I’ve been trying to publicise the issues in bed with the belief that TWAW through Facebook. People just don’t want to know or engage. I can count on one hand the number of likes or comments I get for anything to do with this. Not that I’ve got a huge number of Facebook friends, but I’d probably get 50 likes for a picture of a glass of Prosecco.

Yes, I'm exactly the same. I get endless likes & comments when I post amusing cat photos etc but when I post anything vaguely GC, even stuff you really cant argue with like the paedophiles being referred to as "she", it's only ever the same handful of people who react. But I think the vast majority of people do agree, they're just scared to be seen doing that.

It’s so insane. Since when we’re people worried about what they said about paedophiles? Since they came under the (LGB)T+ protection!

Totally insane. The cognitive dissonance required to call these predatory males "she" is off the scale.

I admit, I've started to say "what do you mean when you say 'trans'?" in these situations. And I'm finding out how VERY different our many varied meanings of the word really are.

This is how they're sneaking the pedos in 😕

Yes, I think that's the problem. Some well meaning people still think 'trans' means Hayley from Corrie, not Jonathan Yaniv.

Yeah. Or they might personally know a trans person who might be lovely, and can't accept that there are men abusing the acceptance without exception mantra. No one wants to be unkind but women have frankly had enough and are firmly asserting their boundaries.

How are women in vulnerable spaces meant to know which trans-identified males are nice and which ones aren't? Self-id means we can't object to males in our single-sex spaces if they say they're women.

I met a friend's daughter for the first time yesterday. She has a good transgender friend and she refuses to hear the other side of the story. Her mother said to me that it was best not to talk about TRA abuse of terfs in front of her. It is a struggle.

...I just connected the most blatant dots right in front of my face.

*This* is why they hate it when we say that words have meanings.

I had thought it was about fighting for the definition of words like: mother, woman, female, etc. ...but now I see it's not just that they're trying to erase us (women): they're trying to erase themselves too.

Perhaps they can't handle clearly seeing themselves for who and what they are. And we're being punished.

...aaand it's saké time.

Some? Try a sizeable minority, if not majority. Because why would they? Unless your workplace is in Stonewall's pocket there's no reason why anyone who's, say, over 35 and not a feminist should know; the media never explicitly references they're cocks in frocks.

I recall a VERY awkward conversation, ahem, enlightening my mother shortly after I had been red-pilled 😁

To say she was livid wouldn't do it justice. All these years my mum's been a TERF and neither of us knew it! 😜

I got called transphobic and terf by a bunch of Irish female authors and writers who called my views far right and disgusting when I posted the gript article about Barbie Kardashian getting into the women's prison in Limerick.

They didn't give a shit about the poor women in jail, the entire focus was TWAW no debate. Three of these women have won awards for their books. It beggars belief how they can be so wilfully stupid just cos they want woke cookies from their fans. I have no respect for them.

It enrages me how easily women can throw their sisters under the bus. Safe from their comfortable, privileged existence where they'll never have to share a cell or a refuge with a dangerous man. Shame on them.

Stonewall and other LGBT organisations have been very successful in attaching the T and the general public (who haven't done any in-depth research) will go along with the trans rights narrative being most oppressed ever etc, high suicide and murder rates (untrue), and they will be largely ignorant to gay and trans having very little in common regarding goals, concerns, and beliefs. There is so much education that needs doing, It's monumental.

Interesting to look at GC v TRA tactics. GC want people to read both sides, get informed, ask questions, seek the truth, criticize, and make up their own mind. TRAs are mainly about shouting mantras, no debate, name-calling, silencing, threats, and bullying.

Honestly, I read it and rolled with it because the idiom fits.

Special interest groups, rich pervs, pharma sales, charities/rights groups like Stonewall and Planned Parenthood looking to change tack now that their original mission is mostly met, politicians looking to ride a wave... they pretty much ARE in bed together...screwing women and kids.

And simple facts about it, and connecting the dots for people, is like taking a cat for a walk on a leash.

Yup, same here, Louise. And, I'm at present back in Facebook Gulag for commenting on how Insanity is being sold as Sanity too. I was offered a get out, by admitting to FB that I'd posted 'hate'. I refused. Will do my time with pride, for truth must never be murdered. I've actually posted piccies of quiches and yes, you get 'likes' for them. Most couldn't even see what I was getting at.... Freedom of speech is dying on the internet, and FB is dying the fastest, so many folks now banned, or in The Gulag, or barely any 'likes' or 'shares' at all.

I was on a FB page (Clash against the right) and someone shared a bloody Pink News article equating gender critical people with anti BLM right wing movements. By simply writing that those two issues were separate, I got called a TERF by some prick. I get ever so annoyed that good left-wingers and anti-racists are still either serious misogynists or uninformed enough to think that any woman wanting a debate deserves to be called transphobic. One of the contributors even claimed that the LGB Alliance was a racist, homophobic, transphobic movement. I should have simply written' Alison Bailey' in response but I know those twats wouldn't bother looking her up. They don't try and read anything longer than a twitter feed. I thought we'd moved on from the days when Rock against Sexism happened in response to the misogyny of Rock against Racism but more than 40 years on, I still find the same women-hating crap among people who should know better.

