eviL is eviL Period... What "eviL" is "good"... That malevolent predator...being "allowed" even encouraged by the supposed "GateKeepers" proves how disingenuous they've been towards XX all along. Obscene Belittling actual Women's Issues of sexual violence and Power
As a rape victim-I’ve gone knowingly to a male doctor I knew I could trust and who showed me infinite compassion and care- however, if I were to attend a crisis centre if a man pretending to be a woman was the only person I was presented to talk to when I was expecting to speak to a woman with biological and cultural experience of male violence I would not be ok with that and would leave and not return for further help in crisis.
There are a lot if " ifs" and speculation in your comment. Can you provide one single case where that has actually happened?..... didn't think so..... A CEO deals with staff, not patients.
@@louisavondart9178a CEO shapes services and provision. How could a male CEO ever experience life as a woman, or more specifically a female as you may need clarification to my reference as woman.
I was r*p3d as a teen & went to the crisis center, as it was in the middle of the night. There is NO FREAKING WAY I would have let a man do the exam. NO FREAKING WAY!!!!
I agree with the OP, there's one doctor with whom I already had an excellent trust system established, and I felt comfortable talking with him, because I'd already known him well for years. (edit: and he was male)
I trusted my GP, David Baillie of Maryhill Health Centre, so did others....always have a chaperone if getting an internal examination, eg, smear test from a male! Re the person who commented on your comment, CEOs can and do (as with MW), set the tone of guidelines, protocols etc. MW should imo be removed from this position as he thinks victims and staff should challenge their thoughts and beliefs. Additionally he gave false information on interview given that he got the job advertised for a female. A sari, long hair, ear rings and lippy does not mean yer a woman!
I have used the Edinburgh Centre myself Decades ago. Had it not been for them I don't think I would have had the confidence to talk with my GP, a Kindly Soul who listened and helped me navigate the emotional destruction and self harming for Years on end. Had I walked into the centre today and was confronted with this, I'd have walked out said nothing for fear of being branded a phobe, and never spoken with a gp either because it was the lady at the centre that convinced me to be open and extend a little trust in my GP. This is wrong on so many levels, there are others in the comments far more eloquent in expressing why and I agree wholeheartedly. This is a slap to the face of victims for the gratification of a Man in drag and the thought makes me physically ill.
I don’t understand the thought process behind just taking some guy in a dress’s word for it that he’s now a she. Why do people refuse to believe that male predators might pretend to be trans women to access women’s spaces with evil intentions? Anyone who would look at a women’s crisis center and decide that it’s a good place for a man who identifies as trans has either never been a victim or has bad intentions. To complain so loudly about the rules in place shows either profound ignorance or profound misogyny.
@@lenxiabuda8338 ignorance of a woman’s experience of rape. If a trans woman can’t understand why it would be traumatic for a female rape victim to be speaking about that rape to someone who has been, or physically still is, a man they are not knowledgeable enough about a woman’s lived experience in the world to be a rape crisis counselor. To complain that you’re being unfairly discriminated against because the safety and comfort of the rape victims at the rape crisis center is considered more important in that place than a trans person’s desire to insert themselves into that space and counsel those victims is ignorance.
The way they keep forcing their way into female-only spaces shows that they don’t really want to be women at all. They clearly don’t even like women, as they keep trying to take away our privacy and safe spaces. This is nothing but a power play for them. And it’s beyond disturbing.
I used to work for the local council in Benefits. As a male I wasn't allowed to touch a single case that went to the women's shelter nor know the address. Only one specific woman could touch them. The women and children involved could literally be murdered or r**** if not. So the career route for a male to work connected to these centres is non-existent except if you're a chairman of some umbrella organization which means you wouldn't get to that position via some connection to those centres. Even then, male figures of power would hold meetings with the heads of the centre on a highly confidential basis without knowledge of private data. Males who actively try to work in or gain access to even information on the location of a centre would be prosecuted. Rightly. If I used my position to try to find out about women or the centre they'd have jailed me. There is no non-suspicious motivation for trying to "get involved". Sane males do not want to know where these centres are let alone gain access to them. If a male dishonestly gets an interview for a female role such as this case I think they should go on the "list". There is no justification for it. That male shouldn't be allowed near confidential data or jobs involving women, children or vulnerable people. It doesn't just raise red flags it's a genuine reason to convict.
Robert, great to see you here! Somehow your comment under my recent community post (with the pink anemones) and my reply got disappeared! Glad to see we're both back after our "time outs" based on our sex realism views!
