Morgane Oger officially succeeds in getting a rape relief centre defunded

[jadefinch]

And tweets that they are 'a supremacist organization with a purity test on womanhood'.

A reminder that:

• Morgane Oger is a transwoman and there are various allegations about them stalking women.
  
• Vancouver Rape Relief has been defunded because it refused to admit people with penises.
  

This is who liberal feminist academics are enabling by pretending that biology doesn't exist

Worth pointing out that a very, very small monthly donation is barely noticeable... but even £3 a month adds up to £36 a year.

There's space to leave a message when you donate. Think the messages must be heartening, when you get things such as dead rats nailed to your premises, just for supporting women's right to recover from male-violence-induced trauma in the absence of men.

I had the chance to move to BC a few decades ago. So glad I didn't.

I had a quick look at the photo of the Vancouver council members. Mostly women. Once upon a time, I'd have been overjoyed to see women in this position. Now I'm saddened and disgusted that they don't support other women.

Ogre (yes, deliberate) is a spiteful bully. I'm new to this but spite and bullying crops up an awful lot amongst the TRA/MRAs.

Transgender ideology and legislation. A movement by and for men, aided and abetted by women seeking to get ahead within the confines of the patriarchy.

Vancoucer City Council. Not willing to grant 1% of what they paid for a rooming house for males who identify as trans to the only rape crisis centre left in town that dares to focus solely on females.

I don't know how these traitors to our sex live with themselves.

[DetroitLake]

I say women world wide need to go on strike

No more care, unpaid work, no more sex, no more nothing until men stop hurting us.

Strike.

[Oldstyle]

What DetroitLake said.
Women endlessly give me hope - particularly in their implacable determination to not give up. Don't wish to underplay the power or influence of the TRA/MRA movements but I believe we will win this in the end simply because we won't stop fighting.
And meanwhile, if you can contribute to the VRRC, please do.

[DetroitLake]

Thank you all for being your glorious feminist women supporting selves and helping a rare place of women supporting women stay open.

The fact they are fighting this, not enabling the removal of women centered services and are being helped by women caring for other women makes my heart happy.

There is hope.

Boyle is getting shut down in comments but as usual on Twitter these people never read or reply to the comments

[SunsetBeetch]

The irony of this, from a Vancouver city councillor:

“Why do we need trans-specific housing? Safety. Dignity.”

MO is much much worse than that ThePankhurst, but I got deleted and given a stern warning the last time I commented on MO so I'm all halo now grin

He sure is - what I wrote here was a mere snippet of what I wrote elsewhere!

Erin Pizzey - the Feminist Hero Who Became a Men's Rights Activist

The kids had The Smell of Rebellion on in the car this afternoon: Bertie Cavell playing Miss Trunchbull in Matilda, singing about stamping out every gleam of spirit, independent thought and dissent from the vermin underlings.

Oh it rang a few bells.

[Durgasarrow]

They will reap the whirlwind. I am so sorry for the women of Vancouver. It is wrong and evil. But the more shit like this happens, the sooner this nonsense will end.

[Ameanstreakamilewide]

Yaniv is sick, but (to me) Oger is a hundred times worse.

To go out of your way to do that to a rape crisis centre...it honestly brings tears to my eyes.

Oger's a monster.

[NameChangedBeta]

So if there are several other centres that will admit TW, why the need to campaign against the only one that won't? What is the point, sounds like there is enough provision already for TW?

Why doesn't this individual focus their energies on helping TW access the spaces where they are welcome?

This person sounds like they care only about promoting the idea that TWAW rather than helping vulnerable people.

Sad that so many TRAs seem completely lacking in empathy for abused women...

[HorseWithNoLang]

I've just been listening about how Erin Pizzey opened the first DV shelter for women in 1971. (It was on Woman's Hour.) She managed to do that against all the odds and is a wonderful person.

My question would be: why can't the Ogers of this world campaign for shelters for men who now identify as women? Against all the odds. And become wonderful people.

I know the answer - some bullshit about validation and entitlement. But surely something could be done along those lines by somebody?

[JustHereWithMyPopcorn]

I've just donated £50, can't afford any more at the moment but I'm sure any little helps.

[whatsthecomingoverthehill]

And Oger is desperate to distance themselves from Yaniv, because they know they are toxic to their cause. Yaniv has never been the problem, only the symptom. It is Oger and the like who provide the environment in which Yaniv can operate.

[ErrolTheDragon]

Remember when Oger tried to paint themselves as morally superior to Yaniv?

Oger has done more harm, in a more calculated way.

I think it’s wonderful people are donating to VRR. I’d like to say, though, that to say Canada is a disgrace feels like some people are tarring all of us with the same brush. There is certainly far too much knee-jerk support here for TWAW, however there are also the brave women at VRR and many others here (in BC and the rest of the country) who support them.

And Ogre (deliberate spelling) has only had a partial victory. The defunding is, I believe, from the city council only, the majority funding comes from the province and the provincial government continues to support VRR. It’s particularly important for voters in BC to let their MLA’s know we insist the province keep funding a women’s only VRR.

[PurpleCrowbarWhereIsLangCleg]

Standing order set up.

Ogre is utterly beneath contempt, but he can have mine anyway.

[wellbehavedwomen]

Oh wow, how lovely.

@ClitoriaTernatea posted the link a way down, so am just reposting here. They need all the help they can get, if they're to continue providing women subjected to male sexual violence a women-only source of support and sanctuary.

[mrsneilgaiman]

They send a lovely card as well. Donate generously FWR.

[wellbehavedwomen]

Thanks for the link. Another monthly order set up.

[bettybeans]

I have nothing to say about Oger that wouldn’t likely get me banned.

Awful human being. I’ll leave it at that.
