Sandi Toksvig "doesn't get it", poor love....

Well said OP

What I would like is Sandi to do a programme discussing all these issues around how lesbians are having to deal with all this gender ideology stuff. She could gently argue her viewpoint with Stock and Bindel and Cherry. And then the younger lot e.g. what happens when you set up a dating site or club. And in schools.

For someone who was excluded for beign a lesbian, you'd think she wouldn't be keen on a movement that's attempting to erase lesbians completely.

I think if you started digging today, and carried on digging until you reached Australia, you still wouldn't have matched the depth of the contempt I have for handmaidens like Sandi Toksvig.

@YouJustDoYou That's appalling. The attitude of the women's sector has changed out of all recognition.

@YouJustDoYou

That poor young woman...my heart breaks for her and all women and girls who have been stripped of all that they need to make their difficult lives just that little bit easier, by stupid fuckers who only see men. And Toksvig says SHE could weep? Maybe she should try walking a day in client's shoes and save her tears for men.

Oh, and they can't guarantee her female-only rape crisis support/counselling because the local facilities are "inclusive to women, trans women, non-binaries", so she's too afraid to access therapy support.It's fucking sickening.

This. I also know of a young woman who was viciously raped by two men, she has literal, uncontrollable PTSD reactions when near strange men in the street/close quarters etc and CANNOT physically be around them. She can't control her shaking, her black-out fear reactions. It's extremely hard for her to go out alone in public, she can no longer use "female" public toilets, sporting fascilities etc because there's no guaranteed a trans-identifying male will be in there with her. It's horrific for her. And this is why I feel such rage at people who use the "anti-trans bigot" bullshit card against women like her, against lesbians, against women who just want to be safe.

“I could weep. I don’t get it. It’s beyond me,” the former Great British Bake Off host said, “When the feminist movement started in the 60s and 70s, lesbians were often excluded, because we were told that we would make the movement less palatable."
“I have been excluded myself, so how could I do that to someone else? It fills me with rage.”
But it's not the same thing is it?

I cant imagine being so privileged that I don't get why women want single sex psychiatric wards, prisons, or domestic violence shelters.

Even if I don't get why someone else wants to feel safe, its none of my business, and I don't feel the need to shame them or try to remove their sense of safety.

WEP are awful. IDK why they imagine they are feminists or represent women.

One of my female clients is a young woman from Eritrea who was gang raped. She CANNOT be around men. She has female key workers and female tutors...she lives in a shared residence with other girls. None of my male colleagues would dream of compromising her or accessing her spaces or permitting other men to do so.

So what is wrong with Sandi? Why can SHE not GET IT?

I can only assume she is living in such a bubble that everyone she knows thinks Eddie Izzard is a particularly lovely woman.

She has foolishly chosen fantasy rather than reality, a choice always ultimately doomed to failure.

Then you're quite ridiculously thick and unaware of other women in the world less privileged than you, Sandi.

That's a phrase to be ashamed of, not virtue signal with.

Sandi is a lesbian, so I wonder if she'd be prepared to have sex with someone who has a 'lady dick'. Maybe asking her would get to her think and maybe then she'd 'get it'? Or maybe not, since critical thinking tends not to be the strong suit of unquestioning TRAs.

She had Izzard as one of the guests on her travel programme - and he kept going on about how pleased he was to be included because she only invites women.

This from one of the founders of the Women's Equality Party. FFS Sandi, stop the hand wringing and stop pretending to be stupid 🙄
