Twitter has already banned at least two women for saying it’s unfair. This is what Irish women voted for when they thought they were voting for marriage equality.
The whole Ireland situation has been shadows and smokescreen, and no-one gave 2 shits about women in prisons.
But the GAA? That'll raise this to the highest platforms. I hope no women get hurt with this, but I am convinced that the Lia Thomas blow-back will be a pathetic wheeze compared to how this impact.
It's sad that sport is deemed more important than females in Ireland, but this shit needs to be crushed ASAP. Hopefully women will benefit from this particular farce in the medium term.
(Also, once again, the TRAs couldn't get a bloke who would take a back seat, maybe finish mid-table and suggest that there's no male advantage. Oh no! The fucking ego, which is probably a requirement to even consider doing this in the first place, couldn't help itself.
I mean seriously, I point out that nowadays you don't even have to shave to be able to claim you "feel like a woman" and thus have to be treated like a woman. This guy takes this a step further.
At any rate, we can say that it doesn't look like his gender dysphoria is very severe.
He explains this in his videos as not 'needing' to 'pass'. And gives us chapter and verse on what 'passing' means to him. There seems some confusion between 'passing' and 'conforming' and even 'being'. They are because they 'feel' they are. Despite not being. He is very activist in his advice to shout loudly about who you really are etc. When he describes 'glances' it's obvious that we are supposed to look, but not look, and only see what he wants us to see. Coercive much?
The fact that most of these men look like men dressed as 'women' is often turned around as 'but you want to force us into having surgery you are cruel'. And the answer is no, no we're not, we don't and you still look like men even when you do have plastic surgery and implants. Do what you like, but you are still not women or female.
Oh, the Irish have a history of tolerating the intolerable as long as it claims to be about salvation. Pne might say that these seems to particularly apply when men in dresses are involved. Just look at how long the Catholic Church could do as it pleased.
But once the Irish have had enough with the BS, well, you don't want to be the one who's been bullshitting them.
Transideoloy is not all that different. Its proponents just call the Churches "Immortal Soul" gender, which has to be saved at all costs. No sacrifice can be high enough, particularly not that of women. And again, women who don't fully comply are being sidelined, silenced, bullied. Granted, they are not locked away and enslaved anymore. Again, a small group of men with a somewhat twisted approach to sexuality are the main beneficiaries. The dresses they wear are more colorful than back then. I guess you can call that progress.
There have always been some colourful and beautiful cassocks. The more senior you are, the more you got to play with the colourful outfits. And some great hats. Embroidery. And tassles. Mortification of the senses ;-)
Those men don't even try, do they? I mean, look at him. With the best will in the world (which I don't have), how could anyone think this balding old coot is a transwoman?
Twitter suspended people in Ireland who circulated the image here. It can’t allow the truth to come out - a bit like vampires, Trans dogma can’t stand the light
Most votes that have been cast in every election in the history of the world... have been cast by people who didn't really know what they were voting for. That's why we have the breaking world that we have.
Do the Irish people have any recourse given self-ID was piggybacked on marriage equality without anyone being aware? Can it be challenged in the Courts?
The government backed by every Irish political party, except the tiny Republican anti-abortion Aontu party, have signed up to it. They are backed by probably 90% of media (most afraid to even touch the subject) and the left-run Irish branch of the National Union of Journalists (NUJ), the state-funded National Women’s Council, Amnesty, Irish Council for Civil Liberties etc etc. It’s a nightmare here in Ireland. I for example have written many letters (all carefully worded and nuanced) to the papers about this scandal but none get published. Some feminists, the Countess etc are fighting back but it’s an uphill battle for them to get decent coverage in the media.
I'm currently reading Smear by Sharyl Attkisson. A real eye opener about the money poured in and sheer evil tactics employed to distort and destroy any opposition to the left's twisted ideology. It's quite breathtaking and frightening.
Power and all eyes on. Political power. They've created a new industry - or several. They've carved this and diverted funding and investment from women and girls who are being evaporated as a group. Homosexuals now don't exist. Anything we have, and any rights they can take and demand more, more, more very loudly from pre-existing and actually vulnerable groups.
There are billions in the pharmaceuticals they prop this fantasy up with, billions in the surgery, and billions in the vague 'healthcare' they demand and the actual healthcare they need to manage the complications and bodily and mental damage. Billions in the new 'rights' industry, billions in the legal 'rights' to defend that, billions in the marketing of it.
This takes attention from everything else - it's a vortex sucking focus from housing, health, education, environmental and disease burdens, improvement of social conditions - the lot.
