Lisa comments on her own video that she was targeted by AC. She says, at the time she was an adult and AC was a child. After everything, she recognised the trauma.

She describes many issues briefly that Professor Michele Moore does in greater depth in her videos and in the book inventing transgender children. (£10 on kindle now.)

These two women are social work trained/ focussed. And yet are also silenced and targeted.

I have a friend in academia who knows of/ worked alongside Michele and knows other academics who have denounced her and worry about presenting along side her at conferences.

These women are describing awful ways that the system is letting young people down under the umbrella of "trans identity."

That their targeting and silencing is allowed to happen is incredibly chilling.

Thanks for the extra info @R0wantrees (and lovely to see you!)

Um.

Blaire is not the issue. Usually bang on. I think you've just smeared Blaire there with no actual proof.

Lisa is just bloody awesome and has always been absolutely right.

Blair is also a shit person.

To be frank, "at least she's not a paedophile," is about the nicest thing I can say about her.

Thanks for pulling back the curtain and revealing how nasty and judgemental you truly are.

@aliasundercover

Really Hibari? All this info available to you, and your conclusion is that Blair White is the problem.

Wilful blindness.

Bit of a disingenuous take, but I'll expand my statement a bit.

I have nothing to do with A.C. From what I can tell, she's a shit person and I can't think of anything remotely good to say about her. ...and since I first heard about her in 2019, I don't actually know anyone who has anything good to say about her.

That said:
Blair is also a shit person.

To be frank, "at least she's not a paedophile," is about the nicest thing I can say about her. I single her out because she's a fantastic example of something you want to avoid when dealing with situations like the one A.C. brings. When dealing with this kind of situation, it's important to stick to facts and avoid grifters because they're looking to sensationalise and or push an agenda for easy clicks.

Especially when people who had no involvement with her are getting doxxed. Not that a lot of this site are above using doxxing sites and throwing women you don't agree with to the wolves. I see a thinly veiled thread about it every few days after all.

Lisa Muggeridge raised the alarm

This should be on every news channel. Right now.

Yea, the points Blaire are making is that the community need to distance themselves from these individuals and hold them accountable (ie. Not be moderators of team Reddit groups)

There seems to be this repeat thinking that you cannot listen to anyone's thoughts on one issue if you don't agree with all their thinking on all other issues. Is this the way we do critical thinking these days? Check the political stance of an individual before working out whether we will listen. Ie. I disagree with Blaire on gun control therefore I can't agree on stating predatory individuals shouldn't be given access to children?

Blair White is an alt-lite antifeminist and well proven liar. A lot of her early content centred of "feminist cringe."
Take anything she says with a hefty dose of salt.

[/quote] Blaire is so sensible!

The next video that came up after that was this one:

Which points out that Jessica Yaniv was also allegedly trying to host topless swimming parties with kids/teens. How did JY and baloo chandler come up with the same idea?

I attended a really interesting talk before Covid about how the male world of tech will disadvantage women for years to come because they have the power to shape the platforms and apps that dominate our lives. Panellists were arguing for coding to be on the curriculum to ensure that girls and women see it as a viable career option. I know it's been discussed on here before, but the power concentrated in small special interest groups (of men) is concerning.

Getting themselves (singular) in to a girls school to talk about feminism is another wtf of that article.

January 2019 previous thread:

"11 October is marked as the International Day of the Girl. The day aims to highlight and address the needs and challenges girls face while promoting girls’ empowerment and the fulfilment of their human rights. Every year on this day Eltham Hill holds its Young Women’s Conference. Speakers and workshop helped highlight issues faced by girls.

Our speakers included Gabby Edlin (founder of Bloody Good Period) Amaal Said, (Artist and Poet), Dave Myers (Joint Head of the Forced Marriage Unit) and Aimee Challenor (Stonewall Trans Advisory Group).

Aimee Challenor talked about her experiences as a young transwoman and explained the work that the Stonewall Trans Advisory Group is doing to aid and amplify trans voices. Aimee, along with Ms Zionts, led a workshop that examined whether transwomen were included enough in current feminist movements and led discussions on how we could work to promote more inclusive notions of feminism."

As can be seen on the thread, the SLT/Governors were contacted with concerns.

"It’s chilling to see institution after institution giving him access to children because he had a child who was seen as belonging to the new sacred caste."

Very much this

TheRabbitOfCaerbannog · 27/03/2021 18:14

@PotholeHellhole

A topless swimming session for people who considered themselves transgender and were aged between 8 and 25.

What the actual hell. What the actual hell.

Awful