@@UteHeggenTranswidowHeals I was permanently banned from reddit a few years back when a moderator said everyone who argued J K Rowling wasn't "extremely transphobic" would be banned. I didn't even say she isn't because she obviously isn't except in the non-believer sense. I said, I don't think this is the way moderators should behave and that it was a gross abuse of power. I was permanently banned and never ever got that account back. I now have a new one (apparently because it's connected to my phone). I was banned from a skeptic subreddit for being skeptical of puberty blockers. I was banned from multiple subreddits without reason. I am now banned for 7 days for "harassment" as I told you for pointing out simple realities. Literally pointing out that sources said the opposite that was claimed. The pressure to claim Khelif is female is overwhelming and the cowardice and virtue signaling palpable. Comments go awol left, right and centre on youtube. I enjoyed reading Orwell but didn't choose to live in one of his novels. P.S. If anyone else is reading this and hasn't seen Ute's channel then it's absolutely fantastic and regularly highlights studies and events that are hidden from us. The stories of wives of trans identifying males follow patterns anyone with a background in crime, vulnerable people or abuse, will easily recognize and the methodical questions allow for an objective, statistical as well as a qualitative approach to understanding the unheard stories of the wives whose voices go unheard in mainstream media.
They are now forcing women to call their r… by their preferred pronouns as well as judges using preferred pronouns which totally inflicts more trauma to the victims. The world has gone crazy
It`s tough getting rape convictions without now forcing (yes, forcing) the victim to say things like `she threw me against the wall`...and have a defence lawyer say..`at this point you thought she was a woman?` It`s hellish nonsense.
6:40 It doesn't matter if they had good intentions. What matters is that women are able to be comfortable with who they're talking to. That is what the crisis centers exist for. If the women are uncomfortable due to the person being biological male, end of story, because they can't open up the way that they are seeking to, leaving no point in the existence of these centers.
Exactly. If a women’s crisis center required a male plumber or electrician to visit and make repairs, that man would have to be accompanied by a staff member. He would not be left alone. That is not because they believe a random electrician is a predator. It is because they are taking reasonable precautions. Beyond the risk of actual abuse, female survivors have a right to seek care without the presence of men, regardless of those men’s intentions. The same is true of male survivors made uncomfortable by the presence of a woman. Anyone who repeatedly seeks to transgress people’s personal boundaries and safeguarding rules-particularly those of vulnerable abuse victims-should be regarded as suspicious.
It makes me want to cry. I just don't understand what happened to turn the world on its head like this. We women have fallen back into second class citizenship again, and it gets worse all the time in the UK. Round about 40 years ago, I was attacked by a man on a very early morning train. Every person that interviewed me was a man. Not that they weren't sympathetic, but it was still made worse telling a male stranger the details of the attack again and again. Still makes me tense up, even now, after all this time. But to go into a Crisis centre and discover that you're talking to a man dressed as a woman about a most intimate horror - it's beyond words to express how I feel about that. Indeed, to me, it's a p***-take. How dare they put women through that experience, when they are already holding on by mere threads.
VoicesWithVikki said it perfectly in her part 1 interview with The Bahemian Gyal (Aug 2024) a day or two ago. "Women are now being conditioned to put their danger sensing instincts on the back burner to make someone else feel comfortable."
For anyone in the UK, please consider registering support with women's rights charity 'Sex Matters' run by a bunch of strong-minded articulate mostly women who argue for women-only spaces including Rpe. Crisis centres. As a father I also donate a small monthly amount - I do it for my daughter and women's human rights in general.
This has to stop right now. We need to stand up. I know personally what it feels to be sexual abused starting at age five and for a long time. I know what it feels like to be blamed for it. Yes, I was told it was my fault that I must have led him on Let's get real. I was only and played with dolls. We need to put the blame where it belongs. Start protecting the children at all cost.
If he wanted to help women he would not have applied for this job , which most likely , would upset/scare and make vulnerable women feel horribly uncomfortable and betrayed.
As a rape victim, I find it highly offensive, disgusting and despicable, that women would allow men, to be anywhere near a girl or woman who has been raped. There are "zero" rape victims that would want to be near a man, let alone one pretending to be a woman, after being violated by a man.
