Edwardian embroidered Scottish Suffragette belt, believed to have been worn in Edinbugh at the Suffragette procession,1909, organised by the WSPU (Women’s Social and Political Union).#WomensArtOur cup runneth over again this week with another bumper edition of good news from the gender beat. Enjoy!
Lib Dem Climb Down
The Liberal Democrats have revised their definition of ‘transphobia’ in light of recent legal precedents and in order to reflect biological reality.
Lib Dems revise "transphobia" definition, in light of Forstater judgment, drop "misgendering" and "deadnaming" from policy. Now it is time to apologise to gender-critical members.The Lib Dems’ previous definition of ‘transphobia’ included ‘misgendering’, ‘deadnaming’ and even references to biological sex were verboten.
These references have now been removed and the definition has been revised to ensure that it is in keeping with the law and recognises that expressing gender-critical views is legally protected.
Federal Court Says ‘No’ To Joe
In news from the US, a federal district court has rejected an attempt by the Biden administration to rewrite Title IX and force schools, medical centers, and other institutions to comply with gender ideology.
A federal court has rejected the Biden admin's attempt to redefine "sex" in federal law, ruling that "Title IX’s protections center on differences between the two biological sexes." This is a win for doctors and female athletes. ADF filed an amicus. ⬇️The case, Neese v. Becerra, was brought by two Texas physicians who argued Biden’s mandate would force them to choose between their jobs and their consciences. The US District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Amarillo Division, agreed and determined that Title IX does not include ‘sexual orientation’ and ‘gender identity’.
In his ruling Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk remarked that “Title IX’s protections center on differences between the two biological sexes… Title IX expressly allows sex distinctions and sometimes even requires them to promote equal opportunity”.
Les Be Having You
Calling all lesbians (the real sort)! Check out this great new organisation and website, Les Be Real. It is a group ‘for lesbians by lesbians’.
Check out our NEW website! A dozen+ lesbians have collectively put this together in just a week. Still working out some kinks (no not those kinds of kinks) on the mobile version, but this is a decent representation of our aims and objectives so far. lesbereal.co.uk“We campaign on issues that concern lesbians as a group, aiming to build lesbian rights and further lesbian political representation. Our initiatives are about supporting lesbian existence as lesbians. Our events will foster real lesbian connections with the purpose of enriching lesbian lives.”
That’s The Way To Do It
The long-awaited sculpture of writer and feminist icon, Virginia Woolf, was finally unveiled in Richmond this week.
And she’s here! Thank you to everyone who’s supported us on this journey! #virginiawoolf #statue #richmondThe public unveiling took place on 16th November 2022 at Richmond-upon-Thames Riverside Terraces.
Passersby are encouraged to sit down and take a selfie with the bronze Virginia Woolf. Sculptor, Laury Dizengremel, told The Guardian, “I find it quite remarkable that Woolf will be situated where so many people will walk past, where so many women and girls will be inspired.”
Scarf-Face
This week women in the Scottish Parliament were instructed to remove the scarves they were wearing in suffragette colours. One woman refused and was ejected. This total shambles has backfired tremendously and left those responsible with egg all over their faces.
Presiding Officer Alison Johnson addresses the removal of members of the public from a committee meeting this morning. "The action taken was an error and I would like to apologise on behalf of the parliament," she said.Presiding Officer, Alison Johnson, had to issue an apology to the women involved and confirmed that they had not breached the Scottish Parliamentary Code of Conduct as had originally been claimed.
Female politicians across the parties nailed their suffragette colours to the mast to demonstrate their disdain. (L-R: SNP MP Joanna Cherry KC, Labour MP, Thangam Debonnaire and Conservative MSP, Rachael Hamilton.)
Even Conservative MP, Penny Mordant, couldn’t help getting involved.
Sales of suffragette scarves have boomed, giving a very welcome boost to some feminist-owned businesses.
#ScarfGate has been a boost to feminist businesses!Expulsion of woman from Holyrood transgender debate for wearing suffragette colours sparks global boom in feminist scarf sales #Scarfgate https://t.co/pmBQp4sO2gDan Sanderson @DSanderson_85And how wonderful is this? We are raising armies of girls who will not wheesht!
We were sent this wonderful letter (with permission to tweet) by a mother. This was posted to the Presiding Officer this week. Lovely to see that young girls are alert to the threat to women's rights and that #GirlsWontWheesht either! #WomenWontWheesht #ScarfgateBarnes Storming

Glasgow venue Civic House cancels booking for Education Not Indoctrination conference
By Marc Horne
Friday November 18 2022, 12.01am GMT, The Times
A conference which aimed to highlight opposition to “cancel culture” has itself been cancelled after venue staff refused to work at the event, it has emerged.
Speakers at Education Not Indoctrination planned to claim that “woke ideology” is taking over schools and universities at the event at Civic House in Glasgow tomorrow.
It was forced to move to a new venue after the original hosts claimed that the topics they planned to discuss were offensive to LGBTQ staff members.
[…]
Waiton, an academic at Abertay University and a former Brexit Party candidate, claimed the cancellation served only to highlight the need for the conference.

“Remember when it was just male and female? Well if you want to apply for San Francisco's guaranteed income for transgenders they have added a few more.”
