Interview with Jenny Lindsay about the abuse and cancellation she has suffered for standing up for women's sex based rights and spaces. But whose experience has been dismissed by Prof D as not real, or perhaps real but he's too much of a coward to actually speak up for her in case he might get a wee pile on on a moderated board.

And irrelevant by bluehillside because anyone who says they are a woman is a woman because of some mystical soul like thing.

It was quite nice to see Outrider accept that sport can sometimes be necessarily sex based but I've not seen that accepted for changing rooms or prisons.

And it's not just misogynist, it's deeply homophobic because it attacks lesbians for wanting same sex spaces - but hey, it's 'progressive'.


The board has a number of 'progressive' men who are happy to give up the rights women fought for to accommodate men who say they are women, who dismiss rape victims experiences as less than some people arguing against them on a message board, who lack either the courage or the principled to agree that what has happened to Lindsay is wrong.

That's right NS. What we need in this debate is more demonisation.

Yeah, you're probably right. I posted in anger after reading the interview, and I was aiming to be provocative because of it. It's difficult to avoid when I know so many woman affected by this.

Rapist who pretends to be a woman defends man pretending to be a woman being in charge of Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre. It would be like satire, if it wasn't so utterly sad and depressing.

Those not on X may have missed Alastair Campbell mansplaining to JK Rowling on how she should behave despite admitting his lack of knowledge but here's Victoria Smith on it.

I agree but then it's just like this is lifelong irreversible harm.

I entirely agree - the evidence shows that evil has infiltrated to the highest levels in our society.
But none of this would have happened if the powers that be had followed the teachings of the gospels,

And yet many who believe that were following the teachings of the Gospels have done what you think is evel. You are claiming your interpretation to be true but so are they. It's in the end merely subjective opinion.

There is a worrying trend to try to reinterpret the gospel message to fit in with current popular opinion.
Jesus did not pander to popular opinion when he gave his teachings - quite the opposite in fact.
But now we see the teachings of the Gospels being watered down, even by church hierarchy, to make them more popular - sadly to the detriment of our souls

Yes, that's just you claiming you are right because you think you are right.

The utter confusion in this article where it switches between gender and sex and what it means is part of the problem. The BBC are unable to report coherently on this.
