This is Steph. Who won't be stopped 'strutting their stuff' in women's changing rooms, toilets and sports. And hopes terfs go to hell.

So empathetic with women.

My takeaway from the interview:

Why is Steph so 'passionate around endometriosis' (and women’s health)? These issues don’t affect Steph who has male biology.

I’m surprised that Steph feels the profile of the charity has been raised in a positive light by this appointment to CEO 🤦‍♀️

Why do Endometriosis South not want to use the word 'women' when discussing the effect of this disease on women?

Emma did pretty well there I thought. The charity founder sounded like a woke idiot and the bloke was totally out of his depth.

And has EB finally peaked??

But there's 29 men with it.
Ah yes, those poor menz, can't imagine why Steph would be worried about them...

Interesting that the founder said the CEO "didn't have to be that sex" i.e. female

I've just realised that "Endometriosis South Coast" is really catering for transmen and female they/thems living in Brighton who want to talk about a gynae condition whilst pretending it's not female-specific. Fair enough*, if this was made clearer. A transman CEO would have made more sense of course.

*fair up to the point where I think it may be damaging to mental health to be denying reality when dealing with a serious medical condition.

Anyone else notice how they were quite comfortable using the word 'men'? Women have to be 'assigned female at birth', but 'men' is a perfectly acceptable term for them to use.

Just listened to this. Hopefully it will have tipped a whole load more women into TERFdom.

Bit of a car crash for them.

I was pleasantly surprised!
