Let me save you time: there is no defense of Beth Upton.
So here it is. In all its glory. How to create a hostile environment for gender critical staff and end up in employment tribunal. whatdotheyknow.com/request/line_m…
Just imagining the scenes when new patients arrive at A&E departments run by NHS Fife. No one able to tell what sex they are or how they should be treated.
It appears to now be considered safe by some previously totally silent Labour women MPs to tweet about upholding the Supreme Court ruling. Where have they been though, for all the years when we needed to hear from them? Excuse me if I decline to open the Champagne. #Cowards
However, Dr Searle's a doctor, which makes her automatically trustworthy, the same way her male colleague, Dr Upton, became automatically trustworthy in the female changing rooms the moment he said he was a woman. #IStandWithSadiePeggie 3/X
'I don't think you can prove it' is one hell of a way to deny withholding information from a tribunal. 2/3
Just another day of lunacy in the Scottish courts. Dr Kate Searle, a consultant in emergency medicine, says she knows she's female because it says so on her birth certificate, but she personally isn't an expert on recognising a baby's sex. 1/3
Sandie Peggie’s legal team has accused a group of senior doctors of defying a legal order in a bid to conceal alleged wrongdoing 👇
Not dystopia. Just a world where academics abandoned teaching rigour, science, fact and truth. Okay.... maybe you are right. A dystopia in which idiocy reigns.
Why are we living in a world that doctors say this sort of foolishness? Are we in a dystopian alternate universe??
Obligatory second punt for this! Thanks to all readers and new subscribers! Much appreciated xxx
I wrote about why, with the Peggie case, I feel more hope than I ever have that I might live long enough to see the end of the 'gender wars.' On the importance of living in truth & related matters. Enjoy! Statues, as ever, to all paid subscribers! Link in bio/ comments. xx
This is where trans ideology takes us – grown, professional people pretending to believe all sorts of nonsense they know are nonsense but must be said with apparent conviction in order to placate the Allies.
She cannot really truly believe what she is saying. I don’t buy it. I really don’t.
NYC-ACC kill lists now called "Emergency Placement". Shelter stress makes adoptions/fosters URGENT: tinyurl.com/EMERG-ACC Others here: tinyurl.com/FBK-ACC OR shelters near you. They are in this mess because of us. #Adopt #foster any animal(s) you can. Thank you & go #vegan.
Two years ago, @johnmaier_ and I helped write and organise an open letter defending @Docstockk’s right to speak at the Oxford Union. It was signed by 40+ Oxford academics, including more than a dozen philosophers (the most well-represented group). bbc.com/news/uk-656205…
No-one has done more to hold régime philosophers to account than Kathleen, as is attested by the huge amount of vilification she’s had to endure Hey does anyone remember ‘non-consensual co-platforming’
I have for most of my adult life been involved in social/political movements either as a participant or as a lawyer who has advised participants. The one thing that I can say with confidence is that in every situation in which I have been involved, ad hominem discourse, or what…
I would strongly urge those of you who reject trans ideology that you not make fun of the way people look. The issue is that they are males seeking to redefine "woman" to eliminate women as a sex class, and their abrogation/appropriation of women's rights. That's the problem.
We welcome the Govt’s choice of Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson for the next Chair of @EHRC We are disappointed to hear that @CommonsWEC & @HumanRightsCtte are not endorsing Dr Stephenson & we have written to @bphillipsonMP to express our support for Mary-Ann. 🔗filia.org.uk/latest-news/20…
