One of the new "lady bosses"* at SW has already said she's not going pushing the TWAW agenda but rather focus on improving services for T people.

*humour me! It's my bd today and I've spent the morning writing to the Scottish govt, including asking if they've been SWed.

@FloralBunting

Bomb has probably already been dropped. What you're hearing is the whistling noise in the quiet before it hits...
Anyone care not to speak in code please?

I think it is feasible that when Stonewall started lobbying senior level contacts, following the leaks about Liz Truss’ potential announcement, those same contacts pushed back with their own/public concerns about Stonewall behaviour.

So the Liz Truss statement does not happen, with Boris promising something later in the summer. If it turns about that it is an announcement of Stonewall reform, that is good.

Stonewall is a useful organisation that has lost its way. It has had its own sort of capture. The Tories don’t want to destroy it, and accused of being the anti-gay nasty party. But similarly their instincts are GC. A neat solution would be to cut back on Stonewall overreach prior to the various court cases. And then to have a more constructive debate on the need to reform the GRA with proper weight given to the needs of the most vulnerable, whether female or trans.

Well that is my hope...

What’s Liz Truss been doing? She’s my local MP so would be interested to know her views.

MonsteraCheeseplant · 24/07/2020 12:14

Teasers are annoying I agree, just wait and drop the bomb when appropriate.

EmbarrassingAdmissions · 24/07/2020 12:11

It's a bit more like Jael and Sisera.

If I could produce a 'take a bow' icon then I would. applause

It's odd that this thread is appearing in "Trending Now".

Usually FWR threads don't, even if they are very busy.
That's why confused people are appearing - they have seen the thread in trending and are not usual readers of the FWR board.

I'm wondering why this thread has got through the usual block to appear on the Trending list. And then I'm wondering why there is a usual block?

Superman has a red cape. Just saying.

I wonder if the government is suddenly realising what a waste of time and money it is for the CPS and every council in the country to start withdrawing all their materials which have been based on Stonewall advice and therefore a misrepresentation of the law.

It's a terrible look and an expensive error.

Michelleoftheresistance · 24/07/2020 11:59

Wonder if I randomly drop onto threads with any mention of water and state enough times that water is tortoisephobic hate fluid without bothering to explain further, that it'll catch on?

Not sure anyone on MN is that depressingly dim, but you never know.

BoreOfWhabylon · 24/07/2020 11:56

Oh, I do so hope that this will be a massive wheel falling off the bus

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 24/07/2020 11:53

That awful case of a man with autism being charged after mis-gendering the transman officer should have been enough to make people realise that there is no logic to this stuff.

On tenterhooks.

cdtaylornats · 24/07/2020 11:52

I thought it was about RT going to be shutdown and the SNP being upset by their funds being cut off.

FloralBunting · 24/07/2020 11:51

Red and beginning with S? I'm going to go left field and suggest it's a foolproof cure for Sunburn. The reason we're having to wait is because this summer is so shit and no one is going outside, so they're not rushing.

Thank you

I'm wondering if it's to do with a certain influence within certain police constabularies

Superdrug?
Semichem?
Skittles?

Winesalot · 24/07/2020 11:45

Is a ‘soon day’ code for ‘Sunday’?

And a digger is good at dismantling grey stone walls that may be blocking discussion allowing equitable solutions to be debated.

Not sure about the octopus though. I liked the running budgie.

@FloralBunting

It's not really David and Goliath. It's a bit more like Jael and Sisera.Wink
She was very protective of her female only space....
highame · 24/07/2020 11:42

Just looking at the stuff on twitter, so more of the Conspiraciitus

Afaircop thought the best tweet so far was the S for Spectre with an octopus being blown up

then a comment from Afaircop "that's a Volvo L150" after pic of big digger and massive pile of rocks

Lastly 'A soon day' so doesn't look like today, or maybe they're making sure we don't all start having panic attacks with the suspense

Winesalot · 24/07/2020 11:42

If I were a betting woman, I'd say it'll get exactly the same level of clarification as most of the accusations of transphobia that get made on here.

Yes. Perhaps it is not even based on own research and critical thought. Just what has been said by those wanting to shut down discussion and questioning.

FloralBunting · 24/07/2020 11:40

KenDodd, someone has linked the Fair Cop tweet. It is making hints that something significant in the campaign to protect the rights of women and girls is upcoming soon. That's really all there is atm. But people are enjoying having a guess about what it might be, and what they would like to see.

Winesalot · 24/07/2020 11:39

Pleeease can somebody explain for people who know nothing.

So if you have read wearefaircop’s tweet, you have as much knowledge as we do. That is why we are developing conspiracy theories to keep us occupied while waiting. If you don’t know Fair Cop’s history, their website is probably a good place to start.
