I was reading an interesting post on FB about the GG and WI situation. Essentially both have been secretly fighting legal action from anti trans groups for a little while and they can’t afford to continue, according to the post. Well funded TERFs are forcing their hand.
G Sabini-Roberts • Follow ... 1h • Q I need to drop a post here today to expand on the goings on yesterday. Yes, the decisions by Girlguiding and the Women's Institute are awful, but yesterday, as the dust settled and more information leaked out, a different picture started to form. It's important we all understand that new picture so then the righteous anger we all feel can be directed where it actually needs to go. We now know that both GG and WI have been fighting legal battles behind the scenes from attacks by the small but very well funded and vicious anti-trans lobby for some time. Neither organisation has talked publicly about this. I wonder if, at this point, they can't. In both cases, they have now reached a David Vs Goliath moment whereby if they continued to try and fight those legal battles, they as organisations would cease to exist. They would have to put everything into those fights. Fights that they may even win, eventually, because the law on this is still untested and we are still awaiting the outcome of the initial legal challenges against the EHRC back in April. But it would be a long and very expensive fight. You can't win a fight if the fight itself would take more than you have. Regardless of right or wrong. Both these women's organisations do a lot of essential work providing community and support for thousands of women and girls. They have both, yesterday, been forced to bend to the legal challenges they are facing because to continue would mean they could no longer support anyone. And they are, both, working hard to try and find 'alternative' ways to support trans women and girls as a way to keep doing their work in a way that isn't going to kill them in legal fees to fight a vicious and entirely unnecessary attack. And, like I explained yesterday, actually enforcing their new rulings is all kinds of problematic and they don't know how they will do it yet. The way they have gone about communicating those decisions and managing the fallout could have been done infinitely better, true. There are huge lessons to be learned on all of that. But again, they can only learn those lessons if they can stay alive long enough. So if you're writing to your MP, or going to a protest, or discussing this with others and explaining why this is all happening, it's not the organisations that we should be directing our anger at. Or the majority of it anyway. It's the anti-trans lobby. It's she who must not be named. It's the people who, for some still unknown reason, believe passionately that excluding trans women and girls from women's spaces - where they have happily been an unremarkable part of the community for decades - is more important than keeping organisations that support women alive. They believe cis women are safer alone, isolated, with no support network than they are by sharing a village hall with a trans woman. So what do we do now? We lead with that message. If we withdraw from those spaces we make sure that it is known why so we contribute to the evidence gathering showing that the decision to exclude trans women and girls is not a 'proportionate' means to ensuring all girls get the support they need. Because by going so, the membership leaves in droves, leaders step down, groups close. Excluding trans women and girls means that everyone loses. We need that evidence. I'll pop some stuff in the comments to things you can contribute to as I come across it. We need to spread this message. Because yesterday, 'Girlguiding/WI is bad' was an easy headline. Today we know it's far more nuanced. The more people who understand that the less we get drawn into a fighting each other and can collectively focus on fighting that small, angry but very rich minority who have decided that their hate is the only way forward. And sometimes their actions do a very good job of making the rest of us fight each other before recognising it's them who are the real problem. I'm certain that if those legal challenges were withdrawn, both organisations would revert back to being trans inclusive immediately. So let's work to make that happen.

Average singer? AVERAGE? Who even are you, Paul? Also, imagine trying to criticise and insult a black woman for wanting to stand up to racism.
Paul Moore Excuse me Beverley Knight... What is your definition of "far right"? Perhaps you need to open up your brain to the division, racism and violence caused by the far left. You're an average singer with an average opinion.Wake up

Whats that? Sarah Pochin going on about right to a fair trial?… but the ECHR protects that and Reform want out of it.
David Lammy announced today that he plans to abolish trial by jury for all but the most serious offences. UK law is built on the fundamental right to be tried by our peers. Take this away, and you open the door to politicisation, corruption, and unfair trials. This undermines the very foundation of British justice and it must be stopped.

