In a truly shocking judgment in the Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre para 57 stands out for me - the response to a warm, empathetic email looking for a way forward

“Your email was humiliating, so I feel humiliated. I don’t want to have
any conversations about this with you.”

We have given power to the thin skinned, the narcissistic and the actively dangerous. How many judgements like this will it take to restore sanity? It should not have required ANY.

4102236 - Judgment - 14.05.2024 (redacted).pdf - Google Drive
Para 75 - the point about giving primacy to one minority group inevitably means that others will suffer. Rights ARE a pie.

"There was a staff meeting on 7th July which the claimant attended which was about trans inclusion. There was no space for discussion about getting to the
heart of any of the issues but instead the meeting was essentially based on two questions around “how can we be better at being trans inclusive.” The meeting was very tightly controlled."
Again, para 114, those in charge of disciplinary proceedings did not know of the Forstater case, could not name it. WHO IS ADVISING THESE PEOPLE? Will they ever be held to account?
I would very much like to know who these shadowy ‘advisers’ are Image
I am now reading the judgment quite literally touching grass as otherwise I don’t think my blood pressure could take it. There is still beauty and sense in this world and thank heavens for robust employment tribunals Image
There is not enough grass in the world for this. What a reaction to a single sex female space for RAPE VICTIMS Image
Para 146. This is what the male CEO thinks of women who want single sex female spaces as RAPE VICTIMS Image
These men are a current and active threat to the rule of law, democracy and the safety of women. Image
When it suits them: they lie Image
The most significant issue of all. The failure to call MW to give evidence. These men know exactly what they are doing. They are actively promoting a malign ideology in defiance of the law and they know they cannot survive a moments scrutiny in any arena where they have to do more than simply shriek ‘transphobia’!Image
The Tribunal’s job is not to determine whether sex realism or gender identity is ‘better’ but it cannot ignore reality. For female victims of male RAPE then sex really does matter Image
Gender ideologues need to understand what ‘tolerance’ requires Image
NONSENSE. So good to see this word. We need to embrace it. We need to use it. Enough of being held hostage by domestic terrorists. Image
EGREGIOUS. HARASSMENT. 2 other excellent words we need to deploy more often. Image
HERESY HUNT Image
Lawyers have helped create and sustain this nonsense. You should be ashamed or at the very least persuaded to seek another discipline Image
KAFKA Image
Role on the remedy hearing.

Gender identity ideology is a virus that eats the brain.

Nothing proves that assertion more neatly than this complaint and subsequent suspension from the @TheGreenParty of yet another member of @GreenPartyWomen. Image
Remember ladies - the Green Party denies that your sex exists. Any plea for protection of same sex female spaces is a ‘transphobic dog whistle’. Image
The Green Party encourages unlawful discrimination and defamatory, dehumanising slurs against those with protected belief. Image

This for me is the key quote from the GMN response to the proposed 'Conversion Practices' Bill, and why I think it such enormous folly to direct attention and vitriol to individual trans identifying men. This is an attempt to capture the entire criminal justice system.

I really hope people will use their finite energies and resources to tackle this, rather than just trade insults on line. This is most definitely not a drill.

"In requiring a court to embrace a politically contested concept where one side of the debate believes in the existence of that concept and one does not, the court becomes, in effect a religious court siding with those who have such a belief."
While some are frothing about 'perverts' THIS is what actual politicians want to see made LAW.

"By way of example, a private counsellor who told a young patient to their professional view was that they were suffering internalised homophobia and manifesting a transgender identity as a result could in theory be prosecuted for a single activity intended and having the purpose of supressing a transgender identity. Given the interim Cass report[15] emphasises the importance of multi-disciplinary intervention, counselling and therapy, it is surprising that such services are placed in jeopardy of criminal prosecution."
I have already criticised the legally illiterate approach to parental responsibility, which then slides into talking about 'treating the child's welfare as paramount concern' . As the GMN point out, this is borrowing the statutory compulsion on COURTS to make decisions with the child's welfare as paramount. It doesn't apply to parents. All they have to do is not subject the children to significant harm or the risk of it. Any higher obligation is impermissible social engineering. If this Bill is made law then the criminal and family courts will diverge in ways that are potentially irreconcilable.

Also, I fail to see why or how PR is relevant for a Gillick competent child. As GMN say

"As children get older, they become more and more competent at law to look after themselves and parental responsibility is thus exercised less. It follows from this that not all Defendants who have parental responsibility under the relevant legislation will necessarily be exercising it."

As I go further down the rabbit hole with regard to how children are treated by those who insist that gender identity is the preferred organising category, I come across this interesting book from 2017. Image
It’s basic premise is that trans children have always existed and denial of this is - of course - genocide. I had not realised this word had begun to misused as early as 2017, or that we could have such a thing as ‘procedural genocide’. Image
But what is fundamentally alarming is the constant repetition that to deny children agency is to ‘infantalise’ them, and to muddy the waters by including those over 18 as children. This points to a crucial misdirection that Mermaids also relied upon heavily - if a child says they are trans, they are trans - thus lumping together the 3 year old and the 17 year old who are worlds apart in their ability to process information and understand it.Image

A ratio for the ages. And a further interesting evolution of the word ‘transphobia’. It seems to be evolving from a word that could have ended a career even a year ago, to a word that now provokes mockery or proud declaration.

Can you think of any other self-identifying civil rights movement that followed this trajectory? I can’t.

Image
But behind the justified anger something darker lurks. This man is not ‘trans’. He is part of a minority fetish called ‘sissy’. Image
This is a public site, in his own - male - name. He posts things like this. Image

I remember once having a chat and a drink with what seemed like a very nice man, intelligent and educated with a lovely girlfriend. He seemed genuinely shocked when I said that if he got on a tube carriage and the only other person was a woman, she would be carrying out an… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
He was 6ft and sporty - he would be physically stronger than any woman on the tube, and a match for the majority of men. He had never had to see the world through this lens and hence never considered it, despite being a lovely bloke etc
So when these big men with their big voices tell us they have been ‘welcomed’ by women into female only spaces, does it ever cross their minds that women have often had to lie and attempt to placate men, because they are afraid?
