I might be facing attempted intimidation with big words

You plonker! You weren't being intimidated by @EmbarrassingHadrosaurus, and I was joking with my last response. Should I have added the obvious emoji?

But yes, the high ground is ours, not because we are GC, but that pesky female socialisation makes a woman telling someone to fuck off that much more objectionable - so many of us don't do it. Having been a teacher for decades I now swear like a trooper - and very therapeutic it is too. When not at work obviously

@Hoppinggreen

The man wanted to be told how wrong he was and have a woman stand up to him? I am not sure that is what he wanted.

I do not think it made KJK happy and I don;t think she needs to be manufacturing incidents on her own home so she has something to say on her podcast. I think you are being quite insulting thinking that she is unable to find material any other way.

Yes, you are entitled to disagree with how a woman confronts a misogynist in her own home, and I am entitled to suggest that you are wrong to do so.

I am not trying to intimidate you - sorry if I came across like that.

To paraphrase for my convenience & entertainment, an English woman’s home is her castle & anyone who tries to verbally or ideologically park their tanks on her lawn is out of order. This is the thin edge of trespass.

When told to leave a property by the owner, the correct response is go quickly out the door.

For a customer service delivery agent when told to leave to not go immediately & without comment is unacceptable & reflects very badly on the company, company training & values.

Anybody, anywhere, any company.

Hmmm, an addition to my list of beings not to invite across my threshold:

FOJN · 10/06/2022 14:47

Are you seriously arguing she is not trying to get her sacked?

Despite the drivers behaviour it was not KJK who reported the incident to Waitrose. There seems to be a pattern here of one party trying to escalate tensions and it's not KJK.

Like I was saying , the best thing to do is not to give them what they want.
This person probably went to Ks house hoping for some sort of reaction so they could use it for their own twisted rhetoric or at least they were rubbing their hands together with glee when they saw who she was/what she stood for.
I do NOT think she should have been either kind or polite but I also think she could have handled this in a way that showed the TRAs to be the drama Queens (literally in some cases) that they are.

EmbarrassingHadrosaurus · 10/06/2022 15:15

Seems on a par with their general reading comprehension, tbh, to over-extrapolate and editorialise in that manner.

She has shown TRAs to be drama queens. And I am not sure what KJK wants, but I love that she has given me an excuse to write to Waitrose and make it clear how despicable I feel that entitled delivery man's misogynistic attitude was. I sincerely hope he is hounded out of his job in order to keep women safe.

No you don’t understand me correctly and I really don’t need any more information on misogyny thank you.
My opinion (and please let’s not be the ones saying women aren’t entitled to one) is that there seems to have been 2 people spoiling for a fight here. Calmly and firmly asserting your boundaries is good, we should all do it and encourage our daughters to as well. Delivering a GC lecture followed by swearing was over the top in my opinion and probably done to create drama where none was needed.

There was a post on here earlier this week asking whether we had to be completely sure about everything and most people assured the poster that it was ok to question and consider. Your attempt to belittle me and my opinion shows that in fact it’s not just TRAs who only want people commenting when they toe the party line.

Well said @Hoppinggreen

Despite the drivers behaviour it was not KJK who reported the incident to Waitrose. There seems to be a pattern here of one party trying to escalate tensions and it's not KJK.

No KJK escalated tensions by going public with a YouTube video about it.

The delivery driver most probably reported being verbally abused for her own protection. ( KJK confessed to verbal abuse so this is not in question). Drivers report abusive customers so that Waitrose can ensure she was never sent to that address with a delivery again.

SamphirethePogoingStickerist · 10/06/2022 15:47

Oh give up. "Get the fuck off my land" after being told "I'll do it my own time" [paraphrasing there] is not abusing anyone. And it's a bloody brave woman who shouts that at a man who being deliberately provocative.

You are trying yourself in knots. What happened was simple to describe.

A transwoman chose to challenge a woman about her identity politics. Woman in own home transwomen supposed to be working.

Woman tells transwomen to fuck off.

End of story.

Now, unless, as you have intimated, you find women who swear to be unconscionable, then little actually happened until, having chosen to provoke the transwomen then reported the upshot of said provocation, presumably underplaying their own actions - something you have already noted KJK doesn't do.

