Given everything over the last few days, I thought I should give this video a go. I managed 6.03 minutes of this 41 minute Posie diatribe. In that brief (unbearable) time, I learnt that until very recently Posie didn’t know anything about trans. She was, to quote, “ignorant”.
Now, trans people have existed since time began and modern trans cultures in the UK are, well, hardly new. But Posie was at home having all her babies and only “found out about it” 5 years ago; in 2015 . When she did “find out about it”, it made her feel,to quote, “uncomfortable”
Over to Posie: “NOW, I’m not very good at feeling uncomfortable. It’s just something I’ve never been very good at.” She puts this down to being “feisty”. When she’s uncomfortable she doesn’t think she should, quote, “wear it own it, feel it”
As it is “someone else’s problem, whoever that is that’s making me feel uncomfortable”.
Thus, on learning of a whole new THING she wasn’t interested in reading gender history, theory, politics, art, literature in relation to this new THING. Nor was she bothered about talking with people who knew about this THING. Course not, cos, let’s remember, not her problem.
So, as she says, SHE started talking about IT and, as she admits, she’s “never stopped’.
And what the hell is going on with the in-house studio?!?
The colours! The equipment!
Posie is basically a very spoilt person who is stamping her feet because she doesn’t understand. Don’t like it! Don’t want it! But how the hell did this suburban housewife (and she’s very proud of this) get to be taken AT ALL seriously by women who know anything about feminism?
She IS Phylis Schlafly
She talks a lot about *all* the babies!
Doubt it very much mate.

5 years ago, in relation to the views of supporters of high profile GC feminists, I asked ‘can a movement be judged by its followers?’ Little did I know the very worst was yet to come. It astonishes me that the supposedly liberal GCs aren’t aghast at what they are part of.
The people who regularly come into my mentions in support of GC beliefs are the very worst of humanity
And if you don’t publicly speak out against these ultra sexist, homophobic and racist people who support your views, any hand ringing you might do in private is utterly worthless

This week the 'silencing' of Kathleen Stock reached extraordinary levels as Stock told her 'story' in a @BBCWomansHour 'exclusive', in a full length article in the @Telegraph and to @bindelj in a 50 minute video interview for @unherd This was the week of Kathleen getting revenge
There is, as @graceelavery has noted, a shift of emphasis in the latest narrative of events leading to Stock's *decision* to resign from her post at Sussex. Student protests become 'high jinks' and it is the academic 'enablers' who are blamed for Stock *choosing* to leave her job
While students still get a hard ride for the crimes of putting up posters and handing out flyers on campus, wearing masks on a demo during a pandemic, and lighting a flare (in 'trans colours' no less), Stock moved this week to hold the 'academic enablers' to account

Very soon the current movement against the rights of trans people will be viewed in exactly the same way as most people see the movements against minoritized people of the past.
That the advancement of rights for a disadvantaged group was catastrophised as an impending cut back on the rights of a privileged group will be seen with the distaste that most people view these same arguments of the past re race, class and sexuality.
The binary model of gender will be taught alongside its sexological and colonial counterparts, those of essentialist models of race and sexuality. Sex as existing on a spectrum will be a given within the mainstream scientific community.

One of the aspects of GC politicking that is particularly disgraceful is their collaboration with men who have no history with feminist movements and no interest in, or engagement with, feminist political thought.
Indeed, these are largely men who, in the best case scenario, have no wider involvement at all with social justice movements or, in the worst-though frequent- case scenario, stand against the rights of minoritized groups. Men on the far right.
Moreover, GC ‘feminists’ do not only join forces with these men, they actively utilise them as bully boys to attack one of the most vulnerable groups of women in society. Apparently this is done in the name of feminism.

On Wednesday 3 cis women gave evidence to the @Commonswomequ select committee on #GRA reform. These panellists spent the majority of their allocated time arguing that proposed reform has the potential to harm cis women due to the presence of trans women in ‘women’s’ spaces
Yet anyone who has knowledge about the issues at stake knows that changes proposed to the GRA would have absolutely no impact here. There is no connection as the Equality Act, by recognising trans women as women, ensures their right to women’s spaces such as toilets
The arguments presented at @Commonswomequ by these panellists were thus completely irrelevant- they might as well have been arguing that changes to the GRA would lead to a rise in the price of bread - and should have been told so by the committee Chair.
