Never forget him correcting that commentator, ‘men’s tennis’.. I love his quiet honest and genuine way of speaking.

Simon Myerson KC. Check out his X.

Just remembered Stephen Nolan, the BBC NI broadcaster who did the investigative Stonewall podcast a couple of years ago. God knows how he got it through the BBC barbed wire, but it really got a lot people talking about the influence of this organisation and questioning its motives and credibility.

Nice to see Alex Massie mentioned. He's such a brilliant writer, I feel like he and James Kirkup set up a tone of such clear moral and intellectual rigour from the GC men from the start that there was never going to be any serious attempt at a intellectual argument against them. Just bullying and mock incredulity, which was never going to be sustainable.

I don't think you can mention them without talking about Helen Lewis though - someone else I think was probably very albeit quietly influential.

Oliver Brown, chf sports writer for The Telegraph. Blistering commentary over the Olympics ‘women’s’ boxing and outspoken ever since.

Yes, he's been mentioned and deserves the extra, extra mentions for giving the nation our unforgettable (and unforgiveable) 'Fiona Bruce moment' where she shows herself while 'chairing' Questiontime for the woke and anti-science BBC apparatchik that she is.

Winston's work in the Lords on maternity legislation also gave us the 'Penny Mordaunt moment' in the Commons in July 2022 when she opined at the despatch box (when being forced to accept his maternity amendment) that 'TMAM and TWAW' - and said this on behalf of the government. She was only the Paymaster General at that time. Overstepped. Big furore.

The fucking nerve of shit like this (and the unpopularity of it with the general populace!) helped to tank Mordaunt's career under PM Boris Johnson and Liz Truss and gave us GC Rishi Sunak as the new leader and PM - and Rishi Sunak rejected the SNP self-ID nonsense too.

Mordaunt's views were clearly very unpopular with the grassroots membership and, other than a few male MPs she was able to shmooze in the Westminter tearooms, the Parliamentary Party. They repeatedly rejected her as party leader.

(She's no longer an MP - although sadly an even worse Labour gender nutter took her seat.)

Mordaunt's despatch box declaration was in direct opposition to her government's stated position. In Sept 2020 the then Minister for Women & Equalities Liz Truss (under Boris Johnson) had killed the idea of self-ID stone dead in the Commons much to the rage of MPs like Crispin Blunt who threw a right tantrum during her Commons announcement.

So thank you, Robert Winston, and your powerful butterfly wings that had a huge effect.

Did Ben Goldacre ever get drawn on this? He got asked enough times but I never saw him reply.

Bigly

Didn't it have a ton of cavets,and no acknowledgement he'd changed?

I was slightly disappointed that Morrissey, who makes no secret of his other views on virtually everything, chose not to support gender critical women explicitly, apart from voicing his disgust that Germaine Greer had been cancelled for calling out the madness, putting her face on his drumkit (I think) on his last tour. He also spoke in the past of his admiration for Greer and Janice Raymond.

I suppose he went further than most, but he should have spoken out more clearly imo, especially given that he's kind of got cancelled in recent years anyway for other matters. What did he have to lose?

The historian and author Simon Webb - YouTube channel History Debunked - "Hallo again"

He's consistently called the trans lobby out for the racket that it is.

Zac Goldsmith

Robert Webb, not only for damaging his career but for using the words ‘mums with munchausen’ when referring to Mermaids.

Alex Deane who was the Conservative candidate for Finchley & Golders Green was a great supporter of the local Womens' Rights Network and advocate against self-ID. Sadly he was pipped to the seat by our gender drunk, self-ID and surrogacy loving Solicitor General Sarah Sackman.

Is it sad, bigoted and awful that I can immediately see that the child in the Guardian photo is a boy?

if people are doing sad faces about how we are adding Right Wing non-feminist men to this list of those who opposed gender ideology, I will add Piers Corbyn (who once came along to an LWS meeting) in the interests of ideological balance.

Shahrar Ali - is he mentioned?

Andy Healey

Professor Robert Winston - did a quick skim and wasn’t sure if he’d been mentioned!

Professor Robert Wintemute. Who helped write the Yogyakarta Principles which aimed to promote Gender rather than sexual identity in international law. He has since rescinded because the jurists who wrote the document failed to take women's inherent rights to bodily autonomy into account.

The rapper guy who identified as a woman temporarily to break the women’s weightlifting record

ETA - Zuby

Ross Tucker - sports scientist who robustly deconstructed the Phelps Gambit

My DH who robustly and successfully argued for male/female toilets as the norm with some gender neutral provision facilities on each floor (as opposed to all gender neutral provision - cubicles with shared sinks the architects had proposed and that everyone else would have signed off) at the new corporate HQ that was being built and where he now works.

Sorry, my fault - I admit, I don't read all the pages of the thread, I apologise. I do.

Sorry, I must have missed it, sorry.
