Jolyon Maugham says his wife was targeted in changing room

Ok I take it all back. Women are all perfect,
mean girls don’t exist. The end.

1. His wife has/had short hair because of chemotherapy, and has had a double mastectomy due to cancer. She is a woman.
2. His daughters have short hair because they identify as men, and men don't have long hair. Despite their knowledge of the seriousness of the operation - they still presumably wish to have a double mastectomy because men don't have breasts.

You'd think they were <this> close to getting it, but no.

Are you unfamiliar with women’s physiognomy? A mastectomy does not change face/height/fat distribution/hips/arms/hands, never mind the fact that many women are pretty flat chested to begin with.

There might be women who have an obsession with other women’s breast size, as described by you, but I would suggest they are suffering from a mental illness, not ‘gender critical’.

Do you even know what a woman looks like after a double mastectomy?

A woman. Who has had a double mastectomy.

Women do not look masculine without breast tissue. It doesn't change your hip shape, face shape, how you walk or indeed your DNA or chromosomes.

He’s like a toddler behind a curtain thinking we can’t see him

Would you like to buy some beans? They're magic

my point is that it’s really not beyond the realms with how hyper focussed this is that somebody could ignorantly made a comment like this

It's also not beyond the realms that someone from Nigeria needs you to move a few hundred thousand dollars through your bank account, and you'll get a nice fee.

Do you have a general problem with weighing relative plausibility?

Someone made the point on Nitter that he flew the flag of fox/kimono up the flagpole a couple of months before The Incident. And wife raised the 'oh no, what if someone challenges me' a couple of months ago. Almost as though they float things to gauge the reaction first.
Someone cynical might say.

As if any woman in a changing room would challenge an obvious woman who has had an obvious double mastectomy.

The fox hunter is an absolute fantasist and I truly think he's lost it.

Again, over generalising. Some women can be unpleasant and or ignorant

Disagree. I think some on the GC side are so concerned about males (born males) in female spaces, that it’s not beyond the realms that seeing no breasts there could be a fear / assumption of a male being in the space. For what it’s worth I agree with the need for female only spaces, my point is that it’s really not beyond the realms with how hyper focussed this is that somebody could ignorantly made a comment like this

Also, plenty of women have very small boobs, a fact which women are very well aware of. That's why we don't judge womanhood by cup size - making this scenario even more unlikely!

The point is that it would only be people on the TRA side of the debate who would see a breastless woman and think man.

Jo's attempting to use this as a stick to beat the GC side with after the SC ruling but it does the opposite.

I don’t think anyone thinks this. But I think certain ignorant people could see no breasts and with the hyper focus on males in female areas at the moment, jump to incorrect conclusions

If it’s true why hasn’t she backed him up, and why has she deactivated her account? BTW, it’s so obviously not true.

So, in the slightest chance this is true...

Who is it that thinks that removing breasts means they are male?

(Hint, not GC people)

And we wern’t there, so we don't know the facts. Maybe it’s a lie created to fit an agenda. But maybe it’s not. I don’t think it’s impossible this happened. This issue is so hyper focussed at the moment I don’t think it’s beyond the realms that a challenge like this could happen.

This.

These are the people Helen Joyce talks about who will never ever admit they were wrong because they will have to face the horror of what they were a party to so it'll be doubling down all the way.

In a field with very stiff competition JM is right up there in the pantheon of utter fuds.

It's not about fitting any narrative, it's about looking at the logic and detail of the situation

ETA: OK, so you've deleted the bit about fitting a narrative, but my point still stands

Claire Maugham says: "Gender criticals think women must have and not have certain body parts"

Well, by that logic I am certainly not gender critical but plenty of transwomen definitely are!

But what if it is true? These threads are so over generalising, this wouldn’t happen because ALL women act in exactly the same way and so wouldn’t have said this.

Somebody - can't remember who, but I have absolute faith that somebody here will know! - thanked God for letting Thomas Carlyle and Jane Welsh marry each other rather than anybody else "and so make only two people miserable instead of four."

Yep, such an unfortunate coincidence...

Apparently she has now deactivated her account?

As with many law practitioners, what they leave out can be just as important as what they put in

He has killed a fox and gloried in it - utterly loathsome man.

On Boxing Day 2019, Jolyon Maugham QC, a prominent British barrister and founder of the Good Law Project, garnered significant public attention after tweeting that he had killed a fox with a baseball bat at his London home. He reported that the fox had become entangled in netting around his chicken coop, and he acted to protect his chickens. The incident sparked widespread criticism and led to an investigation by the RSPCA.
