       LGBA Conf. First, I'm glad LGBA exists, I really am. We obviously need an org. that's not been infiltrated by the trans menace and I think they are largely trying BUT some thoughts:1. Why did they platform some heterosexuals? This isn't about my personal views on anyone, but there was a distinct lack of decent lesbian representation again. It's not a huge expectation to think the lineup should be LGB given they are, you know, the LGB Alliance. 2. Ordinary people outside of London are priced out. Offer concessions/travel help like Lesbian Strength do. There's funds for that by now. Several friends said it was too expensive for them. 3. No livestream? 4. Can we please, please, please have people are who NOT middle - class academics who, in some cases, treat this debate as a thought - experiment when women's and lesbians lives are directly impacted. The reality of our lives is best described by those of us living it rather than people who have strolled through life oblivious to some pretty major issues. The same few names dominate and it's another reason why me and some friends didn't attend. 5. Platforming someone who many know is, or was, a friend/associate of Stephanie Hayden is not a good look. Yet again, several of us went WTF. There's a general feeling, and of course I'm blunt enough to say publicly what's said in groups, that it's become a very slick, corporate affair dominated by an elite few that appear at everything else. We don't want to be lectured at from a stage. We want to hear from ordinary people, have more engagement, and for people not to be priced out of their own movement.

       @DrLouiseMoody every time that a grassroots movement becomes funded it becomes infiltrated and compromised.  FFS   NOTHING to do with TRAS should be in there.  And hets only as allies.

       @Sherri_Ingrey They seem to have confused wider GC issues with issues of LGB concern and, whilst there's significant overlap, I'm not really interested in yet more trans trans trans when I go to some lesbian events to get *away* from that.I've enormous respect for some of the heterosexuals who spoke but their spots should have been occupied by someone LGB.

       @HebrideanHecate Well, their convos. with him were disclosed during litigation and were essentially "Here is some gossip about Louise's wife" (who couldn't stand any of them) which we think you can use against her. It was used against me but irrelevant to the case. Some of these people are a danger to, rather than defend, us.

       @HebrideanHecate @Sherri_Ingrey Lesbian Jenny claimed in a space that she's had to move after someone posted dog mess through her door.I've been sued three times, am out there under my own name, and not experienced anything like that (threats, yes, but I think they know it's unwise to pull an offline stunt). So, I'm a little sceptical of stories like this.

       @DrLouiseMoody @HebrideanHecate I have been out in my own name in social media for 13 years.  I lost a whole lot from being a women's rights activist for many years before that. Because I worked for working poor women and poor women and indigenous inner city women.  They can't dox me now because I am retired.  I am UP TO HERE with them taking anything from warrior women like you or KJK   or ANY other woman brave enough to show their faces.  I was around when libfems  tried to deplatform Meghan Murphy.  NOW those bitches have taken over rabble.ca.  Which actually used to BE rabble.  Now it's just BABBLE on.

       @Sherri_Ingrey @DrLouiseMoody There is also an element of it in demanding all women show who they are too, not everyone has the safety or luxury of being able to do so, each has to work with what she has, but ALL women, not just the naice ones.

       @HebrideanHecate @Sherri_Ingrey This is the subject of a Twitter space tonight, so a timely observation. Demanding women reveal themselves who may well lose the roof over their heads if they do is astonishingly ignorant. Stock got a six figure payout from Sussex if she shut up and didn't go to tribunal. She's been cruising since. Most women are worrying about how to feed their children and keep warm rather than risking decloaking for the cause.

       @DrLouiseMoody @Sherri_Ingrey Exactly that, and this is another issue for me, their disdain for women who do have kids, who have that added burden of having to think of them as well, and not just themselves and a can I risk this or not, not so easy when you have dependents. Which is why the behaviour of Ingala Smith to Lisa Muggeridge over the benefits thing was so outrageous. She did not see it at all, it isn’t that women who have  kids are better or more special, it’s just that it gives an added layer of vulnerability should shit hit the fan or where income need is required.

       @DrLouiseMoody @HebrideanHecate I love Meghan Murphy to death but she asked for that as well.  IT GOT HER PURSUED through the streets of her city with doxxing posters all over the west end of Vancouver.  And there are many women that can neither give up their work or their homes.   I am only public because they can't take anything I haven't already lost.

