They must be lawyered up. As soon as we win one, they strike back with something as insidious as ever. I listened to a new Benjamin A Boyce interview with Australian feminist Sall Grover(Graham spoke with her three months back, as you know) who has started a new female only social network site for women of all ages, 17 and up, at home and abroad available only with iPod for women. No one with an iPod would be excluded who is female. Picture required but will not be used to exclude anyone but males. She also talks about the proposed law in Australia that would give transgenders and their supporters the right to send people to jail who oppose their activities. It's truly frightening. It's called something like Change or Suppression (Conversion) Practices Prohibition Bill, which she described as simply awaiting a rubber stamp. "Debate" apparently was by invitation and was done by stealth.

Most of the conversation is on the new site but she does spend a decent amount of time on describing this dangerous new development in law. Beyond Orwellian. In the 18th century there was a popular idiom among the elite: While we would now say something is completely unacceptable, they said something is outside of enough. Well, this is definitely outside of enough.

Just a bit of a boost to this campaign also:

10 days left - in my opinion as vitally important as Keiras case, striking as it does to the heart of crucial institutions.

Being born female is recast as a "congenital defect" - disgusting. These people truly have no shame! I don't know why I'm surprised, after all, it's capitalism on steroids. Literally, duh...

One hopeful thing is that Keira Bell's crowdfunder has so far made over 24000 pounds in 24 hours.

I think we'll see swift progress when ex transologists start directly suing the butchers and Mengele acolytes who coerce them into self harming.

Being female is a birth defect - yeah, that one goes back to Aristotle, and explains femicide to this day. How very progressive.

On the other hand, it's a good little earner for the folks selling "corrective surgery".

Good description so many anti women cults... so regressive and oppressive. Evidence we haven’t even scratched the surface. They know not what they do alright. The prospect that they do know and do it anyway is a horrible thing to contemplate. Continually sabotaging and incapacitating women as a class. Sheer male aggression and privilege exploiting all things of and by women. They can have the make up and high heels tho’, which were originally for males anyway.

Graham, not sure you caught this one (talking about "top" surgery:

Noelle Stevenson

She-Ra and the Princess of Power creator Noelle Stevenson came out as “nonbinary, or something like it” and told the world that they use any pronouns. It was a big year for Stevenson, as his first show had its extremely queer finale, he published a graphic memoir, The Fire Never Goes Out. and she also got top surgery.
