You couldn't make this up - Julie Bindle no platformed at @truth2powercafe

Peter Tatchell is the biggest wimp and must be a misogynist because if it were a gay man or a Transwoman he would be all over it with his Free Speech BS. I am proud of all these strong women who say it like it is, they are not afraid! Julie has put up with this BS for decades, she is the true Free Speech warrior. It just shows that all these ridiculous farces of “shows”and “performances” and “truth to power” crap is just a massive FACADE to make the woke bloke feel good and is not based in reality or any true struggle.

I have no time for it. We need more Jonny and less wankers,

“freedom of speech
noun
the power or right to express one's opinions without censorship, restraint, or legal penalty.”

Before long we will have to have everything projected large on buildings so that blithering nitwits like Jeremy, Vijay and Xavier can learn their meanings.

Life will be one huge walking Peter and Jane book.

His wings are like a shield of steel.

And i thought I was the only one who remembered Batfink.

Happy Sunday to you, Jonny. Thanks for keeping on keeping on.

Oh thanks for the info, Jonny.

Great article again.

I don't know if Peter Tatchell actually knew if Julie had been no-platformed when he agreed to speak.

I doubt Peter knew that Julie had been no-platformed when he accepted the gig. But Julie let him know of her no-platforming as soon as it happened, and asked him to speak up. Many others have asked him the same - me included. Peter has so far not said a word in defence of Julie, or given his view of her no-platforming.

"What really struck me about the longer email Goldstein sent to JB is the expectation that, as a woman, she should feel sorry for the dreadful situation he found himself in".

And then when Julie simply said no, quite politely, he went into a male rage and accused her of inciting violence.

Very telling.

Lots of people were tagging Peter Tatchell in tweets about that article asking whether he knew.

No response, but he did post about the death of a transwoman and blame it on people with concerns about the GRA.

He doesn't give a shit about women or Julie being no-platformed.

What really struck me about the longer email Goldstein sent to JB is the expectation that, as a woman, she should feel sorry for the dreadful situation he found himself in.

A lot of the hatred directed towards GC women seems to be motivated by the fact that they're women, and should be looking after and helping and protected men, and instead they're not being nice. As if the men involved have a huge sense of entitlement where women are concerned, and are truly truly angry that GC women are not doing 'woman' properly. Men feeling cheated.

I don't know if Peter Tatchell actually knew if Julie had been no-platformed when he agreed to speak.

To be honest, I can't really imagine Jeremy Goldstein bringing that up to Tatchell beforehand.

Because Goldstein is a weasel.

Just sticking this here. For no reason particular.

Yip, all i see is a shitload of men telling a woman to fucking shut up bitch.

I had redpect for Tatchell (at one point) but he just seems loke a creep, especially concerning women. His latest support for Rachel McKinnon just confirms what i already thought.

The whole thing reads like a comedy sketch. It’s pythonesque

What a lot of male voices denying Julie Bindel a voice. Jeremy Goldstein, Vijay Patel, Xavier de Souza...

Reece Lyons, Peter Tatchell..?

Just catching up on all this.

What a lot of male voices denying Julie Bindel a voice. Jeremy Goldstein, Vijay Patel, Xavier de Souza...

And Jeremy Goldstein is pathetic. Fancy having tne arrogance to devise an event like that and then cave into a quivering heap tne mknute someone says anything uncomfortable to HIM. Saying he has disabled his account for fear of his mental health, when he has aligned himself with people who have hounded others denounced as transphobic anyone who attempts debate, closed down women’s meetings with terror threats, doxxed individuals, reported them to their employers for merely holding a gender critical opinion.... What a hypocrite.

Sunday Times today, 'Activists thwart work on gender law reforms
Academics exploring the legalities of changing sexual identityare being harassed and threatened with violence'

concludes:
"Activists have tried to block an event that [Rosa] Freedman is organising on her campus tomorrow on the “legal implications of reforming the Gender Recognition Act” at which the feminist Julie Bindel is scheduled to speak. Bindel has been no-platformed by some student unions.

A Reading University spokesman insisted the event would go ahead and said the university would try to ensure “healthy and respectful debate”.

He added: “We respect the right of our trans staff and students to self-identify their gender and we have a track record of support for LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender] staff and students.”

Is it wrong that all this makes me want to rock gently in a corner muttering "madness"?

Although I might have to have a maniacal moment of hysterical laughter at the wings and the lady peen poem.

two participants kindly, generously and without prejudice

The author forgot to add that they were stunning and brave.

I’m always very suspicious of nepotism and people who claim to be carrying on the work of their fathers..(rarely if ever said of mothers)

This is comedy gold though:
This week two participants kindly, generously and without prejudice brought to my attention their concerns over the inclusion of Bindel on the line-up at Roundhouse.

It’s still not too late to cite the examples of the violence that Julie B has apparently called for..? Or, are there actually not any?

I’m pointing this out kindly, generously and without prejudice.

Jonathan Best is a gay man.

He is terrific.

But yes, outnumbered at the moment.

And take Peter Tatchell and Wee Woke Owen with you.

Gay men are really making it clear how little they care about women, and especially lesbians.

At least Julie won't have to sit through "I am a Woman and I have a penis". Every cloud etc

Betty my interpretation was that Roundhouse had cancelled on support if the TRAs, not something they should be applauded for unless I’ve totallt misinterpreted their statement.

Jonathan Best's article is brilliant.

A story told very simply - Goldstein skewered by his own words.