Social media barons made hay from our need for attention, basic brain functioning and reward mechanisms. Throwing division and diversion in to make billions more. This is that on turbo charge.
In the case of George Soros he had so many billions that he put a good proportion into his Open Society NGO which seeks to spread around the West his bizarre liberal ideas on everything from Trans to open borders. Open Society offshoots funded for instance ultra liberal-left people who stood in Attorney General/District Attorney elections in major US cities in last few years. They got elected in NYC, Los Angelas or maybe San Francisco (I think) and other Democratic Party-controlled big cities. They immediately partially defunded the police and put the money into social workers etc and all but abolished bail money. Result was chaos and some have been, or are being, removed from office after voter rebellions.
Is it ego that encouraged Soros to do the above or a desire to be remembered? Who knows.
Doesn’t the Guardian have over £130 million in that ‘trust’? Meanwhile it ‘employs’ people as barely-paid interns etc all while paying little treasures like Owen Jones lots of dosh
Well, ultra-liberal and left are two things that rule out one another. Indeed, the most profound criticism of the Open Society Foundation comes from communists, left-wing socialists and the like.
Ultra-liberals have just adopted some left language, and while there is some overlap with the left in a number of basic assumptions about society (free individuals, born with rights and dignity, equality of men and women, commitment to secularism, that sort of thing) it flat out contradicts left policy in most core issues, such as the welfare state, labor regulations, its approach to unions, political representation at large, and a whole host of other issues.
It would be tempting to see this as a Trojan horse to destroy what is left of the Left - indeed, ultra-liberal entrism is achieving just that as it takes over centrist parties that once were center left. But then again, I am afraid it doesn't take a conspiracy to explain why this is happening. It's just that center left parties have given up on developping their own political theories three decades ago and have slowly forgotten what they were all about.
If we look at England we see the craziest policies on Trans are strongly supported by both the Greens (authoritarian leftists in my book), the LibDems (mad cap liberals in my experience) and the Corbanista ultra left element in the Labour Party. It appears to me that what we are seeing is a de facto coalition of both liberals and leftists in the US and UK etc that is working to change everything, including the very definition of woman.
Forget Soros. He is a marginal figure in all of that, haunted by the guilt at what he helped orchestrate in the early 00's. The guy is in fact a philanthropist, and that's the tragic aspect about it. He believes he is doing all he can to advance humanity.
Of course, the Open Society Foundation has quite a bit of influence - but not anywhere close to what's generally attributed to it. There is many fish in that pond, OSF is just one of them and so is George Soros.
He is singled out quite often because he is Jewish and antisemites just use him because Rothschild isn't a household name anymore. I'm not saying that you or anyone on here is antisemitic, just that the exaggerated importance attributed to George Soros and the OSF clearly is an antisemitic trope people from various wings of the extreme right have been putting out there for 20 years now.
Of course, sneaking Self ID in was deceitful to say the least. That sort of piggybacking is something transactivists have copied from Christian fundamentalists, btw.
But: The proposals voted upon were publicly accessible. It's not like this was like the fine print of an insurance contract. Every Irish voter could have informed him- or herself what they were supposed to vote on. They chose not to.
So he doesn’t just identify as a woman, but also as a sixteen year old? I’d like to identify as 29 again, but since I’m actually a woman, people would just say I’m ‘lying about my age’.
As usual I find myself asking: "Who falls for this shit?" and the answer is very, very few people. The vast majority think it's a disgrace but they're scared to admit it. As with the cycling episode, maybe the sight of that shameless twat bearing down on a woman will finally open a debate.
It’s absurd that a man can be nominated for this award at all. I was appalled when Glamour magazine gave Caitlyn Jenner, a self proclaimed homophobe, woman of the year. If they wanted to create a trans person of the year award, fine. Why do they have to take our awards, our sports, our very identities, in order to be happy. They are not women. Telling me women don’t have uteruses or ovaries makes a mockery of the pain I’ve endured for years and of my recent endometriosis surgery, for a condition that is not addressed as it should be by the medical community.
This condition is not diagnosed on average for about 7 years, from the time women start to experience symptoms. Women’s voices on pain are still largely ignored by doctors, even obgyns, who are well aware of endometriosis and that a symptom is intense period pain. My pain has been dismissed by countless doctors for years, until I collapsed on the floor one day, when a cyst I was unaware of ruptured, yet the whinings of men who fetishize aping women’s societally enforced gender roles is classified as so intense that misgendering them is a violent act? It’s a mockery of the struggles real women still endure in a society that favors men and their whims in every sphere.
