This is the level of ‘analysis’ we have to endure. Gaslighting, denial, minimisation, outright hostility etc. and it is not restricted to individuals on social media, but comes from the police, CPS, Universities etc etc etc
I am not ‘transphobic’. I am deeply concerned for the health of our democracy. But all I ever get is this parroted response
Is saying sex is real ‘transphobic’? If so, what are the consequences of saying we cannot engage with reality because it causes ‘harm’? If the ‘harm’ is the anger or upset of those whose delusions we won’t scaffold, why is it necessary to protect them from their feelings?
Why do we permit such hostility, bigotry and overt discrimination against us? At least this anonymous troll account isn’t paid £31k to say this - but maybe it is. I can believe anything now, no matter how mad or stupid it is
So I say to the employees at @CPSUK and anywhere else, who find their jobs at risk because they will not bend the knee to an ideology that is at its heart misogynistic, science denying and anti- democracy - contact @BadLawTeam
At the moment state organisations still obey the law, once they are dragged kicking and screaming to confront it. So let’s make full use of #LawFare while we still can.

The difficulty is, if I met Sophie in a place where I was undressing or sleeping, I would be afraid. Because my eyes and ears send me a particular message.

Not Today, how I chose life | Sophie Cook | TEDxBrighton via @YouTube
Some women may say - well that’s your problem, I would be fine with it. But I suspect many other women would have the same visceral and instinctive response to what their eyes and ears were telling them
Does that make us bigots? Does that mean our instinctive fear must be overridden in order to scaffold Sophie’s desire for validation? What’s the appropriate punishment for those of us who cannot stifle our instincts?

What? It’s not a slur unless I call you it and then it’s a slur? What does this even mean? So how does Sophie decided who are the ‘te*fs’ and what will Sophie do with them?
The list of activities that ‘Sophie’ has been involved in went on and on and on and on today. Called for the sacking of Prof Stock, thinks the LGB Alliance is a ‘hate group’, gives out pronoun stickers to children, tells women they aren’t allowed to object to any term used as ID-
- and yet it’s £31k of public money being used to embed ‘Sophie’s’ version of ‘inclusion’ within our Independent prosecuting authority. And when the CPS are asked to comment, they give us this pap Image

Your daily reminder. None of my activism is with an eye on my ‘career’. It is people’s fear about career progression that has had such a chilling impact on the ability of ‘professionals’ to speak up.
If you think my political views are abhorrent and you would never wish to engage my professional services because of them, that is absolutely your right and I respect that.
But you have no right to suggest that having and expressing political views makes me unfit to be a barrister. I am not a civil servant, I am subject to no oath of political neutrality.

In May I was invited to attend a seminar on Hate Crimes by @Kyri_Kotsoglou of Northumbria University. On arrival he informed me that we were not allowed to tweet where we were for our own safety.
He also informed me that my email to him with a copy of my presentation had been blocked by the University at the request of another academic.

So I made a Subject Access Request.
The police at least have accepted that it was unlawful to categorise my protected political speech as hatred. It is somewhat surprising that a University nevertheless attempted to restrict my participation in an academic seminar.

Dear @Glos_Police. This is one of yours. I am often in Glos for work. As a gender critical female, am I safe in your city? Or is this a common view amongst your police force?
I would ask PC Steph directly but, inevitably
I don’t expect to you to engage with me via social media, but I hope you will engage with the formal complaint I will make to Professional Standards. This is unacceptable and frightening from a serving police officer.

Ms Cook casts a long shadow as a ‘trans rights activist’ with particular interest in ‘hate crime’. For making a polite suggestion on Twitter I was immediately blocked.
I am entitled to ask why this person is now paid about £600 a day to ‘embed’ their activism into the CPS, while referring to women in derogatory terms
I have already had one message from a CPS employee expressing their dissatisfaction. I hope they aren’t restricting this to me, but also making it known to their employer. But equally I can understand if that person is too afraid to potentially lose their job.
