That gets a double thumbs aloft from me then. Good riddance.

That is backed up strongly by statistics/data:

https://rapecrisis.org.uk/about-us/why-women-girls/

'Research conducted by the Women’s Resource Centre found that women who had used women-only services greatly valued this support. An independent poll of 1,000 women across the UK found that 97% of those interviewed thought a female rape victim should have the choice of accessing a women-only support service.'

@GoodAfternoonGoodEveningAndGoodnight is pulling the same crap as over here:

To think that unless the leaders in this country stand up to this sht, women and children’s rights are totally fcked?

Funny how posters who accuse women who are concerned about the erasure of our rights and child protection, of having a "single issue" focus yet spend a lot of time on such threads!

I'm yet to actually meet any woman who refuses to be in a space with ANY men or trans people because they've been raped or had some other kind of bad experience. And I know a lot of people who have been raped or sexually assaulted

You probably have but they don't tell you because you'll deny, minimise or tell them what lying bigots they are.

Sadly, I think we all know the answer to that.

And those who say they don't care, don't get to override our consent.

What if you describe yourself a a woman identifying as a man who identifies as a woman?

Would that work? 🤔

I'm not allowed to call men with prurient interest in women's sexual history creeps?

Okay, then.

I wondered what got deleted!

I'm assuming it's more because you're not allowed to do personal attacks on other posters and never have been able to on here, nice try though

It's funny how so many people are so keen to shut women up, especially on the subject of boundaries;

There was no personal attack. It was a generalised post, about men who ask lots of questions about women's sexual history. Nice try, though.

@Boiledbeetle, that was very sobering to read just now and to know this was you it happened to. Sorry that shit happened to you, I've encountered you on here several times and I respect and like what you have to say.
Even more so now.

The complaints go to a different school. The police don't know them.

Lol ok if you say so
Why were you and the other post talking about someone else on here in your " just generalising" 🙄 then?
(I saw the posts before they went)

Hi - I’m Motorina. I was raped at university and, a couple of decades on, walked away from a prestigious and highly paid role I’d been offered because, when I visited the site I’d be working to meet the team I realised that the toilets were labelled male on one door and female/trans/non-binary on the other.

Thank fuck for JKR.

Airport dilator and the dude who declared that he intended to 'keep Police Scotland very busy on 1st April!!' are being graced by an obsequious gaggle of officers from Police Scotland tomorrow to discuss their hurty feelings.

Meanwhile....

I didn't think I could love JKR any more than I already did but now I do. Thank goodness she is standing up to this bullshit.

Back to the 'show me the data'...does anyone have the most up to date stats on the percentage of men who say they are women who are in jail for sex related crimes, compared to men who do not say they are women who are in jail for sex related crimes.

Last time I saw it was three times as many. About 60% compared to 18%
.

I admire the women who tell their story. I also remember the male friend who warned me that there are many men who get off on hearing women talk about being assaulted. You know, generally

I am in awe of JKR. Just when you thought her lives mission was being a genius author, she becomes the champion of women and girls everywhere and truth sayer for everyone.

Oh, it's you, Mishy. I have nothing to say to you, don't respond to me or engage with me any further.

I've got this one but I think I've seen a newer one kicking about on twitter
