Another great piece from JT, thanks for the share.

Thanks, I'm glad the share worked.

Excellent article. Every MP should read it. Every civil servant, NHS manager, BBC executive, university leader... well, everyone really. Thank you, @Sausagenbacon

Great article from Janice Turner that articulates a lot of what I was thinking yesterday, thanks for the link.

I really want to read Suzanne Moores article in The Telegraph but it's behind a paywall. The Guardian editors should be absolutely ashamed of themselves and the way they treated her.

Great article from Janice. I thought GH was a bit more balanced than the Guardian usually serves up. She at least mentions the overreach by TA’s and says them claiming only trans people are affected is not credible.

Igneococcus · 19/04/2025 07:45

I'm very pleased JT specifically mentions Rory Stewart and Alistair Campbell, those two arrogant, over-confident weasels deserve all the contempt that is coming at them.

JTs article - a roll call of shame

I don't do twitter/X etc but I'd be interested to know if any of those named in the article have commented since Wednesday?

What on earth is this mealy-mouthed bullshit in the Graun? "She is extremely wealthy" - and?

Feels like this journo was forced to write it at gunpoint! There's no conclusion, no point of view, it's like reading a list of bullets. And yet it's trending on their site...

Also in The Guardian, but from yesterday:

Effectively the article says that the Supreme Court is wrong because the decision is out-of-line with what Civil Servants intended the Equality Act 2010 to mean, where seemingly the Civil Servants didn't put their intentions directly into the Act itself, but they were widely understood by the right people.

It's sort of a very soft version of this:

This should be required reading for all the lefty woke bros telling me ‘but what about the poor trans https://www.heraldscotland.com/politics/viewpoint/25101816.mark-smith-men-like-need-say-sorry/

Decent. Mark Smith had a fair number of women in his early whom he chose to ignore but golden bridge time. I would hope he’s made a personal apology to them.

From which other figures would we like to hear something?

Or, is it “Come over the bridge. The hard slog lies ahead and we need allies to break the stranglehold of this ideology”?

Would anyone feel safe about stating sex realist views with friends or in the workplace post the judgement? Not in the NHS it isn’t.

It was to be expected but it’s going to get far worse (see social psychology). Given the stated defiance from the unions and the systemic misogyny, this gives a rallying point and greater cover than ever for undermining women’s rights.

There's one in Spiked from Jo Bartosh

Women exist. Get over it! - spiked

and Helen Joyce

‘We no longer have to pretend that people can change sex’ - spiked

and Graham

The TERFs were right all along - spiked

It's like Spiked is the home of all the GC writers.

Excellent piece, thanks for the share token.

That is an absolute cracker from JT. Thank you for the share. I liked her description of the Fawcett Society as 'that meltiest chocolate teapot'. I've filed that one for future use.

Every word of this Kathleen Stock article is manna from heaven:

Kathleen Stock is wonderful, isn’t she? I hope she’s on MN.

ItisntOver · 19/04/2025 12:54

I should imagine Sarah Pedersen has an excellent backlog of papers waiting to be unleashed.

Tania says he is going to continue accessing women’s toilets as he is so much at risk despite acknowledging he is large in build!
