The Violence of the Woke Left By Mrs Vera West
It is a disturbing sign of the times, as the woke Left are turning on traditional Left feminists, such as J. K. Rowling, who for her criticisms of trans women in sport, and for holding to a more conventional definition of “woman,” has received numerous death threats. She is called a “trans-exclusionary radical feminist.” A recent protest saw Scottish politician standing next to signs calling for terfs to be beheaded. That is an interesting mode of death, that is practiced by another group, no so sympathetic to their cause. I wonder where all of this is going?
““Terf” is a neologism for individuals critical of transgenderism: “trans-exclusionary radical feminists.” In Scotland, politicians were seen during a protest posing by a sign calling for trans-critical “terfs” to be beheaded. J.K. Rowling has drawn attention to this absurdity:
This isn’t the first time that Rowling has stood up to woke madness and enemies of freedom, thereby putting herself in harm’s way. She remains a rare voice among celebrities in being willing to stand for the truth. In September, police dropped an investigation into an online threat to the Harry Potter creator over her support for Salman Rushdie. Then in May, she declared the far Left “on the wrong side of history“ after a pro-transgender Antifa assault on a feminist campaigner. One of her tweets about the ridiculousness of the trans movement drew ire:
Rowling has made a strong and reasoned case in support of trans rights, noting the vulnerability of trans individuals. Her issue is that the movement has begun to trample the rights of others, particularly of girls and women. She stated:
I want trans women to be safe. At the same time, I do not want to make natal girls and women less safe. When you throw open the doors of bathrooms and changing rooms to any man who believes or feels he’s a woman – and, as I’ve said, gender confirmation certificates may now be granted without any need for surgery or hormones – then you open the door to any and all men who wish to come inside. That is the simple truth.”
As Western society rots from within and politicians line their pockets with the hard-earned dollars of taxpayers, free societies are ripe for complete takeover by foreign enemies who have retained their focus on the reality of male-female differences, the importance of the family unit, and the strengthening their military (as opposed to training the military to be more feminine). Without a swift turnaround, we are doomed as a society. …
The Daily Mail ran the headline “Police investigate sign threatening to ‘decapitate TERFs’ at Glasgow rally as JK Rowling mocks ‘temporary blindness’ of politicians posing near it.” Yet there is rarely any follow-up. Woke leaders are masters of manipulation, deception, bullying, violence and intimidation. Scottish politicians “claimed that, despite the allegedly accurate images, they were unaware of the sign at the demonstration.” Such ignorance, even if true, should disqualify them from positions of leadership.
“J.K. Rowling Questions Why Left Politicians Photographed In Front of ‘Decapitate Terfs’ Sign,” by Peter Caddle, Breitbart, January 23, 2023:
A number of politicians within the progressive Scottish National Party have come under fire after reportedly being pictured by a sign calling for trans-critical “terfs” to be beheaded.
A number of MPs and one MSP within the ruling Scottish National Party (SNP) have been roundly criticised after images emerged of them at a protest standing beside a sign calling for individuals critical of transgenderism — sometimes known by the neologism “terf” — to be beheaded.
The pictures were reportedly taken at a demonstration protesting the UK government’s decision to block a law that would allow children aged sixteen years and over to legally declare their own gender without medical supervision which was recently passed by the Scottish parliament.
According to a report by The Telegraph, MPs for the SNP Alison Thewliss, Kirsten Oswald and Stewart McDonald were all pictured standing near the handmade sign, which read “decapitate terfs” alongside images of heats and a guillotine.
The representatives have reportedly claimed that, despite the allegedly accurate images, they were unaware of the sign at the demonstration.
Also snapped beside the sign was SNP member of the devolved Scottish parliament in Holyrood Kaukab Stewart, who is also reported as denying being aware of the sign while present at the demonstration.
Such a claim has been mocked by some online, with famous author and women’s rights campaigner J.K. Rowling posting a picture of Stewart near the sign with the caption “I too beam with delight when having my photograph taken with things of which I am entirely unaware”.
Meanwhile, some members of the UK Conservative Party have called for a criminal investigation to take place into the existence of the sign, with some representatives seemingly keen to brand it as a form of hate speech.
“As this display of this appalling sign is clearly a hate crime and a public order offence, I have reported the matter to [Police Scotland] and would encourage others to do so,” Murdo Fraser, a Tory representative within the Scottish parliament, wrote online, adding that “[s]uch behaviour should not be tolerated in our society”……”
