Maya Forstater on Triggernometry now (started about 10 minutes ago)

That was great. Maya explains her positions so well, and it all makes sense.

A one hour dash through the past 6 years covering ground we're very familiar with but sometimes remembering how far we've come is a welcome reassurance.

thanks - nice long car journey tomorrow - I look forward to listening to it then!

Thanks for this. Maya is an amazingly courageous woman and this is an excellent potted history of the last few years struggle. I've shared it with quite a few people whose interest was peaked by the SC ruling.

Let's hope the momentum continues and Maya's optimism regarding the reversal of what has been staggering institutional capture is justified. I really hope she's right and the ridiculous tantruming and threats from the genderists is just evidence of this regressive movement's death throws.

Thanks. I've been waiting for them to cover this! I thought she made a good point about cowardice. Most of the people who've been perpetuating this nonsense in our institutions are just cowards, so they won't be brave enough to defy the law, and will now fall into line to keep their jobs. I'm inclined to agree.

I have been looking forward to this. Thanks Nauticant

Thank you. I had never heard of triggernometry. That was first class. She explained it so well.

The big question is how did so many institutions get captured by the trans in Stonewall?

However asking that question does make me think of witch hunts in the Middle Ages, or McCarthyism in America in the late 40s/early 50s. Or even things like Tulipmania in the Netherlands - it seems that every now and then society has a collective madness. It eventually dies and when it dies it dies quickly but not before people's livelihoods and reputations and lives themselves have been destroyed.

Thanks for sharing, this was a great listen.

I’ve been listening to ‘Stonewall’ on Nolan Investigates (of all places on BBC Sounds).

It is from 2021 but excellent investigating how Stonewall were inserting themselves into many organisations to the exclusion of other lobby groups.

There are many different voices on the podcast but most end up tying themselves in knots. There is a transwoman on there who is excellent (and agrees you can’t change sex)

Maya's a really good listen - Highly recommend! Thank you @nauticant

Her humanity comes through - speaking warmly of transwomen and the challenges they face - as well as great overview and insights

Excellent podcast. Maya is amazing. Thank you for recommending it.
