GLINNER'S TWITTER

James Barry @JamesBarry1789

But it ISN'T "panto" (as the comments infer). Panti and friends would recoil from "panto". Because a panto "dame" is clearly a man dressed as a woman to be laughed at- that's the point. This is different. It's drag. And drag is "womanface". It's an unacceptable parody of women.

Dr Panti Bliss-Cabrera @PantiBliss

So after a gorgeous Pride and a lovely welcome from Westport, some fascists turned up at the local bookstore to intimidate the drag queen story time. So we decided to go and support the shop and inclusion and say feck off to fascism https://t.co/CeR9svbR7S

Billy Bragg @Serena_Partrick

To be simultaneously monstering Bette Midler for asking people to use the word 'women' to describe women AND denying that anyone is trying to stop women using the word 'women' to describe themselves really is next level gaslighting from the Cult of the Female Penis.

Heroines of the moment

Mighty Hoopla statement is NOT GOING DOWN WELL

You may remember the Mighty Hoopla’s attempt to shame Macy Gray when she came out as a feminist. Well, the comments section beneath their Facebook post shows that, at least in the UK, this kind of performative witch-hunting might be coming to an end. Or at least, they won’t get such an easy ride from now on. Please do read them, they’ll put you in a good mood for the rest of the day!

Never underestimate how much Twitter hates women

Sam Barber @SamBarber1910

A day later the easily identified man who posted these threatening tweets at @BetteMidler has not had his account suspended, and Twitter has not even required that he delete the tweets. But Twitter suspends women for observing the reality of their own female sex. 😒

Sam Barber @SamBarber1910

12. Both of these tweets responding to @BetteMidler with pictures of a noose have been up for many hours. Meanwhile, Twitter continues to suspend the accounts of feminist women who observe the reality of their own sex. #TwitterHatesWomen https://t.co/wEOrgAYyTZ

A case of accidental, automated grooming

🚨Read the bombshell report by myself and @SwipeWright about a mother who introduced her daughter to transgender children’s books, the daughter’s declaration that she wants to be a boy exactly one month later, and the aftermath that followed. buttonslives.substack.com/p/case-study-h…

These posts are exactly 1 month apart. This is what can happen if you introduce your child to transgender children’s books.

The Guilty Feminist @GuiltFemPod

From @TheMaeMartin’s insta stories on Bette Midler. A very important read.

Here’s the best review of Mae Martin’s clueless statement.

Woman -Don’t appropriate, colonise or erase my sex @iamaweepanda

@tinternetqueen @BeerInStemGlass @GuiltFemPod @TheMaeMartin Me too. The more I read, it went like: - Um, ok. - Not really ok. - Well, probably not. - No, maybe not. - No. Definitely not. - No! - Absolutely not, never. - No way. I won’t concede. Ever! - Get stuffed! Now, I’m firmly against the whole thing. No more polite Mrs Woman.

Another Vichy Feminist gets telt

Scottish Lesbians @ScotLesbians

We’re so disappointed to see this from Stella. We hear from lesbians every day who are experiencing #cottonceiling culture, echoing @FrenchFem’s research findings. Lesbians deserve our own spaces, and to choose who we have in them.

Stella Duffy @stellduffy

So tired of straight people deciding lesbian women need protection from trans inclusivity. I saw very little evidence of your support for lesbian rights in my 40+ years out. Please stop using us to attack trans rights.

John Hinkley on gun control

The Recount @therecount

John Hinckley Jr., who shot former President Ronald Reagan more than 40 years ago, discusses the need for gun reform in America: “I certainly don’t think the mentally ill should have access to guns. I mean, that’s kind of obvious.”

“Standard reply please”

Sarah Phillimore @SVPhillimore

Please note the contempt in which we are held by public officials. ‘another one for a standard reply please’ @bindelj

ET Judge: so Maya wins her case TRAs: (in utter denial) she lost, she lost, really, she lost, you're all confused Stonewall: (somewhat missing the point) this means you still can't bully trans people at work, whatever you think Terf Island: we never did, we never wanted to, loons

Sorry, too tired to be astonished at this

Just caught this abhorrent display of censorship and violation of student rights and freedoms in an LGB Alliance group. This is absolutely disgusting. This is a LITERAL VIOLATION of your students rights! @AucklandUni

I picked some bad friends

Four or five years on and Michael Ian Black is still pumping out this shite. I suspect he’s another one held hostage by his kids on the matter.

Michael Ian Black @michaelianblack

The people who think trans women somehow cheapen their experience of womanhood are using the same argument opponents of gay marriage used when they said it would cheapen their straight marriage. It didn't. It doesn't. It won't.

Luckily, this time, he’s not getting away with it.

Homunculus 🦖🌻🍳 @tryingattimes

@michaelianblack Slight difference. Marriage is a legal construct. Women are half of humanity, whether you personally include us as full humans or not. We will hang on to everything we need to protect ourselves from misogynists like you.

Aja🇯🇲🇬🇧 ⚢💚🤍💜🦖 @Aja02537920

@michaelianblack Really...did we gay people demand straights deny reality? Did we call them bigots for not sleeping with us? Did we take anything at all from straights? Nope but men who say they are women wanna take everything from me including my free speech.

Kate Styles 🕸 @bailey6117

@michaelianblack HUH?? Womanhood is the lived reality of those born female NOT some *experience*, or costume or performance NOT a reality that males can think or feel NOT an identity and NOT something that women need you to mansplain

Let’s get gender ideology out of schools

Please sign and share.

petition.parliament.ukPetition: Remove references to ‘gender identity’ from relationships education guidanceSince 2020 the DfE has published guidance for relationships and sex education. This says “Pupils should be taught the facts and the law about sex, sexuality, sexual health and gender identity in an age-appropriate and inclusive way”. Gender identity is a social construct, and not recognised in law.

Poor Monty

Monty is not smart, but keeps picking fights with smart women. It never ends well.

Amy Eileen Hamm @preta_6

I am facing a five-day disciplinary hearing (thankfully with my wonderful lawyer @LDBildy) this spring. Women’s rights are not transphobic. It would mean the world to me if you read & share this:

quillette.comI’m Being Investigated by the British Columbia College of Nurses Because I Believe Biological Sex Is RealIn November 2020, the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) informed me that I was under investigation for my “off-duty conduct.” My disciplinary hearing is scheduled to take place from May 30th through June 3rd, and my career as a nurse hangs in the balance.