I am very sorry you had to go through that and i have a genuine question but im not very good at explaining what im thinking so i apologize if my question is crude/intensive as that is not my intention and i will do my best. Would it be worth offering a choice to the victims incase it was a woman who did it or due to their parental relationships they have an association of protection from men? Perhaps male councilers could be in a separate nearby location if thats a possibility (i have no idea how any of this works)
He wasn't a counselor but a male who said " he was a transgender woman she was upset about being in the group." The other women have a right to be upset. I was sexual abused, starting at age five for years. No way way would I want a man there saying he is transgender. Some men get their jollies that way. Please let's have more compassion for the victims. I would hate for any other child or woman to go thru that. When are we really going to protect them instead of the ones doing it. I will never stop standing up for the ones that went thru the suffering. No one should say that if they haven't been thru it because you don't know what it fools like 😢😢😢

Recent events show us beyound doubt, that misogony is alive and kicking. We women need to focus on OURSELVES. Our kindness and empathy are our downfall. We must save WOMEN.
I’ve been raped multiple times throughout my 20s. I’m 31 and only JUST now started talking about these incidents in therapy. My heart absolutely BREAKS for that 60 year old woman. I had a little bit of a breakdown when everything clicked in my head that I had been raped multiple times. I’m almost certain she had something similar. That’s so cruel. I want to give that woman a hug so bad.
As a hairdresser I'm privileged to have lots of very personal chats with my clients who choose to confide and trust in me. Statistically, 1/3 of women are victims of sexual assaults, from my chats with my female clients... the numbers are so, so much higher but unreported. I hope you have some great friends, support and life is being kind to you. Take care.
Strange though isn't it that in the end Nicola Sturgeon found out that she did know what a woman is. Because you don’t send a "woman" to a male prison just because people complained.
I was a supporter of NS until she went down this path. Utterly put off her, even after her Covid management, for coseying up with the likes of MW. Stonewall diversity champion capture suckered in a lot of organisations.
Why are we allowing this behavior to continue…why aren’t people standing up together and fight back for normalcy? I have 2 granddaughters and I am petrified for their future. I know of no known group in my area that’s willing to stand up against this nonsense- NY,…yes I know but still
I am a 79 year old woman. I am Canadian. We are as warped here as you are. The rights of women are being stripped. Men are controlling us as never before. Women’s rights are gone!
@HellCatt0770 I keep speaking out a sharing. If I could do more, I would. I am a 74 year old disable widow . Please pray I can do more, for I am praying . I WILL never quit standing up for the victims ( children and women)
Because men once again are the common denominator of issues involving women. Trans-men largely are not problematic. Men create laws to benefit men. Misogyny.
We naturally think a rape crisis center, tlin fact the entire system of care for these women, is established to provide the utmost care for traumatized patients. Thats where youre wrong! If there is one man in a dress, then it's all about him and his superior victimhood.
You can't be politically correct and have morals at the same time. Because the two will always conflict. There is no room for both. And truth is never found anywhere near political correctness. Ever!
Thank you for this conversation. I both volunteered for Vancouver Rape Relief and met Kimberly Nixon. It would have been wholly inappropriate for a man, no matter his identity or fashion, to be a worker in the centre or crisis line. Nixon was offered other options to support the house, the work, and the women, but was not satisfied - I feel like the idea of being a battering ram for Nixon's own politics was MUCH more important to Nixon than helping women escape violence. Many thousands of dollars and hours of organizing and labour were lost to defend sex-based services and spaces which should have gone into helping women and their children break free.
I wanted to volunteer to support women who had been raped in a Scottish rape and sexual abuse centre, but the main thing was I didn’t agree with the idea that trans women were women and so I realised I couldn’t work for them. You basically had to agree with these values to help them in any way and was a shame but they are too bigoted to accept anything else even though I would never have even disrespected the personal worldview of a trans person regardless of whether I agreed with it or not.
Women who have suffered rape ansolutely must be allowed to be in a female only environment for as long as they need to - they surely need that 'space' to recover. A rape crisis centre (RCS) that is not female only has to be a contradiction in terms & not fit for purpose. Not fulfilling its purpose. The ex CEO conning his way into the Edinburgh RCS has to be a self serving act of deceipt - no matter how good his disguise. It looks like its more important to him (& the ERCS staff?) that he be accepted as a woman than to have an effective RCS. - wants to be accepted as a woman so much he'll undermine the RCS needed by actual women? - cares about actual women (whom he wants to be) so little he'll do that? A male forcing or sneeking his way into a RCS has to be suspect - can't be there for anything other than dark, self serving reasons. Sounds like UR better our of it.
@@fraserct533 I think that's the point - his personal rights are deemed more important than the safety and needs of the women the centre is supposed to be supporting.
