Hollie McNish

Also, come on, people have complained about 'everything'. 'No one has ever complained about...', fill in the blank with whatever - someone will have complained about it.

She’s a liar and a misogynist whilst fronting as progressive. It’s such a betrayal when women like this undermine us all in this way.

Yes!

The widely reported case of a woman who was raped in hospital, accused of lying by management, and fought for a year to get her case investigated:

But let’s pretend it never happened, eh, Hollie.

And let’s pretend we don’t know that most raped women give up in despair rather than keep battling as she did.

Oh I would imagine Vogon poetry has nothing on this. I have never heard of this person, but that's not a poem, it's just trite and cringe crap.

Or maybe she does and her sympathy is with the menfolk. I can’t stand women like that.

When people make statements like that, I hear a silent couple of words after 'no one'.

I hear: 'no one who matters has ever complained about transwomen on women's wards'.

Its helpful.
You are allowed to roll your eyes if the man besides you (on a mixed sex) ward or the transwomen beside you is being weird and creepy.

No more than that though!!! Definitely no complaining.

'no one has ever complained about trans women on women's wards'

Completely untrue. There was a rape a couple of years ago, I also remember a woman discharging herself because a strange male called 'Barbara' was making himself a nuisance on the supposedly female ward.

Just untrue, you can't make blunt statements like this as they are utterly gaslighting.

Perhaps she identifies as Vogon.

Oh, this is disappointing.

I did read about this at the time, as I was a fan of Hollie, but I had forgotten about it.

I have noticed over the past while though that she seems to miss the mark quite a lot.

I no longer read / listen to her on social media as much as I did, but when I do I've noticed quite a lot of discord among the comments, people disagreeing with what she is taking, and while she does sometimes reply she can't convincingly argue her point. One such instance was a poem she did about "mummy brain". That was definitely missed the mark.

I know she went to Cambridge. And I admit did see something in her in the early days, the motherhood and breastfeeding poems, but I feel now she is becoming a bit of a caricature, and although I hate to say it, not quite as switched on as I had initially thought.

Wondering if she will continue to double down on this. I hope not.

I wonder what her views on breastfeeding are now?

Maybe someone should alert her to Princess Mom.

WERE AW BESTPALS PURE WORKIN CLASS YE KIN TELL BY THE GLO AL STOPS

This is so disappointing

Back in my breastfeeding peer supporter days, Hollie McNish used to be the ‘inspirational entertainment’ of choice for bf organisations at conferences and events, as she so closely captured women’s experiences of motherhood…

I am sure that she earned a nice bit of money from those appearances and is now just keeping up with the times.

Oh Hollie, that’s really disappointing.

Resurrecting this to mention that Hollie will be propping up her buddy Nicola Sturgeon with more of her wonderful insights through the medium of poetry.

TBH I didn't even realise it was supposed to be poem, until read through the thread. Just thought it was a badly laid out Insta post!!

Yeah good point...what a weirdo!

All I know is this...I have just read the worst poem in my whole life and will never get those seconds of my life back....

I was referring to the penis

Granddad was on a hospital ward complaining in public about the fact that he had not had sex.
And the female stranger in the bed beside him just rolled her eyes and laughed ........

Creepy opening line setting the (low) bar for what women should accept
_

This is highly creepy and intimidating. If I was in my nightclothes in a bed beside her grandfather who was complaining about not get any sex, I would be asking to move beds (wards) PRONTO!!

How could you sleep knowing a pervy old man was in the bed beside you?

Does the "author" not realise how inappropriate this sort of behaviour is!!??

If she thinks this amusing coming from a grandfather to his granddaughter, then there is something not quite right there!

Bizarre!

"A woman was raped"
"Ah, but unless she raised it as a written complaint to the NHS trust it doesn't count"
(Even had someone here the other day saying they don't believe her, because the Telegraph was one of the papers that reported on it. So you not only have to fill in the correct paperwork but somehow stop specific papers from reporting cases of rape to be believed).

It's not a misogynistic movement though!!!!

<snort>

That “investigation” that asked less than half the Trusts in England (to be clear, none in NI & none of the Welsh & Scottish Boards) about periods of a year - 10 of which covered 01/04/20 to 31/03/21 & 42 of them 01/01/21 to 31/12/21. That’s over half of the 102 FOI requests while the NHS was not functioning as usual.

Moreover, it became clear from the second batch onwards that Trusts don’t keep data on whether or not there were trans women to complain about.

Just to round off though, once vulnerable women have been put through the recommended-by-policy “bollock them for their utter fascism” on mentioning it to staff (as they’re almost bound to do before making an official complaint) they won’t complain. Or hospitals will shamelessly obfuscate - if a woman has complained about a man on her ward, because that’s how she perceives the TW in her bay, they’re not going to volunteer that information. In fairness, it might not come up in a keyword search depending on the response that was made.

As investigations go, it doesn’t cut it. There’s a reason no reputable publication will print it; & it’s not “anti-trans bias”. It’s that a literal child should be able to research more efficiently.
