You are paid millions. You are respected. You have OBEs.
Your orgs are systematically beating down on women w little power.
Freelancers, artists, early career, returners to work, single mothers, women in refuges. Those who cannot afford to speak up or most easily disposable.
Yes the bullies are in your organisations.
They are running your D&I function. They are in your affinity groups. You are paying them to lobby you.
Yes they will denounce you
Yes it is scary but you need to stand up.
Or simper like @fawcettsociety, say its toxic, congratulate yourself for your understandable cowardice.
Yes it is embarrassing that you didn't stand up for JK Rowling, for me, for Julie Bindel, for any number of women ...
Nevermind. You see it now. Stand up. Say something

The funders promoting the fashionable idea that "male" and "female" no longer matter are now playing the word game on the difference between rich and poor countries.
Dear @ayeshahazarika
I have not attacked you.
I do not engage in mindless cruelty
I do not get off on misgendering trans women, calling them men in dresses or making pathetic, vile comments
Here are some of the things I have written about sex and gender
Here is the article which contributed to me losing my job
I have been in complaints and counter-complaints process with them since Gregor Murray in June 2019 accused me of "abuse" for two tweets, calling me an "anti-trans bigot" and Transgender Trend a "hate group" which they took up
In the Scout Association's latest response (before the judgment) they said that the fact that I defended myself by saying that I would, where appropriate call a man a man, meant that I might not be suitable as a scout leader.
This is my defence of myself to the Scout Association that the employment tribunal (now overturned) said made me "absolutist" and "not worthy of respect".
The same defence was judged by Scouts to make me suspect as a Leader
Dozens of media outlets carry the same statement that "High Court Judge" Mr Justice Choudhury said my views "may well be profoundly offensive and even distressing"
.... but he doesn't say that in the judgment at all.
The ability of the public to bring JRs is important.
And there are permissions hearings and cost orders to deter the vexatious and frivolous.
I do think @CrowdJustice has been unwise to flex its own self-regulation for the Good Law Project.
Normally the rules require the "case owner" is the claimant and their lawyers sign off on the case page. But for GLP these constraints and quality control are removed.
