In case you’re thinking Edinburgh Rape Crisis has improved in the wake of all this attention –
Who[m] We Support And Our Services
Women only services
We have been trans inclusive since 2008. This means that we have a diverse group of women and non-binary workers and volunteers.
In a survivors initial meeting, the worker will give a clear overview of the services that we offer, including our trans inclusivity. This meeting will be held by a woman who has always lived as a woman and will include exploration of the type of support a survivor wishes and would benefit from. This conversation will also explore any concerns or preferences a survivor has around the support, and who they receive it from. The survivor is then supported by someone who meets their needs. It is important to us to provide safe access to all survivors of sexual violence, and we will continue to do so.
It’s fascinating, this sniffy from a great height pitying categorization of half the population as “women who have always lived as women.” In an organization that exists for the purpose of supporting rape victims.
Then the real spit in the eye:
Our women only times at our centre located at 17 Claremont Crescent are:
- Mondays 5pm -7 pm,
- Tuesdays 9am – 1pm,
- Fridays 9am – 12pm/noon .
Golly, nine whole hours every week. How very generous.
Surely that should be “women who have always lived as women only times”?
@1: What do you mean by that? Simply more nonsensical, confusing language?
Well you can’t expect them to change tack that quickly. Sandy hasn’t stopped smoldering from JKR’s bolt of lightning. They think that the First Law of Holes doesn’t apply to them because they can’t see they’re in a hole. They still believe they hold the high ground.
This “diverse group of women” includes men. This is exactly the kind of “diversity” that Beardy, Stand-up Comedian Soup-Boy is fighting for. He could go work for them if he gets let go from his university position. All he’d have to do is claim to be NB or female. Since their shared definition of “diversity” is so incoherently inclusive as to encompass people that fall outside of “women,” he would easily meet their (clearly) non-existent standards.
Goes to show that that spit in the eye is the whole point. Contempt, insult, and dismissal built into a fucking schedule. Slow clap.
They think they’re safe from scrutiny, accountability, and responsibility? They think JKR is done? How long before the committee that drew up this shitty little anouncement is sacked. And they don’t even know it.
GW @ 2 – See the second para of the first quoted passage.
