One of the most destructive consequences of ‘gender’ ideology? Alongside legions of bewildered children and damaged young people — we’ve lost any hope of fair political representation. It’s gone up in the smoke of the ‘gender’ war. ‘Gender’ loons of the left have handed over any real democratic choice to to the ultra-right wing loons. Now we have the likes of Marjorie Taylor Green in America, a woman who cheered on January 6 crimes, gaining acclaim for standing up for biological reality. It’s scary. The rotten reach of 'gender' ideology is almost beyond comprehension.

That is the result of the "anyone who disagrees with me is a nazi" rhetoric.

Normal people don't dare to disagree anymore.

We have no political representation in the U.S. All branches of our federal government -- and way too many state governments -- are filled with no one but gangsters. We have a family in Maine by the name of Mills: one of them is governor, her brother is involved with a major utility company which is why she supports a horrid power transmission line, and the last heads up a supposed health care group allied with an insurance company. Easily bought, cheaply paid for, and will do whatever they are told.

gender ideology has flourished and grown due to the lack of awarness this PR effort has been cultivating which is a main part of their strategy. the men who designed this effort knew from the start their policies were very unpopular, except with a core group of dummies and devils. its unclear if these policies can survive greater awareness that comes by the ideology's success. since every gender biz stat and claim is a lie, it doesnt seem the current state of affairs can last. what the gender biz is doing is rushing to create enough life long lab rats that governments will be forced to accommodate this group of victims. but what will also happen is the # of complaints will increase which also is a cautionary tale. the gender biz hopes to keep all these sufferers quiet with their media bans and gatekeeping under the guise of transgender style guides. as a life long democrat, i am temporarily homeless. i hope dems will come to their senses. perhaps after they lose elections over this they will. in the meantime i will be watching as state after state bans child sterilization, its fought in the courts and the public learns what a fraud this all is.

Ah thanks for GNS as ever, JL. Such a relief 😎

Loved Yorkshire white rose 😀

I went back to Python’s 5 minute argument in an otherwise heavy duty post last night!

The amazing thing about the Tavistock’s denial of the existence of e-mails is that e-mails are mentioned In Hannah Barnes’ Time to Think’!! Presumably the Tavistock haven’t bothered to read that?

Will cross post later 😎

Thanks again

Yay. Sharron Davies is a goddess. Well done Terfy people for giving it to this Madrigal chap. He met with the Terfy people under duress! LMAO. I'm all for this duress. Is it pink with ruffles? Good news about cycling. And JHB always delivers on this issue. Not a massive fan, but she doesn't take any nonsense from the anti-women brigade. I'm also then, by this plonker's definition a nasty right wing person. 🤣 Person, note, not woman. These idiots must keep talking because each time they open their mouth holes, they're doing our job for us. We thank you, nutters.

Yes, there's much JHB and I would disagree (vehemently!) about but on this she has been brilliant. All power to her!

Expand full comment

But it would be civil and reasoned disagreement and you would probably be able to have a drink with her afterwards and get on quite well. This art of debate and discourse is being lost. Sarah Phillmore wrote an excellent and perfect summation of this idea in her substack today. Worth a read.

Yes, being a grown-up instead of a mouth-foaming narcissist, I'm capable of hearing views which differ from my own without needing to assault or abuse people! Sometimes, I even digest and reflect on said views... that's how I became a TERF! ;-)

And how amazing that a cross-party group met with trans widows and children of transitioners. This has got to move the needle, surely. Listening to that side of the issue, getting the perspective and 'lived experience' from the horse's mouth. That is such encouraging news.

Thank you, JL for our weekly tonic.

I do hope Victor Madrigal-Borloz will truly take women's concerns on board.

Off to listen to a bit of Julia Hartley-Brewer - so glad she's still plugging away for us.

Yes, I doubt JHB and I would agree on many issues but she's been brilliant on this. She has been uncompromising and unapologetic in calling out gender BS from the start.

Expand full comment

I do wish they'd stop calling it gender affirming care and call it what it is: gender denying bodily harm.

On another note, Austin Killips should lose his award AND the money for repeatedly trying to push one of the other cyclists off the track. Like he hasn't cheated enough already!

Expand full comment

Doesn't gender-affirming care sound benign? And people buy into it while knowing absolutely zilch about it. My partner calls it PROFIT-AFFIRMING care.

Too bloody right! Profit-affirming child abuse. Leave your consciences at the door, Doctors!

Most of them have no consciences to leave at the door! Surgeons have the highest number of psychopathic characteristics of any profession.

A further good news note on Cycling from The Telegraph - the trans omerta is over and people are speaking out:

'Michael Engleman, race director of the Tour of the Gila, has issued a withering rebuke to cycling’s governing bodies after biological male Austin Killips’ victory in the women’s event sparked a global furore, warning: “This could kill the sport.”

It marks the most dramatic intervention yet by a cycling executive in the transgender debate, raising the alarm that both female athletes and sponsors are walking away. In an impassioned interview, Engleman argues that unless the International Cycling Union (UCI) acts decisively on the issue of those born male competing in female races, the crisis will intensify.'

Expand full comment

Yes, I saw that! I think the cycling authorities are going to see sense sooner rather than later!

Expand full comment

I was heartened by the interview - not just for cycling, but because it was another example of someone speaking out publicly and calling for others to do so too. There does seem to be a growing wave of people ignoring the shrieks of 'bigot' and 'transphobe'.

What is depressing is that by 'someone' I mean a man. Women have been speaking out but we've been ignored - I thought we'd made more progress than this.

Don’t know how to contact you directly - just want to share -From downunderer, good news in that it has attracted some attention, Speak Up for Women has made a great response to questions from one our media organisations but knowing it would be spliced and quarterised decided to release the brilliant answers publicly https://www.speakupforwomen.nz/post/responses-to-media-questions

Talking of nasty, I hope JHB asked him about his intimidating and abusive behaviour towards a female MP when she was trying to speak in the HoC (can’t remember if it was Rosi D or Miriam C). He should have been chucked out

I think it was Miriam C. And I remember he had to apologise after accusing JKR of 'weaponising' the male violence she's suffered.

It's so odd, I've just watched that interview. His style is to say the opposite repeatedly, wearing down the interviewer or person he's debating. Call it Stonewalling. Even saying 'she hasn't' in the middle of another of his sentences, hoping to cleverly slip that by, just to make sure he got the last word and 'win' his point. Despite him being factually wrong. It's a very childish way of interacting like a very small child with a full nappy stamping and insisting and that cycle of 'she has, hasn't, she has, hasn't, has has has!' or 'did! didn't! did! didn't! did' thing you can get stuck in. But this is an adult and supposedly is representing his constituents. It's very unpleasant and I find it an abusive style of engaging. Just like his foaming rants in the Commons.

He managed to stay physically calm but with a few key tells. His very small dismissive toss of the head, eyerolls and mouth tuts at a few points says a lot - another damn uppity woman bigot blethering on like I care. He can't bear that she disagrees. Each time Julia has to hold her boundary and repeat 'she has!' (as in KJK distancing herself from right wing or 'nazi' attendees at public protests). He is lying and spreading nonsense with an apparent sense of impunity.

Maybe a petition needs to be started on the UK government site demanding a blanket policy that all sports in the UK must have a biologically female only category.

Sorry you did say a biological female

I know 'biological female' is a tautology, but I thought it was a good idea if biological was added just to make sure the gender cult doesn't twist it to include men.

Saying the same thing twice! In this case, female is already a biological category so there's no need to say 'biological female'. (Can you tell I used to be a teacher?? Haha!)
