is a story partly about Twitter, where too much of the political conversation around gender takes place. It’s also about some truly horrible sexual offences and the Greens’ woeful mishandling of the questions that arise from them. And it’s a story that says a great deal, none of it good, about the politics of the transgender “debate”.

Aimee Challenor was a prominent Green activist. She was the party’s spokesperson on equalities issues and a candidate for the party’s deputy leadership. Aimee Challenor was a Green candidate in the 2017 general election and the 2018 local government elections. In both elections, her election agent was her father, David “Baloo” Challenor.

David Challenor was last month convicted of torturing and raping a ten-year old girl in the attic of the family home. He was charged with those crimes in 2016. So Aimee Challenor was nominated for public office for the Green Party by a man awaiting trial for the most serious sexual offences against a child. (Read more about this here, if you want to.) Aimee Challenor was aware of her father’s arrest at the time she accepted his nomination; at least some Green Party officials knew too." (continues)

Louis Theroux?? He did quite a sympathetic piece on trans teenagers not so long ago.

TriptychTwins · 04/09/2018 08:44

I wonder what Alan Shearer did? Is it to do with balls I wonder?

So Asda has tough Terf Grin
other supermarkets are available

NotBadConsidering · 04/09/2018 08:29

I googled “Asda TERF” and got this:

groceries.asda.com/product/lawn-care/grosure-tough-grass-lawn-seed/910001805889

calpop · 04/09/2018 08:15

What did the whole of Asda do? I must tell my transsexual friend (fully transitioned before changing name, thinks it's hilarious, not 'triggering" when my mum can't remember new name and uses old name) who works in IT there that she is not trans enough.

Alan Shearer haha

They're just petulant spoilt brats arent they? Soon everyone apart feom a few TRAs will be on Terf Blocker. Hilarious, but also sad. Damaged children becoming damaging adults.

Floisme · 04/09/2018 07:21

Hell I go out for the evening and when I wake up Caroline Lucas is on Terfblocker Shock
Watch out Owen Jones, you’re next.

NotBadConsidering · 04/09/2018 05:57

If Dunkin’ Donuts changed their name to Dunkin’ Do-holes, maybe they could get themselves unblocked.

Destinysdaughter · 04/09/2018 05:50

EmmaGrundyForPM I’ve thought that for a long time!

Destinysdaughter · 04/09/2018 05:49

Pmsl at ASDA and Dunkin Doughnuts!! 😀😀😀

TriptychTwins · 04/09/2018 05:48

Most definitely. Maybe also with Alison Moyet and Kanye West eating Dunkin' Donuts.

Louis Theroux

Don't you think this whole debacle is crying out for a Louis Theroux style of documentary?
