The Conservatives
The SNP
The Lib Dems
The Green Party
The NHS
The BBC
The Guardian
Stonewall
The Fawcett Society
The City of London Corporation
Amnesty International
Twitter/X
Girl Guides
Ocado (at least they've started)
Tesco
Sainsbury's
The Body Shop
Lush
Marks & Spencer
The YHA
The Caledonian Sleeper
Everyone Active
PureGym
ParkRun
The British Film Institute
Barclays
Lloyds Bank
NatWest
Citibank
HSBC

People
Keir Starmer
Ed Davies
Nicola Sturgeon

Am I misunderstanding?
The person who abused you on Facebook has left but not before getting a disciplinary process started against you?

TheSecondMrsCampbellBlack · 19/04/2025 16:29

Great idea to have a list

I’ll add

John Lewis
M&S
Snag tights
Refuge (ffs)

A THREAD TO RECORD ALL THE APOLOGIES TO GC WOMEN SINCE THE SUPREME COURT RULING

Actually I’m expecting an apology (or something) from work.
I was informed last Monday that someone who used to work there had made a complaint about me. Called me a transphobe for commenting ‘wearing lipstick and a dress does not make you a woman’ on a public Facebook post.
Apparently I’m to face disciplinary action, exactly what has yet to be decided.

I wasn’t confident that my HR department were familiar with the Forstater ruling, apparently a high percentage of HR professionals aren’t. I thought I was going to have to spend quite a long time explaining how my gender critical beliefs are protected by the Equality Act, but now I won’t have to!

Just send an email to whichever muppet told you this with the 80 odd long version of the SC statement.

Theb add at the bottom that you don't expext to hear anything more.

(The muppet(s) will be human shield HR department, of course).

This has just been tweeted by the Women's Institute Declaration.

We have written to the NFWI Chair of Trustees Jeryl Stone stating we want: A vote to either admit men or keep them out, or Immediate revocation of membership of all TIMs an the reinstatement of the WI as a single sex organisation (we prefer this option).
The end of the relationship with the current legal firm who have given wrong advice. Staff training on the Equality Act. Scrapping of the EDI Policy. Removal of organisations such as Stonewall from the member only website. The EDI training available to members stop.
The WomensInstitute also needs to review its member handbook, WI advisor training and stop promoting transgender ideology.

We don't care if the staff don't like it, they work for the members not to change a beloved organisation for their own nefarious aims.

Hurrah

Also did one saying, if the facts hurt your feelings, you need new feelings not new facts. Which was both right and very pointed 😀

That Janice Turner piece is so so powerful. There's also a good interview with Glinner in today's Times, he was treated so badly by so many people.

The apology to MN and Justine by Ocado was even on the Radio 2 news, it made them sound a bit pathetic blaming a temporary contractor.

Silversixpenny · 19/04/2025 17:04

Hold the front page! A real genuine apology. Mark Smith, Herald.

The people and institutions who want to be seen as right now, need to get out their apologies pronto, and make it heartfelt on a Bank Holiday weekend.

Anything else will be hollow line-toeing.

I don’t think an apology counts if it’s made on X to a 3rd party while blaming a contractor. But I must be old fashioned like that

Oh I agree, but I think the fact that it made Radio 2 news is quite significant. Hope it doesn't drive more tossers here though.

Kellie jay Keane yelling 'he's a man' at Lia Thomas swim was what brought this all to my attention.
Both have massively helped the cause. One by being a brave, fearless, strong, beautiful woman and the other for being a huge, strapping bloke that takes such women's medals
