Why are the media not all over this?

[Juells]

That's it, really. I don't understand why news channels and newspapers aren't reporting on how women are being prevented from meeting to discuss the impact that proposed legislation will have on them.

Meeting after meeting being cancelled by venues because of bullying. All it needs is a list of those meetings, where they were to be held, and how they've been shut down.

It's so shocking that it beggars belief it's not being reported.

I assume because most media-types have had the "diversity" training by the trans lobby and are in the "woke" camp. They have not done the critical thinking to realise what it means if we change our language and "women" is no longer defined by biology but identity.

The Times is onto it - today

And there's a very good letter which unfortunately I can't link to, in response to Lucy Bannerman's recent 'thunderer' comment, from Amanda Dee, cofounder of Transsexual Voices Matter, laying out the hijack by trans activists to the detriment of those with genuine dysphoria.

Thanks for the share Errol.

Decent piece - reasonable enough weasel wording by Leeds Council to persuade a couple of the commenters there that WPUK brought in on themselves.

“Since cancelling the booking we have received a number of complaints about our actions. However, it is clear that had the group making the booking been more open and transparent on the purpose of the meeting we would have had ample time to fully consider and prepare for any security, safety and equality concerns.”

That sort of victim-blaming by Council and commenters seems awfully familiar - it's on the tip of my tongue but I can't quite...

However, that part was preceded with the facts re bomb threat and previous venues cancelling. Hopefully most times readers can join the dots as to why women's organisations may be circumspect.

I agree with you OP. It's because they are all scared, or probably have some editorial line influenced by trans activists that says "all women who want to talk about this are automatically terrible so they deserve to be threatened, silenced, left out of the democratic process, harassed and beaten."
The Times is doing SUCH great work, and has been covering this for a little while now. Thank you to them, and to Lucy for another excellent piece. That's true journalistic integrity. I am hoping they can keep talking about this until everyone wakes up and says "ENOUGH - these women have valid points, let them SPEAK."

I wonder how many clicks and new Times subscriptions are being generated from sharetokens to feminist- relevant pieces?

Today also has coverage of the woman Nobel physics laureate, women being able to anonymously block visa applications for forced marriage would-be husbands, a headmistress on #metoo versus love island culture ...

I attended a We Need To Talk meets my in January this year.

It was protested inside and outside the meeting by noisy TRAs. I was genuinely scared.

Afterwards I wrote to a number of MPs and political figures such as Dame Helena Kennedy and Nicola Sturgeon to ask them to address the fact that women were unable to safely gather to discuss their rights.

Naively I imagined they’d share my outrage and you know, help. In some way.

I was either ignored or I received copy and paste answers about trans rights which totally ignored the points I’d made.

It was then I realised that the people who are in a position to support women don’t give a shit. We are on our own.

This is an international movement that has been dressed up to look like it's about Human Rights. It's coming top down.
