Kindly scrutinize
Yes please do look into that.
Britain’s leading equalities watchdog has been urged to scrutinise the appointment of a trans woman as head of a Scottish rape crisis centre after a legal ruling over the definition of “what it is to be a woman”.
It never should have happened in the first place. Of all the ways to insult and shame and intimidate women, putting a man in charge of a rape crisis center is a real standout.
You want to know why? Apart from the obvious? Men who call themselves women don’t like women. Most of them seem to hate us. It’s a massive mistake to think that because they call themselves women therefore they feel friendly toward women and are in solidarity with women. On the contrary – they resent us and want us to get out of their way. It’s like ordinary unthinking male superiority but with added envy and venom.
Feminist campaign groups want the Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) to examine the appointment of Mridul Wadhwa as chief executive of Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre, a position that was advertised as open to women only.
Appeal judges at the Court of Session ruled last week that an attempt by the Scottish government to expand the definition of “woman” to include trans women breached equality law. A 2021 ruling had backed the government, but appeal court judges ruled that the definition in the Gender Representation on Public Boards (Scotland) Act 2018 could only cover biological women.
Imagine attempting to “expand the definition of black people to include white people.” It makes just as much sense.
” Men who call themselves women don’t like women. Most of them seem to hate us.”
I honestly don’t believe this to be the case. I’ve known a handful of transwoman, and never once encountered the hatred of women you document on this site. Rather, I suspect that there’s an incredibly vocal online contingent of TRAs who ooze misogyny from every pore–and I dare say most of them are not even trans themselves, but rather are men using their “allyship” as a cover to express their hatred of women.
Fair enough. I could get a wrong impression via the internet brand of trans women.
Transwomen, now in two great flavors: internet brand, and non-internet brand!
Further to Freemage, it’s the A in TRA that makes the difference. Initially standing for activist, it could easily be replaced with arsehole with no loss of meaning. The non-activists among the trans population may also be arseholes, but the role of trans activism seems to preferentially select for that subset of the population.
