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.

Sarah caught the interview bit about Sparkles being told off by another bloke for misogyny. It is in her now famous spreadsheet.

Thread about that and more here:;
Sarah Phillimore
Very useful conversation from about 6.19 where - fair play to him - FW calls out Sophie for misogynistic comments and they discuss how SM is ‘very aware’ of the impact of his words. All of this I hope to explore in other arenas and in detail. It simply cannot be right that the article 10 rights of one group are fettered on the demand of another group, which itself engages in harassment and abusive speech. Either the Good Law Project knows nothing about the activities of the man they champion as a fragile and vulnerable victim - or they don’t care? Which is worse? I hope 2026 will give me a variety of stages upon which I may publicly drill down into all of this. If we don’t stop one group from enforcing its own hecklers veto, while simultaneously abusing and threatening others, this is going to cause significant harm - not just to individuals but to our trust in the organisations that allow it

GLP are not going to know what hit them if they go to court.

The spreadsheet is causing TA meltdowns on X. Yes people are keeping receipts on all the vile stuff you say and do. Easily avoided just by being decent human beings.

If Freda Wallace tells you off for being misogynist you ought to listen, mate.

If we're doing HMHB references, there is a mean-spirited joke I could make riffing on Ninety Nine Percent of Gargoyles Look Like Bob Todd, but it'd almost certainly get me deleted.

Thread about delusional sexist men facing a legal challenge from clever women has TA demonstrate how confused they are on Foxing DAY. Figures. Sparkles was that you?

SP's position looking good.

Meanwhile Sparkles has dropped a new interview:
How To Destroy TERFs and Influence People

Which SP is using to demonstrate Sparkles bias;

Yup. I am now in the process of collating all the relevant information I can find to demonstrate that Euan Weddell is a determined and persistent public provocateur as it seems I will be fighting on 2 fronts in 2026.
Any relevant information gratefully received.

I've tried listening to that interview (if it's the one I found), but I have to stop, because it's so damn boring! I have random discussions with my sister that are more structured and less meandering than this so-called interview. All they do is jump from one topic to another: "Oh, and that person, oh, and this topic." They don't focus on anything, not even on so-called terfs since they also discuss what's going on in the US.

Also, I wanna lodge a complaint: I'm more than halfway through, and so far they haven't adressed either of the topics mentioned in the title. They don't explain how to "destroy terfs" nor how to "influence people". It's all "Boo, poor us, we're being put on witch trials, which is so unfair because we're such great and intelligent people." yawn

Though the part about children being intelligent and knowing so much felt juuuust a tad bit creepy. "You're so mature for your age" is a classic compliment used by sexual predators - but then these "ladies" were never little girls on whom this weapon is used, so they wouldn't know...

Surely by their own logic the male cells remaining after pregnancy will be female as they've been exposed to oestrogen

Good point. Although I think "logic" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there...

This is what we're dealing with. Posted on trans Reddit yesterday, on a thread moaning about the BBC:

Before I transitioned, I'd be happy to say I was biologically male. But your genes only determine which genitals you have, it's then your genitals that produce hormones that determine the growth of the cells of your body, as either male or female. After 15 years of HRT I have fewer male cells in my body than any cis woman who gave birth to a male child. Don't try and tell me I'm biologically male now. It's ridiculous. I transitioned late in life, so if you absolutely must I'd kind of accept skeletally male, except my skeleton is maintained so badly by my female body that I have brittle bones. I'm post op, so I don't even have the genitals that could produce those male hormones. How am I biologically male? What you are, Mister BBC, is biologically ignorant.

Just totally, totally batshit.

Congratulations to that Reddit poster - who is now a Eunuch (that has damaged their skeleton with wrong sex hormones) - *goal achieved!

*I am assuming that that was their body-modification goal?

Aren't they misgendering the BBC? I always thought that venerable institution was referred to as 'Auntie/Auntie Beeb'

AnastasiaCrumpet · 28/12/2025 12:37

That TransReddit guy trying to claim that taking HRT* has made him no longer biologically male needs to think about men with prostate cancer who are also taking HRT. Are they no longer men too?

*I know it isnt HRT but cross-sex hormones.

SabrinaThwaite · 28/12/2025 12:34

The misogyny is just dripping off this comment.

Just a thought, but maybe your cross sex hormone regime has fucked your bone density?

I'd love to hear their explanation of what a "male or female cell" is in the first place. Because the only way a cell can be sexed is according to the chromosomes in its core, and those don't change through the administration of cross-sex hormones... Mind you, maybe they really believe that getting cross-sex hormones can change chromosomes, in which case they are truly beyond help.

Also: what about those of us trans people who take cross-sex hormones but also retain our original sexual organs? Are our cells male or female? Both? Neither? This simple consideration should be enough for them to realise how much nonsense this whole reasoning really is. But then again, they are very very used to handling nonsense, so you know, I suppose a bit more or a bit less doesn't make much difference to them.