I love that women overwhelmingly vote and approve of LGBT ethics and now that it's blowing back in your faces you're all upset! Try not digging yourselves into a grave next time, eh?
We need to have services that are biological women only, if women want to share space with trans cool but it should be an option not forced on them, provide some more services specifically for trans people than just lumping them in, they have different unique challenges
You would think that would be the most sensible thing, wouldn't you? But the trans activists don't want this because they see it as transphobic to separate transfeminine males from women in such a way. They want transfeminine males to become as indistinguishable from women as possible. That's why they want people to medically transition younger and younger, so that they "pass" more easily (passing, in case you're not aware, is the state of looking so convincing that people don't think you're trans when they look at you). And part of "passing" as a transfeminine male is having people not treat you any differently from women. That means being allowed into women's spaces, and no one batting an eye at it. And that _would_ be fine, if they actually applied that philosophy consistently. But they don't. They think transfeminine males shouldn't have to "pass" at _all_ to be treated just like women. They _want_ people who are visibly male, or "clockable", to be allowed into women's spaces. They will accept no less, as any less than that is "transphobic". For me personally, I am comfortable with sharing locker/changing rooms with transfeminine males (so long as they've had bottom surgery and are clearly making a genuine effort to pass. IMO these people are not a threat to my safety). But I know that other women are _not_ comfortable with that and they should not be forced to share the space with them. That's not transphobic, but even if it _is,_ why does that matter? Rape victims often do develop irrational phobias. That's the nature of trauma. To not be sensitive to that is deeply misogynistic.
@@pickupmygroceriespeasantTranswomen are women. They have every right to women's spaces. Your right wing reactionary rhetoric isn't going to change that.
It is disgusting that rape victims has been left alone and society has betrayed them so hard. There is no justice for rape victims anymore..i was molested and raped by my brothers godfather and this is disgusting.
And everybody's interested in men's welfare? I suppose that's why we have VAWG and 'Believe Women'. The innocent goddess syndrome, otherwise known as gynocentricism.
At the moment in England 🇬🇧 if a trans requests a session at a domestic violence centre (for Women) They Have To Let Him 😢 The Most Twisted Are Ruling Our Planet 💔🙏
Rather like the Duluth Model, the SCUM Manifesto, the experiences of Erin Pizzey in the 1970s and 1980s, 'Believe Women' and the feminists' chant of 'Gender Is A Social Construct for decades. Not to mention the Declaration of Sentiments.
admitting that your legal system has no way to properly punish a woman who commits rape isn't the win she thinks it is... not only does it short-change male victims, it gives the activist class something to latch onto
I heard that there was an app that was meant for women only where women could chat, date, make friends, buy and sell etc. No men were allowed on this app. The CEO and founder of the app, a woman, reported that atleast 1000 men per week were trying to access the app. 1000 men!!!
I am a man. I was raped when I was a child and it took years before I could talk to anyone about it. For a woman to go through the trauma which comes with having been raped and having to speak to a man is so wrong. Sorry this video is causing me to cry.
Ingratiating himself with the people in charge is such a red flag. You'd think after the Church scandals all these people would have been more cautious. Any time I see people wanting to advocate for gender exclusive spaces allowing in the opposing gender, it's a red flag.
This really was an amazing show never seen you before but I will be looking at more of your stuff. Being from Edinburgh this broke my heart it’s disgusting that rape victims are being treated this way. Thankfully JK and other people have pulled together for a new centre so victims can get the help they need. I have only one critique please learn how to say Edinburgh
@@FionaKumariCampbell Which parts of the Cass Report do you think would not be applicable in Scotland? The report is not a piece of law. It's an in depth 4y analysis of gender medical practices produced by an eminent UK medical expert - its conclusions have been accepted internationally as correct & valid by the majority of qualified opinnion. By NHS Scotland too, I uderstand. As such, it can be used as the basis for policy & regulation of many kinds, including laws, anywhere gender medecine is practiced.

It’s seems like that attention seeking trans people are more important than the rights and the well being of woman who suffered and are seeking help. There is sadly a reason why this Center has to exist and it should only be focused on the well being of the victims.
I don't know one woman, socially, professionally, etc ... Who wanted males (no matter how they identify) in private female spaces, female sports, etc. Or that sees them as a 'woman'. I have no clue how you came to that conclusion mate. Aren't the vast majority of the lawmakers/politicians who changed these laws male?
