Here’s a handful of the good news stories from the gender beat this week. Enjoy! Sex Matters In Nebraska In Nebraska, proposed legislation, Legislative Bill 575, would divide school bathrooms, locker rooms and sports teams by biological sex not ‘gender identity’.
thank you for this. once more your positive news gives me hope when things here are so far gone. i wonder if there will ever be positive news from new zealand?
You know who really believes a man can become a woman? A very small child if you tell them so. A severely mentally-challenged person. A severely mentally-disturbed person. That’s it.
The thought of any teachers or otherwise filling my little boys' heads with this bullshit makes me so angry. They're only two and one, but it won't be long before they're heading off to school, and it truly pains me to imagine them being taught this bollocks. I'm praying the backlash has properly kicked in by then and all this crap has been tossed in the dustbin of history where it belongs.
I hope so. I wish I could feel we truly had in my bones, but I'm not yet convinced. Too many people still have their heads in the sand or are just too cowardly to speak out. I mean, where are all Graham's former colleagues and co-writers? Where is Arthur Mathews and Neil Hannon? Why isn't Kathy Burke speaking out in defence of James Dreyfus?
And young people who are vulnerable, confused and distressed about their identity and where they belong. They might feel there's nowhere, so they're going to be very alone too. Anyone feeling this way is open, unguarded to all kinds of influences, particularly groups with some kind of cause or belief. The gender identity cult that's developed is perfect in this respect. The people who belong to it can meet every unmet need, including offering love and protection. They might believe anything if it means they'll be allowed to stay and be part of something. And that might actually believe that men can become women, in the same way they were transformed.
This is the nutty bit, I do believe the Westboro Baptist Church have been helping Irish teacher Enoch Burke in his fight against his school's woke policies.
A great week, thank you. As I mentioned in another post, the Bulgarian government as voted against self ID. I know Bulgaria is a tiny country but it's just good to know that not all EU countries have been captured and, unlike Poland, this vote is not driven by a religious ideology, but purely because it contravenes their laws on women's rights.
Finally, the NYT are beginning to see that no matter how woke they've become, it's never going to be enough for the trans red guards.
My god that young Boxer is such a darling but, are the cats working for Sam Brinton?
After weeks of hard work, I finally finished Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, in Bulgarian. Inside, I read plenty of examples on the importance of friendship (even the inept Neville earns points on this), hard work, collaboration rather than competition, self-sacrifice, etc... A writer who tells you how exciting it is to go to a library to do some research is, in my view, a most inspiring genius.
Did anyone else look up Dr. Marci Bowers, the surgeon who remade Trinidad, Colorado into "gender clinic town?" I just found out we were at University of Wisconsin-Madison at the same time, back when his name was Mark. So, he married a woman, Ann, who had their three children. She let herself be gaslit into a dead marriage. "Marci" is still married to Ann, who stayed in Seattle and raised the kids. "Marci" came out, in typical fashion, shortly after the birth of the third child. We know the marriage is dead because Dr. M flamboyantly has affairs with women. This is the famous Jazz surgeon, who had to have a do-over. At least Rachel Levine's ex-wife could get out. Money talks, if anyone knows a trans widow needing her story to be told, please:
While admiring of Ash Regan for voting against Sturgeon’s disgusting GRR bill, I can’t back her for First Minister. She is above all a divisive nationalist whose policies are ruining my beloved country. She has stated that in any election (not referendum) 50% + 1 vote will be sufficient to declare independence. And so the single-issue SNP continues its divisiveness.
Humza Yousaf, or Youseless as he’s known up here. A man who has failed in every post he’s held in Holyrood. A joke really but pliable for Mr and Mrs Sturgeon!
100% Agree. We need to remember Sturgeon has left the office of FM but not Holyrood so the plan will be to install a useless idiot who can be manipulated.
Of note despite the witch hunt, Yousaf is a Muslim man whose take on Gay marriage is exactly the same as Kate Forbes.
I would prefer to see Ash Regan as FM who was the only one of the three to grow a spine and vote against the GRR.
Independence is not coming down the line anytime soon. Sturgeon damaged the movement almost beyond repair. We can vote again in a couple of years time for the party of your choice, meanwhile we need Self ID unequivocally gone and Ash is the only one promising that.
A plus is that the odious Patrick Harvie says if Ash gets the leadership, he and the Scottish Greens will 'walk'......Yippee!!!!
Yippee indeed. I'm sure I heard Harvie saying it's only been 18 months they've been in power. In that time they have destroyed the reputations of so many. Do you know what happens to the power-sharing agreement if they hold to that threat? It seems a bit empty and reflective of this 'style' of governance being a series of exchanges of threats (empty or not).
It seems to me that J K Rowling’s blasphemy against the transgender church wasn’t nearly as aggressive as it should have been:
“I know and love trans people...”
And the cringing obsequiousness of those caught in the celeb trap is evident. Translation: “Of course this latest shite is utter shite as it always is but if I don’t pay lip service to it at least a little but then I will be strung up.” Which is ironic since JKR was strung up anyway cf. the screaming placards in the rent-a-rad protest above.
So, the gears of the machine slickly whir into action:
“Rowling’s words led to a “revolt” among the staff at one of her publishers, an outcry from some of her most ardent fans, and a torrent of negative headlines in news outlets around the globe.”
And the scurrying would-be celebs eagerly declare their compliance:
“Actors who had grown up on the “Harry Potter” film sets—people she had known since they were children—distanced themselves from her.”
After which the witch hunt sprang fully into effect with an increasingly hysterical competition to see who could come up with the most vicious ban on JKR and thereby prove their loyalty credentials to the woke overlords. And Gretchen Felker-Martin leading the goon squad.
But after ploughing so far into the "Free Press" article, I wonder if it isn’t an even worse indication of this gender psychological manipulation as it adopts the customary “reasonable” tone and urges us to speak to “people on all sides of this conflict” since “I remain a believer in the power of conversation” because “this conflict is even more complex than I had imagined”. And “talking—and listening—will help us find the path forward”.
Clearly an enormous and well-funded operation has magicked this utter non-issue into existence.
Yes, her initial rebuttal was weak but I think at the time, she was overwhelmed by the amount of hatred and sought to explain herself. There is no way those activists would accept a sensible explanation. She does know better now and is happy to put the boot in.
There is always the possibility that JKR actually meant what she said: that she personally knows some people formerly named "transsexuals" and doesn't want them to think that her hostility to aggressive transactivism is aimed at them too. Such people have no illusions about their biological sex, are mostly horrified by TRAs and feel very ill-served by the violent, misogynist and delusional nature of the whole trans movement: which creates a predictable public backlash against it that affects them too.
Thanks as always, JL! I look forward to these updates. My hope is that gradually the Good News supplement will get bigger, while the War on Women will shrink and shrink. A woman can dream.
Good for Rowling: walk softly -- and carry a big fucking stick. And don't be overly "nice" about using it.
Though as a minor quibble ... 😉, those "locker rooms" are going to be segregated, in effect, by genitalia and NOT by "biological sex".
By standard biological definitions, to have a sex is to have functional gonads of either of two types, those with neither being, ipso facto, sexLESS. Kids generally don't ACQUIRE a sex until they hit puberty:
thank you for this. once more your positive news gives me hope when things here are so far gone. i wonder if there will ever be positive news from new zealand?
Hope so, Cara!
I agree. Looking over to England from New Zealand I really wish I could be with you guys helping the cause.
You know who really believes a man can become a woman? A very small child if you tell them so. A severely mentally-challenged person. A severely mentally-disturbed person. That’s it.
The thought of any teachers or otherwise filling my little boys' heads with this bullshit makes me so angry.

