All that stuff stuck in the window looks cheap and nasty IMHO. Plus, I don’t want businesses preaching at me, I know my own mind. Though to be fair, it does at least show us who to boycott.
I posted about it on here last year, but but someone I used the services of posted a lot of hateful stuff during Pride month last year on her business page. It’s a pity, I miss her classes, but I can’t support someone telling me I’m a hateful bigot as I don’t believe in gender crap.

An instagram account I bumped into about decentering men which ends up discussing men’s crappy ways has started ranting about terfs and how transwomen are women. I just don’t get it.

There already is a trans jail. It’s the jail appropriate to their biological sex and where you keep them excluded from the other population like they do the child molesters. This shouldn’t be difficult. The judges letting these men off, their hard rives should be checked.

They're too stupid to realise they're breaking the law. One of the comments from the TRAs on their Instagram post says gender critical people need to realise protected characteristics work both ways! Erm we do, that's why we know what discrimination is. They have no self awareness, no understanding of the law and because they've been used to a world of no debate and constant validation they think they're always right. It's a big wake up for them when they realise their virtue signalling nonsense actually has consequences in the real world. The salon owner continues to dig herself a hole even when she is back tracking by comparing Terfs to Nazis and insisting they are kind and inclusive and it's everyone else spreading hate. Her superiority complex has potential to ruin her business. Maybe she should just stick to cutting hair...

The true believer types 1000% believe they are only breaking the law in the same way people who sheltered Jews from the Nazis were breaking the law.

I'd bet salon lady probably has a friend or family member who has a trans child, and has been worn down by the constant guilt-tripping and manipulation of their favoured 'if you're not demonstrating allyship at all times, you're actively doing harm' mantra.

Or alternatively, she's just too stupid to have ever thought it through.

The most annoying thing is that if you look on her website, she refers to her Salon as her Coven, Terfs have far more in common with Witches than the TRA's

Why are cases like this not appealed against

The punishment is non existent for the severity of the crime.

I do feel some of these Judges need a strong whack to the head, as their sense of justice is way off to what the public expects.

Good article

Trans activists and their recurring target: gay people

Time and again the targets of trans activists are gay men and women

They are following the sentencing guidelines so presumably can justify their decisions somehow

I saw a headline on bbc news. Man woman and child fall from a height and die in south London. I don’t have any details, but from experience we know this was, man kills woman and child and then himself. Family annihilators are never acknowledged as they also die.

Sadly, it was indeed a family. A couple and their 9 year old son.

ETA I’m QMLAT but also they have said no reason given thus far.

Apparently the child was severely disabled and treatment stopped, Mother was depressed.
From the article I read it appears as though the child was murdered and Mum and Dad committed suicide.

Sorry, can I just ask what QMLAT means? I’ve tried googling and nothing comes up.

That's heartbreaking if correct.

It won't be the first time such a tragedy has happened. I can remember the mother of a severely cognitively disabled boy jumping off a bridge in front of a train (or it may have been a lorry) IIRC. Her husband had buggered off and she'd been looking after her child alone for years, and wasn't able to get any financial help or any respite care. I don't think she had any family to help ease her burden, either.

Some people lead such desperate lives, and all out of public view.

Quoting Myself Like A [pick a word beginning with T]. On the Jack Monroe thread it's often QMLAN (ninny) or QMLAC (c word).

Help us to stop abusive police searching policies

Sex Matters is seeking a judicial review of guidance on searching from the National Police Chiefs’ Council and British Transport Police.

sex-matters.org

Sex Matters is in court seeking a judicial review against the ridiculous way that the Police are attempting to circumvent the clear SC ruling. The worst aspect being the suggestion that a police officer might be asked to strip search a trans identifying person of the opposite biological sex but that they would not face any detriment if they declined to do so. As if that will work in reality when a junior female officer is asked by a senior lawyer if she 'doesn't mind' conducting the search. Very hard, if not impossible, for the junior officer to refuse.

DNK is a delight!

So intelligent and incisive.

How did this shower of ars£holes ever get into positions of power?

As witty as DNK's precis is, it is also incredibly depressing isn't it? These are the people in charge of passing legislation and yet they are (excluding Rosie and Rebecca obvs) clearly sharing a single, highly defective braincell. An appalling state of affairs for us women in this instance, but the whole country in general.
