Baroness Nicholson on twitter

Let's hope she puts this one down to sometimes you're just not going to be able to resolve an interpersonal conflict and moves on, because we need her to keep doing exactly what she has been doing. There's no reason people can't also help her come to a better understanding of why what she tweeted upset so many women, it's not an either/or situation.

This particular thread demonstrates that countless women on twitter are asking her to ignore the infighting and move on. It's very frustrating when individual egos get involved and try to dominate the narrative but twas ever thus. That's why their single mindedness can be so successful elsewhere.

Some feminists on Twitter have complained about the Baroness' comments about - as far as I can tell - domestic violence survivors.

From what I can see she made one single tweet which said 'Crazy to remain' about someone living with an abuser.

She had loads of replies which explained why this was an inappropriate comment and she apologised to the person she had replied to.

But they won't let go. She has to be cancelled. As someone on there has said, no amount of grovelling apologies will ever be enough.

Jesus wept, I hope she didn't mean that she would pull out.

We've finally got someone with power and insight and the will to use both.

Some feminists on Twitter have complained about the Baroness' comments about - as far as I can tell - domestic violence survivors. I can't see exactly the tweets concerned, but it seemed that the Baroness offered to withdraw entirely from the subject of women's rights if she was hurting the cause. I think she had been accused of being dismissive of women who stayed?

From what I can see now, other people are encouraging her to continue. So hopefully she'll apply the same lightly held determination as she has done so far.

Why do the TRAs’ work for them?

arghhhhh FFS!

do people never learn?

the baroness has done more to shine sunlight on this in a fortnight than many others have been able to do in several years. the reasons of that is because she is who she is - she has clout and she's not afraid. godsake why do people do this?

What's happening? I'm not on Twitter

I see the usual cohorts are circling the Baroness like jackals.

How dare they!

I am so angry. Park their bloody egos up their backsides.

The Baroness DID apologise and try to build bridges. Of course she was rejected, She's too successful and the "wrong" political party for others to want to see her make a difference to all our lives

She's done more in 3 short weeks than those others have in years of self satisfied blogs.

I saw what happened to Posie Parker and it was DISGRACEFUL. I
can't bear to see it happen to another good woman.

Who needs TRAs when these "feminists" will work against any woman getting the adulation they lust for.

Hear, hear, Kittens.

I really wish that those currently going after the Baroness in the name of feminism would stop and think of the big picture. Work with rather than against her.

That letter to Ms Anonymous. ''Your recourse to ''assigned'' is a marker to ideological pedantry, detached from reality''. Just wonderful

I'm going to commit that sentence to memory.

Of course Brexit provided an ideal opportunity to ramp things up. Nobody was paying attention.

The government went along because they perceived it as (1) appealing to younger voters and (2) being a zero-cost option. That is, any impacts would only be on insignificant areas and groups. These assumptions were valid until women starting to make enough noise for politicians to realise that this could indeed cost them.

Very true, truth.

The government have been in power since 2010. They have watched as the civil service have been regulatory captured by lobby groups and not just stood by but actively funded these awful organisations as they engaged on a wholesale exercise of targeting children in schools and young people in universities (along with sport, businesses and so on).
They are desperate that the public don't join up the dots or follow the money as more and more outrageous issues emerge via the efforts of so many women and an increasingly sceptical press.

Sorry for causing confusion Winesalot I mistakenly referred to you when I should have referred to the link by digbee:

www.gov.uk/government/publications/keeping-children-safe-in-education--2

I get the sense of people backing away from a clusterfuck.

The DfE Equality Act guidance that the letter refers to (link below) not only prioritises gender reassignment out of all the protected characteristics (because of course that is the most important focus when working with children ) but the guidance specifically directs schools to GIRES along with referencing the awful Cornwall trans guidelines that advocate parental alienation (page 17)
Bullying (page 16) also generates two suggestions that schools look at the Stonewall and GIRES websites about bullying - again no other organisations are mentioned.
Apart from links to the EHRC & Gov.uk there are zero links to any other organisations in that key DfE advice about equality legislation - not in relation to race, religion, sex or any of the other protected characteristics. Only transgender lobby groups are referenced.

How the writer of that letter can claim that the DfE don't endorse these organisations defies belief. Perhaps someone on twitter could advise the Baroness that the DfE do not appear to know the contents of their own advice to schools and the extent to which trans lobby groups are being given the DfE seal of approval?
