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.

If TERFs want mumsnet to continue to be an echo chamber and are unwilling or unable to be challenged then to be it. It’s healthy to be challenged. Only insecure people like Trump ( who ironically is also very anti trans like TERFs) do not like to be challenged. I’m simply pointing out my opinion is shared by most feminists. This is a fact

Fastest bingo card ever!

Sammybabes16 · 27/12/2025 00:20

Women who are pro trans ( in fact the majority of feminists are pro trans) , are allowed to speak.

that’s why many of us find the banner some TERFs use ‘Let women speak’ as quite ironic as they shut down women who don’t agree with them 😂

Sammybabes16 · 27/12/2025 00:21

Greyskybluesky-

yes indeed. Do you feel that only TERFs should be on mumsnet?

Greyskybluesky · 27/12/2025 00:22

No no please speak!
You do our job for us

moto748e · 27/12/2025 00:23

Maybe on pay by post?

GardyLou · 27/12/2025 00:23

I have snickered unkindly at this Freudian slip:

terfs are on the sane side.

Hehe hehe.

Sammybabes16 · 27/12/2025 00:24

Greyskybluesky-

your job is?

GardyLou · 27/12/2025 00:24

Sammybabes16 · 26/12/2025 23:59

your lack of self awareness is quite incredible. You do realise you are in the sane side as those lot punching down on trans people? The vast majority of real feminist groups support trans rights. I know this is an inconvenient truth for TERFs.

Quote for reference.

Sammybabes16 · 27/12/2025 00:26

GardyLou-

ah focusing on a spelling mistake when you have nothing else to offer or debate.

yes that does seem a common theme amongst TERFs 🤣

GardyLou · 27/12/2025 00:28

You say spelling mistake, I say Freudian slip.

Readers and lurkers can make their own minds up.

Greyskybluesky · 27/12/2025 00:28

Sammybabes16 · 27/12/2025 00:24

Greyskybluesky-

your job is?

Showing up TRAs as people without any rational arguments who rant at women on MN.

You're doing exceptionally well!

See you in the morning

Sammybabes16 · 27/12/2025 00:28

GardyLou-

I do understand that it is difficult for you to have a different opinion posted in your echo chamber. Focussing on a spelling mistake must make you very proud 😍

Sammybabes16 · 27/12/2025 00:30

Greyskybluesky-

ranting? Not at all. Pointing out facts who you view as inconvenient. You have nothing to debate because you know I’m right.

this is also a common theme amongst TERFs. They try to belittle or get a ruse and when they do not they disengage as they have nothing to offer

GardyLou · 27/12/2025 00:31

No no no, you have the floor, please do expound as we think of the kimono clad fox beater, be my guest.

Sammybabes16 · 27/12/2025 00:31

Greyskybluesky-

good night. And you inability to engage in conversation says more about you than anything else.

Wow, those liqueur chocolates are stronger than they look.

Sammybabes16 · 27/12/2025 00:32

GardyLou-

you don’t seem to be able to engage. Bless

Sammybabes16 · 27/12/2025 00:34

GardyLou-

Gosh trans people do seem to make you so angry. 😂

it’s so sad

Sammybabes16 · 27/12/2025 00:35

SlackJawedDisbeliefXY-

are they? Gosh

GardyLou · 27/12/2025 00:36

Awww bless you 😍

Sammybabes16 · 27/12/2025 00:04

Murasaki- what I do know is that if you think that most women support TERFs - they do not. If you think trans women or men in dresses calling themselves women are the real danger to women you seriously need your head examined.

Edited

But trans women are actually men. I don’t care how they wish to present themselves, but that’s the facts. Men are the real danger, always have been and always will be. Putting on a dress, taking hormones or having surgery cannot change your sex.
of course we all know namalt but I’d prefer not to take my chances.

Sammybabes16 · 27/12/2025 00:36

GardyLou
aww bless you too 😉

Sammybabes16 · 27/12/2025 00:39

GrimDamnFanjo-

yes true but me we know overwhelmingly so not food random trans woman in a bathroom. You do know that more mothers were killed by their teenage sons in 2023 than by men they did not know? This is a fact. An oh none of those teenage sons were trans by the way 🙄

the TERF obsession with this is totally illogical.

lcakethereforeIam · 27/12/2025 00:40

Are you the tra whose coming was foretold? The ghost of terfmas past? Will Tiny TIM live?