Jennie, I am SO SORRY for what you have endured. Two medical issues you should check out and you may have to be very forceful in doing so: One, hypothyroidism, which causes heavy periods, and, two, try to get a copy of Lynne Farrow's The Iodine Crisis. My sister died of endometrial cancer which I believe could have been avoided if she had had better health care. I, too, had abysmal health care and am now severely disabled whereas if my hypothyroidism had been detected -- I had lots of symptoms! -- I truly believe I would never have nearly died and consequently had damaging surgeries.
The tragedy of healthcare for women is regardless of whether we have great insurance or well credentialed doctors, our concerns are minimized or ignored. I’m so sorry for you and your sister’s tragic consequences. The surgeries and pain are enough to deal with, but the anger, frustration and regret add another dimension of pain. One aspect of endometriosis I read about recently, and intend to ask my surgeon about, is estrogen dominance and alleviating it with progesterone. I will also bring up thyroid. Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll look up Lynn’s book.
Another thing doctors are covering up endometriosis and other real health problems with is antidepressants. They’re being prescribed to treat peri-menopause symptoms, which is a time when women are at risk of estrogen dominance and endometriosis. I had a doctor try to prescribe prozac for back pain after an accident, instead of getting an xray. Turned out my vertebrae was crushed. I could have wound up needing surgery for my back if I hadn’t gotten a second opinion and PT.
I told a doctor I met on a dating app about this. He just said you’d be surprised how many problems disappear when you throw antidepressants at them. I was horrified at his nonchalant rationalization of a traumatic, and ultimately malpractice worthy, experience for me.
I have yet to meet a really good doctor; at best one can hope for someone to listen.
The usual thyroid treatment only occurs if you have an elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone. Mine was always normal, but no one tested free T3 and free T4, which would have been in the basement. This is not standard practice. If you have elevated TSH they give you Synthroid; Janie Bowthorpe's Stop the Thyroid Madness is an excellent source for learning about actual thyroid medication. I take 4 grains (240mg) daily of thyroid medication, without which I would be dead, but if I saw a standard practitioner they would immediately stop my necessary medication. And their reasoning if they were sued is that they were following standard protocol.
Antidepressants! I was given Paxil when I was under extraordinary stress and all it did for me was make me gain 20 pounds in 3 months, which a friend with depression told me is typical of people who are not depressed. I should have asked the idiot doctor if she was getting a kickback, and fortunately a friend asked me what I was taking that shit for. One of the worst uses of antidepressants is their being given to people who are malnourished so they won't feel hungry (I am NOT kidding). Don't give them food, give them Prozac!
'Giulia' can vaffanculo and when he gets there can vaffanculo a teeny tiny bit more. This man has discovered that women can be 'a bit harsh'?? Harsh doesn't cover what has been and is being done to us and what he is doing successfully breaking more and more boundaries. What does he think being flashed in a bathroom is, by a man who has no right to be there? Taking the place of a woman so he can feather his ego nest some more. What does he think abuse and rape is? He and they are bloody self-obsessed men men men. Men. You're a man mate, you're not a 'trans' anything.
He reeks of male entitlement. TENI are utterly evil for promoting this.
How anybody can pretend gender ideology isn't a dream come true for men is beyond me.
Men and boys can go anywhere and have no limitations because 'Gender'.
Women and girls are restricted and subject to limitations because sex.
Men can override the limits women have placed on them by weaponising Gender. Our relatively short period of mutual understanding and social conditioning and training that made women's spaces, races and places largely possible has ended. Men have been successful in obliterating understanding of why women need our own places, races and spaces. I'm not shocked any more when I see and hear anybody shamelessly sceptical about why women need to exclude all men in certain circumstances.
Human society has a very short memory and once we have decided on a 'social truth' (eg - women don't need to exclude men from any facet of our lives or physical spaces) it is extremely hard to reverse course.
Ireland is a society that is fast losing understanding of the unique social needs and circumstances of all women and girls.
But they are not alone.
Canada, Australia, the US and many other countries have fallen a long way down the same Gender Hole.
Has anyone thought about the safety of underage teenage girls who may have to shower and undress around a middle-aged man who spends all his time in torture dungeons? What the hell?
I first encountered the term 'genital fetishist' when I raised the red flag issue of grown men in change rooms with young girls and young women several years ago.
I was called a genital fetishist for raising it.
Any girl/woman in a change room with a man is called a genital fetishist for noticing.
Anybody who questions it is called a genital fetishist by the virtue vigilantes, because as far as they are concerned the only difference between males and females are genitals.
So they shame, socially isolate and stigmatise the victims of sexual predation by opportunistic men, as well as anybody who raises the red flag.
When we all know the shame, isolation and stigma belongs with those men and all those who enable their perversions at the expense of women and girls.
