Like so many here, I have been disheartened by the lack of support from so many famous men, those I liked and or admired are now and will forever be in my blacklist. Same for companies.
This whole experience has been so hard and I thank all the incredible women who carried on and spoke for us...
However, who are the men who were on our side? Andrew Neil? Piers Morgan? There aren't many but would love to hear some names of those who put women first...

Yes!! What a hero, in all the ways. No black face, no woman face. Attacked by gay rioters he’d protected.

What a lovely thread. I'd forgotten some of the battles lost and won.
I tried tunnocks because of the hoo-ha. Unfortunately I detest them.

What, every single offering? Even caramel wafers?
<baffled>

IIRC, the Triggernometry boys took a while to come round, but reality gradually sank in.

Graham Linehan has been utterly amazing.

And David TC Davis has been hot on women's rights for a long time. He was a very loud voice for women after the Cologne assaults in 2015/16, and very responsive. I'm not a Tory, but I'm a big fan. I think he has a moral compass, which an awful lot of politicians seem to lack.

I listen to a dog training podcast (well, several) and missed a whole chunk of one as the presenter said something that had me yelling joyfully, 'He sees sense! He gets it! Woot woot woot!'

Alice Cooper stood up for us.

Wasn't aware of that but always ♥️ him. Glad I don't have to change my opinion.

Simon Fanshawe, one of the founders of Stonewall. How far that organisation drifted

I love the interview when he's praised for being the 'first person ever to win two Olympic tennis gold medals' and he pointed out that Serena and Venus Williams had already got 'about 4 gold medals each' and another interview when another tennis player was praised for being 'the first US player to reach a major semi final since 2009' and Andy said 'first male'.

I love Andy. He has real respect for women players. And the first?? (only) top male player to have a female coach.

I'll give 1/2 point to Tom Felton for not outright attacking JK Rowling like his other shit head Harry Potter co-stars. He at least said nice things about her and didn't throw her under the bus, which would have been easy at the time.

Debbie Hayton has never apologised or tried to rescind the gender inclusive school guidance he issued and the way he treats his wife is vile.

Hayton has been deeply disingenuous & when I tried to get a straight answer from him on Twitter once, he waffled something about there never being a law guaranteeing dedicated women's spaces. I wish I could locate the tweet for the exact reply but that particular account of mine was suspended back in 2020!

The GB News men unpalatable as that is to many.

I’m not sure they care about women but just think it is ‘woke’ nonsense. None of them were particularly well versed in the background of the FWS case or the details of the ruling.

No he is a very very recent u turn. He was appalling back in the day. His tweets were awful on this. He was very much part of the group within labour to out and ostracise gc women, including rose duffield.

I know, but lately he has been an ally so we should recognise that. He is in an incredibly influential position and thank goodness he has changed tack.

If this means Docors along with online forms no longer have to ask men if they could be pregnant we should raise the flags high. This was an absolute travesty of human rights & utterly embarrassing for all those concerned.

WTF! How on earth can you include Hayton? He is a huge part of the problem and one of the reasons that rubbish is in schools

I think it's an interesting spread of fellas. From all over the place, really. There's no pattern. Left, right, gay, straight, trans. It's all over. At first I thought it was just marginal figures and that was a theme, but then there are also centrists like Blair.

Excluding Americans, who are not really making the same argument at all (it's a much more misogynistic society overall), it's not really aligned to any one political position, identity, etc. It's curious. The Communist Party and the Spectator...

Does that make up for "grab 'em by the pussy" though?

A stopped click is right twice a day. He’s a turd but he knows that humans cannot change sex. I want to see son actual action ad follow through in his EOs. I don’t think we win this battle on the logic and morality (sadly) but only when big amounts of 💰 have to be paid out to detransitioners for the harm caused, states and colleges losing federal funding, public bodies and businesses in this country being sued etc.

Pretty certain Andrew Neil peaked and was very vocal about it, and has been ever since.

Can I include the dreadful tv programme Naked Attraction which I'm certain are trying to peak the nation.

Am waiting to see if the foul James O'Brien will ever do a reverse ferret on this.

Ooh interesting! I knew George Takei is very TWAW but not about Shatner having common sense on this...

In 2020, telling someone to stop labelling him as "cis" : If you tell me you are trans; I’m not going to try and disprove it. I’m going to accept it. However if you tell me you are trans and you need to label me to define yourself; then I’m going to take issue with the labeling.

And

How am I being transphobic? I asked that people not use the label CIS because it’s only being used as a devisive term of debasement & harassment. What I got back was “Bill we have to call you that so we can define ourselves” That’s a BS answer. If you need to use it UR a troll.

He was too big and bold to cancel.

Edited as missed a point.
