Previous thread: https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/5549122-tempest-v-rural-payments-agency-tribunal-thread-3

TT substack: https://tribunaltweets.substack.com/p/tempest-vs-defra-and-rural-payments

Tempest (a TW) is claiming discrimination, harassment and/or victimisation on grounds of gender reassignment. Central to the claim is the existence of the Sex Equality and Equity Network in the Civil Service (SEEN). SEEN has been granted right to intervene. Parts of the original claim against the co-chair of SEEN (Elspeth Duemmer-Wrigley) and another party (Andreas Mueller) were struck out or narrowed. Another claimant, PQ, is no longer part of the case.

I will also note that Elspeth still has a garden in need of seeds and water to support the ability of SEEN to be an intervenor in this case. The claim originated because she said "only women menstruate" and a search with her name and those terms at the usual gardening website should point you to her plot.

From TT:

NC: If any network was going to defend women against "TWAW" -
ED: According to FWS I am female, even though I am not
NC: We don't need to get into details of your medical condition -
ED: variation please
NC: of course.

ED: I have a perfectly natural variation -
J: Can we please get round this complexity.

NC: The variation you have is v rare
ED: Basically yes
NC: Can we confine our discussion here to the vast majority of ppl who are unambiguously male or female?
ED: Agree most ppl are

No there was once a cow born with five legs so it is proof that we all exist between the binary.

If you disagree its genocide.

Surely all the cows with 4 legs are tables?🤔

Operation NC:

NC: So if someone actually wanted a women's network, they had to start one?
ED: You mean female not women

ED is just digging herself a hole now, and NC made her buy the shovel first.

She must not of got the memo - Women = Adult Human Female

From TT:

J: Can we get back to the point about needing a new network - did you mean, to be GC?
NC: No - I mean, women as defined by the EQ, it's a biological category, and if there is going to be a network for them then it needed to be started from scratch
ED: Yes

NC: In particular, if any network was going to defend rights of women from those TW who seek to use women-only facilities, or women's opportunities, if anyone was going to say no those are for women, it was going to be SEEN. Nobody else would?
ED: Yes

NC: We agree SEEN an outlier here then?
ED: Yes

So her full time job, pay for by us, was to hound SEEN out of existence.

Be fair, she was offering free handholds to people as well.

I was elected as Chair of a:gender in 2019. I have since been re-elected a further three times. Most recently, I stood on a joint ticket with a former vice chair and we were elected as Co-Chairs. The reason for the shift to the co-chair arrangement is the impact of recent events on my health, which I address in more detail later in my statement.

Translation: My grift was good, it was strong. I had 5 good years sitting in London taking my hormones supporting vulnerable women like Stocky SaMANTHA. But that bloody Maya whatever ruined it. She must have been brain controlled by the non existent SEEN network to run a case to allow them to exist.

When they existed things got hard. I had to be the Stasi but also hunt facists and prevent genocide. SaMANtha almost ceased to exist but I kept clapping. We had to use logic and facts and they kept using science against us. It was stressful so I went back to drawing maps at the Land Registry. AI will soon take my job. AI is intersex too. And it doesn't need hormones so its cheaper to run.

I have some sympathy with women who have DSD's and can recognise why they might have desire to resist the idea of sex being binary and the value of single sex spaces in that context but a developmental disorder does not prove that sex is not binary, it proves there can be genetic disorders. If she had phrased it more reasonably ie because of my disorder, I sometimes find the idea of sex being binary upsetting because it seems to, on the surface, exclude the idea of the possibility of that being disordered she could have had an interesting discussion with SEEN.

They are genocidal facists. I doubt they are even cows. I mean they might be part of a facist genocidal herd. Hard to tell.

I blame Maya.

From TT:

NC: You say WS 15 you see no need for anyone to say sex is binary - have I not just set out the need? To defend women's spaces?
ED: Why do they need defending? Nobody is saying - we're saying, does it matter and if so how much. This is not the conversation that needs to happen

NC: It's not the one you want to have, but plenty of women do.
ED: They can do that without a network.

NC: They cd to some extent, and often have had to, but they can do it more easily with a network?
ED: [missed]

NC: You say here "active harm" - you mean angry and upset?
ED: And frustrating - trying to deal with people who think, I don't know, that I'm lying? Don't know what they think.

I am reminded of de Beauvoir for no reason at all whatsoever.

Shortshriftandlethal · Today 15:33

ED just cannot accept/won't accept the validity of any position outside of her own. People can explain their 'lived experience' in order to explain, but she'll never accept that either. She's wedded to an ideological article of faith that is totalitarian in its nature.

Tallisker · Today 15:34

Bear in mind the Land Registry didn’t have a SEEN group. This horrible person had a network of spies in Defra stalking SEEN members and reporting to her.

EmpressDomesticatednottamed · Today 15:34

Don't know what they think.

Of course you don't, you don't want to talk to them and find out you just want to shut them up.
This is painfully stupid.

TheatricalPaws · Today 15:35

I'm starting to understand the twisted logic of the overused 'genocide' by activists. We can see from ST and ED, and countless others not involved here, that their worldview, their activism, their skewed views of how they see themselves, are ALL THEY HAVE.

No wonder if people question them, they see it as genocide. They can't afford to lose it, because they have nothing else. I'm absolutely astonished that any one of them manages to keep a job, that they are not all, every single one of them, living on the streets.

myladydisdainisyetliving · Today 15:35

From TT:

NC: True that many on the side that say sex is not binary and is mutable, lots are very angry about FWS supreme court?
ED: Don't know
NC: Didn't you do a survey?
ED: Perhaps when I was off?

J: Was there one?
NC: I was told there had been so, surprised ED didn't know.
ED: I don't think we did a formal survey - we might have invited comment, temperature check, but not aware of formal survey.

NC: I suggested that lots of people not on the GC sided would be angry
ED: the inclusive feminism side? Yes of course cross.
NC: And lots of organising - in the unions etc - how to get around it
ED: Yes lots of activity.

And yet how many of these ETs have heard arguments from the employers that no staff network raised issues about SSS….ignoring the fact that none had a women’s network.

7. I was working full-time as chair of a:gender until civil service policy changed such that full-time DEI roles were eliminated. I am now officially allocated 10% of my working time for network activity, and perform work specifically for the Land Registry for the remainder of my role.

They stopped the hose pipe of cash. Those taxpayers and Trump got wind of the waste. I mean I was being paid a full salary to represent less than 0.1% of the workforce. And we didn't do much except send death squads to eradicate sex realists - and even that way against the law.

Thank heavens someone eradicated this nonsense

rebax · Today 15:36

Can see where this is going...

Shortshriftandlethal · Today 15:36

It is revealed that ED's network conducted a survey after the FWS judgement that she, first of all ,denied knowing anything about. She's a transparently 😅 poor witness who gives herself away at every turn.

TheatricalPaws · Today 15:36

AI will soon take my job. AI is intersex too. And it doesn't need hormones so its cheaper to run.

For you Beetle if you claim that you are intersexy - done deal.

I am intersexy too. Its like inter railing but you just sit in your bedroom and feel sexy.

Surely you have to sit on the stairs so you are inter level too.

StellaAndCrow · Today 15:37

NC: Used to be a women's network?
ED: It's now the gender network
NC: It says TWAW
ED: Yes, trans inclusive feminism, same position as us re having characteristics that are not female.

"It's now the gender network". Of course it is.

And they reckon trans people are being erased???
