I kind of feel bad for the feminists who tweeted images of their cut-up Labour party cards and new Tory membership cards, only to realise they're just as steeped in it, with trans activist MPs like Penny Mordaunt, Alicia Kearns and Crispin Blunt [who, when closeted in the 90s, argued against equal rights for gays, citing child safeguarding reasons] all pro-self-ID. Now that lump Johnson has got this Lord Herbert in, to trans-up Parliament. That's all well and good as long as they're not on all-women shortlists, but at the same time, it's such a yawnfest to have yet another person at the top, trying to create positions of power for gender-cultists. There really is nothing to vote for.

Even the TRG (moderate "left" Tories) say they believe in self-ID and claim the idea women won't have single-sex spaces is a myth because "for over a decade, trans women have already been using bathrooms and female changing rooms, enshrined in the Equality Act" Um no, GRC is not the same as self-ID.

Emma Corrin is very immature for a 25-year-old. A grown adult who thinks androgynous fashion is a magical groundbreaking thing that totally hasn't been done by more talented people than her, years before her birth...I predicted it before she became a they-person because she has one of the few stereotype pronoun twat haircuts. They is a pretentious cliche clone now. I hope she has fun with her classic non-binary dented ribcage and special they/them unicorn shallow breathing. Being a they-individual will protect you from rape, sexual assault, needing hormonal contraceptives, period pain and being pregnant right? You can identify out of all of these things if you have a certain haircut and call yourself they right??? RIGHT?

Oh, the Owen Jones tweet. 😆 It's difficult to know what month/week/season ISN'T all about trans people these day. FFS. Can I speak about women's rights and the threat to single sex spaces on, hmm, let's saaaaayyyyy Oct 3rd? Is that day free from special pride/history/remembrance celebration of zero people murdered for being trans? No? How about 2022? Anything open there?

That "chest feeding" picture. Are doctors actually telling women they can still feed an infant naturally after a double mastectomy? I thought chest feeding was just a different name for trans or NB women who feed their baby from the breast. 🤷 Please tell me this was a young girl who believed this, I just cannot imagine an adult thinking you could amputate a body part and still assume it will function. 😐

Yes, heartbreaking that women are doing this period, but what???

Reading Milli Hill's blog breaks my heart. People just go out of their way to act like childish bullies. How dare a birth campaigner recognise women as being central to her work. Shame on BirthRights, an organisation I previously had respect for. So many of the negative social media posts from people attacking her read as if they come from a place of profound jealousy. Makes me so angry

Bozza the Bullshitter ™ is a henpecked buffoon (apologies if that's deemed a sexist term around these here parts)

But it's true! And Carrie, sadly, is a fully paid-up LGBTIQAPD+ advocate 😕

How do I write to Liss Truss about her new Herbert?

Aren't the writers of Hollyoaks a bit young for Agitprop?

There’s nothing more annoying than a round of “what’s your name and pronouns?” Especially good the 99% of the time that everyone asks for the same he or she you would have guessed. Such a great use of everyone’s time. Of course respecting people’s time is not the point: the point is to require participation in an oath of fealty to the idea that one is entitled to demand that others use your chosen pronouns rather than those they observe to be appropriate, and that any mistakes in doing so are akin to physical violence.

Gah! I cannot get past the TIM fantasy tv show of the ginormous man named “Sally” beaten by violent imaginary “GC” gals in a WOMEN’S PRISON. For us USA folks, can you kindly let us know what date & time that episode aired and on which channel? (Channel 4?) The complaint form is detailed & demanding. Thanks so much 😊

Only the Tories could look at the current landscape of LGBT activism and decide that the best person to work with the Women and Equalities Minister is a very posh gay man who is a literal lord. I'm sure his heart is just overflowing with empathetic solidarity for poverty striken imprisoned women getting perved on by trans identified men and their her-penises. Liz Truss has got her work cut out for her.

JL - particularly depressing newsletter. Looking forward to the good news.

San Francisco used to project its image as the City of Love. No more. Yet another man taking the side of the biological men who think they can change their sex and telling everyone else that preferred pronouns need to be used. Why? I keep saying it, what does it matter what someone else calls you in a conversation you will probably not be taking part in or even knowing about.

If you are part of a conversation, your name will be used more often than not and pronouns will not be used.

If you think pronounced pronouns will change the world, you are wrong. And a heck of a lot of people from the general population will have to be taken to court for "misgendering". Because why? They simply do not give a toss about pronouns or even what you might think your gender is. They call it as they see it.

I live in San Francisco; I voted for Boudin, thinking he could bring some positive change to the city. There's currently a recall campaign petition against him, which I hadn't thought of signing. Now, I just might. Probably will...
