Your typo has unintentionally resulted in personal pronouns Dennis - 'we me'. 😂

As a woman I am horrified at the sight of two women bellowing in the face of a little baby, and another attacking a frail elderly man. I'm not saying that we should have to live up to higher standards than men, we shouldn't, but brave people who deplore the attack on women's and gay rights are fighting for these women as well as for themselves. Fred's placard supports us all. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you...

Both of these occurrences emphasise the extreme aggression and prejudice of some activists and onlookers claiming to support the rights of transgender people. I'm not sure what rights they're referring to, trans people have the right to exist, to be recognised and not be discriminated against. These rights are being protected.

But for some, the concept of personal freedoms and freedom of expression extends into freedom to oppress and intimidate other groups, primarily LGB people - particularly lesbian women and by extension all women. They have neither the right nor the freedom to do this, but they're doing it anyway and their ability to continue is being protected too. Seemingly, on the basis that it's what they're demanding.

It seems unfeasible that the appalling attack on Fred Sargeant has not been met with widespread public condemnation from LGBT organisations, publications and prominent LGB individuals. It should have been everywhere. Without men like Fred, and the determination and bravery he has shown all his adult life, as an activist and advocate of LGB rights, the lives of these people would be so different, and undoubtedly more difficult.

He and his fellow activists achieved so much. From leading the first march for LGB rights that later became Pride. It went on to be a global phenomenon, even if it has lost its way and is now something quite different now.

There would not have been a place or a platform for trans people, and unfortunately, for TRA's/MRA's to stand on, dominate and scream at women from if it wasn't for Fred and people like him. He's a fucking hero, and these people attack him and leave him lying injured on the floor. They are beneath contempt.

You've nailed it. Every day I feel more bewildered by this behaviour.

Re: Titzilla, I'm hearing whispers that he's potentially trolling the school board/school system. Apparently last year got pulled up for "toxic masculinity", speaking against gender neutral bathrooms, pretty anti-woke. School board apparently hates him. This puts it all in a VERY different light. However, the rumours come via 4chan so who knows if reliable?

My eldest daughter was subject to being fired from her position in a Scottish Highland hotel. She was constructively dismissed by a manager whose job she was doing because the manager was lazy and useless.

She got trespassed from the property. So did I and the rest of her family. AFAIK I am still trespassed from the establishment some years later.

The manager concerned was subsequently fired when her uselessness was made manifest by my daughter's absence. Daughter only knew the passwords to sign up to various business critical sites, her email address too. I bet that one caused a slew of problems.
