Gosh it's almost like "misgendering" is actually just a power wielding device for ideologues and not the basis of psychological welfare for truth denying biology-phobes!
They’s pronoun demands are as consistent as a male-identified-as-woman’s menstrual cycle. As contradictory as a Willoughby cervix. As inconsonant as Elliot’s testicles. Could go on …
BWAHAHAHAHA 'sits on her balls'. DEAD. This is brilliant. Her book won't be able to have any quoted reviews because she's a they! My eyes have rolled out.
Hard to keep up with this mess... They/Them just replied to Julie Bindel "I think those are the reviews of my last book."... shouldn't that be "We think those are the reviews of our last book"? What a butchery of the language.
Skirt Go Spinney had that at the end of one of her YT vids. Love it! Thanks for spreading it, as it’s 100% applicable here. 👏 (I just like good sayings, but they seem to mainly have impact if they can be attributed to a famous person. Oh well.)
This might be slightly off topic, but I was watching 'Stay Close' on Netflix. There is a character called Harry Sutton, clearly a man, played by Eddie Izzard. Now that's a BAFTA if ever I saw one! She's sooooo convincing as a man despite her female pronouns on Wikipedia!
I loved his comedy. Saw him live a couple of times, though I live in New Zealand. Read his memoir. Baulked at the toilet scene where he was outraged when three teen girls reacted with screams when they saw him in there in a dress. But forgave him for that even so. Now he's a trans ally, adding cred to their evil cause, all to pander to his and their vanity. Can't forgive him that. He's no longer funny to me.

Who's have thought it?
Orwell definitely did.

Don’t stop - very amusing 😊
Maybe we could change the UK phrase "That's the dog's bollocks" to "That's the Elliot's bollocks"? ;-)
Doh!
I am perfectly happy to call her by her desired pronouns if she can prove that her body is ordered to produce both sperm and eggs.
We used to call people who insisted they were multiple people as in THEY schizoid.

Is this like the royal "we"?
Mitchell and Webb had a brilliant sketch of the problems of changing pronouns lol 🤣
Hail Caesar!
Hail Nicolas!

Here's my latest favorite quote (found on Spinster):
Tolerance will reach such a level that intelligent people will be banned from thinking so as not to offend the imbeciles -- Dostoievski
And isn't that our world in a nutshell!
Just for the record, this site says there's no proof Dostoievski said that (tho' I like the sentiment)...

Thanks! I get that all the time with great quotes.
My husband thought it might be from The Idiot.

Couldn't watch it. Used to love him.
I know - when he did all those marathons for charity! I like to think he's just misinformed and mistaken and he'll come round.

Used to be funny ha ha - now he's funny peculiar. As my mum used to say!
"Clever"
Compared to what? A sack of hammers? A box of rocks?
