I am old and ugly enough to know male violence when I see it. So forget your slogans and your mantras or your inner spiritual gendered essence. I don’t have one as I am non-binary because I don’t accept that gender IS a binary. Anyway, as Tom Hanks didn’t say, my Mars is in its own house Aries, so back the fuck off.
Silence is lucrative but I will not be silent about men trying to stop women meeting, speaking, and thinking. I am so sick of the DMs and emails from those that support my stance in private but don’t want to get involved in the whole ‘gender thing’.
Cos it’s icky and they want to sell their books and to be forever likeable. Anyway, all these scaredy-cats don’t have a problem with trans people. Nor do I actually. Do they care at all about women, about girls though?
It's clear a lot of them don’t. For years this progressive misogyny has festered. In the name of “trans rights” you can now abuse women in public. You can wish them dead, call them fossils and dinosaurs and hope your Mum has something nice in the oven when you get home.
These two -bit radicals are full of rage at women. Some of them even are women and they just want to be “inclusive”. Some wag on Twitter called them the Butler Youth but that is unfair, even to her. They haven’t read Butler because even those paid to read her know it’s like chewing glass and when you get to the nitty gritty, it isn’t all that. Rupaul said it in a sentence “Honey we are born naked, the rest is drag”.
The Butler youth simply chant the mantras. Their enemy are not those who harm and threaten trans people ie. violent men . No, their enemy is women. Women who think, who drink even (!) and who want to meet in single sex spaces. Or now any space at all. We are to be stopped . Raped. Threatened. Destroyed.
Liberals sit on the fence doing the old “but there are extremists on both sides argument”. Really?
So, in the past few weeks while evidence mounts up that puberty blockers and surgery for young kids is not a panacea, that the Tavistock is at the centre of a medical scandal – see Janice Turner’s brilliant report in The Times:
that even America is waking up to the harm being done in the name of “gender identity”, when various Sporting bodies are starting to realise that lowering testosterone is not enough to make it fair for biological men to compete against biological women, when more and more detransitioners speak out about how unhappy they are, when sane individuals ask if it is right to medicalise and sterilise a generation of gay girls , something is shifting.
All those who stood by and watched this happen or promoted it are nervy. When people are nervy, violence happens. Every survivor knows this deep down. Now we see that the so-called trans activists are raging.
They are desperate.
Recently I organised a dinner for JK Rowling’s charity Lumos. It started as a joke. The impossibly pompous fox -killer lawyer had said on Twitter that mere mortals could have dinner with him and wines from his cellar for £600 or so . I tweeted that people could have gin in a tin with me in the park for much less.
Lovely James Chiavarini who runs the brilliant Italian family restaurant Il Portico, messaged me and said “we can do better than that” and thus we hatched a plan for a dinner and an auction.
Lumos had already been working in Ukraine and are well placed to cope with all the extra problems that the many children in institutions have there. It was a real issue before the war and now is even more difficult.
James and his staff provided a wonderful four course dinner and I nabbed prizes off all kinds of people : Nick Cave, Gary Lineker, Philippa Perry ,Andrew Marr , Sharron Davies, Rose Prince , Prof Brian Cox, Dominic Cummings among others, to be auctioned. Good fun was had by all. Much wine was drunk, and money spent. Simon Fanshawe OBE, one of the original founders of Stonewall was a great auctioneer.
Rowling’s name and mine though obviously to a much smaller extent, meant that James’ restaurant started getting abuse online and shitty reviews. A few days later the windows were smashed in, and the place ransacked. This could have been unconnected, but all the threats were about what he had coming to him hosting “transphobes”. This was a dinner to raise money for Ukrainian children. It was horrible and I was really sad that this happened .
The only good thing was that most people were appalled and more donations came in and we ended up making about £20,000 and lots of people got to know about his lovely restaurant.
This weekend a group of gender critical women met. I wasn’t there but glanced at Twitter and could see that some bloke was complaining to the venue. Basically they want the venue to ban groups of the wrong kind of women meeting. The venue is duly toeing the line for now and will respond officially later. They should not forget the Equality Act when they do so.
This is all insane. Women’s Place meeting already have massive security. Can we now not go to pubs if we don’t submit to the delusion that biology is not real? Any woman could be accused of “targeting hate”? What?
Any women who doesn’t go along with the cult is already de-platformed. I think I have been picketed a couple of times but as I never go to the office, I didn’t notice and just got told about it after. These TRAs are not the sharpest knives in the cutlery drawer, they are not even spoons, let’s put it that way.
Today in Bristol at another event, TRAs in shades and back masks , half-arsed ninjas are out screaming at women. Here is a clip.
As I have said before I am not keen on Posie Parker who was speaking at this rally, but there are a lot of people who meet and discuss things I am not keen on.
What I am keen on is that women have space ,free of male violence. Please don’t tell me that these angry men /Black Pampers care about trans rights . What they care about is shutting women up. They want to intimidate us and guess what it works because I see all the liberals who sit on the fence, who don’t want to get involved.
Well, you are part of it. Own it. Own your cowardice. Tell me is this the right side of history? Do you walk past women getting attacked in the street?
We see you and we won’t forget those who looked the other way.
Believe me.
I am not Teflon .At all . I was utterly defeated and depressed when they smashed up James lovely place (Il Portico in Kensington). Please go and you will be so well looked after whoever and whatever you are . James and his family are just wonderful hosts and the food is fabulous. We hadn't even had the dinner at Il Portico but at his smaller sister restaurant Pino. I kept it all quiet, there was security and I felt really happy that we had raised so much money and then this? Had a couple of duvet days, withdrew. Then recharged .
Thank you thank you for your rage, Suzanne. Yes there are people out there we don't agree with - so what? There is nothing ambiguous about the 'right side of history' on the basics: everyone has freedom to think and say whatever they want. And the misogyny in the picketing, the sneaking to employers, the reporting-the-venue etc is so blooming obvious, there is NO excuse for those who sit on the fence to avoid getting some hassle themselves. We see you.
