I met her once, and came over all fan girl and a gibbering wreck, barely able to string two words together. I don’t know who was most embarrassed. 😳

I am a totally heterosexual woman but I have a serious crush on Kathleen Stock.

Same!

I've never been one of the cool kids (tepid is more my mark) but wow, she is the epitome of cool. What a woman.

Apparently, Kathleen was relentlessly bullied and ostracised at school. I wish that young girl could time travel to see how deeply admired and uber cool she is considered by so many of us now. She is awesome

It’s a (typically) fantastic interview if anyone wants to see it. She is such a clear, eloquent, humane and authentic speaker and fucking funny with it. Proper girl crush going on over here too.

Have you seen this? It's written by none other than our hero herself.

The ministers’ position, that Equality Act protections for sex and sexual orientation pertained to “certificated” sex, rather than biological sex, was said by judges to exhibit “incoherence and absurdity"

No shit! I hadn't realised they had said that. Incoherence sounds vaguely 'poor but possibly academic', but absurdity so fucking doesn't.

it's a really weird experience watching the entire country realise the emperor is naked, when you've known he's starkers all along.

They couldn’t rely on reason or evidence as these concepts are commonly understood, because no good arguments for transubstantiation by means of lip gloss existed.

Giving Brendan O'Neill a bit of a run for his money there.

She's a brilliant writer

Trevor Phillips who helped draft the law back in 2010 really clarifies what the law has said all along. He explains it very well.

This made me literally laugh out loud, but then I started crying, quite incongruously, when I got to the mention of Elaine Miller's pubic wig.
So many women, so many years of fighting.
I have a daughter and I'm crying because she is so much safer today.

That is a wonderful article. And I would like to join the KS love-in please.

"And even worse for their opponents, despite all the bullying, many proud inhabitants of Rainy Fascist Terf Island maintained an irreverent sense of humour, something nobody has ever said about British transactivists with a straight face."

As Ricky Gervaise said - women with penises, nobody saw that coming did they?

Indeed!

Very Emperor's New Clothes how it all played out.

Ditto!

I hope she gets a full apology and compensation for what she had to ensure.

That’s really made me smile.

(But - what if the Times editor is identifying as a woman today and would like to be referred to as Madam?!)

Irrelevant.
