. @Ubisoft cancelling @helenlewis for wrongthink

Thank you @IanDunt for standing up.

So important that people stand up for their colleagues and their peers when the mob and cowardly organisations come for them.
Helen says she believes that "trans women are women"

But she also criticises self ID and defends single sex spaces - and speaks up strongly for the need to be able to talk about this, including the freedom of speech of those who disagree with her

Helen's is a careful, moderate voice in all of this. Moderate enough to stay on the right side of @jolyonmaugham @samsmethers @fawcettsociety (... but will they stand up for her?)

This is chilling.

This is what is happening in Canada: Vancouver Rape Relief is called a "neo-nazi style", "cryptofacist" "hate group" for wanting to provide a rape crisis service & domestic violence refuge to female survivors with female staff .

Public funding was threatened to be withdrawn "VRR’s leadership was told to think about their choices... Choosing inclusion would have cost VRR absolutely nothing & gained them everything"

VRR's leadership chose not to 'include' males.

Public funding was removed.
Next plan of those who don't want women recovering from male violence to be allowed *any* female only space....

... Sue them for discrimination: "With enough lawsuits, you could seize ownership of the facilities and throw the current collective out on their ears."

This is a terse press release from @fawcettsociety

It's good @Samsmethers said something but her quote makes no sense alone

What was she commenting on? How was @Womans_Place_UK
being referred to? By who?

Take a look at the URL: "comment-on-denunciation-of-a-womans-place-as-a-trans-exclusionist-hate-group"

There's the original title of the post!

But somewhere along the line it was neutralised to "Fawcett comments on the sex, gender and identity debate"
So now we have a statement which leads with the unnecessary both-siderism "Trans people are targeted with violence, abuse and threats" .... "(and so are women)"

and doesn't say ANYTHING about the actual threat to women in this case (of bring kicked out of their political party)
