Stocking up on essential conference fuel @FiLiA_charity. Already seen some great T shirts in the queue! Image
A noble venue for #filia2021 Image
Really pleased to see calm sensible protest - as is absolutely your right. No shouting, pushing or anything untoward. And did I spot @PlaceSteph ? #filia2021 ImageImageImage
And some lovely singing as our COVID status checked

This is very serious. I saw the chalk drawings. It was rather hard not to. I was standing on a big pink penis, with a written invitation to suck it, as the names of women murdered by men appeared on the big screen.
There were also pictures of monsters with sticks to beat transphobes. Rather saddest of all this depiction of a cartoon princess as emblem of womanhood. Image
I could not have asked for a neater distillation of all that is wrong and dangerous about this movement - it’s hatred of women, it’s violence, it’s retreat into cartoon fantasy. I thought I might talk to this politician directly. Image

All hail! ‘I lost my job… then unlocked the JKR badge and levelled up … <applause> so many people contact me to say ‘thank you - I can now do my job’ @MForstater #FiLiA2021 Image
Maya was asked who she wanted on her panel
Couldn’t fit them all in the 43 sec video but it’s on YouTube. These were the ‘chains’ of women who gave her courage.

Tide turning? William Tench found in breach of Code of Conduct and suspended, pending social media training, for calling GC women ‘transphobic pond scum’. ImageImageImage
Good to see William recognises that sometimes you do have to exclude others to secure rights for some. Image
So all we need now is the LibDems to read and understand the Equality Act and it looks good for future sanity. #sexmatters ImageImage

Received confirmation that (I think) complaint #8 against me to my regulator for my conduct on social media has been rejected as
A) my comments were not designed to demean anyone
B) they were not in the context of a 'heated debate'
C) I am not responsible for what others post.
I will of course be keeping a careful record of who has complained against me and on what basis. It may be interesting if I am ever allowed to know the identity of those reporting me to the police.
Of course, if people genuinely feel that my behaviour merits investigation from my regulator or the police, I strongly urge you to make complaint; it is important that 'rogue' professionals are dealt with. I have experienced sadly first hand what happens when they are not.

Reasons to be cheerful Part II.

I am well aware that Twitter is not ‘real life’ but a social media platform that seems to encourage the worst in humanity in terms of abnegation of critical thought and knee jerk reactions to insult and abuse. But it’s still interesting.
In my decade on this platform this has been my most popular tweet ever. The response to it, at a rough estimate were 80:20 in favour. Even more interesting, the nature and extent of the abuse was fairly mild. I was mostly stupid or needed to relax.
I only had to block one person who kept insisting I ‘hated’ little boys in dresses. This was a deliberately dishonest statement. Of course this lack of abuse could simply be because over the years I have blocked the worst offenders. But could it be that the tide is turning?

Happy to go with this definition of 'transphobia' although I think it should be qualified by 'excessive' in front of dislike. A phobia is after all an extreme fear, and shouldn't be akin to how I feel about for eg. milk chocolate digestive biscuits.
So. Lets now list some of the things that I have said which have caused others to call me 'transphobic' - along with 'hateful bitch', stupid c*nt, rancid te*f' etc etc.
Are any of these transphobic? If yes, please explain why.
1. Sex is real and it matters.
2. Medical transition should not be the first resort for gender dysphoric children and there should be better provision for the care of their mental health
3. Women have a right to single sex spaces
