.@wesstreeting glad to see you are now openly critical of the gender ideology that led to the atrocities against children outlined in the Cass Report. I am open to accepting an apology from you. In 2008, when you were NUS President, I was no-platformed, alongside 5 fascist groups, for 'transphobia'. I contacted you and asked for your help. You gave none. I asked you to condemn those that had orchestrated the no-platforming, and you refused. Have you any idea of the reputational damage this caused me? How it gave others permission to no-platform, denounce and defame me? How it meant that I could be slandered by other organisations, and so many, many universities around the UK and elsewhere? If this sounds bitter then good, because I am.
@bindelj From memory (16 years on, so correct me if I’m wrong!) I replied to confirm that you weren’t on NUS’ no platform policy and as this was in relation to a motion passed by the autonomous women’s campaign I was not empowered to overturn it (not least as a male president!).
@bindelj @wesstreeting Thank you for leading us all here Julie. Without you, most of us wouldn't have had a clue what had been happening to children who were far too young to have the critical faculties or agency to consent 💜
@bindelj @wesstreeting 2008, just after the GMC trial. I think we both got you into this trouble. From 2003, you did a unique, positive thing & then you were punished… disgraceful..
@bindelj @wesstreeting You are one brave, brave woman Julie ❤️
@bindelj Jesse and I have been talking about our anger and bitterness in a group chat privately. You're entitled to yours. It's been shit for you for so long and it's deeply unfair. Chin up sister 💜✊🏼
