A good time for a thread to note all the companies, charities and celebrities that jumped onto the Trans bandwagon without any care for the children being harmed [title edited]

Ha! Was just about to add him to the list!

Not a specific company or organisation but can we add libraries everywhere to this list? Roughly about 5 years ago so many of them seemed to completely lose the plot and continue to do so.

Yes I have just read the Norfolk 'joy' thread.

Why has no one mentioned Eddie Izzard?

Six years ago the Fawcett Society had an event with a group of female Parliamentarians to talk about progressing towards 50:50 representation of the sexes in Parliament. MNer @Anlaf was there and posted a transcript of the livestream afterwards. Several names we can add to the list as a result:

Hello, I’m , my question is about the all women shortlists. Most of the all women shortlists are open to anyone who identifies as a woman. So in theory, taking this to this ultimate theorisable end, all women shortlists could be composed of all transwomen, which means parliament could see 50% male representatives, MPs and 50% transwomen MPs. Would everyone be happy with that as fair representation?

Baroness Sal Brinton, LibDems:
...On the issue about would I be happy with 50% transwomen. Absolutely. A transwoman is a woman. And in my party [lib dems] the issue about identification has been self-identification, it is not as has been whispered by some, something you can change your mind and do ten minutes beforehand [much nodding from Alison Thewliss of SNP] we all know who our transwomen are and we support them

Amelia Womack (Greens):on the point of transwomen – I absolutely believe that transwomen are women as well, and if we begin our movement as women with eliminating and trying to sideline women as part of the movement then I don’t understand how we can enforce the systems that we ourselves have been victim to for so long on another group. Because when I work with trans women, when we work with women on an intersectional basis , we all have different experiences of what it is to be a women – a woman, and transwomen are just one section of the different experiences that every single one of us have , because none of us have experienced being a woman in this world in the same way, whether that’s because of our intersectional aspects of being working class or being disabled or being a woman of colour, we all experience the patriacrchy, we’ve all experienced these issues in very different ways, and that’s why it’s important that every single aspect of engaging women is intersectional and engages trans women as well.

Maria Miller (Tory):…. In terms of all women shortlists, and transwomen: it’s not about a belief that a transwoman is a woman, it is the law. And it’s been that way for ten years. Transwomen are women and in my party they are treated that way. They are a group who endure some of the worst discrimination , some of the most despicable discrimination, that we ever see, and as a woman who has seen a little of that, they will always get my enduring support, and we will need more transwomen to think about standing for parliament;

Parliament needs a transwomen MP actually, and for the parliament to look like the country that we represent, there;s a deficit, so hey ho, live with it.
…
It's just wonderful to see you all here and thanks very much indeed for coming . I just want to make it completely clear that 50::50 parliament support all women, and some women, like transwomen, face multiple hurdles, so we want to help all women…

Female trainer said it but the other two trainers,male and female, sat there nodding. I did ask if a caller feels more comfortable with a woman then surely it’s what should happen but got told “these are the guidelines” with a sanctimonious smirk.

Luke Pollard the preening MP for Plymouth needs a (dis)honourable mention for his doubling down at every opportunity against women.

His "LGBT breakfasts" became totally trans focussed and really pissed off local lesbians. He refused to let gender critical lesbians speak when he was counter organising against women's meetings and locally he's dismissed and insulted women that have tried to calmly discuss issues around trending children and women's rights.

Anyone paying attention to local gossip and graffiti will have their own thoughts about Mr Pollard....

@InvisibleDuck

I agree with you about this; it is both shocking and chilling.

I offer psychotherapy to (only) women in the NHS. At the point of referral to the service they are all asked if they have a preference as to whether they see a man or a woman (even for assessment) and this is entered into their notes and respected. This is absolutely essential with women who have experienced trauma at the hands of men. And completely unethical to insist otherwise.

Was the trainer who explained this protocol male or female @Mirandawrongs ?

Good call. Also:

Yes, told customers if they don't support pronouns then they should close their account and take their business elsewhere. It was their 'Ratners' moment. Loads of account holders did just that!

I know BBC has been mentioned but I think CBBC deserves a special mention.

I think this might be the worst one on this thread. A woman in crisis wants to speak to another woman and the policy isn't just that it can't be guaranteed and she gets whichever volunteer is free, but to actively ensure she doesn't get the kind of support she needs.

As someone who once called them when I was in a very dark place (many years ago, long before all the pronoun nonsense) I find this really upsetting. Well done for standing by your principles and leaving.

Was it Halifax that told customers to go elsewhere on Twitter?

Their ATMs used to be emblazoned with The Rainbow all through the year, but they've recently got new machines & The Rainbow is not to be seen anywhere.

I haven't forgotten though.
