Oh and BTW old women get raped too.

Don't they count? Ageism?

You are on some crusade, but you are not helping women access support. It's as easy as that. A crusade based in reality.

You haven't managed to explain/prove anything you hold to be true yet!

As a rape victim, the presence of male bodied people would keep me away.

maybe there's something good yet to come from your preoccupation with a trans woman's GRC.

I couldn't care less whether this person has a GRC or not, they aren't suitable for this job.

I'm going to donate to women's services which don't see their female users as a woke missionary project or an opportunity to advance their personal interests.

What strikes me, coming from a medical family, is how different this approach is even from how the general medical system was run before the woke era. It was a matter of pride that everyone, even real bigots, were treated appropriately in the health system. Which did not mean reeducating them or calling them out on their bigotry.

If it's not appropriate when you are getting your appendix out, maybe also not when you have been sexually assaulted.

In any case = oh! I made that up?

Google comes up with precisely zero hits!

@CatherinaJTV do you genuinely believe that Mridul Wadhwa"s words in the interview with the Guilty Feminist will be helping women to access RCS's services? Knowing now that if they can't cope with dealing with a male-bodied counsellor, they will be called a bigot and be "re-educated" to reframe their trauma in order to continue with counselling?

What really doesn’t help any women who has been raped is someone born male telling them to ‘reframe their trauma’

Quite.

In any case - I've gone and donated to Edinburgh Rape Crisis and I see that many others have too, so maybe there's something good yet to come from your preoccupation with a trans woman's GRC.

Women by sex have the right to say no to males by sex.

Humans cannot change biological sex.

Women matter too.

I think MNHQ named it as they understand it. And yes, the monitors are seething in the sunlight.

Sorry @ClaraMumsnet It is difficult to see what was wrong.

Sweeping generalisation? But transwomen are biologically men/male. A 'belief' upheld in law.

Aggressive/derogatory? The Monitors haven't complained about posts that could be derogatory... just the ones that mention biology.

It's all getting very convoluted again!

The recent anti-trans protest action to flood Rape Crisis Scotland line with vexatious calls will have actually prevented rape victims from getting help. - what on earth are you referring to?

Nothing you say helps young women who have been raped. The recent anti-trans protest action to flood Rape Crisis Scotland line with vexatious calls will have actually prevented rape victims from getting help.

I assume MN towers mean the “moderation principles for discussion around sex and gender” which is the actual title rather than “trans rights moderation policy”

This is about promoting & advocating the rights of women and girls

If I am whatever I say I am, what if I say I'm a liar?

For Women Scotland have been posting on FB.
Apparently the aforementioned person lied in the job application, as it clearly stated women only in accordance with the equality act and that person applied anyway. He doesn't even have a GRC (not that, that makes much of a difference). Surely lying on a job application means instant dismissal if it's discovered after appointment.

A decent person wouldn't take a job that involves helping vulnerable people if they knew their appointment would make those vulnerable people uncomfortable. If you cared, you just wouldn't do this. I can't get my head round their motives and the motives if the people who appointed.

A trans woman is a woman, a man is a man.

That's your belief, not mine, as protected by the Equality Act 2010. Read the transcript of the Guilty Feminist podcast and you will see that Mridul Wadhwa believes rape survivors should be challenged if they don't accept males as women. That's why women are so angry and will continue to speak up. This isn't going to stop. You can't make people believe what you do.

that 'reply' by rape crisis scotland completely fails to address the issue, namely, what their CEO said publicly.

I identify as a cat, therefore as a trans cat I AM a cat.
