Naomi Wolf keeps saying that gender critical feminists in the UK are funded by the US right.

When I asked her about evidence she says there is "tons" of it on the site Media Matters (for America) hmm....
I don't know what she is talking about - there is nothing at all on there about UK grassroots groups like @fairplaywomen
@Womans_Place_UK
Or women like @kiritunks @BluskyeAllison and me.
So just smears then, no evidence at all.

Here is someone actually "debating our existence" ...

@naomirwolf thinks the people who disagree with her online when she wades into the UK debate on self ID are bots.

@rachelmsavage have you checked out that claim ?
Here are 2000 of the "bots" at a conference at this year. They were convincingly human
Dr Wolf say "shine a light on their funding"

(At this point a robust interviewer might ask what you might find there, rather than just printing the smear)

So I asked this one.... (it felt like the right one at the time)

@Samsmethers said "It is a v. important issue & I can understand where the anxiety comes from. I see many cases of women @suzanne_moore was a case in point..."
"Women who have found themselves on the wrong side of this issue and as a result lose their jobs or feel that they are being silenced.

My response is that it is inequitable from their point of view but freedom of speech is not an unqualified right."
"It is a balancing act between those two interests and we do not want to silence women, we do not want to shut women out of this discussion.

It is also important that we exercise free speech responsibly."

Don't worry

you will only be criminalised for saying men are not women if it is " intended to stir up hatred"

More "dark money" accusations.
Using Crowdjustice page to make accusation of funding by "anti-gay, anti-abortion, anti-assisted dying US hate groups"
And to call someone (I think he means me) "a provocateur" arguing "for her right to misgender"

This conversation between @BretWeinstein and @DouglasKMurray is interesting - both for the visitor-local conversation on what's happening in Portland (it's really bad) and for the liberal-conservative discussion
There is an interesting tension between Murray's individualist view about liberty & responsibility & Weinstein's evolutionary lens. Murray keeps rejecting "we" talk (we fucked up etc) & Weinstein makes the case for understanding history as emergent systems where there is "we"
There is a really interesting (to me) bit from 1:22 where Weinstein is talking about incarceration rates of black men and impact on the bargaining power of women in relationships, & then on children. Where Murray says but not all uncommitted dads are incarcerated...
