In her speech, Penny Mordaunt didn't have to remind the audience that they were living in turbulent times. There were protesters outside. Grin

She didn't have to remind the people who had paid up to £400 for a ticket that things weren't going to plan.

Too right. There were women outside singing bawdy songs about the difference between the sexes.

She told the audience that she couldn't promise to please all the people all the time. In other words, self i/d was going tits up and there was nothing she could do about the resurgence of a noisy resistance movement.

Pandora's box has been opened.

Women will never go back into the box.

Hear us roar (well not roar exactly - hear us sing, more like!)

Thumbs up and a round of applause to wonderful lesbians

Brilliant!

Wtf is "glinner confirmed"?? (A reply to the tweet)

The backlash used to be American news magazines publishing articles about how a college-educated woman over forty was more likely to be shot by a terrorist than find a husband.

Now it's the total erasure of women.

Someone on that twitter thread mentioned that Stonewall also omitted 'age' as a factor of inequality.

Can't have those old crones or uterus-bearers poking their noses in and getting any equality, can we?

"So the next time staff came for me I started shouting as loudly as I could, over and over, 'Transwomen are Men! Stop Transing Children! Let Lesbians be Lesbians! Transing children is Child Abuse! '. This attracted a lot of attention. People filmed and took photos. Two large people stood in front of me to block me. I dodged them and walked around the room, shouting my message like an Old Testament prophet."

Fantastic. Brave, brave woman.

But lesbians ostracised from Stonewall, for being, well, lesbians - on Lesban Day of Visibility - is just unreal. Sex no longer being listed as a factor of inequality - while the Minister for Women and Equalities looks on and and makes speeches about the stunning and brave trans - unbelievable.

The world has lost it's fucking mind.

I think I'll have to retreat into my safe space now (my kitchen with a Brew ) and hyperventilate a bit.

Given the size of the turnout shouldn't they have called themselves 'Barely Visible'?

"the most powerful male rights movement since the first army was invented"

Too right. Awful to hear that another lesbian woman has been physically manhandled all to defend the trans agenda.

Love the photo of the milk jugs. Sums it all up.

JellySlice · 29/04/2019 12:52

Hannah's description of the speeches and atmosphere sound exactly like an MLM conference.

TheMostBeautifulDogInTheWorld · 29/04/2019 11:56

Why is she minister for Minister for Women and Equalities?

Presumably her apprearance at this conference amounted to her formal announcement that "Women" have been officially dropped from the brief. Because ...

twitter.com/FeministRoar/status/1121729423894564864

… Stonewall's presentation on factors driving workplace inequalities left out sex altogether. Completely. Entirely omitted. Not even mendaciously replaced by "gender".

Just … vanished.

Outanabout · 29/04/2019 11:12

What a brilliant article, and how brave she was! I wouldnt have had the balls to do that.

Saw a brilliant version of Wonderwall on Twitter, Bonerwall, will see if I can find it...

TheInebriati · 29/04/2019 11:03

So Penny didn't rock up 2 weeks late and talk about transport?

Why is she minister for Minister for Women and Equalities?

Lesbians protesting against stonewall

What a mess they’ got themselves into

Ereshkigal · 29/04/2019 10:55

I am in awe of her.

LangCleg · 29/04/2019 10:52

still calling out my prophecies

Completely brilliant. She does all that and can still make a witch joke. What a sister.

SarahTancredi · 29/04/2019 10:42

Translation- you wont listen to a different viewpoint and we will stop you from doing so.

Isnt that what abusers do? Constantly chaperone their victims about incase they speak to someone?

Ereshkigal · 29/04/2019 10:21

Then Ruth Hunt spoke again about 'tensions' i.e. the protesters outside. She said that delegates should not speak to them, and if they absolutely had to go out for a smoke break, they could ask a member of Stonewall staff to go with them! So much for promoting debate and discussion about LGBT rights. Most of them out there were lesbians or concerned parents of young children who are having the transagenda pushed at them in school.

MockerstheFeManist · 27/04/2019 17:48

Good Old Pandora for showing us all her box.

BuzzPeakWankBobbly · 27/04/2019 17:24

I saw the FB live yesterday and was very impressed and heartened.

But I didn't realise Mordaunt was doubling down and actually speaking there too?! Really digging in on her position there, sticking a massive 2 fingers up to everything she's heard from concerned ACTUAL women.

hipsterfun · 27/04/2019 17:21

That’s really nice. Thanks, Michelle.

DobbysLeftSock · 27/04/2019 16:46

Oh I'm going to have those songs in my head all day... Grin

Michelleoftheresistance · 27/04/2019 16:43

I’m aware of the possibility this line may be hurtful to those with Swyer or CAIS.

Oh come on. I don't flop all over the boards wailing that people talking about uteruses working, and pregnancies not ending in disaster and having children is hurtful to me, because I'm an emotionally competent person with a grasp on the fact that my body is an exception to a norm and everybody's life is not all about me. And I've worked through my feelings about that thanks, because it's my responsibility, no one else's, and it's not the job of strangers to police their language constantly to protect me.

In fact I'd find that really quite condescending if they did.

Michelleoftheresistance · 27/04/2019 16:39

Stonewall. Called the police to report lesbians saying that lesbians are homosexual women.

Grin

Yes, lets get that in all the papers please. Fabulous publicity.

If he doesn’t want to lose it
Even though he doesn’t use it

If the chromosome’s a Y, he will always be a guy

The lyrics won’t have been written by geneticists, and I transcribed verbatim as a PP requested, but I’m aware of the possibility this line may be hurtful to those with Swyer or CAIS.
