I browse twitter occasionally, but honestly, I think it's an horrendous place. Tonight the What's the Trans bloke is having a meltdown because women are telling him they don't want him around single sex female facilities. The rage fest proves the point, he's really scary when he gets going. How he ever convinced himself people would just pretend he's not a bloke I don't know. He's posting an enormous rant about Jon Snow! Jon Snow! Apparently this nerdy sexist incel pervy fiction is a morality play about why children must be disguised as the opposite sex as soon as possible. Surely the madness must peak soon? It's painful to watch.

This ideology is a lightening rod but we have to remember it is just another face of misogyny. Women have been silenced, disregarded, no access to rights, raped, robbed and killed along with their children, by men and without consequence for a very long time. It is part of the structural control mechanism and built in to enslave women to serve mens needs so they never see whose really oppressing them and they don’t rebel, by the patriarchy and at the cost of women and children’s bodies and lives. It’s extreme and obvious but it’s not new. Patriarchy cannot tolerate women being equal and sexualises in order to denigrate and disrespect us accordingly.

Remembering always men and their hand maids have been well trained from birth to stick together and provide cover to one another to suit and enrich themselves off women. Especially women who refuse to comply with their man ip u la ti on ‘s.

I made this simple statements on Twitter this morning and I feel so much better -

I don’t believe in gender ideology

I don’t believe that transwomen are women

I don’t believe children should be given puberty blockers

I don’t believe young girls should be given a double mastectomy

I have the right to my opinion as an adult human female

I think you might be right Jane Robertson, maybe the madness is peaking. There are loads of women out there who agree with us but are completely unaware this crazy war against women is going on, and are righteously horrified when they start to hear about it. No-one with an iota of common sense thinks it's ok to be sending death threats to people just because you don't want to hear what they have to say. I hope Graham is even now writing a biting satire which will achieve similar cult status to Father Ted & The IT Crowd, and can be shown once the madness subsides and we're allowed to debate issues rather than just try to shut down those you don't agree with.

Oh wow what a fabulous thought! The priesthood got gently mocked with Father Ted, soon it should be the TAs turn.

It is a fabulous thought, but I’m afraid it wouldn’t be aired in the current climate.

I'm not worthy of a death threat, doxing or my family's safety being placed in jeopardy. Not enough followers, you see.

OK, I'm being facetious but there's more than an element of truth to it.

If their threats don't receive any recognition from a public figure, they're not interested. God damn attention hounds. All of 'em.

True but so is Graham. Their modus operandi must be ALL females are viable targets. Men? Meh. Only if they can get some column inches from it 😉

Alessandra, your voice is missed on GC twitter - so clear, crisp and devastating in your replies to nonsense there, they had to cut you off somehow. [Insert Magdalen meme here]. Have you considered an alt?

I used to follow her on twitter (before she got kicked off). It's outrageous they way women are being silenced.