The lovely Beverley Knight has ruled up the right wing numpties with this very simple message.
Lots of people ranting about protecting women from ‘boat people’ yet most domestic and sexual abuse is by white British men. Oh I forgot, it’s only a concern IF an attacker isn’t white.
I'm so saddened by the growing division in our society. We are all just one of the billions making our way through life. Just fellow humans, who have lost our humanity. Encouraged to do so by powerful voices and forces for their own ends. Racism is a disorder, a sickness. Irrational. Ugly. Add it to power and the results as we ALL know are catastrophic. We have to band together to show racism the door. It cannot be allowed to fester and spread. That is why I'm using my voice along with so many others to make it happen. Together.

August had groom this weekend with a new groomer. So much better than the one we tried before who basically sheared him like a sheep despite asking for a teddy bear cut.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of seeing The Sound of Music at the Leicester Curve. Absolutely fantastic! Great cast, brilliant set. Two of these images are from Google as no pictures during the show - obvs. But the third is one I took from behind the stage as the stage area is opened up at the end.
Maria and the children singing and dancing on stage with the hill set The wedding scene with trees, the hill, nuns, congregation and abbey window Behind the stage, view of the hill set piece - which features a stream.

Oh f*** off, Bev.
Many of is know EXACTLY what Graham is like as we’ve faced his abuse, libel, slurs, bullying and harassment. He’s no voice for women or LGB people.
Graham Linehan is a criminal. Pass it on. Bev Jackson • @BevJacksonAu....1d @ : Replying to @Femi_FPolitics What a despicable remark. It displays your ignorance and callous disregard for child safeguarding. Graham has fought tirelessly to amplify the voices of women's and LGB rights campaigners and to highlight the dangers of children being given dangerous drugs. Many of us could initially hardly get anyone to hear us without his help. And he always helped. We were opposed by people like you, who would merrily tweet that this or that fledgling organization is a hate group: "pass it on". You have no idea how much misery you have caused and how many truly courageous people you have vilified. You should hang your head in shame.

This is a stupid and obscene amount. FOX News and GB News lie constantly and push a far right narrative. Yet a bad edit on a video and the orange menace wants to sue for between 1-5 billion?

Last night was all about making pumpkin pie. Hopefully it’s turned out ok as this recipe was evaporated milk instead of condensed. Plus the scales stopped working so I had to guess measurements. 😬😂

GBeebies are doing their usual. @zackpolanski.bsky.social is wearing TWO poppies. One white, one red. The white is older than the red, as a result, the gammons are frothing over it. Every year that’s poppy rage and the target this time is the white poppy. Makes a change from ‘it offends Muslims’
The white poppy is often worn by some who consider the traditional red poppy as glorifying war and conflict GBN Zack Polanski wears a white poppy as he overlooks Remembrance Sunday ceremony at the Cenotaph Comments calling Zack a bell end and other similar insults because he wore a white poppy.

Proper Déjà vu with Jane Harris. She tried her terf tricks from a few years ago - suggesting I could be a sex offender because she didn’t like me calling her out on Scene Magazine. Criticism & standing up to transphobes is apparently ‘harassment’ and justifies insinuating gay a man is a predator
I mentioned porn-hub only because so many of the men who engage in your kind of harassment of women online tend to be porn-addled. Why are you so invested in getting men into women's spaces? It's a red-flag. There's plenty of evidence to prove that men who start out harassing women online on this subject and insisting that men should be allowed into women's spaces are, let's just say, dodgy. Look up tech reporter Peter Bright, former MP Eric Joyce, prison official Gordon Pike, election agent, David Challenor, Councillor David Smith. All of them harassed women online, exactly as you are doing now, insisting that men be admitted to women's spaces, and all of them went on to be convicted of sex offences.

Just encountered the ‘delightful’ Jane Harris on FB. I’m sure I clashed with her on Twitter. Author. TERF. I’m sure she tried claiming I was akin to a rapist or something back in the day. Or a sexual predator.
Today she wittered on about pornhub. lol asking me if it was down when I criticised her. 🙄
Jane - what’s up? Is Pornhub down? Me - why would I be on pornhub? I've just done an hour of cardio at the gym. Now I'm going to pick my husband up from the train station. What's up? Not got anything remotely intelligent to come back with? No surprise. Jane - methinks he doth protest too much Me - methinks you're fantasising. Weird how you're so invested in porn hub. What an odd thing to come out with. Do you often think about gay men using porn sites? I've literally been on the X trainer and treadmill. Sorry that doesn't suit your moronic attempt at an argument
