I have been lurking on twitter lately and noticed Baroness Nicholson has been very active recently. Amongst her tweets are quite a few gems - letters to Liz Truss, tweets asking for evidence about Stonewall’s involvement CPS guidance just to name two.

This tweet I found very encouraging too.

It is imperative to restore the rights of women.I foresee a single issue, cluster approach;we make a new Women’s Rights movement lasting one year,solely to rescue womanhood from its destruction through today’s legal and social denial of our existence.Emma,BNoW

She has today written to Liz Truss again but this time with her concerns about the gross misinterpretation of the ECHR in the trans toolkits used in schools and recommends that such toolkits are removed from use now. Such support is great news.

I will try to post the letter for those not on twitter.

I look forward to seeing what what happens next.

Possibly. I liked something about a tiny local fundraiser nothing to do with this and the fuckers keep removing that too.

Take it to the newspapers, Steph!

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 03/06/2020 10:25

I'm often at odds with Butler's perspective but this is one of those moments where you have to feel empathy, imagining what it would be like to receive mad letters from constituents all "I would like you as my MP to stop a member of the House of Lords from using the internet and if you don't I'll probably turn on you next".

SunsetBeetch · 03/06/2020 10:54

Butler is pretty nutty herself, though.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 03/06/2020 11:02

Agreed, but probably not nutty enough to think that she can prevent the Baroness from pursuing whatever she's currently set on pursuing in terms of tweeting, lobbying within the government, etc.

Datun · 03/06/2020 11:17

Take it to the newspapers, Steph!

Yes!

C'mon. Complain, write to your MP, put it on Twitter.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 03/06/2020 11:23

I can honestly think of nothing that would help the GC cause more than a good old Daily Mail personal perspective piece from Steph full of quotes and photos.

(The DM are the OG trolls)

Late to the debate, but am I the only one who thinks the Baroness could be truly formidable if it weren't for a tendency to shoot from the hip on occasion. Be in no doubt that the TRAs will weaponise her missteps.

nauticant · 03/06/2020 11:37

It's not just you NotAssigned. This tweet:

twitter.com/Baroness_Nichol/status/1267801575923294211

misrepresents the tweet she's quoting and hands a beating stick to trans activists.

Late to the debate, but am I the only one who thinks the Baroness could be truly formidable if it weren't for a tendency to shoot from the hip on occasion.

I would agree if Twitter were the real world, but it isn’t. What is important is the questions she asks, the letters she writes and even more so the people she talks to.

Her responses also show us part of the problem with our representatives; they are so busy that they don’t get the chance to fully understand any particular issue. They take a complaint raised by a constituent and fire off an email without properly understanding the issue which means things like transideology’s harms are not explored, or in cases like the Baroness’s letter are not quite tight enough around the problem that the reply can be weasel word.

Winesalot · 03/06/2020 14:16

I think the Baroness is capable of holding her own.

But yes! Please Steph write to the papers about this!!! I am waiting to buy that edition. ...... patiently.....

apologies for the low ressolution. Another letter to Liz Truss. This one on the single mindedness of stonewall at the detriment of lesbians. And she has included her letter to Gavin Williamson.

Thank you to all who have been in communication with the Baroness, it is amazing to see action being taken and the hard questions being asked.

Is wonderful. I'm just hoping we don't overwork her or she can find some allies...

Datun · 03/06/2020 19:55

It's one thing telling women in general to shut the fuck up, it's quite another telling a peer of the realm in the House of Lords.

BoreOfWhabylon · 03/06/2020 21:28

She's got Haddock in her sights too Grin

littlbrowndog · 03/06/2020 22:43

But the baroness does the work. Look at her history

Look a5 Hayden’s and the haddock s history

Just wee whiny fuckers on twitter

SirVixofVixHall · 04/06/2020 00:24

I have just read the Baroness’s wiki page. Wow. She is amazing. I can imagine her having something to say on surrogacy too.

Winesalot · 04/06/2020 07:32

SirVix I am amazed by her continued energy. I have seen some tweets that disparage her position as ‘entitled’. Ummmm! No. The very depth of her work in women’s rights and her experiences allow her to cut through the emotive mantras. And enough times her come back is come and sit down and tell me what you need to those who tell her she is disgusting and phobic. I guess she has seen it all...

The more this gets said, the better!!

DROP THAT WORD! It’s meaningless rubbish-word so Never Use It Again.You see it’s designed to demean you and you’ve fallen into the trap.Nor is your ‘right’ the same as the supposed ‘right’ your detractors use.Stand up,look up and respect yourself;no rubbish words.

I am going to post this tweet whenever I see the word used by a few notorious derailers.

God, she's amazing!

BaronessFloralBunting · 04/06/2020 08:16

Name change in tribute. I want to be the Baroness when I grow up.

BaronessRadishFemish · 04/06/2020 08:20

Excellent idea.

Winesalot · 12/06/2020 15:28

Just adding her latest letter here.

twitter.com/baroness_nichol/status/1271412576673562624?s=21

I don’t have hi res pics to post, my apologies. It is no surprise but she has found a number of significant inconsistency in the Stonewall RSE material.

That last letter is very good.
