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.

I wonder if they had chasers with their pints? 🤔

I'll have a go at re-railing the thread by noticing that Maugham has been unusually quiet on his SM (not wishing to risk every post being replied to with fox memes?)
He did attend a screening of a film called Castration Movie Anthology Part 2 though, looks like a great lads' night out.
The director describes it thus
“I wanted to make the scariest trans girl horror film,” explains Weard. The sole story of Anthology II revolves around Circle (Alex Walton), the newest initiate of an emotionally dysfunctional, sexually co-dependent polycule of trans women, kept as a doomsday cult in the basement of a corrupt YouTuber. The claustrophobic thriller contains five hours of overstimulating parties, excessive amounts of hot dogs, and grotesque rituals, often delivered in a dialogue of internet-pilled, brain-rotted discourse. “I basically had to start a cult, bring eight people down into a basement, get them to completely lose their own personality and take on another, and then say go.”

JFC.

He knows. He has young, vulnerable daughters, and he is attending a film about men's castration fantasies, propping up a story that children need to have puberty blocked for allegedly relieving distress, while simultaneously lolling at castration fantasies and making pervy comments about 'sliding' into the dms of trans identifying males.

This isnt a game, you stupid man.

I sincerely hope his family members have good support.

SabrinaThwaite · 27/12/2025 13:21

Holy shit - that ‘movie’ is 5 hours long. You’d have to be seriously into self-punishment to sit through that.

It's very real I'm afraid, search for Louise Weard.
Imagine wearing your best Val Doonican cardi to go watch a BDSM film then out for pints with the lads. The bloke is beyond parody.

I am now imagining a strange alternative history where Derek Jarman got to direct Terry and June.

Though the sitcom was mostly about Terry having a bright idea, getting in way over his head, and hilarity ensuing... his advantage over Jolyon being that June was always around to save him from his own nonsense.

Who Maugham? No idea, might help with his blood pressure though, his complexion is the same shade of hypertension as his trousers

Helleofabore-

so in your opinion transwomen are ‘weak’ men and trans men are simply women.

you fi realise that’s just Your TERF opinion and the vast majority of people do not think they are ‘weak’ men as you put it. It’s a small minority opinion just like some people believe the Earth is flat.

But you are entitled to your opinion 🤡😂

We are all either male or female. Weak, strong, flouncy, camp, aggressive......none of that makes any difference.

Perhaps sammybabes will come
back and engage properly and within the forum guidelines. Then the thread will not look like Swiss cheese so much with the abusive and denigrating posts being deleted.

Helleofabore · 27/12/2025 11:59

“im absolutely fine dear. Im enjoying seeing the true colours of TERFs with their anger and bitterness.”

Truly, this is like commentary on a completely different thread.

But to continue the example sammybabes, see the bit in bold? I did not say this… you did. See how it works?

If there is anything, dear, that you need explained further about what posters are saying, just ask.

MarieDeGournay · 27/12/2025 11:56

If it's logic Sammybabes16 is looking for, how about this:
Human sex is binary and immutable.

Apart from the inevitable outliers - there are people who claim that the earth is flat - that is a settled scientific fact.
There is no spectrum, there is no way to swap around from one sex to the others, the biological fact of being male or female is coded into your body, and you remain in the sex you were born into, full stop.

Given the observable, proven scientific fact of human sex being binary and immutable, any ideology or lifestyle based on the idea that people can change sex falls at that first hurdle.

How males and females choose to live out the fact of their biological sex in a social context is entirely up to us to decide, and being gender critical, meaning critical of gender stereotypes, is a way to make the fact of being a man or being a woman less limited and limiting.

But arguing against biological reality by claiming that men can become women and vice versa is a road to nowhere.

Sammybabes16 · 27/12/2025 01:16

RedToothBrush-

trans women exist as do trans men, gender fluid men and women. This will always be the case. Whether they are still men or still women and vice versa is a matter of opinion.

one thing is definitely true though - they will always exist and deserve equal respect and tolerance the same as everyone else. You can accept this or not but this isn’t going to change whether you like it or not

Yes, they exist, but that doesn't allow them to use the services and facilities intended for the other sex. If they stayed out of women's single-sex spaces, services and sports, there wouldn't be a problem, but they don't.

“I was pointing out dear that one of your fellow TERFs claimed there were some trans TERFs.
I was asking you then are these trans TERFs ‘mentally weak men’ too?
as for slurs - your opinion that all trans women are mentally weak men is laughable. I guess you are entitled to your opinion but it’s not the opinion of the majority of people dear. Just like flat earthers believing rid euros is flat isn’t the majority opinion.
not being trans yourself is quite extraordinary you feel you are arrogant enough to understand his all trans women think.
then again your obsession is so great judging by your number of ranting posts you seem more concerned about posting than looking after a sick child.
that shows your level of hate and bitterness.
I wonder why? It seems something has affected you n your personal life? An ex trans or crossdressing husband perhaps…..🤔”

This part is particularly important.

“your opinion that all trans women are mentally weak men is laughable.”

And I have not said this at all. You have the wrong poster but you haven’t even understood that you have the wrong poster. Despite me pointing out that you are in error numerous times.

Shall we give you a lesson in how quoting works on this forum? Particularly the copy and paste in bold or with quotation marks to format it? That one is used very well to keep the thread readable when posts get deleted, you see. It is most annoying to have a thread rendered unreadable with lots of deletions.

It really seems you don’t understand quoting and you keep making false accusations about what people have and haven’t said. While trying to dismiss what you are posting as being ‘typos’?

It is rather remarkable how full of misinformation and blatantly false information your posts actually are. All your posts are using your own entrenched prejudices about those regularly posting on this board with a view to denigrate them.

It is not working the way you intend it to because no one can sort through your posts to work out the meaning. And when you are clear, you are so obviously wrong that any accusations you post are immediately laughably flawed.

But do keep going and maybe we will indeed learn lots from you.

For sammybabes

So, this post here uses the copy and paste method of quoting. If you see text bolded in a post, it is often a quote that someone is responding to.

Sometimes people don’t bold but use quotation marks around the reference.

Sometimes people do both. Others will use the quote function, or do a copy and paste quote as well. For accuracy.

Often it will be just part of a post quoted. This keeps the thread easier to read through because you know exactly which part of the post someone is referring to.

It also retains information for when posts are deleted so people understand what a post refers to. Because many times there are really important points being addressed.

This is a handy etiquette that keeps threads easier to read. Hope that helps.

You have been on this forum for months yet you didn’t seem to pick up the basics. Then again, I don’t think I am surprised.

Sammybabes16 · 26/12/2025 23:59

your lack of self awareness is quite incredible. You do realise you are in the sane side as those lot punching down on trans people? The vast majority of real feminist groups support trans rights. I know this is an inconvenient truth for TERFs.

If they support me claiming to be women, rather than actual women, they aren't any kind of feminist I would recognise.

NotAtMyAge · 27/12/2025 11:45

Sammybabes16 · 26/12/2025 23:37

TERFs are just crazy. Their entire existence is based on punching down on the trans community. Terfs are not feminists but are on the same side as Trump, Farage and the rest of the real misogynists. Terfs will scream at this but it’s the truth.
