Joyce Activated

In this issue I share an extended version of my speaking notes for an event with Richard Dawkins, organised by Conservatives for Women, at the House of Lords on March 12th.

Obviously, this week I’m writing about fan fiction. And thanking everyone who got in touch to see how I am, from the bottom of my heart.

This week I dissect how a nonsense story about how men’s breast milk is better than women’s made it around the world.

I promise I’ll stop going on about pronouns after this issue. But it’s not all I talk about - I also discuss speaking into a poisoned linguistic environment and anonymous accounts.

In which I reflect on threats by a trans-identified man against me and Posie Parker, and yet again the vexed question of preferred pronouns.

I often wonder what we could all be doing if we didn’t have to waste our time on this fight. And I grieve for what is being lost: not just our time, but social, emotional, economic and intellectual capital.

After Jo Phoenix's win, how many more court cases will it take before the message that discrimination on grounds of GC belief is unlawful?

In which I describe what I learned from doing a "street epistemology" session with Peter Boghossian, Eric Kaufmann and Andy Ngo

What I learned from the biggest social-media blow-up I’ve ever been involved in – when I said that people who believe in gender-identity ideology are a “huge problem in a sane world”.

The first of two posts about what I’ve learned from the social-media pile-ons I’ve experienced: not just how to survive them, but why they happen and what they have taught me.
