12/12/2022 - An Exclusive Interview with JK Rowling about her New Project
Of course, anything Queen Rowling does to help women now would automatically trigger transactivists and men to go insane up in arms. She’s vilified even for helping rape victims; let that sink in.
TRAs reactions on social media:
12/5/22 - Rape Crisis founder backs Rowling’s trauma centre
Despite the TRAs and men meltdown, Rowling was praised and supported by another rape crisis center Ros Whyte.
And Rowling didn’t stop there. This week, she also rips into Nicola Sturgeon and Scottish government pushing self-id law, and retweeted Joanna Cherry’s post on trans activists at the University of Edinburgh for blocking access to screening of the movie Adult Human Female, the first UK documentary feature to look at the clash between women’s rights and trans ideology. To the University’s credit, they stuck to the principle of free speech and did not comply with trans activists’ pressure to stop the screening. But the movie could not be shown as trans activists physically blocked anyone from entry into the buildings to the screening.
We’re so fortunate to have Rowling on our side.

12/13/22- Trans women can take seats on public boards set aside for women, Scottish judge rules
Scotland has decided to allow men to dominate power in public positions while pretending to share power with women.
A Scottish judge ruled that trans women should be regarded the same as biological women when it comes to achieving a 50-50 balance of men and women on public boards. Lady Haldane in the Court of Session said trans women who hold a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) can take seats which are earmarked for women.
Speaking to LBC, spokeswoman Susan Smith said they were disappointed with the ruling and are considering appeal grounds. She added: "But at least we have some clarity going into the GRR final debate - it's quite shocking that the deadline for amendments has passed before MSPs were aware of this ruling because there's going to be massive implications. The Scottish Government has been saying a GRC makes no difference, it changes nothing, but now the court has said it does."

Violence against women
12/13/2022 - Society Prefers Dead Women to Women Who Fight Back, Femicide is a feature, not a bug, of patriarchy.
From article’s author Donna Johnson: “I no longer see the system as broken, but working exactly as intended, to maintain control of women. I’ve spent 36 years witnessing women in Canada being hung out to dry by CAS and the courts. I’ve buried more women and children than I can count; sometimes entire families. And I’ve listened to the same mind-numbing, woman-blaming rhetoric after each femicide as we quickly turn our minds, not to men and their entitled violence, but to women, and how we need to open up about abuse, break the silence, “leave”. The message is always the same: she could have handled it better.”

This common-sense bill would make it easier for survivors of domestic violence to separate their phone line from a family plan while keeping their own phone number. It also requires the FCC to create rules to protect the privacy of the people seeking this protection. This bill overwhelmingly passed both chambers of Congress, and it was signed by the President on December 7, 2022, making it Public Law 117-223.

12/7/22 - Has Sam Brinton's story always been too good to be true?
Meanwhile, even trans activists themselves have come to question whether Brinton’s story about his experience of radical conversion therapy when growing up was all made up.
Still, the Biden Administration continues its push of the nonsensical and harmful gender movement. Biden frames allowing children to be medically exploited for an ideology as “protecting children.” 'We need to challenge the hundreds of callous and cynical laws introduced in the states targeting transgender children, terrifying families and criminalizing doctors who give children the care we need,' Biden said. 'We have to protect these children so they know they are loved.'
