“In Paris, the entire process takes about two years. In such cases, an indictment by the investigative magistrate is almost automatic, regardless of the merits of the complaint.
<Such criminal complaints can therefore be used as a PR or spin control tool to discredit a book,
article or investigative piece by generating publicity associated with the filing of such a criminal complaint>
In a sense, that is the French version of a SLAPP suit. Once the indictment is publicised
<on occasion the plaintiff quietly withdraws proceedings to avoid the troubles
of the actual trial>
To avoid conviction, the defence can offer to prove the truth of the facts or at least, its good faith (bonne foi), by establishing the legitimacy of the goal pursued and the seriousness of the investigation. Under the influence of the ECHR, the burden of

We have said

Sex matters
Dress how you like but the word woman is taken
Protect women and girls
No XY in XX spaces
No XY in XX prisons
No XY in XX sports
Let women speak
Woman is not a costume
Men are not women
Woman Life Freedom

We’ve been consistent throughout

Now do you
Let me break it down

Sex matters bc our bodies are real, and women are oppressed on that basis

We are not what we wear, let us wear what we like - and stop policing or redefining our words to include those performing regressive stereotypes

The love of money is the root of all
evil, but misogyny must surely be the stem

Men don’t belong in our spaces bc we made them for us

Men have the world
We have the space we made so we can do for ourselves
Why do men want in to our spaces? I’ll tell you why
Bc men oppress women
therefore they need women to oppress

#TerfIsland has been the single greatest cross-party, cross-sector, cross-sectional women’s movement in recent years

an entirely organic, 🇬🇧 feminist reaction to the failure of these legacy women’s orgs to recognise sex realism in society

We had no voice

They had no courage
Women from every corner of the country, every industry and institution, every religion and none, every political persuasion

Women of all classes, ages, races, all academic and economic backgrounds, all abilities and disabilities

found each other

by standing on the truth
That’s a coalition

United by the knowledge that our sexed bodies have actual meaning in the world

Not as self-imposed limits on our acts and aspirations

But the *reason why* Afghani women and girls are denied any kind of life independent of male control
Why the @UN agreed to

I found this article illuminating on @DebbieHayton’s journey to self awareness, but this jarring quote signals imo just how much work on himself he has yet to do.

This need for *others to perceive him as a woman* is a boundary-breaching imposition that treats the non-consensual
participation of others in his paraphilia as a harmless, cost-free exercise of his own self-expression

But tricking someone into engaging with you as if you were female

when not only are you male

you’re also sexually aroused by thinking of yourself as a woman

is #RapeCulture
Consent is key

Would Dr Hayton engage in explicit sex acts in public?
Covert ejaculation?
Foreplay or self-arousal?

(I’m uncomfortable being explicit in this manner, but he himself invites us in the article to consider how his sexuality plays out)

I am sure Dr Hayton wouldn’t

When @LouiseDistras said #TerfIsTheNewPunk I knew exactly what she meant

When the Establishment drapes our streets in trans flags, demanding our pronouns, imposing yet another diversity program that dissolves difference

We Resist

When thugs gather to scream us down, threaten
us with violence, join forces with the same law enforcement that lets them off their crimes

We Resist

When politicians take $$$ from Big Pharma to push social misery
while their own children are identifying out of their sex in despair

We Resist

We sing the songs of Resistance
We sing them to the sound of the chains you wear yourselves

This music is discordant, but necessary

We are Free People with Free Voices

We’re not tied to an ideology that must police our every move

We are Free to Think

Diverse in Opinion

Free to Dress However We Please

What comes after #ThisIsNotADrill?

Because that’s where we are now.

You’ve seen the footage: Women corralled like livestock while TRAs surround them with noise and violence. The police forming an outer ring - facing outwards to ward off observers. They don’t see any violence
from the men in masks.

How did we get to the point where a police force riddled with misogynist abusers is acting as lookout for a mob of enraged anti-women activists intent on stopping women speaking?

How did we get to the point where one woman is vilified for the political
beliefs of unrelated men (beliefs she’s condemned) to the point where she is put in mortal danger by a celebratory, self righteous(and murderous) mob?

What comes after #ThisIsNotADrill?

What comes after rapists in women’s prisons, men masturbating in women’s toilets, women made
