Women may not have anything for women. Women may not defend the rights of women. Women may not tell the truth about who is a woman. Women must sit down and shut up. The Great Western Railway says so.

The website of a gender-critical group was blocked on a train’s Wi-Fi network for being linked to “terrorism and hate”, it has emerged.

Sex Matters, which campaigns against the adoption of gender ideology and argues that biological sex is a reality, had its web page blocked by Great Western Railway.

Those attempting to access the site, which raises concerns about gender reassignment surgery as well as about men in women’s prisons, hospital wards and sporting events, received a message that stated: “The domain is blocked by GWR because it’s associated with the terrorism and hate category.”

Is it now. What a very strategic use of the passive voice. Associated with the terrorism and hate category by whom? One green-haired activist in Stoke Newington? And associated with in what sense? Just in the sense that the green-haired activist says so?

Ah well, you can’t be too careful, can you.

    There’s some truth that it’s associated with terror and hate; after all, the gender terrorists certainly do spill a lot of hate on it!

    Why can’t people see that the “terror and hate” are all coming from the other side? Yes, there are some religious right who say actual hateful things about trans, but so far, the only “terror” even they have committed is to ban them from opposite sex bathrooms. Hardly terror.

    Kara Dansky has an excellent column today about feminists working with right-wing organizations, and the disagreements about doing so.

    Jim, don’t forget the USA,. And what the trans brigade are also.forgetting is that once the strange bedfellows had achieved their joint goals they went their separate ways and back to ‘business as usual’.
