dera calla

A 'trans woman' who is a former Metropolitan Police special constable has been jailed for 24 years for raping a child. This feels like quite big news but only one story has featured in BBC News' 'LGBT' or 'Transgender People' sections in the last 24 hours, and it's this one

I think Willoughby's appearance on WH, with his revolting sexist ideas straight from the 1950s, was a turning point for many of us. He was especially annoyed by Jenni's mild truth that he'd not been at this woman thing for very long. If BBC hadn't gagged her after this, maybe we'd have dealt with trans activism sooner!

@Sargon_of_Akkad The face of a man terrified to be revealed as absolutely out of his depth, with no relevant education, experience, or concept of the matter at hand, facing exposure as a charlatan by having an expert interlocutor.

This is Zack Polanski's expression as he's told that women have different biology to men. 😂

@michaelpforan @MForstater It's not 'trans inclusion'. The aim isn't to exclude 'trans' people. It's to ensure where single sex spaces are provided that they actually are single sex.

The Legal fight over trans inclusion at Hampstead Heath continues. Here I provide an overview of the case so far and explain why Sex Matters can have standing to bring judicial reviews in cases relating to sex and gender when the Good Law Project doesn't knowingius.org/p/sex-matters-…

“The error that the High Court made, in my view, was in presuming that Sex Matters was in a similar situation as the Good Law Project.” And we have worked very hard to secure this distinction. @SexMattersOrg

@ripx4nutmeg W H are beyond parody. You couldn't make this up. No one I know has listened to this programme for years. No wonder.

Woman's Hour on BBC Radio 4 has discussed 'toxic masculinity' against the backdrop of Louis Theroux's Netflix documentary Manosphere with ... a cross-dressing man who talked about the 'misogyny' he experiences

@ripx4nutmeg @BBCWomansHour This is truly pathetic and, indeed, misogynistic.

@ripx4nutmeg The ultimate example of misogyny @BBCWomansHour - you just can't help yourselves. How on earth can a man ever experience misogyny? Perhaps you need to revisit the definition?

@ripx4nutmeg This has got to be rage bait for engagement? Surely??? You couldn't make it up it's so ridiculous!

@ripx4nutmeg By definition a cross dressing MAN cannot have ever experienced misogyny. So sick of this BS by 'woman's hour'. Why didn't they ask an ACTUAL REAL WOMAN?

@ripx4nutmeg @JournalistJill Written by handmaids, produced by handmaids, and delivered by handmaids. Transvestites hour more like.

@ripx4nutmeg I was only half listening, could barely believe what I was hearing. Now looking at pics of the ugly old guy talking about being harassed as a woman, can still scarcely believe @BBCWomansHour @BBCNuala would insult their audience like this, while enabling a male fetish.

@ripx4nutmeg @BBCWomansHour Why don't you just rename yourselves 'Penis Hour' and have done with it.

@ripx4nutmeg @MrsKrabapple Absolutely despair about @BBCWomansHour. Just can't help themselves centring & giving voice to the demands of men. Has anyone kept a record of the number of times they've done it so far this year?

@ripx4nutmeg @JournalistJill Wake up @BBCWomansHour, Women are not frocks. Misogyny is hate of WOMEN because of our sex. Why would you ever platform a man in offensive, insulting and derogatory womanface?! Change you name to misogynistic man's hour! #WomenAreNotMannequins womensdeclarationusa.com/black-womens-c…

@ripx4nutmeg @BBCWomansHour This guest is 82 and only transitioned late in life. In other words he lived the majority of his long life as a man. Could the BBC really not have found an elderly woman who has experienced misogyny for decades and who could speak about how it has changed?

@ripx4nutmeg @thespiralquirk Yep. And it was *immediately* obvious. Also: did anyone notice how many times @BBCNuala interrupted the *actual* woman she had on? Compared with the man? Because *even she knows who the men are* & can’t get her tongue any further up their arses.
