GLP are going after Sarah Philmore and are going to lose

Get the popcorn folks. GLP is getting ready to lose again.

They are going after barrister Sarah Phillimore for referring to a man as a man. They think they are going to lawfare her into silence.

Her blog:

Here we are now: Entertain us
I have had now 7 years and counting of the various tactics used to 'silence' those who won't comply with prevailing orthodoxy. How are those tactics holding up?
https://sarahphillimore.substack.com/p/here-we-are-now-entertain-us?

The only thing is other TAs have already tried this on Phillimore multiple times. They went to the Bar Council their claims were dismissed. They all failed. More to the point this ‘Kate’ is the same guy complaining again who already failed. Sarah Phillimore knows the law and likes explaining it to TAs and making them lose. So she doesn't even resent the attempt.

As Sarah has stated "They pick on someone who not only enjoys this but has now a vast repository of knowledge about the law in this area."

Sarah Phillimore

Because I don’t tweet as a public body, an employer or provider of goods or services. I am not subject to the Equality Act. I tweet as a private individual and I will say again. You can’t change sex. A man cannot be a woman. I cannot be compelled to call a man a woman.

A trans identifying man such as ‘Kate’ who frequently takes to the public stage to urge violence against women and declare his intent to enter women’s spaces, is a dangerous man and one who will attract public comment.

Seriously there's a limit to how many people Miss X can be, and it's not as if many of us don't follow Sarah Phillimore.

At first when I read this I was slightly nervous, but again if it's who I think it is, it's both hilarious and curious.

Why Sarah? Is she being singled out because she's saying legal things that are particularly inconvenient and because they think she's an easy (easier) target?

Ol' Jolyon won't like it that he's being shown his arse publicly but doesn't seem to have the intelligence to stop pursuing things.
It's like watching a toddler having a tantrum in slow motion.

I think the choice to anonymise using XX is deliberate Hmm

Go Sarah!🎉

‘I'm a journalist with non-profit campaign group Good Law Project, which is now producing journalism in-house.’

= communications officer

They really think everyone else is stupid and can be fooled by their mangling of language

“I’m a journalist with the Good Law Project”

As Dennis Healey is supposed to have said to someone who introduced themselves as “a journalist from The Sun” - you can’t be both.

From one mumsnetter to another, Good luck Sarah.

Helen Webberley posting about going after GC women on trans Reddit this morning. No one has mentioned Sarah yet but they think our laws should benefit them more in persecuting women they don’t like.

https://www.reddit.com/r/transgenderUK/s/hoyBGHRX9W

  • 'Who else do we think should be taken to court for similar behaviour?
  • How much compensation should she pay?'

Just want to persecute women, then, Helen? I'll archive.

Who is 'Kate'?

“Sophie Molllie” I think.

SP says the same man had previously complained about her to the BSB, and that was SM, also known as a Mr. Weddell:

I’m looking for SP’s reference to where this person had previously complained to the BSB about her, and I can’t find it. So I’m not 100% sure. But it would be consistent with the GLP’s claims about “persistent harassment”, as they see it.

user1471471849 · 28/08/2025 12:57

Just reading Sarah's tweets now. She's brilliant! I love the nonchalant factual way she bats off all this crazy shit, like it takes nothing out of her. I can hear her say BRING IT ON!!

Try searching bsb complaint in her tweets, it will prove fruitful

Oh- there it is in the OP:

@fromorbit How do we know it’s the same person?

Now allegedly identifies as a journalist?

Okaaaay.

Tis the americanism of being a citizen journalist.

MrsOvertonsWindow · 28/08/2025 13:29

The witch hunting never ends does it? Fortunately every attempt fails and simply exposed the rank misogyny of transactivists.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 28/08/2025 13:35

What I admire and respect about Sarah's tweets is her absolute refusal to play let's pretend and avoid or sugar coat hard unwelcome facts. The other day she responded to someone who seemed to be suggesting that it was defeatist and disablist to say that people with disabilities couldn't be high achievers. Unfortunately she chose to illustrate this point with a picture of Oscar Pistorius and his custom-made running prostheses. Apart from the crassness of holding him up as a role model, she was ignoring the fact that everyone's disability is different. Sarah tackled this head on and stated that she had an above the knee amputation when she was a child and the lack of a knee makes a big difference to what she can do, and she has had to learn to accept this and live with it. Her lack of self-pity is remarkable and humbling. I think this is one of the things the gender ideologues hate about her because they are all very keen on making people feel sorry for them rather than working on resilience and just getting on with things.

I really don't want to google as it never ends well but that name seems familiar. Are they the one who stood outside the women's toilets with placards, a cardi, a grey school skirt and long socks after the SC ruling?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 28/08/2025 13:39

Not sure SM stood “outside” them

Iamnotalemming · 28/08/2025 13:40

I think Naomi Cunningham recently had some complaints against her for misgendering etc rejected by the BSB (and she only knew about them when they were rejected). She posted about it on LinkedIn (where I am fan girl following her, which is the closest to outing myself as GC as I currently feel brave enough to do...).

MissKomodoDragonsBrunch · 28/08/2025 13:41

Is that person not busy with their “bra fit” and gloating over holding up a huge M&S bag?

SabrinaThwaite · 28/08/2025 13:46

Also busy telling everyone that he’s going to be ignoring the EHRC statutory guidance and will continue to use women’s single sex spaces.

That would have be a funny court case (if the BSB decided to wade in on what pronouns cant be used to defend or present a case)

Was it not a “boob fit”?

SlackJawedDisbeliefXY · 28/08/2025 13:54

Isn't this case just a way of getting the contents of the GLP coffers into Joylon and other's pockets?