If we follow those predators' logic, I suppose a rape victim is a woman who is afraid to admit her genital fetish, or something like that. How come people don't see it for the brutal bullying that it is?
Also, the degree of projection here is astounding. There is no one who talks more about genitals and is so obviously obsessed by them than transactivists. Whatever the context, you can be sure some TRA will talk about "girl dick" in the next two minutes. If this isn't fetishism I don't know what is.
It is fetishism in more than one way. One is the obious and direct sexual component, i.e. the arousal they get from it. The other is that they assign their genitals a direct religious function. They are sacred, not to be questioned, and indeed to be worshipped by everyone else, much like the host a Catholic priest consecrates at mass. Thirdly, it is fetishism in a very capitalist sense - which is somewhat contradictory to the other forms, but they manage to combine them all: Genitals have become a commodity, and as such are a capitalist fetish. Don't like your genitals? Get new ones!
There have been Catholic priests and other Christian ministers who have abused children and women sexually, in part by telling them their semen is a sacrament of God.
This is so perceptive. Yeah, I really do think that those espousing TQ+ism are genital-fetishizers (or at least their enablers), in more than one sense of the word. And, as bad as the creepy-perv-in-dirty-mac form of fetishism is here, the other, more conceptual kinds that they engage in are probably even worse!
Their projection here is so painfully-obvious that it seems worthy of the schoolyard wisdom regarding which child actually farted: "he who smelt it, dealt it."
Really, what the fuck is it going to take? Ages, while misogyny is still such a safe and protected space. Women! Reframe your understanding of being fucked over.
It will take something like the Attorney Gen vs X case to wake people up. Nothing will be done until there is something so outrageous that even the don't cares will be forced to sit up & pay attention.
Yes. Funny how some people like Aja are singled out & banned by Twitter yet porn pedlars aren’t. I was bombarded with explicit gay male porn for saying men don’t give birth. The theme of the interplay between the participants was an older man ‘doing’ a younger man in a ‘Dad / Son ‘ role play. Twitter doesn’t pick out & ban that, does it?!
Fucking bring it!
The whole Ireland situation has been shadows and smokescreen, and no-one gave 2 shits about women in prisons.
But the GAA? That'll raise this to the highest platforms. I hope no women get hurt with this, but I am convinced that the Lia Thomas blow-back will be a pathetic wheeze compared to how this impact.
It's sad that sport is deemed more important than females in Ireland, but this shit needs to be crushed ASAP. Hopefully women will benefit from this particular farce in the medium term.
(Also, once again, the TRAs couldn't get a bloke who would take a back seat, maybe finish mid-table and suggest that there's no male advantage. Oh no! The fucking ego, which is probably a requirement to even consider doing this in the first place, couldn't help itself.
Veronica Ivy, Lia Thomas, etc all over again!).
Fucking hell. If this doesn’t peak Irish women I’m not sure what will.
But you won't know if you have to rely on twatter!! The world of women has wobbled again!! Jeez!!!
Surely though this middle aged bald man didn't qualify on age let alone being a man!!!
Oh, doesn't he scream womanhood?
I mean seriously, I point out that nowadays you don't even have to shave to be able to claim you "feel like a woman" and thus have to be treated like a woman. This guy takes this a step further.

🤣🤣 I watch Royal weddings etc just to study the hierarchy of cloaks, hats, medals & titles etc. What a game.
Not locked away, but locked out of support groups, wash rooms, locker rooms, because gender tourists want access to women’s spaces.
Do you remember when trans activists killed the vagina monologues because not all women have vaginas? We should have revolted back then.
Those men don't even try, do they? I mean, look at him. With the best will in the world (which I don't have), how could anyone think this balding old coot is a transwoman?
Now now Catherine it’s not what he LOOKS like (😵💫) but how he FEELS (or just says he feels) that counts. It’s a shyster’s charter.
“Bald old coot” 🤣🤣
Let's say he doesn't give the impression that his gender dysphoria is anything that would make him suffer much.
Yeah. He's too much of a bloke to look like a bloke who's trying to be a woman, let alone an actual woman!
Twitter suspended people in Ireland who circulated the image here. It can’t allow the truth to come out - a bit like vampires, Trans dogma can’t stand the light
I hate that these people make me feel duped for voting yes on the day
Most votes that have been cast in every election in the history of the world... have been cast by people who didn't really know what they were voting for. That's why we have the breaking world that we have.
It is a good idea to spend time thinking through what you vote for because you can be damn sure the politicians didn't.
Do the Irish people have any recourse given self-ID was piggybacked on marriage equality without anyone being aware? Can it be challenged in the Courts?

