You lose a lot, you win some.

Except in America.

Wait, no – we won the abortion thing.

We could well be entering into a new era of winning.

The Guardian:

A researcher who lost her job at a thinktank after tweeting that transgender women could not change their biological sex has won her claim that she was unfairly discriminated against because of her gender-critical beliefs.

Maya Forstater suffered direct discrimination when the Centre for Global Development (CGD), where she was a visiting fellow, did not renew her contract or fellowship, an employment tribunal found on Wednesday.

Hmm…

The tribunal also ruled that Forstater, the executive director of Sex Matters, suffered victimisation with respect to the removal of her profile from CGD’s website.

Its decision comes after Forstater successfully brought a test case to establish that gender-critical views are a protected philosophical belief under the Equality Act. She initially lost that case at an employment tribunal in 2019 but won a landmark decision on appeal last year, with the judge stressing that while gender-critical views might be “profoundly offensive and even distressing to many others … they are beliefs that are and must be tolerated in a pluralist society”.

The case was then sent back to the tribunal to decide whether Forstater’s claim had been proved on the facts. It upheld two complaints of direct discrimination and one of victimisation. Two other complaints of direct discrimination and one of victimisation were unsuccessful.

The judgment stated: “Absent an explanation from the respondents, the facts are such that the tribunal could properly conclude that the tweets were a substantial part of the reason why Ms Forstater was not offered employment; and the respondent’s evidence, far from proving the contrary, supports the finding that they were …

“We reminded ourselves that it would be an error to treat a mere statement of Ms Forstater’s protected belief as inherently unreasonable or inappropriate.”

The tribunal examined a number of tweets by Forstater, including tweets in which she drew an analogy between self-identifying trans women and Rachel Dolezal, a white American woman who misrepresented herself as black, and another in which she said: “A man’s internal feeling that he is a woman has no basis in material reality.” It concluded that the tweets asserted her gender-critical beliefs.

It said the same of one that described self-identification as a woman as “a feeling in their head”, rejecting the suggestion that it equated self-identification with mental illness.

The tribunal also considered tweets in which Forstater said she was surprised people could say they believed that males could be women, and that they are “tying themselves in knots”.

It said they were “fairly mild examples” of mockery, adding: “Mocking or satirising the opposing view is part of the common currency of debate.”

The three-member panel, led by the employment judge Andrew Glennie, said a description of a Credit Suisse executive, Pips Bunce, who identified as a woman for part of the week, as a “part-time cross dresser” could have been put in “more moderate terms”.

But two of the three panel members said it “did not amount to an objectionable or inappropriate manifestation of Ms Forstater’s belief, given the context of a debate on a matter of public interest; the fact that Pips Bunce had put themself forward in public as a person who is gender fluid and who dresses sometimes as a woman and sometimes as a man”.

Responding to the decision, Forstater said: “My case matters for everyone who believes in the importance of truth and free speech. We are all free to believe whatever we wish. What we are not free to do is compel others to believe the same thing, to silence those who disagree with us or to force others to deny reality.”

She also thanked JK Rowling for standing by her. The Harry Potter author tweeted: “Every woman who’s been harassed, silenced, bullied or lost employment because of her gender critical beliefs is freer and safer today, thanks to the warrior that is @MForstater.”

Stonewall, the LGBTQ+ campaign group, said: “Today’s judgment … does not change the reality of trans people’s workplace protection. No one has the right to discriminate against, or harass, trans people simply because they disagree with their existence and participation in society.”

Even if you thought trannies weren’t mentally ill and satanic, why would you try to make them the center of society?

The only reason you would do that is if you knew they were satanic, and liked it.

The most important thing we can teach our children is that there are all kinds of different things they can shove up their anuses, and all kinds of different ways they can mutilate their bodies.

This is who we are in a rules-based order of values.

Daily Express:

Over 800 schools across Britain were sent a copy of “What does LGBT+ Mean?” In the document, a claim is made suggesting a doctor or nurse “looked at our body and gave us a label based on what they could see”. The leaflet was written by diversity campaigners, and includes a section on “gender as a spectrum.”

Co-authored by a mother and her son, the paper says: “Some people find it useful to think of gender as a sliding scale between male and female.”

The scale is shown with labels in between male and female, including mostly female, partly female, both or neither, partly male and mostly male.

Critics of the brochure find the idea of creating a sliding scale ridiculous.

Helen Joyce, from the advocacy group Sex Matters, said: “Nobody is assigned a sex.

“I’ve given birth twice and both times I knew what sex the baby was at 20 weeks.

“It’s just absurd.”

Speaking to The Times, Ms Joyce ended: “How did we get to a place where teachers feel they can sit and say to primary children, ‘Some people feel male, some feel female, some feel both and some feel neither’?”

The book was first published in October and is being described as an educational tool for children aged between 8 and 11.

Its author is Olly Pike, director of the LGBT+ educational resource Pop’n’Olly; Mel Lane, a diversity campaigner; and her son, James Canning.

The book states: “People feel happier and included when their pronouns are respected.”

It also includes definitions of those who identify as transgender, nonbinary and intersex.

On pronouns, it adds: “We can’t just assume pronouns.

“If you are not sure about another person’s pronouns, it is OK to politely ask.”

The book also includes information on LGB flags, as well as suggestions for activities children can take part in to learn further.

Data provided on the Pop’n’Olly website shows that the book has been donated to at least 814 primary schools.

When asked how widely it was being read by teachers, Mr Pike said: “Teachers have expressed interest, thanks and gratitude towards this book.

“It’s helping the teachers as much as students.”

An education source said: “Britain is one of the most tolerant countries in the world, but it’s neither constructive nor appropriate to be concerning young children with culture war issues. We should let kids be kids.”

A Department for Education spokesman said: “Schools must comply with the relationship, sex and health education (RSHE) curriculum guidance, using materials that are factually accurate and age-appropriate.”

People don’t seem to know that all these organizations exist.

Well, they do exist, and they’re in every country.

Children up and down the UK are using our resources to learn about LGBT+ topics 🏳️‍🌈

They even have this stuff all the way in Donetsk, which is the newest frontier of this anus empire.

Or, it was.

If you think this isn’t happening in your local school because you voted Republican, you need to listen to me and go check.
