What good news to hear that a GC woman has got onto a position where she’s at meetings and being ‘transphobic’ - i.e. not talking nonsense.

Thanks Dusty, great work as ever. The Ireland episode is horrendous but when you understand Queer Theory, it doesn’t come as a surprise at all. I really wish more people would investigate, it would explain such a lot and would probably stop everything in its tracks. Just imagine if the BBC had been doing it’s job in exposing the dark background to gender ideology.

Looking forward to the wonderful KJK and Mr Menno later, my bedtime ‘reading’.

Great update thanks Dusty :)

I think sports (and the Olympics in particular) seems to be what gets through to the average person the most when it comes to recognising the madness that gender identity ideology causes, so the Olympic Committee's presidential vote in a couple of days could prove to be significant!

I notice the IOC has just given World Boxing provisional recognition as the governing body for that sport, so if this decision is given final approval then boxing will likely keep its place as Olympic event at Los Angeles 2028. The question will then be whether World Boxing keeps the IOC's "female-on-his-passport" policy for its female categories!

This article reports the out-going president's position on this:

It's also of note that boxing's previous governing body (and President Thomas Bach's nemesis 😄), the International Boxing Association, recently announced that they are going to take legal action against the IOC for allowing male boxers to participate in the Paris 2024 Olympics.

I haven't seen this being covered in the mainstream media so it will be something to keep an eye on!

That’s great news Becca🤞the IOC appoints someone sane.

Thanks for the synopsis of that awful meeting. What on earth has happened to the NHS….and everywhere else. I read somewhere about a GP who was beginning to see awful side effects, particularly of females on testosterone. We need more of them to speak out.

Thanks TT. I totally agree, we need the people who are currently keeping their concerns to themselves to start speaking out before there can be any meaningful, lasting change. So many workplace policies are still in the hands of reality-denying ideologues. The return to reality is proving to be a longer road than I thought it would be!

As Becca says, a key element is men in women’s sports. What peaked America, according to Peter Boghossian, was the damage being done to girls’ sports & the drag queens reading to children. It’s just creepy. The NHS is a complete basket case; the sooner the troons are got rid of, the better, except for the religion of DEI weaving its nasty tentacles everywhere.

Thanks for a great update, Dusty. #BeMorePorcupine #WesStreetingIsAWuss

You're welcome, Liz.

Yes men in women's sport is just unarguable on any level!! The loons just say 'they are women' and we say ' well, no they're not but even if we suspend our disbelief for a moment, they have the power, strength and speed of men'. Sharron Davies has written a whole book about it!! Unfair Play.

That ad was great: 'Kamala Harris is for they/them, and Donald Trump is for us.' Even for the be kind brigade, non-binary may be a step too far 😂

We so need to get rid of DEI!!!!!

Like the hashtag 😃 Come on, Wes, MAN UP!!

I started watching the NHS LGBT History month video. How many NHS working hours are taken up by this? I googled Charles Hancock. This isn't the first time that history presentation has been presented. Does Charles get any NHS work done? No wonder the NHS is on its knees when NHS workers are spending their time doing this crap.

Thanks very much for this great detail, Barri.

They so need to get all of this out of the NHS. Start with the DEI hires!!

EDI Jester did a recent series on this in case you didn't catch it.
