‘One nurse who raised concerns about the training is now facing disciplinary action.’

I noticed another image like this in an article that used the term 'birth workers'. I've worked in maternity services and infant feeding and never seen this before. The cynical part of me wonders if the rebranding of prostitution as 'sex work' in recent years is connected.
Also abolishing 'maternity' as that is a correct, sex based descriptor of women?

Do you think the Palestine situation has stolen the attention of any wannabe activist? That the young people who want to feel edgy. Be a bit counter cultural and against The Man, and get to wear masks, feel superior, shout a lot and be a bit aggressive have just found their new fickle home in the Palestinian issue?

if it was truly an omnicause i don’t think people would be getting slaughtered in queues for flour tbh

The Glasto queue for organic sourdough going as well as expected, then.

Ah, the middle-class revolutionaries, Ben, James, Oliver and Will. Posh version of the Inbetweeners.

If I were JKR, I'd have that pic framed and hanging over the mantelpiece. How fabulous 😍

Scissor Sisters will probably try something. They said something stupid and sexist a few weeks ago.

Hell yes. It's the latest iteration of the Omnicause.

It blows my mind that they are wafting about in keffiyehs, waving Palestinian flags and openly expressing support for Hamas and setting up groups like "Queers for Palestine"...when not only does Hamas have a shocking human rights record on LGBTQ rights, but Israel is one of the most tolerant LGBTQ-friendly countries.

That they are now "standing with Iran" - a regime that flogs and kills women for showing hair and has the death penalty for same-sex sexual relationships is <head explodes>

What does it matter what flags people wave at a music festival. Why are you actively looking for certain flags.

Well those of us who care about the overreach of trans ideology might find it interesting to see the lie of the land, no?

I don’t watch Glastonbury, a bit too bland for me, but if it’s been wall to wall trans flags in previous years and now not so much, that indicated a change.

I suggest you do a bit of reading Eagle2025- there are years and years of posts on here about how exactly trans ideology is affecting women.
But if you've never thought about it, you're unlikely to start now.

May I suggest that we leave Eagle2025 where we found them, and let them get up to speed on the issues by themselves, if they want to?

Meanwhile, enjoy Glasto, Eagle!

LeungandLau · 28/06/2025 18:00

Exactly so it’s a good cross-section, and if it used to be full of trans flags and now it isn’t, that shows a shift in how people are thinking on the trans issue. Of course, it’s not hugely important. No one said it was.
