I've suffered 20 years of hell fighting to prove trans women aren't women & now I'm backed by the law - today, women won

1 week ago | thesun.co.uk | Julie Bindel

TODAY, women won. To establish something everyone has known all along, and the great detriment of the years of activism, trial and error, torment and harassment many of us have faced for daring to demand women only spaces, and for refusing to accept that men can be legally considered to be a subset of women, as and when they fancy identifying as one. I have had more than 20 years of hell from gender activists, since I dared to speak out about this in 2004.

The UK's 'grooming gang' scandal is about race, class and misogyny

Journalist, author and feminist campaigner "My daughter is being gang raped and sold to countless men." These were the words, spoken by a heartbroken mother, that first alerted me to the organised rape and pimping gangs - now commonly referred to as "grooming gangs" - targeting young girls in the north of England. It was the late 1990s and, knowing that I was a campaigner against child sexual exploitation, some of the mothers of these girls had reached out to me. They were desperate for help.

The idiocy of Stonewall

Just for a laugh, I asked AI to transcribe five minutes of the interview of Ian Anderson by Beth Rigby, Sky News, 22nd July, 2023In context, Stonewall, in March, 2023 made this statement:We stand with trans people who now have the door closed on their chance to compete in athletic sports at an international level. BR: This is an image we've seen a lot of recent, it's a podium with a trans woman coming first and a biological women coming second and third. Do you think that's fair, Ian?

Why we still love Pizza Express

How’s this for a bargain? A Pizza Express margherita for only 33p, if you dine in and order between 5 and 6 p.m. tomorrow, to celebrate 60 years of the chain. ‘In 1965 we brought proper pizza to the UK, and what better way to mark those 60 years than with 60 minutes of our original pizzas at their original prices,’ reads the promotion. I love Pizza Express. I don’t often go there, but I’ve never had a bad time in the place.

MacKinnonBelow is part of a 2003 review by Andrea Dworkin of Amy Bloom’s 2002 book ‘Normal: Transsexual CEOs, Crossdressing Cops, and Hermaphrodites with Attitude.’ It appeared in the ‘New Statesman’ under the title “Out of the Closet,” published on September 22, 2003.
