It’s still stunning to see proof of how women and girls just don’t matter at all in so many spheres of life. And we thought we had it sorted…..

Yes. I thought the ridiculous stereotyping was over, and having agency in our lives and having doors which were closed open up for us was here and yet here we are. Stereotypes are back and are worse than ever, and agency and opportunity disappearing everywhere we look. We really don't matter after all.

Not sorted, not even close, not worldwide anyway. Stunning for sure, though I see the pushing of "trans rights" (mainly men's rights under another name) as another backlash against the relatively few civil rights gains women and girls have made in the last 50 or so years. "Sex work is work" is another, the pop culturalization of pornography is another, surrogacy is another. They may not all be conscious backlashes, but they don't have to be.

i don’t think teachers should be allowed to present their gender identity to children in schools because it it removes the possibility for children to openly contest the belief system.

There are 2 high schools in my upstate New York area each having male teachers who recently started wearing dresses and make-up, claiming to be female. In protest, I made a poster showing the wives killed by men like this, who are now serving 25 to life in women's prison estates. I posted them on light posts near the school, on a Sunday evening after dark. I had to wait a couple of times for passersby get out of identifying range so as not to have witnesses. Because Kamala Harris made it possible for "Skylar Deleon" a triple murderer to have California tax payers fund John Jacobson Jr's "sex reassignment surgeries, it must be handled this way. My data on trans widows' experiences shows a large percent (over 1/3) are violent and attacked his wife before she left. I see no other way to tell the public. I will do it again. And again. And again . .

It’s psychological damage too, it coerces children into participating in lies, unreality and delusion and it teaches them to distrust the evidence of their own eyes. It also teaches girls that they’re second class citizens.

Exactly this. It erases all the usual safeguarding protocols. "Don't speak to a strange man... unless he says he's a woman" etc etc...

What happened to health and safety? Women are clearly being endangered by this madness - meanwhile a remark can set off a firestorm.

what do these f-ing sporting bodies thing will happen to women’s professional sport if the grass roots experience excludes and discriminates against women. Just so angry at this. I’ve become so intolerant now. Theres a show on netflix out now -which i won’t watch, with Will Ferrol and his trans friend who’s come out after years and he’s trans and thats a real

thing if you’re rich and talented enough. Fine dickhead dress how you like but don’t take whats not yours and be aware that your public example is putting vulnerable children at risk from this utter poison. And adults with mental health issues too. Just one big fucking wank fest for these rich men. Sick of it.

I've never been a conspiracy theorist before, but each time I read "backlash against feminism", a lot of the trans madness seems easier to explain... For example why should sports bodies allow women-only sports, now their growing popularity might even threaten the huge revenues from male sports? And what better way to destroy women's sports than by allowing men in? When it only takes a couple of male narcissists/psychopaths muscling onto a "women's" team, plus the risk of serious injury, for real women to REFUSE to play? Mission accomplished! Let women get back to the kitchen where they belong.

It's 100% a backlash against feminism - and ongoing backlash - enabled by the relentless smearing of feminism and feminists as 'man-hating' that has always kept true feminism at the margins of public debate and decision making. NSW is my home state and that picture of the women parliamentarians cheering the eradication of women's rights to stop indulging sexist men in their determination to diminish and dominate us and make a mockery of our hard-won rights, is truly depressing.

thanks Ms Terfin, I’ll get that on a t shirt i think! Bloody hell, i want to scream at how mental the world has got. Its like post smart phones the focus is all about the individual, its like bloody old testament looking at our society, you know those great empires that fell because they lost their way so fundamentally. Thats how this era is looking i reckon. Just collapsing under its own self belief and self worship. Oh well what do i know. Have a nice evening Ms Terfin.

And the insanity continues

Up here in scottishland the Scottish nonce party have announced there are 24 genders ( wtaf)

I obviously missed the email that our drug and alcohol deaths ( best in Europe , yay) have been sorted

Our education, social care , crime , poverty and our elderly dying of cold this winter have all been solved

We no longer need soup kitchens in Glasgow and the men’s clubs helping to address mental health don’t need funding anymore

So let’s spend the tax payers money pandering to this rainbow shite instead , shutting up now ( for a bit !)

Update ; a comprehensive piece about this shite now on wings over Scotland , far more eloquent than I ever could be

Well done Josh Seiter, brilliant. If everyone ‘is who they say they are’ why shouldn’t he be believed. What a bunch of hypocritical, narcissistic, brain dead imbeciles the delusion identified are. Don’t want to even say trans anymore, there’s no such thing.

Thanks as ever JL.

This is great from Helen Joyce.

It says… pronouns in schools, which we all know about but its post labour government and a reminder for all of us with new labour mps to get on the blower and pressure them to take their duty of care seriously

I am interested in body building, and started following the r/femalebodybuilding subreddit. Of course, a trans "girl" posted about how they haven't started hrt but want to build muscle without looking like a man!? And other trans "girls" appeared out of the woodwork with suggestions like focussing on their glutes. This just left me with a mental image of a man with spaghetti arms and a ridiculously huge arse..

The blatant sex discrimination just makes me so mad. I refuse to use the g word. No one can change their sex. Nowhere is safe for females.

Thanks as ever for your hard work, JL.

I do recommend the Andrew Gold interview with brave Ceri-Lee Gavin though it is very harrowing.

I just got booted off of X for tagging Dr. Ray Blanchard to tell him that his "case study" of father to son genetic link of "trans identity" has now evaporated, as Sam Kaye no longer identifies as Maya and says it is all a mistake. His father "identified" as female when he was about 10. Bob Withers, a UK therapist, said Blanchard and Cantor cited Kaye as the case study. Tough titties, as they say, Dr. Ray! Here is my explanation of how the studies like the Swedish Death Study (Dhejne, et al, Karolinska Institute, 2011) are conducted. Similar studies, involving huge sets of age matched controls are conducted on signs of instability and mis-diagnosis rates through examination of in-patient hospital stays (Finland) and insurance coverage for hormones( Germany), then ended, so presumed detransition of subjects. For each subject identified as "gender incongruent" there are 2 sets of age matched controls. One same sex, other opposite sex. This is to prevent criticism about not "matching identities" of the subjects. My explanation of the 40 TIMES HIGHER rate of suicide in post op natal females and 19 TIMES HIGHER rate of suicide in natal males

Ah goodness, tried to edit original comment because it contained an embarrassing typo, and deleted it altogether.

I’ve just read the ECB transgender rule policy out today. It says that are going to move to a model where eligibility will be determined according to whether an individual has undergone male puberty. That isn’t perfect, but it isn’t self ID. Have I missed something?

That's only in women’s international cricket ie at a professional/elite level. The vast majority of women cricketers play at a local/grass roots level and their teams will be forced to accept trans-identified males based on their self-declared 'gender identity'.
