The ice pop is 'human rights', and that's a transwoman between two women.

Oh I hope so Susan! It's starting to look that way. I'm cautiously hopeful!

Voldemort and Draco Malfoy. Who knew?

Though Malfoy senior is still doubling down and thinking that males can be women and anyone who questions this truth is transphobic. Clearly didn't learn anything after his time in Azkaban.

Have no respect for Jason Isaacs’ judgement. Mind you— he’s a brilliant actor.

Yes! 10 minutes of not feeling complete despair! Thanks JL. Great news from Florida.

The tide is turning, CB. I'm sure of it!

Brava, Badenoch! She's made my day.

Kemi is a blast of fresh air in the stagnant parliament, the dogs were hilarious and the cats made my day, thanks JL

You're very welcome! 😊

Sturgeon is a total cult. If she thinks this stops with Ash Regan (❤️) she’d better think again. Scottish women are angry and that usually doesn’t end well for the person upsetting them!

I’m not sure thats how you spell it ER

You get my drift though!

Thanks so much JL! Lots of fantastic news which is always cheering.

One thing I wanted to highlight re the Times article: I just don’t understand how otherwise sane people like Janice Turner can say “while a minority of male-born people truly need to transition to feel whole” as if this HAS to be true. No one (I hope) would say that “some people with bulimia need to have liposuction to feel whole” or “some people people with body integrity identity disorder need to have a limb chopped off or be paralysed to feel whole” (although insanely with the latter example apparently amputation has been recommended, — and not with good results).

I don’t see how the mental illness of thinking you’re the opposite sex is any different and so I don’t understand why we continue to push the ridiculous lie that this is the only mental illness where you affirm the delusion rather than treat it!

This is why I love Posie’s approach. She doesn’t entertain any of this bullshit and is the clearer better thinker (than these supposedly more intellectual types) for it. And she’d never use the mealy-mouthed phrase “male-born people”. Jeez! It’s just MEN! *sigh*

Hear hear. Though I would use the better analogy that some of those with anorexia (nervosa or bulimia) should be allowed to *starve* themselves and be helped by doctors to do so.

Not ONE person needs to be "treated" (socially or medically) as if they are the opposite sex. No surgeries or drugs should be allowed to do this. Its a waste of resources and it impacts the few NHS resources we DO have due to the long term, adverse health implications it will create.

Anyone saying they are the "opposite" or "no" sex is lying. And anyone supporting this in any form is aiding those lies. Which harms ALL society.

If society can accept, and allow and encourage the lie that the fundamental basis of ALL life on this planet doesn't exist (aka sex) and only one's perception does, then society is harmed.

“It's nonsensical. NOBODY transitions, there's no such thing, we stay the same sex just with bits lopped off or added on.” Exactly this! I don’t understand why this isn’t more obvious to people.

The Good News is what pulls me back from the Abyss. Thank you Graham! Without this I think I’d be totally despairing. What’s happening to Posy in the USA is evidence of just how dreadful that country has become. At least our current Government is pushing back. We still have hope.

Completely o/t but I’ve just been asked to download an app to view the glinner update , I tried but it wanted me to write ?

I’m a complete computer phobe

I'm also a total technophobe & am just ignoring said missive! 😉 So sorry you had a bad say, Petal. Take care xx

It's just a different way of viewing Substack posts which has some added features (the Chat). These don't appear to work on Android devices yet - presumably they do on iOS (apple).

I think everything else will continue to work as normal - email and browser.

Sorry you've had a bad day!

Love the kitty video. Who was it that said, we know the earth is round because if it were flat, the cats would have knocked everything over the edge by now...

Haha so true!

I think we really need a term to counter the conversation-stopper that ‘transphobic’ is. Maybe everyone pushing gender ideology should be called transfervent or some such.

Expand full comment

Biosex-phobic? Maybe sciencephobic? Or perhaps realityphobic.

Today I’ve been mostly wearing flat boots, black trousers, a touch of lipstick but no nail polish!

I’ll check with Eddie but…

OMG… I think today I’ve been a boy!

Same here. Wearing jeans and doc martens to top up the car's oil and water and check the tyre pressure. Guess I must be in boy mode today...

Thank you for the Fast Show ref :-)

Ice queen Sturgeon's calculated speech on how Ash Regan didn't 'comply'. A revealing choice of verb? Everyone can see how very vexed it makes Nicola when her lessers don't 'comply'.

Oh of course! I meant it to reflect Sturgeon's own condescension toward those she seems to believe exist as servants to her wishes.
