Baroness Nicholson forming a women's group

'the willing are now coming forward and I am collecting fast. Nicholsone@parliament.uk I have the website named and under preparation. No political affiliation, no funders, simplicity and determination'.

@vivariumvivariumsvivaria

I want to be the Baroness when I grow up.

So smart and polite while she delivers a killer line.

My impression is that she gives zero fucks, unless she gives a fuck, in which case she unleashes ALL the fucks.

Obviously, she'd never say "fuck" unlike me

She is amazing.

I remember her sternly responding to I think ActionAid after their no such thing as a biological female horseshit, with a couple of lines and then 'Have you been hacked?!' 😂

I don't know why it cracked me up so much, but I hope it made them cringe at how ridiculous they'd been.

She's a gem, always remains classy when responding to people who are being awful to her, too.

She's really gunning for the bbc on twitter right now....

I don’t really use Twitter - only tend to read when it is linked from here or someone I know sends me a link. But yes, will keep an eye out here as am keen to protect women’s sex-based rights.

Are you on twitter? Keep an eye out for any announcement. I have not heard anything other than the acknowledgement. I am sure someone will post an update here too.

JaneAustenFanClub · 10/11/2020 09:17

I have tried a couple of times but no reply. Strange! But I guess I can wait until the website comes out and then try through that.

Al1langdownthecleghole · 09/11/2020 21:43

Have belatedly signed up. Really happy to be involved.

Winesalot · 09/11/2020 16:37

I wouldn’t worry Butterer I am sure she has gotten many forms of answers. Mine was a bit confused as to what she was asking for so I through in a lot too.

NeurotrashWarrior · 09/11/2020 15:27

butterer that's lovely. Though I know it will be hard.

She was very accepting of my appalling grammar and punctuation as I whittled off an email while I bf my squirming toddler.

I said a large concern was that anyone could become an RSE "expert" and create resources. And the safeguarding loopholes were massive. She agreed.

I emailed again and got a reply within 10 minutes.

Antibles · 08/11/2020 14:47

I don't think my first message got through. Tried again via other means and got a very quick reply and warm welcome.

I am very excited and can't wait to hear more.

Winesalot · 08/11/2020 09:26

She is awesome. What she has accomplished as a hearing impaired person and now with vision impairment is inspiring. The fact that she has been working directly for children and women since the 80s, and has been involved in creating international protection for women and children is underestimated by many.

And I love the things she posts outside of this topic. Birds, messages from women and children her efforts have helped, remembering holocaust victims, churches and flowers.

ArabellaScott · 08/11/2020 09:06

What I'm struck by is the Baroness' depth of knowledge and experience in international politics. It really helps seeing these issues on the context of other historical issues. I'm amazed at her knowledge and awareness of broader global issues and at how she is able to focus on the details and just get on with actions, too. She doesn't bugger about complaining.

I'd like to be that well informed, perceptive, dynamic and indefatigable, and she's kind and polite, too.

I've not really met a.woman like her. Bit stunned.

Wandawomble · 08/11/2020 01:28

I got a reply today.
What do we think this will look like?

nancywhisky · 07/11/2020 21:48

I'm just totally bit star struck having emails in my inbox from a Baroness. It feels a bit unreal.

HecatesCats · 07/11/2020 21:43

@Bbub

Yeah I'm just going to reply with both.

I'm more distracted by the fact I started the email "Hi Baroness" for a kind of mix of casual and formal and now I'm cringing

ArabellaScott · 07/11/2020 20:40

She's on It! I had a quick reply.

Freedom of speech/hate crime is my specialist subject.

@Bbub

Got a quick reply after emailing earlier today. Not sure what to reply about special skills or interests, but going to mention the sector I work in and say main interest is about the erasure of women's spaces and the terminology around biological sex being replaced by gender... Or something

Me neither, I don't know if she's asking for skills or just which area interests me the most?

nancywhisky · 07/11/2020 20:11

I got an email back within the hour.

Check the email address you sent to has an 'e' (for Emma) after nicholson.

@Winesalot

She has suggested that emails have been mixed in with other things on twitter and asks for emails to be resent.

Thank you! I emailed again about an hour ago and just got a lovely reply.

ArabellaScott · 07/11/2020 17:56

thanks, Wines, have done so.
