Actually 36,000 now. Heartening to see in these horrible times. It's always wonderful when you see people come out to stand in solidarity against the manufactured anti-trans panic.

Should trans people have fewer rights? ‘Not in our name’, say over 35,000 women

Women tired of being told that their rights are threatened by trans people are using a petition to stand up for inclusive feminism

Just that no one gets to have single sex anymore. Wonderful what a win!
Reads like a spiteful individual whining 'If can't have it then no one can!'

GreenFriedTomato · 28/06/2025 00:24

Ah, I've just read the article. It claims instead of single sex, workplaces can have have mixed sex fully enclosed cubicles.
Well even if that is the case, it's still not the victory many are claiming. That the EHRC have backtracked and TIM can use the ladies again.

FrippEnos · 28/06/2025 00:22

Trans people don't have fewer rights.
What has happened is that blocks have been put is place to prevent them from taking away other people's rights.

That decision led to the issuing of guidance by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) which was then withdrawn after an intervention by the Good Law Project

What's this about the GLP? I spotted it mentioned on Reddit, but this development seems to have passed me by

It's a nothing. Jolyon desperately trying to keep his grift going.

How are you going to prove that all the people who signed that petition are actual women? Literally anyone can sign it. As many times as they have email addresses.

Plasticwaste · 27/06/2025 23:52

I'd like to see that referendum. I think Bee would be in for a shock 😁

Ereshkigalangcleg · 27/06/2025 23:43

Let’s have a referendum then, rather than some biased people signing a pointless petition.

DialSquare · 27/06/2025 23:36

Some people really hate being told no.

Screamingabdabz · 27/06/2025 23:34

anti-trans panic?

Or is it that women are genuinely concerned that the erosion of their rights and dignities in favour of male demands. Oh and concerns about inadvisable and dangerous medical interventions on children.

Which one sounds more likely?

DrBlackbird · 27/06/2025 23:26

Plasticwaste · 27/06/2025 20:27

Not sure Bee will be back.

Bee has buzzed off.

All these threads are getting tiring. Bee 🐝 is spamming FWR for a reaction. Tiresome.

I'd give a lot to be able to sit down with the author/s of this and really thrash it out, line by line, Socratic-seminar-style.

I wonder if they'd have a similar confidence in their own ability to explain and defend lines like those above.

I think she’s busy defending the ‘trans inclusive’ training she’s provided to organisations over the years.

Weren't they trying to flog this particular dead horse about a month ago? And 36, 000 signatures is all they have to show for it?

Article by Jennie Kermode, formerly of Trans Media Watch, I see.

Is she related to Mark Kermode the film critic on Radio 5?

Once more, from YouGov, for those of you who haven't seen it:

'Scepticism towards transgender rights has grown across the board since 2022'
https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/51545-where-does-the-british-public-stand-on-transgender-rights-in-202425

Of course 'transgender rights', in YouGov parlance, includes those which directly reduce women's and children's rights

Livelovebehappy · 27/06/2025 22:16

So 0.05% of the population. Yep, very convincing…..

The "fight for trans rights" we're currently seeing is an excellent example of the quote "when you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression".

Very good point.

tobee · 27/06/2025 22:03

Horrible times?

What? The Russian invasion of Ukraine? War between Palestine and Israel? Sudanese civil war? Cost of living crisis? Barbaric treatment of women and girls in Afghanistan?

Zov · 27/06/2025 21:59

As a pp said earlier today, where are all the transmen?

You never hear from the few there are, because they are just getting on with their lives and minding their business. Never demanding to enter the private, safe spaces of men.

You only hear demands from transwomen. You hear all the demands to be treated the same as women, and to be able to enter all the safe spaces women occupy.

Funny that isn't it @BeeSouriante Dontcha think?

teksquad · 27/06/2025 21:58

Lucky that trans people have the exact same right as non trans people isnt it?

But shame they never had and will never have the right to use opposite sex toilets, prisons, sports, refuges and sports teams/competitions I guess, from militant trans people's point of view anyway.

WallaceinAnderland · 27/06/2025 21:57

I would have expected more tbh. No one wants trans people to have fewer rights. Which rights are at risk?

MissScarletInTheBallroom · 27/06/2025 20:53

Well they claim to be "cis women". But point taken. They could be anyone.

Show quote history

Quite. I can certainly envisage a situation where men would adopt a female ‘identity’ in order to further their own ends.

I’m guessing that majority of signatories are male.

WithSilverBells · 27/06/2025 21:46

What a lot of words to say nothing. Love the 'down with that sort of thing' vibes.

Of course, the petition author daren't even hint at what it is that they actually want.

Whereas we know exactly what we want and aren't shy of asking for it.
No men in women's spaces and safeguarding of children.

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 27/06/2025 21:30

Oooh look. Another thread the poster will start and probably not bother their arse coming back to for days, if at all

Goady, faux-naif tone.

Link to a pet publication.

Plopping.

@BeeSouriante having a normal one, then.

I dont know any actual women who refer to themselves as 'cis women'. I'd rather have my ( entirely female) toe nails pulled out than use that term.
