Woman's hour covering Mridul Wadhaw 13/09/24

[WarriorN]

On now

Seems quite damning

"Where do women go now ?" Anita asks

Answer - Can still go to ERC but ....

JKR's Beiras place.

Describing JKRs comments on Twitter.

OMG I can’t believe how fulsomely this journalist is covering this!

Top job Lorna Gordon

I know! Was just about to post the same!

"We'll be following this story…” says Anita

Yes! And didn't even call him "she". Used "they" instead!
The oil tanker is turning.

Interesting that Lorna Gordon referred to Wadha either by name or as "they". Anita Rani used "she".

I'm listening again

Yep Lorna says they, Anita says she

Excellent reporting from Lorna Gordon 👏

Flood the BBC with praise, the journalist especially, on twitter or anywhere else. Vocal strong support

Oh good sounds like I definitely need to catch up on this!

Fantastic. At long last.

Aye right they will 🤨

Woman’s Hour (and Anita Rani) have never impressed me in this particular area of public discourse regarding women’s rights. I’m highly sceptical that they’re changing their view on this issue. Wadhwa is just so egregious a failure of the Scottish women’s sector that they can’t avoid covering it today.

What was the tipping point though? (As an American) I was aware of his comments and smirking attitude but why is there suddenly an about-face? Edit: In general like with the RCS report and everything. Didn't RCS support him?

The tipping point was the tribunal verdict. Which was so bad, RCS had to commission an independent.report and distance themselves. Then the report was just as bad, so they are retreating at high speed.

I wonder if they would be interested in India Willoughby's precis of the case posted today on X.

"Let me give you a quick sketch of what this is all about: Mridual Wadhwa , who’s trans, got the gig as CEO at Ed Rape Crisis - cue UK media outrage. Terfs spewed usual abuse for months. A new terf starter infiltrates Ed Rape Crisis - starts trying to bring up Gender Critical themes. Staff immediately notice. Ed Rape Crisis start being deluged with calls (almost certainly from obsessive terfs doing an organised campaign) demanding to know the ‘birth sex’ of counsellors. Call takers and others rightly tell them that’s private info, which it is. It’s illegal to ‘out’ a trans person’s past without their permission. CEO stands up for her staff’s right to privacy - CEO gets fired, with UK establishment essentially saying being trans is akin to being a sex offender - ‘women’ have a right to know your past."

Willyboy can fuck the fuck off with that disgraceful gaslighting tweet; I'm glad I'm not on Twitter I'd get such rage reading anything Willyboy says. That's a person best ignored.

IW is publicly accusing Roz of infiltrating the organisation with ulterior motives. In my opinion, this is one of those instances that deserves some sunlight. It's a shocking accusation and one that IW is doubling down on.

I expect Roz has had enough of courtrooms, but that does look rather like libel.

I have to assume IW failed to notice that MW's egregious behaviour towards the women in that notorious meeting was way ahead of RA's appointment.

Those problems pre-existed from a considerable time ago.

You can take the prick from.....

I'd better stop there. I may have already said too much.

I actually quite like reading IW twitter feed. It puts a smile on my face and they say laughter is the best medicine and IW definitely gives plenty to laugh at.

has himdia ever said anything at all, ever, which wasn't completely mental?

Projection! That's the behaviour of trans activists he's describing there.
