Absolutely this: "What matters is not goodness but the appearance of goodness." This encapsulates what trans rights activists are all about. Telling women what horrible, murdering bigots they are for not agreeing that men can magically change sex, all while uttering threats of rape and death to us. The gender ideology movement has been a very successful Trojan horse for misogynists to keep women down. Hell, they've even recruited members of our own biological sex to keep us oppressed.

Thank you Glinner and all the contributing writers for your courage and honesty in speaking about this insidious movement.

What a woman! Thank you Chimamanda Ngozi. I have been thinking this, but couldn't find the words:

“People who wield the words ‘violence’ and ‘weaponize’ like tarnished pitchforks. People who depend on obfuscation, who have no compassion for anybody genuinely curious or confused. Ask them a question and you are told that the answer is to repeat a mantra. Ask again for clarity and be accused of violence.

And so we have a generation of young people on social media so terrified of having the wrong opinions that they have robbed themselves of the opportunity to think and to learn and to grow."

Thank you Genevieve Gluck.

The truth has a grace all of its own. Rowling and Ngozi wield it like a velvet sabre.

Great article, I will look at Genevieve Gluck's blog. Chimamanda Ngozi is an amazing writer, but I could cry reading this.

the machete talk is rather disturbing. reading on and reading again rowling - its such an honest piece of writing from a place of experience - raw -from a survivor who wants to stop the suffering of others - its a shame the trans activists can't read it again (without upset and shouting) and learn that survival really is a fight for your life.

They are all insane. I believe the day will come when they be politely ignored. How dare they label good, kind, moral people like this bigots. It's all a ploy to take down those standing in the way of them raping women and children. That's all it is, in the end a strategy to disable the effectiveness of the most active and ardent protectors of those they want to rape.

Brilliant Article and I read CNA’s essay and agree with her. The truth will out. Always.

I agree with tomboy! The machete talk is disturbing. Couldn’t say anything better than what’s been said here already. Thanks, Graham!

I know. It's an incitement to violence, hate speech in its purest form. We are not murdering them, they are murdering US, the Dana Rivers trial is going on right now. This whole.community is that very exciting, dramatic new friend you at first find fascinating until you finally realize they are mentally ill, histrionic, destructive to self and others, and incapable of change. Then you just back away slowly then break into a run ...

It happens online by the privileged classes because offline women are being robbed, raped, beaten, bullied, neglected, bossed about and killed by the rest.

It's so easy to give away the rights of others, of vulnerable girls and women, when it affects the person giving them away not one jot 😖

Yeah, rich "feminist" types who know they'll never have to contemplate being in a public toilet with an unknown trans-identified male. Or a shelter. Or compete against one and fear having zero chance of winning or being severely injured. No skin off their nose.

The Biden Administration just gutted Title IX.

We just lost women's sports in the United States because...ladyfeels.

But it means they ARE discriminating against girls by allowing boys to compete in their category. Why do they think separate SEX categories were created? Did they think girls just weren't trying or training hard enough? Mind-boggling.

Having gender dysphoria or a gender identity, whatever that is, does not give you the right to access spaces and places and rights reserved for a disadvantaged group, be it women, minority groups, or those with disabilities. It's just wrong.

Perhaps if we could know in advance which days, months, are NOT reserved for the alphabet soup militia.

Hadley Freeman writing in today's Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/jun/26/people-have-told-me-i-am-on-the-wrong-side-of-history-but-i-still-want-to-be-their-friend - I suspect from her text that the Maya Forstater judgement has made a big difference.
