A pity this ‘professor of journalism’ doesn’t spend more time chatting to his colleagues in the history department. They might be able to help him understand about the long and glorious history of propaganda in fascist regimes.
Because it’s very obvious why Butler’s assertions that women who believe in the immutable reality of sex are ‘fascists’ was cut - but he cropped out the question. She thought the indecent exposure at Wi Spa was a hoax.
But after five separate complainants came forward and charges have been laid against a man with a criminal history of predatory sex crime, far from being a hoax it is instead the simple and clearest example we so far have that we are RIGHT about the dangers of self ID.
Why on Earth is it an example of ‘fascism’ to want to protect women and girls from predatory males? Of course it isn’t. But it does show that we are fighting back against the most dangerous aspects of the religious cult of ‘gender identity’.
But what IS an excellent example of fascism is this dishonest and emotive propaganda against the group perceived as the ‘enemy’. We are to be dehumanised to make it easy to control or even kill us.
Just why do you think that this is being allowed in police forces across the country? Another part of the propaganda machine. The ‘terfs’ are the enemy, which will be crushed - literally here - by the forces of righteousness.
Which is why I am so angry about this and why I am so determined to fight it. I would be very willing to have honest and open discussions about how we deal with the conflict between Sex and gender. But this isn’t what they want.
They want capitulation and if we won’t capitulate, they seek annihilation. If not of our actual lives, certainly of our social capital, our employment status, our mental well being.
I have been a legal aid lawyer for 20 years. I believe in social inclusion and support for those struggling. I am an atheist but I don’t deny people their right to worship. I am no where near any respectable definition of ‘fascism’.
But because I deny the wish of male validation as more important than the rights of women and girls to safety and dignity, I find I am smeared as a fascist. So be it. What the propagandists will hopefully learn is that their efforts will not succeed. They will rather mobilise us.
And here we have a ‘professor’ who choses to be deaf to any opposing argument. But of course - pronouns in the bio so I should not be surprised.

Why would I want to read anything that starts from this ridiculous premise? I had a chemically induced menopause aged 43. My womb is of entirely no use. I am still a woman.
What makes me a woman is the fact that my body developed along the pathway of the female reproductive system - with all that entails for my physical strength and vulnerability to males etc. It doesn’t matter a jot if my womb works or ever worked.
My gender is probably ‘disagreeable masculine’ as I never wear high heels or lipstick and people tell me I am rude and aggressive. But still a woman. I don’t confuse my personality with my actual sex.
We will not forget. A thread on the remarkable courage and tenacity of the legal profession in upholding fundamental human rights for women would sadly be very short indeed. The capture of both mine and the solicitor’s profession has been remarkable and very sad.
I am not so sure about that.
Mainly because it’s not a ‘civil rights battle’ in the way you seem to think. I am fighting for my fundamental rights pursuant to Article 10. That gives me a certain amount of energy.
For the benefit of those not based in the UK or who have very short memories, let’s do a quick run down of how the ‘fascist terfs’ have prevailed in their civil rights struggle.
Harry Miller wins case against Humberside police and his appeal against Hate Crimes Guidance heard in March 2021.
My JR against Wiltshire on similar grounds about to be issued.
While we waste time responding to increasingly polarised narratives about ‘pro contact culture’ etc in the family courts, this is what is happening on the ground
But this is always what happens when you cede control of the narrative to one single issue campaigning group. The problems with the family justice system are nothing to do with systemic misogyny or ‘pro contact culture’ - AKA the law.
It built an entire edifice on sand - that ‘terfs’ are fascists because fascists protested outside Wi spa and the whole thing was a transphobic hoax.
Except it wasn’t.
What happens when you continually parrot ‘no debate’ and refuse to engage with your opponents? You give them little choice but to engage in the cruder forms of public and open resistance.
Of course Sonia Appleby had ‘an agenda’. It was child safeguarding. This is where ludicrous accusations of ‘transphobia’ will get you. The deliberate abandonment of children’s welfare to serve an adult ideology.
So how did the usual suspects comment on this story? They didn’t. Here’s Mermaids and one of their patrons. How is upholding Gillick competence an attack on it?
Here’a David and John, and the burning issues of the day