       @Sherri_Ingrey @DrLouiseMoody And there is nothing they can do to me either, but I use a fake name on all SM just from habit, rather than anything else, I don’t live in a  place that anything happens or is even remotely close to where events take place, although given my health issues too far to travel in any case.

       @HebrideanHecate @Sherri_Ingrey Everyone else is just JEALOUS innit and nothing at all to do with their behaviour which is impeccable and professional at all times and definitely does not include things like lunging at women drunk whilst your husband parents the child you barely see.But, seriously, I don't think some are *actively* excluding groups and women (I doubt there was a conscious decision to exclude KPSS from the Suella Braverman meeting) but it's the obliviousness to others which is part of the issue. If you only engage with fellow academics and "intellectuals" then, by definition, you cannot represent working class women. Charging £60 for a ticket reflects a degree of obliviousness to women's lives. I get that venue hire is expensive but they now have the means to assist others to attend. Same for the likes of WPUK. Oh and the Genspect conf. is now charging 125 dollars to view the livestream and 600 to attend. This degree of monetisation makes me uncomfortable. I don't expect anyone to do anything for free but there's a point at which orgs. are divorced from the very groups they purport to represent.

       @DrLouiseMoody @Sherri_Ingrey Absolutely that, they step up and away from where they started and the dollars take over. Also, if they won’t push for Repeal then as far as I am concerned they are on totally the wrong wicket from the start.

       @DrLouiseMoody @HebrideanHecate I still remember a one hour back and forth with Julie Bindel who was trying to talk to me about political lesbianism WAY past it's best before date, maybe three years ago?   Like I am SORRY  but I like my orgasms and I tried that in the 1980s and are you trying to tell me we aren't born this way and no skin off your nose anyway fgs....  and then the pet troons. and the awful attack on working class women ... well, not my cuppa, and I am not even from the UK.

       @Sherri_Ingrey @DrLouiseMoody I know, it’s so depressing, she has written blistering stuff on the sex trade and the hair trade and surrogacy, then she goes and shits all over people. Truth is, she is a bit of an arrogant bully. What really  pissed me off there, apart from the “thick feck” comment was that time she got called out on taking a seat on free speech with the dangerous creep that is “Jane Fae”. She would not take on board what people were quite reasonably saying to her about it. Free speech does have limits, advocating harm, and he does, he is a pedo and he pushes for it. Had she said I want him to out himself so folk see what he is after then that would have made sense,  but she kept on about free speech. It’s like free speech is being allowed to say I think abortion or homosexuality is a sin but  not go out and kill people who do these things etc.

       @HebrideanHecate @Sherri_Ingrey It's free speech when she gives troons a platform but everyone else is Nazi-adjacent if they speak to someone she finds objectionable.She was CC-ed evidence (solicitor letter spelling it all out which is how I got it to stop) about the sex pest (I was advised to cc on those who had started a very public trashing). Didn't reply. Told a friend she believed and sent good thoughts. Then did  ... nothing. She's not obliged to call it out but there should have been an apology given she was demonstrably wrong.I once really admired her. Now I just see a bully and social climber.

       @DrLouiseMoody @Sherri_Ingrey Trouble is, so many of these women have forgotten what Women’s LIB meant, that part is now not on their radar, the ALL women, whether one likes them or not etc etc etc.The only ones I blocked on here were due to not thinking they were here in good faith, being outrageously vicious to other women for the hell of it, trashing women who are married, or who have children or want children at some point, women who are stay at home, for whatever reason, spouting shit at everyone and losing the plot and not seeing that it’s women, regardless of “sides” which matter.

       @Sherri_Ingrey @DrLouiseMoody Tell you another thing I find weird, this oh, you don’t look like a feminist!As if every woman has to have a uniform of some perceived as suitable garments. Now, there is most certainly a critique to be made re makeup, the whys and the wherefores and the expectations and all the rest of it, the sexualisation of ever younger females, absolutely, but as Tish once said surely the fact that a bit of red lipstick lifts her spirits does not damn her credentials as a feminist woman. I’d rather someone who enjoys getting gussied up but has her thinking straight than a bunch of hypocritical, carping, jealous natured we’ll tell the plebs how to thinkers.Besides, humans have been decorating themselves since they found out they had opposable thumbs, to attract a mate, for rituals, even sometimes for themselves, God forbid!
