Do You Feel Lucky, Punk?

Update 639. Implement For Women Scotland judgment NOW Special. #BeMorePorcupine.

Now we are back with Dusty’s film series and the latest version of the list is here:

https://dustymasterson.substack.com/p/empire-of-light-dustys-film-series

Please let us have your suggestions for films but please check the list first to see if it is there already. I am updating the list as we go along. We are going through them alphabetically and had got to D prior to Terf Month.

Next up is Dirty Harry (1971).

A psychopathic sniper, later referred to as "Scorpio", shoots a woman while she swims in a San Francisco skyscraper rooftop pool. He leaves behind a threatening letter demanding he be paid $100,000 or he will kill more people. The note is found by SF Police Department Inspector ‘Dirty’ Harry Callahan, who is investigating the killing. Thus begins Dirty Harry’s relentless pursuit of Scorpio.

Firstly, he has to meet with the Mayor and the Chief of Police. And then he has to foil a bank robbery single handedly. All in a day’s work!

But how many shots has he fired!?

In the clip below:

Clint Eastwood is Dirty Harry

John Vernon is The Mayor of San Francisco

Harry Guardino is Lieutenant Al Bressler

John Larch is Chief of Police Paul Dacanelli

The For Women Scotland Judgment - What Should Be Happening Now

Useful summing up of where we should be now in the latest newsletter from Sex Matters ( 11 July).

Almost three months ago the Supreme Court made a clear judgment that sex means male or female, and single-sex provision must be based on reality and biology, not identity. But many employers and service providers are still not following the law. It’s clear that some will not comply until they are forced to do so. This week’s update is about how we will do that together.

Last week Allison Bailey won an important discrimination case against the veterinary practice she’d used for 13 years, which dropped her as a client because some staff there didn’t like her gender-critical beliefs. Dusty - see my report on this here: https://dustymasterson.substack.com/p/jonty-is-an-airedale-terrier

The Equality Act’s protection against belief discrimination has been used successfully against employers in cases like those of Maya Forstater, Jo Phoenix and Roz Adams. But Allison’s case was the first to use these protections to take action against a service provider in the county court. That makes her win significant. As I explain here, it doesn’t set a legal precedent, but it is the first of its kind and others can point to it:

Fiona McAnena on GB News

Wings Over Scotland has also been successful using the small-claims track to make a claim against an accountant for discriminating against him. We can expect to see more cases of this kind. We’re keeping track of relevant cases.

This week Ben Cooper KC published a comprehensive legal response to those organisations claiming the law is not clear or not yet agreed, or that what matters is guidance issued by the Equality and Human Rights Commission. Ben acted for Sex Matters as an intervenor in the For Women Scotland case, and his contribution was acknowledged by the Supreme Court as having given “focus and structure to the argument that ‘sex’, ‘man’ and ‘woman’ should be given a biological meaning”.

He says duty bearers should not follow encouragement to wait for EHRC guidance.

“All duty bearers should understand the following points:

• The Supreme Court’s decision in FWS as to the meaning of ‘sex’ in the EA 2010 determines what the law is, and always has been.

• It is the Supreme Court, and not the EHRC, that authoritatively determines the law. The EHRC’s role is to provide guidance to assist people to understand and comply with their rights and obligations under the EA 2010; its role is not to determine the law or to interpret the EA 2010.

• Therefore, if a service provider, employer or other duty bearer is currently following policies or practices that, in consequence of the Supreme Court’s decision in FWS, are unlawful under the EA 2010, it will be no defence to any claim against them to say that they are awaiting guidance from the EHRC.”

See below for how you can take action once you know your rights.

Know your rights

Many employers and service providers are still not following the law. New on our website this week, there’s advice on how you can raise this issue with a service provider. We explain the law and the implications of For Women Scotland’s win at the Supreme Court, and provide draft emails for you to adapt and use:

Changing rooms and toilets

The law is different for workplaces and that’s covered separately:

Workplace toilets

It seems that there are still lots of idiots around who are willing to donate money to Jolyon Maughan and the Good Law Project. GLP are taking a judicial review arguing that the interim guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission is unlawful. In this first part of a response to that, Michael Foran on his substack Knowing Ius explains why this challenge is very unlikely to succeed.

The cancel tax

Every time I think I'm out, they pull me back in

Jul 10, 2025

I’ve started calling GC crowdfunders the Cancel Tax.

I’m sorry to ask for it again, so soon after you raised enough money to pay for the Paisley case. You've already done more than enough. You've donated, spoken up, written letters, shown up at meetings, and put your name to things that come with real risk. I resent women having to pay a second tax just to defend their rights, and I don’t like being one of the people with my hand out.

But trans activists, aided by captured law firms and a Stonewall-trained UK police force, keep coming. This time round, I’m being charged with actual crimes by Stonewall-trained UK police. Harassment and criminal damage. I deny both completely. One of the offences? Referring to a male as “he”.

