^The tweet wasn't actually in question, slashlover We've seen it.
Your assertion that those organisations are "anti trans" needs some clarification, though?^

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.

As an aside while we wait , *@FloralBunting*...

It's not really David and Goliath. It's a bit more like Jael and Sisera.

I've always said that when I'm In Charge, if publishers still insist on producing bibles marketed 'for women' they will, by law, have to have Jael on the cover.

As you were.

My bible knowledge is lacking there.

Every day is a learning day on FWR Grin

off to google............

Freezer, I've wondered about a t-shirt with a symbolic tent peg on it before, but it's probably a touch too violent for my ethics. But I do like the positioning of a courageous woman defeating her oppressor by catching him off guard. It's how we roll.

And there I was, thinking it was about Alfie Moore who does that It's A Fair Cop r4 programme.Sad

@CillaTape

Yeah, what's that about then?

Also just seen the tweet from the MP about belief and reality, its literally the most ironic thing I have EVER SEEN.

Is it anything like the one that says debate is a fetish?
MsMarvellous · 24/07/2020 11:30

Saw that last night. Trying not to get hopes up.

I'm sure I read somewhere that trans people with same sex attraction can be members of the LGB alliance. If so, how can they be anti Trans?

NotBadConsidering · 24/07/2020 11:14

If same sex attraction = anti-trans, then trans = homophobia.

Here's the tweet in question.

SarahTancredi · 24/07/2020 11:10

What is anti trans about recognising same sex attraction and advocating fir NHS approved watchful waiting approach slash

Thisismytimetoshine · 24/07/2020 11:08

@slashlover

Just searched twitter as I also had no idea. Apparently WeAreFairCop are tweeting about Stonewall.

Although the Who to Follow on that account are TransgenderTrend, LGB Alliance and Safe Schools Alliance. The first two are well known as being anti-trans so I'm out.

What is "anti trans", exactly? Can you expand on that statement, please?
slashlover · 24/07/2020 11:08

They're not a red organisation though - they're red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple though mostly pink and pale blue nowadays.

Not sure if you're trying to be funny but their logo is red.

Xenia · 24/07/2020 11:07

Red might imply Labour party rather than Stonewall - but it sounds like a trans question, if it's anything at all.

If the Labour party agreed to leave England's gender change laws alone that would be a good start or I suppose for Tories like I am who want Labour to be away with the fairies and never get elected a bad start.....

Mydogisthebestest · 24/07/2020 11:06

Any chance of an explanation? I’ve no clue what this is about.

ThePurported · 24/07/2020 11:06

Nancy Kelly has been disappointing so far.

Sheldon Mills is the new Chair of Stonewall. Nancy Kelly is the new Chief Executive. Appointed April 20 and May 20 respectively.

Time for a change in approach?
