#WomenWontWheesht

[Mollyollydolly]

Thought it deserved a thread of its own on this day of the shopping trip to Glasgow.
JK Rowling has just tweeted it too in response to Joanna Cherry. How I love all these strong, brave women.

Can't we English just adopt Wheesht? It's such a fab word

Yes.

It is an English word that has fallen out of use in England but needs to be reserected.

Scrabble accepts 'whisht' so maybe we could have that?

So nhs workers will need to pass a test to wear the badge. Which means that those who don’t wear the badge haven’t passed the test or have refused to take it. Neatly dividing all nhs staff into “allies” or “bigots”. Does anyone else recognise the insidiousness of this?

Great comment from the Times rainbow article.

[quote Igneococcus]Also in the Scotland section, the NHS robbed the rainbow from LGBT+ it seems, "blatant cultural approbriation" says Peter Tatchell:

www.thetimes.co.uk/article/a78f0102-e9a3-11eb-baaa-861dba20d87a?shareToken=160fced1a24aa4d409e6e3c54664e063[/quote]
Dr Haddock said the same, didn't he?

Jebus Cripes, a whole steering group to discuss this. What a waste of time and money.

So am I to take it that anyone wearing the badge doesn't respect sex or my sex based rights?

Will the steering group also be taking on board Tatchell's views on child sex abuse?

It is understood that the defendant, who opposes self-identification, was informed of the postponement in a letter from the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service addressed to “Mr Millar”.

Do they not know that misgendering is actually basically literally seriously violent? She should report them for committing this heinous hate crime.

Trying to claim ownership of the rainbow is astounding narcissm, and I doubt most LGBT+ people would care.

Two millennia of Christians called for Peter Tatchell. They said they want their God’s covenant symbol back.

I remember when it was Christians arguing their symbol had been nicked. Dunno if Jewish people ever used it.

How about the rainbow becomes a symbol of hope covering all the colours in the spectrum like it still is to all the kids who just think it's pretty.

The sanctimonious bores can have their progress pride flag and the rest of humanity can leave them to their nasty little bully club.

Exactly, the Pride flag has that new bit, doesn't it? It's not just the regular rainbow.

Yes, it's tres inclusive to suggest that people of colour and people who either do or don't conform to stereotypes (depending on their chosen designation under the T umbrella) aren't covered by a rainbow, literally a visual of the entire spectrum of colours.

People, if you looked at the rainbow flag and thought it wasn't for black people or people who rejected gender rules, the problem might be you.

The new rainbow flag explained...

I'd like to say that I can't believe that the Scottish Govt is wasting money on a steering group about who gets to use rainbows.

This is good from Glinner

staff would have to make a pledge before they got one 👀👀👀

Why the hell does anyone still listen to Peter Tatchell??! He says children can consent to sex 🧐🤮

Sorry it was actually written by Sarah Philimore.

I'm sure I've seen that Scott Agnew character being massively misogynistic before.

Bungle, George and Zippy would like a word.

I like this

On the subject of Man at Bus Stop, apparently he's claiming that his mother, Janet Paisley, was said to be anti-LGBTQ+ at yesterday's rally and he's up in arms about it.

twitter.com/gentlemanbroad

Terven Gentleman has investigated and been through the video of the event and no one seems to have said anything of the sort. He clearly misheard what was said. But one does wonder how reliable his account of — well, anything, really — might be...

As sure as night follows day yourhairiswinterfire

All the TRAs will believe him and spread it anyway shedbuilder . Perhaps someone needs to sue him for libel.

I do agree that mentioning David Paisley's mother was not the best idea, but he didn't need to lie like that.

I don't think it was a clever move either —but then I'm not living in the same city as a man who is out to obliterate women's rights.

Extraordinary that a woman who seems to have been a solid second wave feminist and all round socially-involved women could have a child who loves her but appears to hate and want to destroy women like her.

It must be hurtful for the friend of his mother to have her son be so hostile towards her too, I suppose.