I can’t go into the details yet, but when the full story comes out, I believe people will see what I’ve been up against. And how badly the system is being manipulated.

I want to be clear about something. If I absolutely have to, I’ll pay for this myself. I’ll go into more debt. I’ll work something out. But I’m not a media organisation, or a charity, or a billionaire. I’m a comedy writer who told the truth eight years ago and is still being punished for it.

If you can help me with this this latest attack, I’d be grateful. If you can’t, or if you’ve already given more than you can afford, I understand completely. You've done enough.

Thank you,

Graham

Medical Scandals

Kat Highsmith on her substack looks at the medicalisation and mutilation of confused children in the light of previous medical scandals. What happened to tobacco is a very interesting precedent.

Trans Is Déjà Vu All Over Again

Medical Industry Scandals Happen All the Time

Jul 10, 2025

I know that I’m not the only TERF who hears things like All major medical associations support gender-affirming care! or Doctors have medical degrees and you don’t, so they must know what’s best for their transgender patients!

It must be said that nobody protests based on credentials when someone advocates for the “trans” lie because attorneys like Kate “Chase Strangio” Bachrach or actresses like Ellen “Elliot” Page can get away with it.

Only when someone criticizes the “trans” lie do they get asked if they have medical degrees or science doctorates, and even if they do, evolutionary biologists like Richard Dawkins are told he does not have experience treating patients and psychiatrists like Miriam Grossman are told she does not have scientific research experience.

Major medical associations and doctors have been involved in multiple medical industry scandals before the current “trans” scandal, and examination of those reveals not only how these things happen but also how they end.

Smoking

The results of nationwide surveys of doctors and their smoking preferences used to appear in advertisements for cigarettes in order to advocate for their efficacy and benefits.

In the 1952 R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company ad above, doctors’ preferences for Camels are touted proudly to convince consumers.

This occurred at a time in the United States when nearly half of the country were smokers.

Once it became clear that tobacco companies were falsifying and lying about research regarding risks of cigarette smoking, doctors stopped appearing in ads and the focus went to cartoons like Joe Camel and icons like the Marlboro Man to appeal to customers.

Of course, the tobacco industry was eventually hit by devastating lawsuits and settlements by the 1990s which cost it billions of dollars for the lies it intentionally told about its products, and smoking rates have dropped significantly as cigarette ads have been proscribed.

The Shame Of Pride

On her substack, Kate Deeming looks at scandals involving LGBT Youth Scotland and Pride in Surrey.

The Shame of Pride

When Child Protection is thrown out the window

Jul 10, 2025

……..

THE SHAME OF PRIDE

Here we are at the start of July having made it through the ‘Holy’ Month of Pride. Many have commented that there wasn’t as much a flurry this year…. the notorious LGBT Youth Scotland -whose founder was put in jail for running a paedophile ring -wonders ‘why people are not participating in pride this year’? (it is perhaps worth another post exploring how ‘pride’ once one of the seven deadly sins, has become something to strive for… another day!)

Yes, THAT LGBT Youth Scotland….”HOW DO THEY FIX IT?” Oh the irony….

As if their own history should not be enough of an indication (they never held a public inquiry and the charity continued operating as ‘normal’)…

This month there was another conviction of a Pride activist given carte blanche access to children convicted for multiple offences including the rape of a 12 year old boy.

Dusty - I recently reported on Ireland here: https://dustymasterson.substack.com/p/diamonds-are-forever

Here we see Stephen Ireland with a child in fetish gear. We see Stephen Ireland instructing a ‘young person’ how to prep related to having sex. And we see the badges handed out by his organisation Pride in Surrey ‘You are Safe With Me’.

(And LGBTYS wonders why they are not to be trusted? What happens in these ‘Rainbow clubs’ ???)

It was revealed that in 2021 Pride in Surrey volunteers Marion Harding and her partner had raised concerns about Ireland that were (for all essential purposes)… ignored.

Australia - Witch Hunts

Sandra Pertot on Gender Clinic News reports about how whistleblowers from the gender industry have been witch hunted. The process is the punishment!!

Witch hunt

Clinicians who point out the flaws and dangers of 'gender-affirming care' are hounded and harried

Jul 11, 2025

The purge

The persecution of health professionals who uphold their ethical responsibilities by questioning “gender-affirming care” is unprecedented. The aim of unceasing official complaints is to silence the person, and if that fails, destroy their careers. No evidence-based response to the complaint is acknowledged; the demand is total capitulation. There is no evidence of any similar organised purge of health services in modern times. The words that come to mind are “witch hunt”.

It began with Canadian psychologist Dr Kenneth Zucker, who in 2015 lost his job as the head of a Toronto-based gender identity clinic after false charges of conversion therapy because he used a cautious approach—akin to “watchful waiting”—with gender-questioning young people. Tellingly, it was later found that the complaint against him was based on a lie.

