Here: www.heraldscotland.com/opinion/16911183.stuart-waiton-why-is-the-state-pushing-harmful-transgender-agenda/#comments-anchor

I can't read it all as I've had my free article allowance this month, but it looks promising. Comments section is 50/50 despair/heartening

The Herald is one of Scotland's main broadsheets.

Flipping heck, Charlie is amazing! If she isn't already speaking out in other areas too, she should be - it would be great to have her onboard at FPFW or similar!

Charlie is ace!

I got very emotional reading the article and the comments.

First of all, it addressed the question that has tortured me from the beginning - Why is the State pushing this dangerous ideology? Why?

And then to read the tightly argued case, all backed up with evidence, by the amazing Charlie - in the face of prejudice, assumptions, ignorance and half-arsed bat-shittery - left me gasping. I was angry, frustrated and inwardly screaming. And then I was proud and resolute.

Charlie - your contributions to the comments section must have taken a lot of energy and time and anguish. Let me assure you that it was worth it, that it was impressive and that it was breath-takingly persuasive.

Je suis Charlie, too.

She can have a depth charge. Pint with a nice lady like schooner of drambuie dropped in.

Covers all bases, that. Grin

Charlie needs her own article (or even a book!)

A pint @PurpleCrowbar? Surely if she is a lady she'd like a Babycham or a pretty cocktail with an umbrella and a sparkler, to suit her girlbrain? Wink

Yes, well done Charlie!

So many quote MN.
FWR really matters

Charlie was very, very impressive. Fantastic stuff. I'd like to buy that woman a pint.

oh that was brilliant and really helped me understand where this is coming from.

Jillcrewespony · 01/10/2018 21:19

In awe of Charlie's comments. So clear and thoughtfully argued

AncientLights · 01/10/2018 21:14

Charlie Noack is terrific: I take it she's a woman from her writing and she quotes MN. The level of ignorance from those she's educating on there is woeful.

Charlie, are you a MNetter?

You're awesome!

Judder · 01/10/2018 20:37

Wow Charlie is a tour de force
