I’ve just had my first run in with people who support, believe, encourage, or are just virtue signalling or are blind (whichever is appropriate) to the implications of gender ideology.
They were members of my local labour party of which I once belonged to but Labour isn’t Labour anymore and so I left. They were handing out leaflets at the foot of my local Tesco store’s escalator about a forthcoming event to do with Woman’s Day. As I wheeled my trolley off I was handed a leaflet and then I made my comment that Women certainly need a lot of protection these days thanks to the Trans extremists. “I can’t see any problems,” was the reply. I suggested she do a bit more research because all sorts of perverts and deviants were coat-tailing in on trans rights and I gave the example of cross-dressing heterosexuals who call themselves lesbians. “My daughter is trans,” she said. Her daughter would be around eleven or twelve and I thought ‘My God’ this poor girl is going to be a victim of psychological, medical and physical interventions that may well ruin her life.
Anyway I walked away with a dismissive wave of my hand suggesting she get the fluffy ideas out of her head. One of the guys went after me in a threatening fashion because my hand had apparently been too close to the woman’s face, but I was walking away and waved behind me so I didn’t realise.
Unfortunately when one is angry the words do not flow as coherently as one would like so I have of course been rehearsing in my mind what I should have said.
The one thing I am certain of is that the Labour Party should never be allowed into government ever again because these biology denying cult like beliefs are widespread within it. I could add other things that make them unfit but those are outside the realm of criticising gender ideology.
I wonder now if I will get a knock on the door from a local bobby for my ‘hate speech?’
Hi David. I am sorry you had such a negative experience and very much hope that you do not get a visit. "My daughter is trans" is not an argument for or against but people who buy into this cult use things like this as a supposed trump card - like it gives them some sort of superiority and inner knowledge. All it usually means is that they are uninformed and simply validating potential harmful beliefs that their child has developed.
"My child is trans/my friend is trans" really just means "feel sorry for them/me and give me/them everything we want. It's about as strong a political argument as "Not My Nigel"
They just come up with "My [fill in blank with whatever] is trans" though it may not even be true. My feeling is that if one declares one's child is trans or nonbinary one has told the other person that one did a shitty job of parenting. I've often thought of having a T-shirt made which says "You are telling me more about yourself than you ever intended."
And since there's really no such thing as "trans"-- people can't select their "gender" (because it's a social role, thus defined and imposed by society, not the individual), let alone their sex-- what this actually means is, "I have a child who is not only delusional, but whose delusions I am actively enabling".
David have you heard about Annaliese Dodds' inability to define 'woman', in a non-obfuscatory way, on Woman's Hour today? Said something about it being 'context dependent'. Some people are feeling pathetically grateful she didn't say TWAW, but it's too late for me to believe they can turn this tanker around. Even IF they wise up and want to.
They let themselves be infiltrated, and they chose to repeatedly say stupid things and failed to support people saying sensible things.
"Context dependent"?! Oh lordy! I'm a woman no matter what the context and that includes being one at times when it is very inconvenient to be one! Men are always men, regardless of context, attire, medication, surgeryphase of the moon or day of the week! Same for women. We are born that way! Chasing votes is way more importnat than the truth! You are so right about them letting themselves be infiltrated.
Absofuckinglutely, the T has eaten the LGB and its vocal and vile activists will do the same to whoever else they can. They are doing irreparable damage, including to trans people who they aren't speaking for.
Re. “JK Rowling brings down the hammer of the gods”. Did a little research. Thor’s hammer was THE weapon of protection for the Stronghold against the forces of chaos. The finest weapon in the Universe, not only a weapon of destruction, but a weapon of blessing and protection. The old Norse name for the revered hammer translates as “lightning”. Rather appropriate, don’t you think? Surviving the forces of chaos (with the power of love) can leave its mark.
I’m surprised these men can speak, their tongues must be dissolved from the acid that pours from every word. Women aren’t just hated, we are loathed and despised! We really must wake up and smell the misogyny!
Colour me surprised, nasty little neckbeard whom no one has ever heard of delights in abusing women on twitter. I expect though that he is a capitulating wet wipe in the real world so his outbursts at women online make him quell the urges to murder one of them, dude should be on a register. He's a ticking time bomb.
It's not the most flattering photo of his out there and Graham put it here for a purpose. (Which I am totally OK with, by the way.) Just saying that the guy does not see himself the way he looks on this photo. He really doesn't come across as overly well balanced in this one, does he?
Well some men really REALLY want to get into women's toilets. Flipping out at any threat to that possibility.

I heard that and she really struggled. Didn’t want to lie in public but couldn’t t
Tell the truth. Starmer and Lammy set the pattern and now none of them can say what a woman is.

David, I take it you haven't considered that when that leafletter said "My daughter is trans," she was probably talking about her son.
Good point 👍
Well said 👏👏👏♥️
TRAs are misogynists? Say it's not so. Color me shocked.
Also, what the fuck is a Jason Bailey? (Besides an incel; that much is clear.)
Minor movie and art critic, and some such stuff. Believe it or not not an incel, he's married with two kids.
Ugh. It spawned? Poor kids...
Natural selection really is a lot about trial and error.
😂
🤪👍👍
Could be worse, an absentee father favouring internet drama over a family life
With the emphasis on 'minor'.
How dare he address JKR like that. A piece of trash like him should grovel at her feet.
How dare he address anyone like that!! Do you think he speaks to his mother that way?
Just had a look at his Twitter comments. Foul mouthed rants.
A wannabe desperate for attention.
I hate to say this, but he probably does. And he learned it from dear old dad.
The hatred of women oozes out of some men!
Doesn't it? Probably with not as much aggression as it has since the 19th century.
Any excuse...and who'd have ever thought that 'trans rights' would be that excuse. Well done Stonewall et al!! You really opened a Pandora's box

Yeah ,they've allowed all the crazies and perverts to spout their filth !!
Oh...he seems nice.

Yep.I♥️JK Rowling. Wearing the badge 👍
That kind of violent and cretinous response from some/most/all TRA's has become par for the course. No surprise.

Yeah, I'm reminded of the quote by Germaine Greer (which she received a lot of hatred for): "Women have very little idea of how much men hate them".
In the last few years I think we’ve been finding out.
Yeah and ,sadly , women have more reason to hate men than the other way around,yet most of us don't !!
I certainly don't.
Why is he a 'blue tick' - who on earth is he?
He has professional status / enough followers that translates to Twitter giving him "official" status, signified by a blue tick.
I'd like him to get the OTHER kind of tick. Namely the bloodsucking parasitic kind. A full-blown infestation of them. Preferably with Lyme disease.

The photo itself is terrifying.

Small penis?
Not implausible. I'd have labelled him stupid and arrogant, but one thing does not necessarily rule out the other.
‘Hard on Twitter, cowers in the shitter’
No idea who this prick Jason is but I bet he has a cocks in frocks fetish.
They always either look like nonces or serial killers, or both.
