I don't know why I'm surprised really

Another reason why this creep of a man has taken a recent interest in women's gynecological disorders may be because it coincides with his ridiculous arguments for having men like him impose themselves on women's sports:

Updated analogy thanks to previous postersl'd astute comment:

There is an organisation for people of colour. The CEO is white - not a great choice as this person has no lived experience, however maybe they are just good for the role...

BUT then imagine if that white CEO denied the existence of people of colour as any meaningful category, and if he actively campaigned for POC to lose certain rights. And his motivation for taking the role was because it sexually aroused him. Now, he is worse than 'not a great choice', and he is actually a fucking TERRIBLE CHOICE

Yes. Now called Translucent, I think.

As in, see-through.

Bloodeehell · 12/11/2023 23:06

So I NCed for this…

What the hell are the English thinking that they are pushing forward with this Americanised self identification nonsense to the extent that a bloody man is CEO of an endometriosis charity and they are saying 1/10 people have endometriosis.

NO 1/10 women have it!!!!!! WOMEN.

How in the hell has one man’s agenda to now live life as a female overtaken the need for advocacy for 3.35 million women in the U.K.

My husband, who has nursed me through 8 ops thinks this is insanity. Madness.

I have spent the last 3 days bed bound in severe pain and had massive flooding bleeding, I feel so exhausted.

And then read about this pillock with a penis who thinks they have an idea what I’m going through….

The only reason this person wants to take on this role is to further their own agenda in becoming female and to try and gain acceptance amongst women and almost dominate us by taking on a major role in a charity that is FOR WOMEN. About WOMEN’s health.

This is utterly insane news and the charity will fold. Women will not support this.

Thing is, this isn't just a man as a CEO of an endo charity. It's worse that that.

Here's an analogy;

There is a young man who has bravely come forward to talk about his experiences of grooming and child abuse at a Scottish charity. Richards told him he hadn't been groomed.

Because it’s always gone so well when people with no relevant experience are promoted to CEO positions, doesn’t it?

Yeah… that head tilt and breezy threatening words.

Ohmyimsooooorollingmyeyes · 12/11/2023 22:48

awful, just awful

but it’s just given them a huge amount of free publicity hasn’t it.

maybe that was part of the plan by the charity.

@Helleofabore it was only because I thought men could potentially do this role so why not trans women. But as you say, there’s more to this specific case.

I agree that men could potentially do the role. If they were skilled CEOs and there was women out there doing the public facing roles and advising and there was not suitable female candidate. There could be ways to make it work. I am not sure though, because it is a topic that has had so much back history of being denied or of women and girls being told they were exaggerating etc. There is so much recent negative treatment of women and girls with endo that maybe it is not a good fit for a male who might have great skills and very much understands the condition. There is that history too. I am undecided whether a person of the opposite sex of a medical condition would be a good fit for a support organisation, I haven’t worked that out yet really.

As we say, though, this person has a deplorable history. This candidate is totally the wrong person.

I never post on these discussions because I’d be afraid to be on the wrong side of the debate. However, I wanted to ask something. What if Steph just really empathises with women with endo despite not having it? Then Steph would be a fine choice, right?

I don’t have children but I’m very passionate about parental rights in the workplace. I can be good on that front without having children so why can’t Steph do this? Genuine question, I’d just be interested to know people’s thoughts.

Edited

Can I ask you a question? Why would a man be better in this post than a woman who has lived experience of endometriosis?

@Feliciacat He isn’t going to advocate for women. He’s known for his anti women campaigns, he is blocking women on twitter, who dare to question his new appointment or controversial views. He’s known to state that:”'men'.
'women', 'child' are social constructs”. Research him, you’ll be astonished.

FaintlyMacabre · 12/11/2023 22:31

Ooh, my contract job has just come to an end so I need something to do- I don’t have endometriosis but I do have a uterus AND a basic grasp of maths and English- maybe I should apply?

TomatoSandwiches · 12/11/2023 22:26

HobnobsChoice · 12/11/2023 22:22

Steph appears to be the director of Kidex Ltd which is a Baby equipment shop in Hampshire trading under a different name. So experience of running a business but not a charity or campaign experience I'd expect from charity's CEO?

Well, that's not disturbing at all!

The charity is miniscule. Most people with a basic grasp of maths and english could run it.

HobnobsChoice · 12/11/2023 22:22

Theeyeballsinthesky · 12/11/2023 21:27

I can’t see anything in Stephanie job history that qualifies them for this role. I’d be interested to know where it was advertised & what experience was required.

FaintlyMacabre · 12/11/2023 22:19

I’ve heard Steph speak on the radio and he comes across as deeply unimpressive and frankly not too bright. I can’t imagine why Steph should be appointed as CEO of anything, let alone a women’s health charity.

Flickersy · 12/11/2023 22:17

Theeyeballsinthesky · 12/11/2023 21:30

It seems Steph was “invited” to join them as CEO which suggests that it wasn’t an openly advertised role

It's a tiny charity with gross income of £8.5k in the 2022 year.

Frankly I doubt they could afford to openly advertise the role. I doubt it's paid and they are almost certainly reliant on volunteers taking on roles like this. None of the trustees are paid certainly (all the above info taken from Charities Commission site).

I don't think it's a good choice but given their size I could easily believe Steph was the only volunteer.

It's like an extra neon flashing two fingers up to you tinsel, the ex and all women.