"Trans rights" are the perfect vehicle for rabid misogynists to vent their woman-hating. Especially among lefty men, I've found. I had a massive row with a friend of a friend on friend on Facebook quite recently. He was whining that transwomen should be included in International Women's Day. I pointed out the innumerable trans days & weeks & LGBTQIXYZ events there are & said that IWD is for females only & transwomen are male. Of course he was outraged & screamed "transphobia!". I tied him up in knots (of course! 😁) & he couldn't come up with any decent arguments, just called me names & then flounced!

Did you hear the interesting interview with Prof Jonathan Haidt (social psychologist) on PM/R4 re Benjamin Cohen's sub optimal interview on Today?

I'm sure you kicked him into touch but "rights" already puts us on the backfoot, as does "transwomen". They're DEMANDS (which is good alliteration AND we don't give wanker xdressers an inch of *women*). I know you know, though 👊 😜😘 #JustSayin'

got called transphobic on Rick O'Shea's bookclub Facebook group - Rick has posted three times about how much he is enjoying Detransition, baby and he's doing it to piss off radfems. The first time he did it, a bunch of us pointed out that the author's fantasies are sissy porn and that he didn't feel like a woman until he was slapped hard by a man. Someone else explained AGP. Rick deleted the thread and said 'hate speech wouldn't be tolerated' His sycophantic fans thanked him for not allowing hate on his feed which enraged me. I replied that since Maya Forstater's landmark case last week, gender critical/sex is binary views are a protected characteristic under the Equality Act and we do not have to put up with being called bigoted or transphobic any longer.

He deleted my comments and did a new post about how much he was enjoying the piece of shit book.

This time I wrote a balanced review of the book and still managed to get sissy porn in. Ricky baby hasn't deleted it yet. If just one person googles sissy porn and thinks differently about 'they just want to pee', my work is done.

Regarding trans inclusion in sport: "The inclusion of trans women athletes, specifically those who have transitioned after puberty, raises issues of fairness and safety in all sport."

I worry about the caveat of 'after puberty' because this could be used to justify or support the use of puberty blockers in children. That if we stop boys from becoming changed by testosterone, they will be like girls in every way meaningful in sport, and therefore no advantage detectable, and voilà, fairness. Only it isn't very fair, is it. Getting young boys to stunt their growth and cause irreversible side-effects in the name of trans ideology. And we are the baddies here? Not. A. Chance.

Yes, I noticed that & found it deeply concerning. I *hope* that the phrase has been included to reference the irreversible changes brought on by male puberty. But it is a very worrying inclusion.

Are these judges letting off dangerous paedophiles willfully ignorant or willfully stupid? Perhaps we need to start compiling a register of officials colluding with the trans madness where it has a detriment to others, or is this too Stasi?

Expand full comment

These officials, magistrates, judges whatever, are public servants and should be accountable. They make their pronouncements in open court. So I would argue there is no comparison with bugging people's homes, secretly surveilling every aspect of their lives and all the other stuff the Stasi did. Btw have you seen 'The Lives of Others'?

I think one of the problems is that Stonewall have infiltrated most government departments and even the Ministry of Justice is part of the woke circus 🤡.

Expand full comment

Yes, this exactly. Over here in Canada, TRA ideology has infiltrated all levels of government and academia, as well as the medical profession. You'd be hard-pressed to find an expert prepared to present GC evidence in court. So the judge doesn't have a contrary viewpoint to consider, and has no choice but to accept the evidence. I'm hoping the Keira Bell decision will change that.

It's simple, really: males' bodies produce (or have the potential to produce, or have ever produced) the male gamete, spermatozoa. Females' bodies contain ova. End. of. story.

tl;dr—have you ever ejaculated? Then you are MALE. Stay out of women's and girls' sport, changing rooms, and bathrooms.

To be fair, some females can ejaculate when aroused. Erm... so I'm told! But, joking aside, yes, you're absolutely right. Male reproductive system? Then stay out of the ladies'.

Expand full comment

Respectfully, beg to differ. Women do not actually, technically “ejaculate.” (Urban myth, probably from porn vids.)

“Ejaculation is the discharge of semen from the male reproductory tract as a result of an orgasm. It is the final stage and natural objective of male sexual stimulation, and an essential component of natural conception.” Wikipedia

Women releasing fluid (usually urine or lubrication) during sex or arousal are not releasing semen or sperm. Ejaculation is a distinctly forceful event, designed to get the little swimmers up twd the egg.

Women don’t ejaculate.

Simply ask the offender: “Dude, have you ever [*your favorite slang for ejaculate*] ?? Then you are not FEMALE.”
