Meet the new CEO of Endometriosis South Coast

How would Richards have contributed to saving babies' lives?

Richards trained as a hairdresser and now owns a successful baby equipment shop, which mostly receives good reviews on trustpilot for its car-seat fitting advice.

Is this what is meant? That Richards sells baby safety equipment?

Feminism is centring women.

Putting out a statement centring yourself (a male) whilst saying you are suitable as a CEO at a women's health charity, and saying you are going to tell the teacher about the nasty women isn't an act of feminism.

In case anyone was in any doubt.

So I suppose this does make him an "award-winning feminist" if you redefine "award-winning" as "didn't personally win an award" and "feminist" as "not a feminist".

And he says he was a finalist at the Inspirational 'Women' of Portsmouth Awards 2023.

Apparently his charity won a Community Organisation Award at the National Diversity Awards in 2022.

I count nine rules demonstrated...

1. Women saying no to men is a hate crime.
2. Women speaking for themselves are exclusionary and selfish.
3. Women and Feminism must be useful to men or they are worthless.
4. Women who go around being female AT men by menstruating and breastfeeding babies deserve punishment.
5. Women should always be grateful to men for everything.
6. Men are whatever men say they are and women are whatever men say they are.

What a farce

“Contributed to saving 100’s of babies lives - any evidence to back up this statement?”

That statement doesn’t mention the two pregnancy charities being related to miscarriage - which makes me wonder if it’s another form of pregnancy related campaigning, in which protesting at women seems to be a motivating factor for those volunteering.

Why?

Womanhood is not a costume.

Awarded what by who, I wonder.

Lots of essentially meaningless back-slapping awards out there.

Very easy to set yourself up as a body and invent a new "feminist" award based on whatever you feel like and then give to whoever you feel like.

In fact, I feel like I might spend a bit of time this weekend launching my new Trans Ally award for people who truly understand the difference between sex and gender.

So much BS in that statement it’s hard to know where to begin.

Award women feminist - who hates women. And I’d be interested to know what (totally made up) awards Steph has won

Contributed to saving 100’s of babies lives - any evidence to back up this statement?

‘Sex’ in inverted commas - sex is real ffs not something to put in air quotes. I can imagine them doing the fingers in the air gesture every time they have to use that silly biologically correct word.

Cisgender male gynaecologists - oh do fuck of with cis. And yes male gynaecologists with many years education, training and real life experience of women’s reproductive health issues behind them.

Gender critical ideology- aka biological facts.

And raising transphobia with their MP - 🙄🙄

Does that reference to pregnancy charities mean their new CEO has been involved in anti-women’s right to choose campaigning?

Let me get this straight. They have a meeting with an MP and their priority is to report their agenda rather than discuss Endometriosis and to tell tale on women who are concerned about this CEO Trojan horsing on a woman's charity and exploiting it to push their own ideological agenda...

They could have put out a statement which focuses on the subject of the charity. But nope.

We get "well I'm telling the teacher on you nasty mean girls, because you are all soooo meannnnnn to me".

Fuck sake. Talk about proving my fucking point about why they've joined the charity and it not being for the benefit of women with Endometriosis and it being all about them instead.

Sorry but award winning feminists do not organise protests outside FILIA conferences alongside people issuing threats of sexual violence trying to intimidate women attending and get the conference shut down.

FFS! “Transphobia”!

I sometimes think they’re trying to kill me from a hypertensive stroke. Or maybe I died in 2016* and this is Hell.

*When the UK really went to shit.

The Dick Panderers have released another statement

A charity set up to specifically support endometriosis suffers who don't identify as women seems like a fine and laudable thing.

I may not agree with the beliefs they hold about womanhood in order to believe themselves outside it, but given that they do hold these beliefs, it should not exclude them from accessing support that is meaningful to them. And in that context, a trans woman who shares their beliefs may indeed be an effective CEO.

However, if that is what this charity's actual focus is they should be clear that their aim is to support this specific small group rather than present as a general endometriosis charity. They should make statements like "not everyone who suffers endometriosis identifies as a woman" rather than take it upon themselves to make general statements about endometriosis that exclude women altogether.

I really hate to compliment the DM, but well done to them for including some actual information about endometriosis in their story, especially the little fact box thing at the side. So perhaps this misogynistic eejit has managed to do something useful for women by accident!

Comparable appointments would be:

BDSM enthusiast becomes CEO of pet collar business

Trans age person becomes CEO of a children's safeguarding charity (I actually think this might happen at some point - let's hope it's not Stefonknee or whatever that dodgy man identifying as a 6 year old is calling himself).

It's literally that inappropriate and for similar reasons.

👏

So it's just a very small hobbyist charity run by people who are already extreme gender ideologists? Makes sense now why they'd CEO him.

The issue isn't identity.

The issue is using a charity for women's health needs to trojan horse your own agenda and ideology with which is directly against the interests of those very women you are supposed to be centring.

If you are erasing the word woman and using dehumanising language like uterus haver in order to 'further the cause' then your primary agenda isn't tackling Endometriosis. Precisely because you are centring yourself NOT women suffering from Endometriosis. Its a massive conflict of interest.

A man could do the same job and it wouldn't be controversial for this reason - provided they were centring women and not using the charity for their own separate interest.

Thats why its not comparible with a non-blind person working for a blind charity. It would be a problem if the non-blind person was also campaigning for companies to have to comply with less 'reasonable adjustment' obligations under law and then saying that blind people who don't agree with this are just greedy benefits cheats who aren't working hard enough to overcome their disability.

This person is using and abusing the health issue of women who face huge obstacles and institutionalised prejudices to further their own position for personal gain. Thats revolting. Its actively exploitative.

Its the forceteaming and its the use of women as a tool thats an issue. Not the fact this person is trans.

Once you see it, you can't unsee it either.

Absolutely. I suffered from endometriosis which affects my fertility and was almost certainly the reason I had several miscarriages.

I was diagnosed and treated by a leading specialist in women’s reproductive health who was a man who’s whole career was dedicated to helping women conceive and become mothers.

Now if him or someone like him became CEO of such a charity, I’d applaud the appointment and say that he was exactly the sort of man who is the right choice for this role.

But a very vocal woman hating TW with zero medical experience or qualifications- absolute box ticking tokenism.

My blood pressure is through the roof today. I've had enough of this f-ing nonsense.