I'm praying the backlash has properly kicked in by then and all this crap has been tossed in the dustbin of history where it belongs.
Let's hope so. Think we might be reaching a tipping point, don't you?
I hope so. I wish I could feel we truly had in my bones, but I'm not yet convinced. Too many people still have their heads in the sand or are just too cowardly to speak out. I mean, where are all Graham's former colleagues and co-writers? Where is Arthur Mathews and Neil Hannon? Why isn't Kathy Burke speaking out in defence of James Dreyfus?
I’m in quite a lot of pain tonight but that made me laff
I’m fine , taking painkillers and off to my pit 😴
Ah take good care of yourself, Petal. Hope you're on the mend & feeling better xx
I hope tomorrow brings more laughs.
And disturbed people severely brainwashed by a gender cult, which denies the reality of biological sex.
And young people who are vulnerable, confused and distressed about their identity and where they belong. They might feel there's nowhere, so they're going to be very alone too. Anyone feeling this way is open, unguarded to all kinds of influences, particularly groups with some kind of cause or belief. The gender identity cult that's developed is perfect in this respect.

And that might actually believe that men can become women, in the same way they were transformed.
Ah, Mr. Welles..
It was the fuck around of times, it was the find out of times...
The podcast is so good. Westboro Baptist Church and Genderists both hate Jo Rowling- Shero.
And they both hate her because they think magic is real.
😍
This is the nutty bit, I do believe the Westboro Baptist Church have been helping Irish teacher Enoch Burke in his fight against his school's woke policies.
Mad, mad world.
Oh, that gorgeous dog at the end.... xxx
Thank you for all the good news.
Have you seen this, JL? And Graham too? from 'Gays Against Groomers' UK - Really interesting.

It's so difficult for you. Kate Forbe's Christian beliefs might go against her being chosen too.
What are you left with?
Humza Yousaf, or Youseless as he’s known up here. A man who has failed in every post he’s held in Holyrood. A joke really but pliable for Mr and Mrs Sturgeon!

Not sure which is more gaslighting - Men calling themselves Women or EU membership calling itself Independence.