Sexist, at best.

SamphirethePogoingStickerist · 10/06/2022 12:15

Ah, but we also read the surveys that came later, with the terminology clearly explained. The Pink News survey was quite opaque with regards to what meant who. Can you guess what the results were?

Similar happened in Scotland. And again in a major tabloid.

But no trans ally has ever heard of those, it seems.

Links to these surveys please.

RoseslnTheHospital · 10/06/2022 15:51

KJ notably didn't say what exactly she said beyond using "colourful" language and telling the driver to get off her property. That's not "admitting to verbal abuse". You really do twist and turn to force things to fit your prejudices @Discovereads

Notably, Waitrose wrote to KJ having only had the interpretation provided by their driver. I wouldn't even interpret their letter as a warning, more as an explanation of their policies.

SamphirethePogoingStickerist · 10/06/2022 15:53

Go read the many posts on them for yourself.

With arms that long you should be able to find them!

And as I said, their existence seems to be entirely unknown by trans allies, even though both Pink News and Stonewall Twitter feeds tried to repudiate them at the time.

Long arms because this is a real reach!

RufustheFloralmissingreindeer · 10/06/2022 15:54

while links are being requested have you got the link to where KJK says she wants the delivery driver sacked…ive obviously missed it

@CanaryWharf2
On gender critical beliefs you said:
”It’s the majority view, and accords with the facts. No matter how much it upsets you that people won’t play along, it’s not going to happen.”

You can think that, but then there are the facts. Every year YouGov publish a report on the attitudes of the British public to transgendered people. It asks very straight questions such as:

(1) Is a transgender woman a woman, (marginally most people think so).
(2) Is a transgender man a man, (again the majority of people think so).
(3) Should trans women be able to use a Ladies loo, (the vast majority of people think so).

And of course, there are many more questions too. A link to the survey is below. In the main, people appear to be more "trans-friendly" if they are young, left-wing or liberal. The survey shows one other very significant point, though. Women are more trans-friendly than men.

yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/articles-reports/2020/07/16/where-does-british-public-stand-transgender-rights

No, the "vast majority" do not believe that a transwoman should use the women's toilets. In very survey that you linked to, 41% of people stated that an intact male TW should not use the women's toilets, compared with 31% who say that they can.

There are zero posts in this thread with links to these “entirely unknown by trans allies” surveys. Are you quite sure they say what you think they say? Because it seems to me that a frantic Google search has come up empty handed as you’re being a bit dodgy about it.

SamphirethePogoingStickerist · 10/06/2022 16:14

Like the bit where KJK calls for a sacking? 😁

No dear. I'm talking about stuff I remember and commented on numerous threads here about. I'd give it a go finding links but I am on my phone and the new Search function is crap.

Your problem is that the things I referred to actually exist whereas your claim...

DdraigGoch · 10/06/2022 16:15

GCRich · 10/06/2022 11:18

I reckon 50-90% of male people that that offensive TRAs would call cishet or some other obnoxious term would be quite happy to say "trans women are women". They would say this to be kind and because they assume that the person asking the question is asking it metaphorically. If you asked the follow up question "would you ever sleep with a TW, a person who is by definition biologically male" they would say "of course not, I am straight not gay, lol! How outrageous that you should seek to deny sexual orientation."

You're well out with your first point there, only 33% of men believe that TWAW. Remember that "be kind" is part of female socialisation, not male.

Your final point is true though, we know full well that even uber-TRA Owen Jones drops "TMAM" when it comes to his love life.

The survey reported that 46% of Britons support transwomen using the womens toilets compared to 30% who oppose. That’s a clear majority.

The result you are quoting is regarding a subset of transwomen who have not yet had gender reassignment surgery.

Onceinawhileuser · 10/06/2022 16:29

Lucky she doesn't live in Scotland.

SamphirethePogoingStickerist · 10/06/2022 16:31

That subset is 90+% of them.

But that is one of the clarifications that changes the responses. Suddenly people know a transwoman is highly likely to have intact male genitalia and they then say no! Quite sensibly.
