Riley Gaines makes a good point in her book. If being pro women is inherently "transphobic", then being pro trans is inherently misogynistic, anti-women. This case illustrates it perfectly.
Simply sickening. Rape victims should not be expected to lay their worries and wounds aside in order to appease misogyny at its ugliest and hardest hearted.
He wanted power over vulnerable women. There are no two ways about it, he saw the vacancy, he decided to “be” a woman and he got the job because everyone was too scared to say no. Vulnerable women were put in further harms way because a man wanted to see them squirm
However we should also absolutely question the management of ERCC for allowing, going along with and possibly virtue seeking decision making in hiring him.
So this man, awarded a job to support women, has used the role to punish women for fearing men? After they've suffered SA by men? And this has been allowed to continue? Why isn't the man running the place in prison? He's utterly failed to do his job.
Not being able to sleep I ended up reading a lot of the judgement. It’s quite interesting if disturbing. Reading the chain of emails it was just so ridiculous. The woman identifying as non binary sounds like she shouldn’t be a counsellor and should be seeking help for her own issues. There are so many women who’ve been hurt by this stupid ideology at this centre. One example in the judgement was a 60 year old woman who came for help after being raped when she was in her 20s. It must have affected her for such a long time to finally reach out for help. They turned her away and never referred her to Beira’s Place.
Can women sue the rape crisis center? Sue their pants off.. that male personally and every other member of tge tribunal. Do they not do personal interviews before hiring? What the hell?
I agree … it would seem rather sinister that a trans identifying male would want this kind of job. If sex doesnt matter then sex crimes don’t matter and then women do not matter. It’s horrifying. What next? Teachers not having to have DBS clearing because we ‘must be kind’. Safeguarding is paramount.
More than embarrassing - it’s absolutely sick and evil as how easily this massive misogynistic situation has happened. That man needs to be removed from his job immediately. And the people who gave that man the job need to be sacked/removed from their roles immediately too. Kafkaesque - absolutely! These people are doing major harm to women and girls!
If you can’t figure out who you are what chance have you got of supporting a rape victim. As a 52 year man I feel humiliated by the severity of stupidity from younger people
@edwardhoulton8725 Mridul Wadhwa, the CEO of Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre and SNP member and candidate in 2021 and then moved to the Green Party, was born in 1978, so is not actually very young.
They’re not gender critical beliefs; it’s a fact that women are female, men are male, and there are only women and men. Any alternative claims are the beliefs. The way the language has been twisted every step of the way must be thoroughly challenged. Don’t play their game - use accurate language.
Despite all that being true, activists have managed to introduce a distinction, in law, between "biological sex" and "legal sex" So now a biological man/male can be a legal woman/female and therefore be entitled to the same legal rights. Absolutely bonkers!!
@@Eyespy743 how is that statement wrong? If the position was posted for a female and this man brandished a gender recognition certificate saying he's female, he could sue if he was disqualified, and he would probably do it.
@haich... power over vulnerable women..YES.. MrIidul said that he had a phone job in India that served poor Americans on welfare. Idul said e enjoyed the power of being able to control if their card worked or not...the gist
Totally agree. It’s a nebulous non word. Newspeak manipulation. We need to excise it from all conversations. Stop pussyfooting around the MIAWs - Men Identifying As Women. 🦖 John K
I find that when I talk to people about single sex spaces, men in women's prisons etc. it does not affect them personally in their daily lives, so they have not processed what they think about this. They just follow what along with what they have been told in main stream media and it is easier to be "kind and inclusive" . They do not realize they are eroding women's rights.
Google Party Of Women - support & more candidates needed for the General Election so that the harms caused by transnoncence to women and children is effectively challenged in the media and parliament, councils etc
It's a shame Australian law is no longer supporting its women in this way. We are now at the mercy of any male who wants to enter our sex-specific spaces 😢
I’m deeply disturbed by anyone who, knowing the disproportionate rate at which women throughout history have been assaulted, raped and murdered by men, still does not believe women should have the fundamental right to same sex, men-free spaces. It comes down to the single question of whether you believe women should have the right to their own space. If, knowing all of the above, they don’t, that is an opinion which does not belong in civilised discussion. If they do acknowledge that women should be afforded this right, then that excludes biological men BY DEFINITION. How did we get here?
The court is Scotland seems to have a lot of more common sense than the courts here in Queensland, Australia. Where a trans women sued a biological women for not being allowed on a women’s only app. The biological male took the biological female to court over this - and the court sided with the trans women and told the biological women it’s transphobic not letting man on a female only app. At least in this case the judge ruled with common sense.
In some sense this is a watershed event as was Isla Bryson also in Scotland and Lia Thomas in the USA, breaking the spell and lifting the (eye) lids of many. SNP are still mostly 'captured' and most that aren't are too feart to speak up.
IMHO this woman should replace the cross dressing man as director of SRC. She obviously has the needs of women who need this service in the forefront of her mind
Whatever your feelings on transgender issues, this is an awful character assassination of Mridul Wadhwa. Someone who has worked in Scotland's equality sector for nearly 20 years, dedicating a huge chunk of their life to helping victim's of heinous crimes all too present in our society. Disgusting comment section.
Perhaps he should have stuck to that sector and not taken any job and especially one advertised for a woman, i.e.adult human female. These roles matter, sex matters and now this case has brought light to many who were otherwise non plussed over 'trans' issues.
Riley Gaines makes a good point in her book. If being pro women is inherently "transphobic", then being pro trans is inherently misogynistic, anti-women. This case illustrates it perfectly.
Not exactly so; but it can work out that way.
Well said. Sadly it appears highly misogynistic to the vast majority of us who are female.
They're all homophobic and anti female, they're vile. Just agps
Simply sickening. Rape victims should not be expected to lay their worries and wounds aside in order to appease misogyny at its ugliest and hardest hearted.