The world has gone crazy. However, one oddity stood out in what she said. Under Scottish law you can't rape someone if you don't have a penis. That may need to be corrected. Nothing to do with gender ideology. However, a woman can rape another woman. A woman can rape a man. It may not be as common as men doing it, however putting it into law that they can't seems dangerous. There are plenty of stories of women having sex with underage boys. I'm assuming that happens in Scotland as well. Men can be drugged. Men can be abused. I guess it may seem small in comparison to the other issues discussed. However, if you're fixing things. Why not fix everything.
I think feminists screeching for decades 'GENDER IS A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT!' may have something to do with it. The misandry here is astonishing. I'd love to be a historian examining this sick era in about 100 years' time.
i came up with a system to help people have good faith i call it the manifesting system bascly you are born with your manifesting gender if you want to change your gender you become aspirational then if you get a full transition a doctor signs you off and you become manifesting of that chosen gender it's designed to be an extra step that no one will see as well as a level playing field but it wolud really help places like this
The title of the video is annoying - please top calling everything bad people do “gaslighting”. This word has gotten out of hand. I know it’s all the rage among Gen Z, but just stop. Use words that are more accurate for what you’re trying to describe. The problem isn’t any alleged ‘gaslighting’. The problem is including men in women’s spaces. There. See how easy it is to accurately describe an issue without needing to use ‘gaslighting’ ?
Disagree. Gaslighting is a good description. Telling women victims who uncomfortable with men that their discomfort is not real or unfounded because this man is actually a woman is defintionitionally gaslighting. It is the denial of reality and making a person feel as of they are the insane ones.
How would you have people discribe making them doubt the evidence of their own eyes? Making people use female pronouns for males, compelling people to lie under oath in court? Forcing people accept Trans Identifying Males as women and girls? Demand acceptance of TIM competing in female sports?
IT IS GASLIGHTING 🔥! The Trans Activists are telling and forcing these women to BELIEVE and accept that these are biological females and invalidating their feelings and observations by manipulation. YES "GASLIGHTING" IS "Overused" but this pretty much IS GASLIGHTING (where an abuser manipulates the victim into questioning what their reality is)
Please Americans, when it comes to names and places names can you at least try to use the English language? Not your Us version? Edinburgh. 3 syllables not 4. That’s. cultural appropriation 😊
No it isn't, don't be ridiculous. You can believe in intersectional feminism without applying DEI policies. In fact, we do exactly that in the UK. DEI is illegal here because of our discrimination laws. But we still very much have intersectional feminism in our leftist politics.

Weren’t you listening? The crisis centres were set up by feminists in the 70’s for women ONLY. These feminists did not support trans inclusion in women’s spaces. What’s happened here is the destruction of a victory feminists had won for women who needed help.
Joan smith is entitled to her opinion on intersectionality. She may see it as an idea, or belief, but it’s a reality for unambiguous looking black women. White women can ignore racism, and black men can ignore sexism. However black women are forced to see and experience both.
It's both a belief and a reality. Because, as you have essentially just pointed out, there are people who don't believe in that reality. That's what's so unfortunate about the whole situation. It's just like how Flat Earthers don't _believe_ that the Earth is a globe. Doesn't make it any less a fact.
This situation sounds problematic only if you are of the opinion where all Transwomen are sexual predators. In fact, none are. Some men pretend to be Transgender after getting arrested, not before. No doubt hoping for a softer ride in prison. In no way are they genuine. Secondly, in what alternative reality does a CEO deal directly with victims? They only deal with staff and are responsible for the organisational operation of the entity, not the day to day routine. Fear mongering again.
No, it's problematic because the CEO's ideology meant female rape victims were turned away because they questioned the gender of someone non binary that worked there. Because they thought the person was male and it made them feel unsafe. This ideology also allowed a male sex offender who identified as non binary to use the centre. Literally putting rape victims in danger. Also, blanket statements like 'no transwomen are sexual predators' are just as ridiculous as if someone was to say they all are.
The victim is the NO one priority and nothing else matters and if a victim of rape needs a woman for help, that is the bottom line..the service is not for staff to feel included or accepted. Get another job if you cannot prioritise the needs of the victims. Delia Morris
The CEO has authority and power to shape services and provisions. He didn’t need to see victims. He could simply enact and implement policies, and procedures that were detrimental to vulnerable women and girls. His presence alone could influence them not to access the service. Therefore, the service might as well be defunct as it’s his playground, toy.
The CEO specifically said that rape survivors need to confront our biases, while getting post-attack help. 🤦🏾♀️ No. We need care and support, it's NOT the time to confront anything IN ADDITION to what we already had to confront!
