      Shocking moment this morning when journalists invited by @DavidTCDavies to hear MPs and feminists discuss #GRA issues @HouseofCommons were told MPs asked not to be named - for their own safety. @Womans_Place_UK @Transgendertrd @jameskirkup @Mermaids_Gender

      Looks like this is not true. This article names the MPs & says “...the politicians in attendance would not want to be "grilled" by journalists.” i.e. would not want to be questioned, NOT would not want to be named.https://talkradio.co.uk/news/david-davies-threatened-police-action-holding-meetings-transgender-concerns-18101628380#qQW76774WJqORQzB.99 …

      Ok, fair point. It doesn’t alter the fact that intimidation is being deployed to close down discussion. It would be silly if it wasn’t so effective.

      So essentially MP's are saying "You can name me as someone who won't speak up". Effectively maintaining the silence and thus complicity with those seeking to close down all discussion concerning women and girls.

      Anyone who speaks on either side of the argument gets attacked. You are responsible for this, not MPs.

          Women must not have or express a contrary opinion. Dissent is not tolerated. If women had not spoken up forcefully on this issue do you honestly think anyone would have considered our position in all of this. You would have safely & comfortably ignored both us and our concerns

          I listened to women’s voices because I knew @K_IngalaSmith from when we met years ago to discuss violence against women & girls, before the GRA debate. I respected her & felt I should listen to her. Nothing to do with being assertive, aggressive or intimidating. About respect.

          Sorry that was a bit ‘broad brush’. I mean the way the debate is being conducted makes MPs wary of going ‘on the record’

          That’s the problem. There is no debate, any efforts to debate this lead to cries of “transphobia” which then apparently justifies whatever response the TRAs fancy. I would be really interested to read some reasoned academic argument in support of self ID. I just get blocked.

          You are joking yeah? As far as I can see it’s anyone critical of gender law changes that is being attacked.

          And there it is. Women who speak out about threats to their safety are responsible for MPs being too frightened, of transactivists, to talk about threats to women's safety. Bingo.

          Yes, and if there wasn't any dissenting voices the Govt would have implemented a poorly conceived shitty piece of legislation and sat there proud as a toddler sitting on their potty.

          "You are responsible for this" Women stating facts and questioning dismantling of laws and protections, safeguarding etc.. are responsible for being attacked, including attacks on others. Got it ... :/

          Wow, textbook DARVO. "You are responsible for this". "You made me do it". Amazing. Complete lack of empathy and lack of insight into just why women might be frightened and angry at seeing their rights taken from them without their consent. It's scary.

          You don’t get to dodge or pushing this on to us. You, politicians, are responsible for how this is conducted, you are responsible for making sure all groups are consulted. I know an accountability check is novel but you’ll have to take the failure to do this properly on the chin.
