Get the popcorn folks. GLP is getting ready to lose again.

They are going after barrister Sarah Phillimore for referring to a man as a man. They think they are going to lawfare her into silence.

Her blog:

Here we are now: Entertain us
I have had now 7 years and counting of the various tactics used to 'silence' those who won't comply with prevailing orthodoxy. How are those tactics holding up?
https://sarahphillimore.substack.com/p/here-we-are-now-entertain-us?

The only thing is other TAs have already tried this on Phillimore multiple times. They went to the Bar Council their claims were dismissed. They all failed. More to the point this ‘Kate’ is the same guy complaining again who already failed. Sarah Phillimore knows the law and likes explaining it to TAs and making them lose. So she doesn't even resent the attempt.

As Sarah has stated "They pick on someone who not only enjoys this but has now a vast repository of knowledge about the law in this area."

Sarah Phillimore

Because I don’t tweet as a public body, an employer or provider of goods or services. I am not subject to the Equality Act. I tweet as a private individual and I will say again. You can’t change sex. A man cannot be a woman. I cannot be compelled to call a man a woman.

A trans identifying man such as ‘Kate’ who frequently takes to the public stage to urge violence against women and declare his intent to enter women’s spaces, is a dangerous man and one who will attract public comment.

The End of the Thread is Nigh.
I think it's unusual? unique? for a thread to start with a prediction, and have that prediction come true, all neatly within 40 pages.

Congratulations, Sarah PhillimoreSmile

The fun will continue in Part Two - lots more to come:

The percentages of the first two options on the poll are a bit of an unfortunate coincidence. Hopefully, some more votes will come in quickly to change the current numbers.

You are absolutely correct. I misremembered. Lady Hale's stance is all the more strange when her daughter is a lesbian.

Possibly not strange if her daughter is firmly "No LGB Without The T".

There are lesbians of that ilk.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 31/03/2026 13:31

Not as far as I can see. Lady Hale and her ex-husband have one child, now aged 52. She is Dame Julia Hoggett, the first openly gay CEO of the London Stock Exchange. She has two children by her former (female) partner and all the articles I can see about her use female pronouns, as you would hope, in spite of the fact that (shock! horror!) she has short hair. Whether there is anything gender-related going on within the wider family I couldn't say.

Absolutely @MrsOvertonsWindow

Convincing children that they might be born in the wrong body if they play with certain toys and teaching them to ignore their instincts when it comes down to safeguarding issues is one of the main pillars of this nonsense.

It's just so... malign, isn't it? Sends a shudder down your spine.

I bookmarked this Telegraph article about Protect and Teach, then forgot about it. So I'll share it now, I don't recall seeing it elsewhere

Brave and amazing women.

MrsOvertonsWindow · 31/03/2026 13:38

Protect and Teach must be making an impact if the GLP is trying to intimidate them like this?
As a general point, those trying to persuade schools to ignore the trans rights / porn / fetish / born in the wrong body mob are a great threat to transactivists. So much of their grift depends on society accepting the myth of the trans child, accepting that girls and women have no right to boundaries from men and believing that anything centring women and girls is bigotry.

They're very cross that in response to the GLP "they still didn’t say who is processing people’s information or where they’re based".
It looks as if they're going for their lack of data handling policies in an attempt to out the names of individuals?

I believe that Lady Hale has a daughter who is a wannabe man.

Nothatisall · 31/03/2026 13:26

I see the GLP have already moved on and set their sights on the next victims, they’re going after the volunteer group Protect and Teach.

SP highlighted this wording by Lady Hale in a judgment she handed down:

But it does not take much imagination to understand that this is a deeply personal and private matter; that a person who has undergone gender reassignment will need the whole world to recognise and relate to her or to him in the reassigned gender; and will want to keep to an absolute minimum any unwanted disclosure of the history. This is not only because other people can be insensitive and even cruel; the evidence is that transphobic incidents are increasing and that transgender people experience high levels of anxiety about this. It is also because of their deep need to live successfully and peacefully in their reassigned gender, something which non-transgender people can take for granted.

I knew that Hale was a bit unhinged over genderism but I was still surprised.

Polycule pod was missing Ewan as he was still in Edinburgh. And had sore sinuses - which they cleverly said to excuse him from not being at his work or at his job seekers appointment or whatever he dodged to go tk the rally.

They are no as witty as they think they are. It’s a bit like Sue Townsend wrote a podcast.

also, Twitter said Katie Dolatowski was at the trans rally. I wonder if euan interviewed the convicted pedo for his channel.

"appeal it somehow"

What, like to the Court of His Mum?

😆😆😆

No doubt the GLP will spin it as something that the trans community needs to step up and fund … for reasons.

Gotta keep that grift going somehow.

Chersfrozenface · 31/03/2026 11:31

"appeal it somehow"

If only the sparkly one knew a proper lawyer who could tell him how.

Sadly, he only has the vulpicide and his minions.

I can't say anymore at this time, but this is not the end of this travesty of injustice against a woman

He's so close, isn't he? There is a travesty, caused by him and the GLP but the woman involved was never him.

SternJoyousBeev2 · 31/03/2026 10:54

SabrinaThwaite · 31/03/2026 10:47

Weddell has been trying to spin it as the BSB being transphobic and corrupt on BlueSky.

He has also just (as in within the last few minutes) posted this which suggests he and GLP are planning to appeal it somehow.

I can't say anymore at this time, but this is not the end of this travesty of injustice against a woman.

Justice will be had.

Without meaning to, Euan has hit the nail on the head. But the woman involved in the injustice is Sarah and the injustice is the process that he had GLP are putting her through.

I think GLP will claim that they do have a good case but currently need to focus on other projects whilst posting a link to ask for more donations.

fromorbit · 31/03/2026 05:41

GLP will comment on its latest disaster by end of the week.

Sarah Phillimore

Good news! The GLP will find a window between its various campaigns of harassing individuals and organisations for their lawful and protected speech, to comment on their latest failure. I am sure many of us will be interested to see how they spin this. And whether it will turn into pleas for more money. This is a disgraceful organisation, doing harm under the guise of ‘social justice

https://nitter.net/SVPhillimore/status/2038693340133396710#m

Let's have a bet. I don't think the GLP can throw Sparkles under a bus without alienating many of their donors. I think it will go one of these ways
A. We won!
B. The establishment is corrupt and transphobic
C. We won again!
D. We are going to judicial review

I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really etc hope it's 'D'.

There’s an episode of Sex and the City, where a woman attempts to go toe-to-toe with Samantha.
And Sam tells her ‘Honey, you have no idea who you’re dealing with’.

Exactly. Hopefully the A-G will agree once the application is lodged.
