The gutting of the women's sector in two tweets.

There are staff & trustees all over the sector too scared to speak up up

Sam Smethers could have given them protection while at Fawcett.

Meanwhile the leadership of established orgs self-flagelate over "white tears"
How hard would it have been for these established organisations to have put together a "Development Emergencies Committee" style website for individual donations (they wouldn't even need a common pot, just a menu would have done it), but they wer busy apologising ...
Leaving the field open for an ungoverned fund to jump in.

JoMo "im the best feminist" thinks it's all good (it's very similar to his "Save Trans Kids" fund after all)
Meanwhile a motley crew of organisations (the only thing they have in common: "TWAW, SWIW") are making a rush on the Domestic Violence Bill in parliament, to use it to make it harder for anyone espousing female only devices to survive in the sector.

Back in September I made a complaint to the Parliamentary Commissioner of Standards about Crispin Blunt and the @APPGLGBT
When a parliamentary complaint is taken up you are sent a very stern letter saying you cant talk about it till the outcome comes out

The evidence & outcome was published in late February - the complaint was upheld: it was seen as inadvertent mistake

And I sent this email to colleagues

In the "Great Leap Forward" China's govt set impossible targets for agriculture & industry production.

There were disastrous outcomes for people, but officials kept reporting targets were being met.

If they kept repeating the propaganda they could keep their job & stay safe
I wonder if the judges in these judicial reviews coming to court are getting a feeling of this

...they are finding out that things in the countryside do not reflect the glowing official propaganda

And civil servants are perhaps not doing their job.
In the Keira Bell case the judges expressed "surprise" that the NHS's premier clinic transitioning children had so little evidence to support what they were doing

This is interesting. What overlap is there between the followers of mainstream charities and grassroots orgs concerned with gender ideology?
The groups that minusplnp call "anti trans" follow the mainstream orgs, but the mainstream orgs don't follow back

Partly this is big orgs/small orgs social media managers/activists...
But partly it's a result of this kind of thing - external and internal policing against following "TERFS"

Penny Mordaunt in the House of Commons - the govt is content to accept the Lord's amendments - "mother" is legally accurate and in line with recent case for. The intention and meaning of the bill. The word "woman" would have run into legal difficulties 🤨parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/02…
Crispin Blunt - Gender Identity Development Services under "well funded legal attack"

- does he mean the Keira Bell Case... well funded by women putting 30 quids in the hat.
A debate which came out of nowhere says Blunt.

Sitting behind the passion is the Heritage Foundation 🙄LGBAlliance, Donald Trump 🙄

This is, in fact, a million miles from that.

If you counterprotest in the pathway of of an organised march you can expect to be moved on by police keeping the peace.

We want police to follow the rule of law.
One people who complained to my employer said that this video by FPFW which I had tweeted "reminded her of the Nazis" because of the colour scheme

And here is Omid carelessly slurring female academics as Nazis (he said he didn't mean it, it was just for bants and he hadn't actually read the article)