Agreed 👍
I agree.

Who hired him? They should be fired as well as him!
100%

Why isn't the man running the place in prison? He's utterly failed to do his job.
A job he should never have had. Why wasn't this flagged up by the service from the start as the ... unacceptable mess it is ?!
SNP aren’t your friends

Sex matters is doing such good work they deserve more mainstream media air time!
It's a women's rights organisation and women are an afterthought
@@nikobellic570 very true
They want to kill all autistic and trans people and force 14 year olds to give birth!!!
Perhaps we should all put our hands in our pockets and support Sex matters. Brilliant women doing vital work and clawing back empowerment.
This MAN should be in prison
Thank you to all the brave Women and Men who have continued to show courage and tell the truth.
What about the rape victims?What about the women who self-excluded from services?
This is actually beyond cruel. To have to be in the presence of a male when you’re at your most vulnerable is unthinkable.
Not being able to sleep I ended up reading a lot of the judgement. It’s quite interesting if disturbing. Reading the chain of emails it was just so ridiculous. The woman identifying as non binary sounds like she shouldn’t be a counsellor and should be seeking help for her own issues.

Lawsuits cost a lot of money, which most just don't have. Justice is for the wealthy.

This is just infuriating. Unbelievable, and he’s still there!
I live in Edinburgh and this is just embarrassing !

The CEO went for the job because if he didn’t get it he could sue for discrimination and getting it meant control. Sick
Wrong. Legislation allows for certain jobs to be advertised and limited to female applicants only, this was one of them.
@@Eyespy743 how is that statement wrong? If the position was posted for a female and this man brandished a gender recognition certificate saying he's female, he could sue if he was disqualified, and he would probably do it.
He was a failed wannabe politician. Ms Sturgeon was an ally of Wadhwa.

How appalling, where did he say this?
Love @michaelpforan, maya is great and thanks to Andrew for airing this insanity
Rape victims are dealing with a harsh reality, they shouldn't have to deal with other peoples mental illness at the same time.
Why are we using word Gender

Especially now, when they can't even decline a sexual partners because they are transwomen

Women are too scared to speak. You'll get doxxed, fired and possibly assaulted.
@8LotusBlossom8 so. Stand up for your rights? Otherwise it'll get worse. Women will lose all their jobs in favor of transwomen.
“Sex facts” before gender belief
Oh I love that yellow dress btw! 💛
