Another stunning update Dusty, thank you. In particular, the two videos…..Germany’s shame and New Zealand’s shame, both incredibly chilling to see.
Sorry to be depressing but I’m not sure that we’re making much progress. It’s true that more people are aware of the issues but hardly anyone seems to care enough or think that it’s important enough to say anything. I can only think that it’s because it’s mainly women and children who are affected. For example, the James Esses piece. Normally Matt Goodwin gets loads of comments on the substack but the Esses piece was really slow with a comment towards the end which suggested that James needed to check his facts and stop being hyperbolic. And all the while the ideology is becoming more deeply embedded and people are just accepting it as part of everyday life. Sorry again! 😁
I think that is a very important point. Barry Wall often bemoans the failure of gay men to come forward ( with the honourable exceptions we know and love). There is even more of a failure with straight men. If you think of a prominent straight man in the fight you come up with ...Glinner! My male friends listen to me and are even sympathetic but don't join me on the front line!
However I always like to have a plan 😀
I shall ponder this and do a piece in the next update to try and get a discussion going.
Please don’t think I’m having a go at men, there are loads of good ones in this fight including you. I’m more angry at the women, not just the handmaidens but the ones who can’t be bothered and just stick their heads in the sand… like many of my so called friends. Women should know better because we have to live with the consequences and we tend to be the ones who look after the young. And I don’t care if some people think that’s sexist, it’s just a biological fact.
I know you are not having a go at all men, TT😀 but a lot of the Terf Resistance is led by both straight and lesbian women ( and bisexual women before they have a go at me😀 ). I think if you talk to the man ( or woman) on the Clapham Omnibus and explain it all to them they are more likely to be on our side but it is getting people to step forward.
My pondering continues!!😃 or 'mulling' as EDI calls it 😃

Now you’re going to tell me to be more KJK # WeNeverLose. 😆 and you’d be right!
You're welcome, TT.

And loads of the men my husband talks to are fully on board and are as angry as us.

True.
I’ll await the results of a good mull then. 😁
