Attack on Fair Play for Women in the Indie

I'm non-binary and I was approached by an anti-trans campaigner on the street. This is what I learnt.

There are too many highlights (sarcasm) to mention. Lies too. The comment section is a bit of a treasure trove too.

The Independent was the only national not to apologize for wrongly claiming last November that FPFW lied about the number of transwomen in prison for sex offences.

Any chance the Independent is trying for another bite at the cherry? Surely not.

Is that what passes for journalism these days?

A load of very obviously made up bollocks , not even dressed up in a well written piece, it reads like a made up encounter in a (young) teenagers diary!

Do they honestly think we are stupid? It’s like oh if we just keep telling you that women aren’t at risk from sharing their spaces with penises then you will believe us eventually- no we won’t because the evidence clearly shows we have every reason to be worried!!!

Yeah the bit about the woman never having heard of Owl sounded kind of like bullshit as well.

I have been out leafleting for FPFW. We have been working in groups, not alone, and not at night time. Most of us have been pretty anxious about getting out there and starting conversations. I really really doubt this is a true story.

Fascinating how the author sees the value of private trans onlyspace whilst disregarding women’s desire for our own space. They just can’t see it, can they.

My friend, who is a neuroscientist, told her that all the science points to trans people being real

Grin Grin

Oh gosh there was me thinking they were a figment of my imagination.

Interesting to see Dawn Butler's speech there.

How are you supposed to know if someone is non binary?

littlbrowndog · 10/09/2018 21:58

The indie is a shite rag. No one reads it tbf
