Thanks Dusty, so many good pieces on the two updates. Thanks for reposting the amazing Lierre Keith piece, I love it.
Totally agree with Julie Bindel, I’ve sent it to a couple of big companies which support gender drivel. And let’s hope that the autism research in Denmark will have some knock on effects elsewhere.
Shame on whoever stitched across JK Rowling’s name but well done to the ladies who unpicked the ‘silencing stitching’.
Interesting discussion from Claire Fox and Andrew Doyle but I have to take issue with their concern at an authoritarian backlash against woke. Whilst I don’t want our side to turn into authoritarians who call for cancellations etc, I do think we need a backlash in order to squash woke. If that involves a bit of schadenfreude when their side takes a bashing, I can only say, it’s their own fault. As Mia Hughes says ‘I want vengeance’. 😁
Well done sending Julie's piece to two companies - good idea! I liked 'a pride of perverts' 😂
I do think that there is a bit of over concern by Andrew and Claire about our side becoming authoritarian. For example, the political transvestites can whine on all they like ( post the SC judgment) about 'third spaces' ( free speech letting them whine) but I don't think we need to give that the time of day. Let's just get on with implementing the judgment. I read Stella O'Malley recently talking abut the 'gender critical woke' and I thought 'what are you talking about, Stella?' 'GC and woke do not go together!!!!
Look forward to watching Mia's interview with Meghan Murphy and thanks for sending to me

NB OK it's sunny again and heading out to the garden!!
The downpours have ruined my roses 😡 although we needed the rain.
There’s a new thing called right wing woke where people are accusing anti woke people of becoming authoritarian, that’s probably what Stella is referring to. It’s all becoming silly and it’s not going to help us defeat the madness.
I think we know who the authoritarians are; those whose mantra is ‘no debate’; who want compelled speech; who insist on preferred pronouns; who claim to be what they are not; who claim that puberty blockers are safe/reversible; who invade women’s language, safe spaces and sports. QED. #LiesAreNotFreedom
Exactly Liz although there are extremists and authoritarians in any group so I suppose we have to be on our guard not to fall into the trap of overreacting…..tempting as it is 😁

Bad luck re the roses.
Now on my walk 😊
And agreed!