The attacks on health professionals who challenge the use of the gender-affirming model with children and adolescents have continued unabated ever since. In Australia, psychologist Professor Dianna Kenny was one of the first to actively challenge this model, which has led to six complaints against her, from the NSW Health Care Complaints Commission, the Australian Health Practitioner Regulatory Agency, and the ACT Human Rights Commission. Each time she has been able to defend herself and the result was the provision of “advice and no further action,” or the case was discontinued after a council process. The ACT human rights case is still pending; the process is the punishment. Unbowed, she has recently published the book Gender Ideology, Social Contagion and the Making of a Transgender Generation.

Even stating that the fundamental responsibility of every health professional is to conduct a comprehensive assessment to ensure the correct diagnosis is, apparently, transphobic, as I found out when a complaint was made against me to my professional society.

The complainants alleged that I was not practising the “client-led” approach of affirming a person of any age—including a child or adolescent—who says they are trans, and therefore my practice was “unsafe” for these clients. Gender-affirming clinicians seek to sidestep the need for proper assessment by claiming that any co-morbid mental health problems are most likely due to “minority stress”—a reflection of discrimination and social stigma. Trans ideologists insist that health professionals should not be “gatekeepers”, and that even young children should be given any treatment they request.

New Zealand - The Midwifery Council

This substack has been consistently reporting on the attempts by the Midwifery Council to erase words such as ‘woman’, baby’ and ‘breastfeeding.’

The latest report is here:

https://dustymasterson.substack.com/p/arise-go-forth-and-conquer-in-praise-0c1?utm_source=publication-search

On the substack for Mana Wāhine Kōrero, midwife Deb Hayes reminds us of the history and brings us up to date:

The Midwifery Council of New Zealand and their misogynistic ‘journey’: 2nd July, 2025, by Deb Hayes, Midwife.

This month, the Midwifery Council of New Zealand (MC) are expected to release the results of a consultation/survey on their 5^th attempt at a Revised Scope of Practice of a Midwife (SOP), without women and babies in it.

I bet the authors of the original SOP in 2010 didn’t see this travesty coming.

The Health Practioners Competence Assurance Act 2003, (HPCAA) clearly states that a Scope of Practice for professionals must describe the responsibilities of the profession by describing what they do and who they provide care to.

The Midwifery Council (a registered charity) has strayed from the HPCAA rules, finding them superfluous to their requirements, and over at least the last 6 years has made a determined effort to take the words ‘woman/wahine’ and ‘baby/pepi’, ‘mother/mama’ and ‘breastfeeding’ out of the Scope of Practice.

This of course filters down to the Midwifery Bachelor of Science degree, as well as post-grad education, and official documentation from Health NZ.

I do not take pleasure in watching some of my colleagues proudly studying ‘Queering Midwifery’ (courtesy of Otago Polytechnic School of Midwifery) and adding pronouns to their emails, joining the race for the best virtue-signaler.

It’s distressing to witness a rainbow-clad student midwife with a pronoun badge tell a midwife of many years and the mother who was breastfeeding, that the correct word is ‘chestfeeding’.

The total financial cost of the Midwifery Council’s woman-deleting ‘journey’, as they like to call it, is unknown. They have provided no breakdown of costs. They have stated that they have used only ‘their’ money, which they get from our annual practicing fees, and the first and second Scope revisions cost a minimum of $377,000, to gestate. (Per their estimate, discovered via OIA). The time-frame was two years, but we are in fact in at least the sixth year of the process.

The States - Men In Women’s Sports

Following on from the great news about the University of Pennsylvania ( https://dustymasterson.substack.com/p/the-tide-is-turning), Feminist Legal Clinic reports:

Office of Public Affairs | Justice Department Sues California for Violating Title IX, Denying Girls Athletic Opportunities | United States Department of Justice (10 July)

The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division today filed suit to enforce Title IX and protect California female student athletes from unfair competition and reckless endangerment by male participation on female high-school sports teams.

According to the complaint, the California Department of Education (CDE) and the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) have engaged in illegal sex discrimination against female student athletes by allowing males to compete against them, depriving these girls of the equal education and athletic opportunities afforded to them by federal civil rights law. Thus, the suit seeks declaratory, injunctive, and damages relief for violations of Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in any education program or activity that receives federal funding.

Helen Joyce

Very interesting discussion on the podcast for the Macdonald-Laurier Institute in Canada between Peter Copeland and Helen Joyce of Sex Matters: equality law seeing men’s rights and women’s rights as symmetrical was a mistake; having a centralised National Health Service has helped here in taking forward challenges; free speech is essential; two areas where the general public really push back against ‘gender ideology’ are children and sport; ‘gender dysphoria’ is distress and the question is ‘what got them distressed?’; there is the fetishism of adult men; there are girls being ‘taught’ to be ‘gender dysphoric’; trans ideology is totally incoherent.

All thoughts gratefully received.
