Meet the new CEO of Endometriosis South Coast

[Maaate]

I don't know why I'm surprised really

Victoria Smith has written about it in Unherd

https://unherd.com/thepost/its-not-transphobic-to-question-endometriosis-charitys-new-ceo/

There's a comment, I'll paraphrase, the trans rights movement is one in which saying 'fuck you' to a woman, especially an older one, is virtuous.

In that context this appointment, a 'fuck you' to every woman, should see the perpetrators get some sort of trans beatitude.

didn't seek Steph out. ITV national diversity awards. Steph's done lots of work for women's health - has he?!

She's talking about spoons.

Does Jodie understand the criticism?

Response is - CEO of Prostate Cancer is a female. CEO does general running, day to day stuff, not decision making. Taht's in hand of trustees.

Emma - they are the face/voice of the chairty

She mentioned SEX

Fetch the smelling salts! 🧂

"They are the face of a charity"

PASSIONATE ABOUT FEMINISM???

That’s a man going off track.

Steph - wanted to try to make the world a better place
Passionate around feminism
deeply involved in prison issues - passionate around that
Women shouldn't be in prison,should be in women's prisons
I'm an activists, a human rights activist

Emma says a CEO is the face and the voice of a charity. And introduces Steph.
Nice one Emma.

Hadn't expected to be offered the position, immediately said yes

Emma says that was interesting -' you as a transwoman will know that you can't have [endo] - you may have had some reservations as a man may have had some reservations'

Is he doing 'the voice'?

Live IN A TENT

He's got a weak sort of wheedly, defensive voice.

'I'm a feminist' he says, rattily.

You can tell that Emma is struggling to rein in her anger

Jodie: 'Every single person has been supportive of this decision"

Wtf?

Ooh she's been reading the messages...

The 'hate' has come from mainly other countries - lot of it from transphobes - Jodie

Hate and transphobia already wheeled out

"Are you a trans activist?"

Emma has been reading messages - another issue about Steph being a transatcivicst. ARe you?

Steph - yes

Transphobes, Jodie? Jodie, you will never get a penny from me, you woman hater.

‘Nancy Keely’????

!!

Can a non-trans person be CEO of a trans organisation?
Could you be represented by someone who isn't trans?

• Emma

'Could a non-trans person be CEO of a trans organisation?'

'Yes - the head of Stonewall isn't trans'

'Stonewall is not a trans organisation'

What a tell that Steph forgot that.

Emma taking no prisoners
