This is what keeps getting lost…it is about the women, the safety of women, the rights of women to be free from male violence, nothing else is relevant, it’s all a distraction.
I see so many people get tangled in the reeds in this issue but JB speaks in lightning bolts!
IT’S not about them! It’s about women and the fact that society is failing them. When there is no more VAWG then ‘fill your boot’; but until that day WE NEED OUR OWN SPACES.
"If men would stop beating and raping us..." YES! Isn't it just so clear what this is all about when we're demonized for simply standing up for ourselves? We're essentially being told to get back in line and do as we're told! The focus is always on women "behaving" and NEVER men's deplorable centuries-old violence.
It is worth saying that giving the small number of transwomen the right to use women's safe spaces offers no benefit whatsoever to women. It does introduce a new danger (the possibility of male violence) to every one of us. So no benefit, only danger for all women - including these trans"women" who apparently want to escape male violence while at the same time introducing its possibility where there was none.
Everything trans identifying men want could be gained by having their own spaces - except validation. So what it boils down to is that all women are being put in danger to validate a small number of men's fantasies.
Well sorry guys but the answer is no. Not that you are asking of course.....
Thanks for your brilliantly clear advocacy for women and girls, Julie. Here in Queensland Australia a self-ID bill erasing the distinction between sex and gender has been introduced by the Labor Party. We (mostly women’s groups) have been shut out of consultations but have protested and lodged strong submissions against the bill. The evidence highlighted by you and other UK and Canadian feminists has been really helpful, but we’re told there is no evidence anywhere in the world!
Bindel is a hero. thank you for your words of gold. yes, those on the left must hold our noses and support those on the right who are defending women, kids, gays and parents against the cancerous fraud called gender ideology. after this dangerous idea has been exposed as a fraudulant hoax, then we can go back to hating what conservatives do. im even willing to forgive the interviewer, hoping shes gotten over her bullying of poor harry
You hit the nail on the head repeatedly with this. It's not about "transwomen." It's about men, whether or not those men "identity" as women, they ARE men, and must be treated as such for the safety of women, period and end of story.
"There were 15 transgender prisoners in custody in Scotland as of September 2022, the latest period for which data is available – 11 trans women and four trans men. 11 trans women, six are held in the men’s estate and five in the women’s estate. Of the four trans men, one is held in the men’s estate and three in the women’s estate." This same article states that around 10% of transgender women in prison in England and Wales are housed in women's prisons.
If the number of men in woman's prison is around the same for Scotland and England, why is the narrative that Nicola Sturgeon is the main person to blame?
I think I understand your question, Bryan, and I’d say that it appears that the Scottish Prison Service seems to have become more willing than in England to house men in women’s jails….and it could be there is a certain contagion in this (the word gets round that it’s possible). Sturgeon has steered the close-equivalent of Self-ID through the Scots Parliament which could facilitate even more men in women’s jails, and her govt rejected a proposed amendment to the bill which would have disallowed any GRC after a criminal charge of sexual assault or rape.
Alongside this, the SNP & their partners the Greens have consistently ridiculed the idea that men would ID as trans in order to predate on women. This approach now looks just stupid .
Nicola Sturgeon is not being blamed for the situation across the UK. What she has done is inadvertently pulled the whole sordid shambles into the sunlight, by allowing us to see the results of self-id in the wild, just after railroading a gender recognition reform bill through the Scottish Parliament. Usually, these policies are sneaked through under cover of darkness. There is plenty of blame to go round for all the parties both in Scotland and the UK.
Thanks for the response. I feel I have a good understanding of the issue and even though I disagree with Nicola Sturgeon around the impact of this bill I believe there's also real nuances being missed here that are important. I've been following Julie Bindel for a while and I'm a big fan. I've saw Julie give time to people she fundamentally disagrees with but seems happy discussing genuinely held beliefs. I do wonder why that same treatment isn't offered to Nicola Sturgeon? Arguably leading a government that has/is focusing on defending women. I appreciate there is a big disagreement on the sex gender debate but my belief is that there's still more beliefs shared than not.
Part of the reason may be that Nicola Sturgeon does not tolerate dissent or potential rivals. Anyone who does not sing from the TWAW hymnbook is undermined or frozen out, and can be persecuted by her acolytes (the Twitler Youth); see Joanna Cherry, Ash Regan, Joan Macalpine. Her cabinet appears to have been selected for loyalty rather than competence. The consultation on the GRRB was conducted by a committee stacked with MSPs who could be relied upon to come to the "right" conclusions. Consultation with the wrong sort of feminists was desultory, and the committee was too busy to hear directly from victims of male violence; they could put their concerns in writing. Elaine Miller reported that when skeptical evidence was being heard, the minister responsible for the bill was doodling on her notepad. There was an online consultation on the proposals, about two years ago I think, which has never been allowed to see the the light of day.
those werent her ideas. those are the orders from her puppet masters, the billionaires who are pushing gender ideology world wide. theyve hired million dollar lobbyists and PR ppl who carefully instruct her. sturgeon is just a mark. a target. shes been duped by slick presentations with bogus stats. shes been conned by a well financed global industry thats pushing this fraud in small countries only as leverage to push it into larger ones. theyve instructed her to push it through without asking for public consent, since its known these ideas are very unpopular and cant be supported via facts.
Hope it's ok to admit this here but your comment worries me. I think dangerous conspiracies are exactly whats created when nuance is ignored. I'm also concerned when people start calling politicians betrayer / traitor. Big red flags, even if it is Julie Bindel saying it.
it worries me too, to be honest. as an American living in the US, myself and others just lived through the horrifying presidency of trump where every day we heard 1000 lies and used similar language. that was dangerous comming from a US president. but no one really belived him outside of a few kooks. and ppl knew once he was out if office most of his BS would be forgotten gender ideology is even more dangerous. its fraud. but unlike trumps words, people actually belive it. every gender biz stat and claim is a lie. all based on meaningless online polls and fraudulant low quality short term stats. no, kids with gender dysphoria dont commit suicide more than others with same psych issues. no, gender meds dont help kids. no, dysphoria is not a permanent condition. most kids grow out of gender dysphoria unless given these harmful meds. but once they take the blockers, 98% go onto meds that cause perminant loss of sexual function. when a dangerous predator comes to town, its importnant ppl are alerted. yes, sturgeon has opened the door to polcies that harm kids and women. shes setting womens right back 300 years. yes, there is a rights conflict between the policies sought by the gender industry and the rights of kids, women, gays and others. sturgeon has been lied to. and shes lying to others. shes a danger. your fragile ears only help the predators

Thank you for defending single sex spaces and explaining why we need them!

Thank you, Julie, for saying what so many women know.

Well done Julie 👏
You were excellent Julie. We need to see you on tv more often. Clear, concise, articulate and loved the "Don't care" comment! Thank you. x
You are awesome 🤩 thank you
great interview
Thank you Julie Bindel!
So direct! Julie you absolutely nailed it, thank you.
Your Interviewer was pretty good too.
Thank you! I don’t care either 💕

JULIE.. you were superb!
I especially liked when you responded 'I don't care if they (transgender males) are offended.'
And Nicola Sturgeon will be soon discarded onto the trash-heap of history!

Another eloquent argument made. Well done Julie. Thank you.
Merci pour tout Dear Julie ! you really are our Houselight in this nightmare night we are in right now !
Good question from Bryan 87 too.
