One of Maya Forstater's lawyers, @peter_daly, on @amnesty , the @fawcettsociety, the organised Trade Union movement, the political parties: "All have ignored these women, or been positively hostile"

Maya Forstater's lawyer:

"Amnesty Ireland went furthest of all by putting its name to a statement calling for people with Gender Critical beliefs to be “denied legitimate political representation”. Even typing that sentence feels implausible."
Maya Forstater's lawyer says in the light of today's judgment, @theSNP need to review their proposed hate crime legislation, and national police forces need to stand down from thought policing.

Maya Forstater's lawyer says that in the light of today's judgment, the Office for National Statistics @ONS need to review fundamental priniciples, social media needs to stop censoring gender-critical views, and education authorities need to stop indoctrinating children.
Maya Forstater's lawyer says that in the light of today's judgment, the right of lesbians, gay men, and bisexual people to affirm their sexuality as being sex-based is protected.
"For Gender Critical gays & lesbians, the insistence of homosexuality as same-gender attraction can be seen as unvarnished, base homophobia of the type that even five years ago was thought defeated, except within the most reactionary and bigoted corners of society."
Maya Forstater's lawyer says today's judgment upholds the right of LGB people to organize:

"There is an urgent need now to question the wisdom of grouping all LGBT people together as a homogenous single group, classified and defined solely by reference to Gender Theory."
Maya Forstater's lawyer says today's judgment means organizations need to question their performative waving of novelty Pride flags.

"There is no sense at all in adopting exclusionary iconography in the name of inclusion."
There are many other excellent points raised in @peter_daly's commentary to today's judgment in the Maya Forstater case.

Well worth a read:

Oh, an important one!

Maya Forstater's lawyer on pronouns:

"Policies which demand the mandatory insertion of pronouns in email footers... may be evidence of the hostile environment described at s.26(1)(b) Equality Act 2010..."

Germany was all set to adopt its self-ID law, but thanks to women's campaigning, the minister of Justice has had a belated realization that this would abolish women's rights to single-sex spaces, and so for now it's on hold.

Trans activists are furious.

Minister @MarcoBuschmann's reasoning is bizarre & vague however.

He says for example a woman running a women-only sauna should be able to protect the privacy of her customers by deciding on the basis of someone's "external appearance".
Because he doesn't want to say "male sex".
@MarcoBuschmann He says the self-ID law should not force business owners running single-sex services into a situation where women would sue them for breach of the German equality law.

NOW they're thinking about it.
(This law was supposed to have been adopted a while ago)

The @guardian serves up some more lies today in a puff piece on male Thai media tycoon and trans lobbyist J. Jakraputhatip, who they say is "the first woman to own the Miss Universe Organization."

Oh and also, he was born "in the wrong body".

theguardian.com/world/2023/jan… Image
@guardian "Miss Universe was owned by a succession of men and now it's owned by a WOMAN!"

Nope, @rebeccarat, the line of male ownership is still unbroken.

If all the world's male CEOs and politicians declared themselves "trans women", what a breakthrough for women that would be!

Right?
@guardian @rebeccarat In a previous piece on Jakrajutatip*, the Guardian specifies that he went to an all-boy's school.

Again, a man in an all-male environment fantasizes that he's a woman. Seems to be a pattern.

*misspelled his name in 1st tweet, sorry

Meanwhile, the Russian political opposition in exile abroad is falling all over itself in invective and rage at EU countries, especially Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Finland, for not having taken in a quarter of a million Russian men of military age.

Fine opposition there.
This fine Russian liberal uses the trolley problem to draw the conclusion that the Lithuanian minister of foreign affairs @GLandsbergis is responsible for the deaths of Russian men mobilized by Putin.

Disgusting.
@GLandsbergis Scratch the surface, there's the same old Russian imperialism:

Countries formerly occupied by Russia:
a) must place Russian interests above their own
b) owe Russians salvation
c) must do as Russians say
d) are to blame for Russia's crimes

I always thought the revolts in Russia would start in the Caucasus, and here they are. Smart & well-informed women in Daghestan tell the police trying to draft the men for Putin's insane war: "It's Russia that attacked Ukraine! No to war!"

Women fighting policemen against Putin's military mobilization in Makhachkala, capital of Daghestan.

Police reinforcements arrive in Makhachkala. The crowd shouts "Shame! Shame! Shame!"

Videos of mobilized men from various parts of Russia.
An ragtag army of drunkards against the battle-hardened forces of Ukraine.
Some more Russian drunkards mobilized to conquer Ukraine. One is too drunk to even pull up his trousers. Wonder how he'll manage with a kalashnikov.

Drunken goodbye party for mostly ethnic Kazakhs from the Volgograd region, being sent off by Putin to kill and die for him. Though they look like they believe they're off on a picnic.

Russian vox pop:

1. Russia has to win so Ukrainians can live more peacefully and our boys can come home.
2. Ukraine will be a second-rate state. And we'll take that land back.
3. We're apolitical. All that matters is everyone should live well, both here and over there.
Russian vox pop 2/

4. We're going to kick out that Nazi carrion. We didn't finish them off in WWII, so we'll finish them off now.
5. We'll take all those poor [Ukrainian] citizens under our wing, and all will be well. I think Putin will create better living conditions for them.
Russian vox pop 3/

6. No idea. Victory for Russia.
7. Ukraine has to be wiped off the face of the earth. Who needs it anyway? And Poland next.
