That’s a great picture of Jo!
It is, but I'm less enamoured of the immediate visual effect of a massive TOXIC headline next to her face - it implies that it's Jo who's toxic, not the Greens.That’s a great picture of Jo!
I wish they’d elaborate on exactly how what JKR has said ‘puts trans lives at risk’. She’s advocating for women. The rest is incidental. It’s the same as when TRA’s say that she’s said trans people ‘shouldn’t exist’ (which she hasn’t). I know she wrote about wizards, but I didn’t realise she was so powerful that she can literally write a whole section of the population out of existence.
He’s not a woman if he has a pen.![]()

Interesting headline considering the article also contains the information below. Even the reporter couldn’t carry on in the same vein as the first bit and describes it as ‘a pen’ and ‘the pen’ instead of ‘her pen’. Women have penises too, bigot!

Exactly! That’s grossly irresponsible. Same as f-ing Twitter, who always likes to highlight a row involving JKR by painting her as the villain.It is, but I'm less enamoured of the immediate visual effect of a massive TOXIC headline next to her face - it implies that it's Jo who's toxic, not the Greens.
I know this is a flippant comment but they've got a fair few MSPs in the Scottish Parliament and in cahoots with the SNP, which is a concern because they'll have a say over the legislation that gets put through. They are in favour of self ID which is probably no surprise. I don't live in Scotland now but I know there's quite a few Scottish people in this thread who can expand on this!Scottish greenssound like a salad from Marks & Spencer’s.
Who the duck are they anyway? How many MPs have the greens got in the uk? One?
Probably scared to not tow the party line more than anything.I used to be friends with Lorna Slater, to the extent that she and her husband have stayed at my house - either she has changed considerably since going into politics or I was massively deceived about who she really is as a person. It's very sad, she used to be so pro-women's rights.
this is what i have always said and will continue to advocate for.Part of what peaked me was that absolutely NO allowances are made for women who genuinely have no problem with trans people in general but don't want male bodies in their safe spaces, yet everyone else in society is being asked to bend over backward to accommodate every ask of the trans community. There is absolutely no give and take.
It doesn't. And I am so sorry you had to go through all that, it must have been very traumatic.this is what i have always said and will continue to advocate for.
as a survivor of multiple SA incidents i have seen how important it is to keep women spaces for women
i went to swim after r*** once and was changing in womens changing room when i heard a mans voice
i froze
it was a trans woman
apparently me, a r*** survivor (a knife was pulled on me etc and i got it off the 5 men) is not allowed to ask for changing rooms to be for women only
in that same pool my stalker turned up while i was swimming so i went to changing rooms and told a fellow woman what was happening who helped me out
he got aggressive stangled me and punched me in the ribs at a pub where we were trying to alert security and get help
if he had been allowed in the womens changing room i would feel dramatically more unsafe
i support trans women, always.
i also support saving womens spaces and keeping them for women.
Why does that make me a bad person?
Unfortunately it does happen more than you’d think. I’m a tall woman and follow a couple of pages which I joined mainly for info on where to buy clothes with adequate length (seems to be a challenge everywhere unfortunately) and it’s regularly reported as a problem, particularly in the US for some reason. I suspect some of it is due to people not paying attention and just seeing a 6’+ person and assuming male and the fact that it can be difficult to buy some items long enough so we’ll often be wearing, for example, a man’s coat. I’ve personally not experienced it in the UK but did when I was travelling in India and it’s not very nice.From the file of Things that Didn't Happen
"My very tall friend was accused last night of using the wrong toilet, because she supposedly didn’t look like a woman, with “fake boobs” etc. This was in a restaurant in St Andrews, Scotland. My friend isn’t trans. The woman accusing her was in the ladies toilet with her young child. My friend was stunned, and shocked, and really didn’t know how to react. She wishes after that she’d spoken up for trans rights on the spot more than anything else.
I’m afraid I do know transphobes, generally older women. Who won’t admit they are transphobic, but are basically TERFs. Sadly there are a lot of them out there, especially per surveys in the older generations. It’s not just about those who shout the loudest."
I can’t see the tweet? The profile is locked.There’s the creep who threw the milkshake at Belstaffie. Looks to me like he’s getting a chubby on at being violent to women.
He was wearing a skirt you could clearly see a bulge in. vileI can’t see the tweet? The profile is locked.
Surely you’d just say “I’m a woman.” When I had short hair I was sometimes mistaken for a bloke in the ladies loo. As soon as I opened my mouth to say I wasn’t, it was blatantly obvious from my voice and mannerisms that I was a woman. End of story. Nobody shocked or stunned. Nobody invalidated or erased. Easy.“My friend was stunned, and shocked, and really didn’t know how to react”
In most cases that would sort things however the situation I mentioned earlier in India had the added issue of a language barrier and cultural differences maybe. They definitely weren’t happy I was entering a women’s only area and shouted at me until I left. I suspect it’s relatively rare though and thankfully it’s the only time I’ve had a proper issue but It was very upsetting. No idea if the original post is true, made up or exaggerated for effect to emphasis a point the author wants to make though.Surely you’d just say “I’m a woman.” When I had short hair I was sometimes mistaken for a bloke in the ladies loo.
