uman stories behind women’s campaigning.

It’s been a living hell for women and for many it still is.

Lineker, though, lives in the BBC bubble – where his views, I would guess, are absolutely mainstream. Trans people are the most persecuted people on earth – this as an excuse for not going into the trans women in women's sport debate – and no one in the world is suffering as much as Gaza children, bombed for no good reason by the horrible Zionists. Unfortunately he has this urge to show what a nice guy he is – plus he's not interested in exploring stuff in any depth – so he keeps putting his foot in it. 

Hard to summon up any sympathy.

All those people, in costumes! Looks like a stage set.

For years, women and LGB people have been highlighting and combating a misogynistic, unlawful takeover of UK institutions by the gender identity cult. The law has now been clarified. But captured institutions from the civil service to trade unions are openly defying the law. This… pic.twitter.com/lWOb7cnWV4

"This is a serious situation. Without the rule of law, society descends into chaos."

Article here:

Britain’s biggest trade union has allowed a trans woman to run for a senior female role despite the landmark Supreme Court ruling on gender.

Ellie Waple is running for the female disabled member’s seat on the Unison national executive committee.

That is despite Supreme Court judges unanimously ruling earlier this month that the terms “woman” and “sex” in the Equality Act referred to biological sex instead of acquired gender.

Interim guidance that was issued by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) said: “A trans woman is a biological man. A trans man is a biological woman.”..

A Unison spokesman said: “This is an internal electoral issue. It is consistent with the union’s long-standing rules.”

And it's against the law.

ctations were low. When she offered him a memory stick containing case files and names, she was amazed that he not only vowed to investigate but to protect her from possible imprisonment as his source.

Beyond the therapy profession, few men have listened to more horrific tales of sexual abuse. Teenagers told him they’d been raped so often at such a tender age they could not bear children, that they’d been taken on to the moors and told to dig their own graves, or raped by a dozen men in one night. This was not just upsetting but difficult work: the girls could be infuriating, flawed witnesses, too drunk at the time to remember details. Yet he kept listening.

A distinct pattern emerged. While paedophiles usually work alone and in secret, these men did so collectively and openly, with friends or relatives, or fellow Pakistani Muslims working in the late-night economy for minicab companies and fast food outlets. And this modus operandi was replicated in other towns, and always — as in Rotherham — ignored.

It was a sensational story yet Norfolk, importantly, told it without sensationalism. Forensic and thorough, he refused to grandstand or promote his exclusives on social media, and only reluctantly appeared on TV. Squeezed on one side by angry liberal academics and community leaders, on the other by the gleeful far right, he cared only about the truth….

Surprisingly few men, I’ve found, are willing to risk their momentary discomfort, let alone careers, in fighting for women’s causes. Andrew Norfolk’s tireless efforts took an enormous toll: he was often exhausted, traumatised by the horror of what he had heard. I pray he died knowing this wasn’t in vain, that abuse continues but no one can pretend there’s nothing to see when a 14-year-old girl has sex with an adult male. Andrew, righteous among men, will be remembered as one who ran into the fire while others fled.

I know I know – should be used to this by now, but I still can't quite believe that this is the President of the USA.

Meanwhile…another member of the poor persecuted trans community.

nt guidance that imposed single-sex spaces based on biology was “vigorously opposed”.

A government spokesperson said: “We will update policy wherever it is necessary and will be guided by the revised EHRC code of practice when it becomes available.”

But it's the law. The law now.

However, one civil servant said: “The culture at a departmental level has got worse as a result of the Supreme Court ruling. There is still a culture of fear around speaking up about the biological nature of sex, and gender-critical women are still openly being called bigoted, Nazis and racist for their views.

“The prevailing narrative is that the Supreme Court ruling is a great injustice to trans people, with most comms focusing on supporting transgender colleagues and allies. Most people do not feel able to speak up or challenge policies, all of which remain in place despite directly contradicting the ruling.”…

Maya Forstater, chief executive of the charity Sex Matters, said: “Whitehall’s failure to follow the law is a national scandal. It should lead by example but refusing to implement the Supreme Court judgment smacks of ideological extremism.

“There has been widespread defiance across the public sector, and with even senior civil servants now flouting the judgment and the law, political leadership and intervention is urgently needed.

“The judgment could not have been clearer, and there is no excuse for delaying any change to unlawful policies. Government departments and regulators are knowingly sitting on a ticking time bomb and will only put themselves at further risk of legal action by refusing to make the necessary changes.”
