Zoe Williams in The Guardian on Girl Guides removing Trans Girls

[Arran2024]

Did she do any research for this article? If so, she should have discovered that it's not as easy as the Guides just "changing their name". It is all about their charitable aims. Anyway, typical pro trans girl inclusion article from ZW.

Stopped reading the Grauniad years and years ago. - at best even before 'trans' lunacy it was patronising towards and dismissive of women. Pretty bog standard lefty bros.

Seriously, don't be jealous. I went there and have never met so many psychopaths in one place. A kind of hungry malice stalked the quads: the real-world job market was waiting at the end of the Oxford rainbow, and entitlement doesn't like being forced to compete. Beneath the patina of success, people like ZM are terrified of being cut out of the network - losing their slim footing on the ice-cliff of public opinion. One false step, one failure to mouth the correct opinions, and she'll be another dead climber. And so on she goes, inhaling her own obvious nonsense. Awful fate.

Damned right! 👌💐💐💐💐

She’s always been as thick as mince

This would appear to be the source of that story in The Observer:

A birth certificate is all that's needed, surely? You have to show when your child starts school, so it's not that much of an imposition.

I was a guardian read but stopped about 5 years ago, precisely because of rubbish such as this. My family stopped reading it too. It’ll be over soon id imagine at the rate they’re haemorrhaging readers.

I mean, I get it that the dead hand of the likes of Ian Dunt and Otto English keep flogging this dead horse, but what is it with Zoe? Is this really the fate of midwits in the media from her perspective that has to be identical to misogynists like Dunt and English? She has no humility at all.

Yes. But birth certificates are not dramatic enough for people like Williams, who have to conjure up lurid fantasies to support their otherwise weak point. Previously I'd thought it was just the middle-age male pervert trans activists who were getting excited at the thought of genital inspections. Lord knows what is going through Williams's head that she is parroting this stuff.

So for the second time in as many weeks I am forced to ask 'what on earth is the editor at the Guardian actually for?'

The quality of journalism at that rag is beyond shocking.

Imagine, in the world according to Zoe, men's football would not have existed if the women's league had been allowed to continue after WW1. All those miners and brickies and ex-soldiers and machine workers would have been either obligated to watch the women's game, or no game at all. Or well over half of men in the game would never have made it as teams would have predominantly been women.
No wonder Zoe sees no issue with men in women's sport, they're no risk to women, women would always have been on top.
The woman is certifiably insane.

That is borderline child abuse. I read a few of the posts from him and it’s disgusting and that child is going to grow up all shades of fucked up and the parents will blame ‘society’ rather than understand their abuse of their little boy. Who looks like a boy and will continue to do so even more as the years go by. Poor thing.

Reminds me of “send us your reckons”. She’s completely uninformed but definitely reckons something about it. And for some reason the Guardian is publishing it.

trans girls she spelt boys wrong.

Remember the Other Place, where she was referred to universally as Woe Zilliams? I must say, every point I'd thought of has already been made here.

Particularly just changing the name and refusing point blank to consider girls, whi want a boy free space.

She's Queen Chump.

I’m a Guiding Leader too. I’m relieved about the ruling but the emails and communication from HQ are embarrassing. All this hand wringing and expensive consulting , yet GGUK don’t even know how many members are affected, For any members that do have to leave, I hope they’ll find their home in Scouts and are happy there.

We to have long waiting lists so I looks the the majority of our parents and carers are ignoring HQ and supporting local Guiders who are just cracking on doing what we do - girl lead activities in a girl only space.

To be fair the Guardian did have journalists like Bindel, Freeman, Moore, Sodha who all stuck up for women, only 3 of those were driven out by TRAs.
The thing is, they should just fully lean in to being TERFy. At the moment they're pleasing no one. If you go on trans reddit, they hate the Guardian & BBC due to a few critical things being published by each.

Not while Viner's in charge, I think.

Good point about Roma girls. Like boys, they are often withdrawn from school earlier and overlooked so guides being open could potentially be very helpful to some who could go

Yes, I like Marina Hyde usually but I was surprised to find out she's the daughter of a baronet. Wonder how many others there are...🤔

Depressing a female editor is the one enforcing this rubbish...

She has made some comments about her school - something like "you think all girl spaces are kind?!"

TBF, I expect a lot of Sun journalists went to Oxbridge too. it's hardly just the Graun.

I thought Sun journalists were smart people pretending to be stupid. ZW is the other way around.

Sounds awful when you put it like that !
