Thanks Dusty. I think the Bar Standards people should be investigating Robin Moria White for bringing the profession into disrepute for his comments about breaking the law. Also how delicious that it was a radio show so we all got to hear his very manly deep voice booming out - although I couldn’t bring myself to listen to all of his segment.
Helen Joyce was amazing, so measured, calm in the face of hostile questions.
I agree he should be reported to the Bar Standards. Outrageous that a barrister should advocate defiance of a Supreme Court judgment!
Yes, although it was extremely annoying to listen to, I agree that was made a bit easier by enjoying the sound of an obvious man coming out with the claptrap. Stunning and Dave, as KJK says!
Thanks, Dusty, as ever. Robin White is an example of the homophobic gay man, hating women for being able to have "proper sex" with men. Sarah Phillimore posted some excerpts from his blog where he wrote - just prior to being turned into a eunuchs - about how he regularly ogled "fit" soldiers on the train to Salisbury, and then fantasised about specific ones later. He was convinced that once he was available for "proper sex", the soldiers would come flocking to him...
Regarding unions, the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) is the latest to be clown itself, claiming, amongst other things, that "gender-based violence" is a major risk in our society. I bet they aren't referring to the threats of physical harm women (and some men) get from trans ideologues.
Robin White’s deep voice drips with male entitlement; his assertion that self-identified gender should be the primary concern of the law, ignoring sex differences as piffling trifles beneath his notice. A smug, arrogant narcissist who masks his paraphilia under the cloak of human rights. Ugh! He gives me the creeps. #RobinWhiteIsAWuss #NoMenInOurLoos Women’s Hour is really #MensHour
I thought Helen Joyce did a marvellous job debunking the puerile questions put to her in that interview. Way to go, Helen!
As a retired teacher I condemn utterly the NEU’s stance on this issue. The vast majority of its members are women; do they really agree with this?
Thanks for bringing these to our attention, Dusty. #BeMorePorcupine
There were no questions aimed at how should organisations now go about complying with the judgment. What about sports etc No mention of the FA or the EWCB etc Helen did manage to shoehorn in mention of Wetherspoons who have done a 180!
I thought the NEU might especially annoy you, Liz (and TT).
I saw a post by Elaine Miller on Twitter/X pointing to an article in the Telegraph in which the RCN have said that hospitals are acting unlawfullyin not having single-sex spaces. This is a big change in direction for them, and I think creation of the Darlington Nurses Union has more than a little to do with it. Whatever the reason, this is the first major union to respond appropriately to the Supreme Court decision, for which I'm very happy.
Lefty men in Unions have a history of ignoring women’s rights, it’s always been ‘we’ll get to that once we’ve sorted out the important stuff.’ So it’s no surprise that they’re still riddled with misogynists. Time the women started shouting about it. The law has our backs now.
Excellent, well done, Jeremy. As you will have see I have cross posted.
If you look at my very early posts you will see me crashing around in the jungle not knowing what direction I was going in. Eventually I found a direction ( I hope!!!!). You'll get your bearings. 😄
Thank you! I think only very organised people can start with anything more than "let's enjoy the ride!". I confess that what I expect the first real post to be is nothing like the idea I had in my head a couple of months ago. It needs introducing very carefully, because it is a response to a request for how I would make better case for trans than the trans ideologues do! Sometimes, I should think twice before pressing "Send" on Twitter posts! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

You're welcome, Barbara.

And yes, agreed, great interview by Helen.

Interesting about Robin White! As a barrister he really is in Jolyon Maugham territory!!
Thanks for info re FBU!!!!!
More court cases required unfortunately!!

Yes White is so awful! Great job, Helen.

Maybe new unions need to be formed!!!???
Good hashtags!
Dusty
If I was younger I’d start the Real Women’s Union of Teachers (RUWT) & state that women’s rights are protected by the law. #RUWTForSafeLoos
😃
The Darlington Nurses have started their own union, of course 😊

About time too!!
Dusty
This is what is needed now - a break away from the established order.
Well said Liz.
Lefty men in Unions have a history of ignoring women’s rights, it’s always been ‘we’ll get to that once we’ve sorted out the important stuff.’ So it’s no surprise that they’re still riddled with misogynists. Time the women started shouting about it. The law has our backs now.
Yes come on the women trade unionists!! You have the Supreme Court on your side!

I've taken the leap! https://open.substack.com/pub/jeremywickins/p/well-here-goes. Nothing of substance, just getting used to the interface.

Oh boy, I don't think I would have undertaken that as my first post!!!!!!!
I'd be inclined to skip that one!!
BTW get yourself on the Substack App because that will increase your visibility.

Thanks. I have the app on my Android devices.