It was so sneaky
All planned by Dentons solicitors and funded in part by foreign US billionaires
I'm currently reading Smear by Sharyl Attkisson. A real eye opener about the money poured in and sheer evil tactics employed to distort and destroy any opposition to the left's twisted ideology. It's quite breathtaking and frightening.
What do US billionaires get out of this? I agree, but can’t identify an angle, except undermining women’s rights.
Power and all eyes on. Political power. They've created a new industry - or several. They've carved this and diverted funding and investment from women and girls who are being evaporated as a group. Homosexuals now don't exist. Anything we have, and any rights they can take and demand more, more, more very loudly from pre-existing and actually vulnerable groups.
There are billions in the pharmaceuticals they prop this fantasy up with, billions in the surgery, and billions in the vague 'healthcare' they demand and the actual healthcare they need to manage the complications and bodily and mental damage.

Is it ego that encouraged Soros to do the above or a desire to be remembered? Who knows.
I think that George Soros ' Open Society ' also help fund The Guardian via the "impartial" Scott Trust.
Doesn’t the Guardian have over £130 million in that ‘trust’? Meanwhile it ‘employs’ people as barely-paid interns etc all while paying little treasures like Owen Jones lots of dosh

There are many reports on the net of what is going on with these progressive DAs. Here is one where Soros is described as ‘left wing’ and the ‘progressive’ DAs that have disgraced themselves again and again are described as ‘liberal’ and/or ‘progressive’. https://freebeacon.com/democrats/soros-network-defends-progressive-prosecutor-who-lied-on-crooks-behalf/amp/
If we look at England we see the craziest policies on Trans are strongly supported by both the Greens (authoritarian leftists in my book), the LibDems (mad cap liberals in my experience) and the Corbanista ultra left element in the Labour Party.

I think Soros has a deep and twisted hatred of humanity in general and takes pleasure in using devious means to destroy it.
Forget Soros. He is a marginal figure in all of that, haunted by the guilt at what he helped orchestrate in the early 00's. The guy is in fact a philanthropist, and that's the tragic aspect about it. He believes he is doing all he can to advance humanity.

Like when they nominated Lia Thomas for NCAA woman of the year?
https://nypost.com/2022/07/17/upenn-slammed-for-nominating-lia-thomas-for-ncaas-woman-of-the-year-award/
Exactly like that. If they nominate this guy for a woman's award it will go precisely as well as it went for UPenn.
That's been withdrawn and an actual woman has been nominated.
It’s absurd that a man can be nominated for this award at all. I was appalled when Glamour magazine gave Caitlyn Jenner, a self proclaimed homophobe, woman of the year. If they wanted to create a trans person of the year award, fine. Why do they have to take our awards, our sports, our very identities, in order to be happy. They are not women.

I told a doctor I met on a dating app about this. He just said you’d be surprised how many problems disappear when you throw antidepressants at them. I was horrified at his nonchalant rationalization of a traumatic, and ultimately malpractice worthy, experience for me.
I have yet to meet a really good doctor; at best one can hope for someone to listen.
The usual thyroid treatment only occurs if you have an elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone. Mine was always normal, but no one tested free T3 and free T4, which would have been in the basement. This is not standard practice. If you have elevated TSH they give you Synthroid; Janie Bowthorpe's Stop the Thyroid Madness is an excellent source for learning about actual thyroid medication. I take 4 grains (240mg) daily of thyroid medication, without which I would be dead, but if I saw a standard practitioner they would immediately stop my necessary medication. And their reasoning if they were sued is that they were following standard protocol.
Antidepressants! I was given Paxil when I was under extraordinary stress and all it did for me was make me gain 20 pounds in 3 months, which a friend with depression told me is typical of people who are not depressed. I should have asked the idiot doctor if she was getting a kickback, and fortunately a friend asked me what I was taking that shit for. One of the worst uses of antidepressants is their being given to people who are malnourished so they won't feel hungry (I am NOT kidding). Don't give them food, give them Prozac!

James Lindsay was mass reported over the phrase "child s*****ization specialist" in reference to people who aid in "gender affirmation" for children.
'Giulia' can vaffanculo and when he gets there can vaffanculo a teeny tiny bit more. This man has discovered that women can be 'a bit harsh'?? Harsh doesn't cover what has been and is being done to us and what he is doing successfully breaking more and more boundaries. What does he think being flashed in a bathroom is, by a man who has no right to be there? Taking the place of a woman so he can feather his ego nest some more. What does he think abuse and rape is? He and they are bloody self-obsessed men men men. Men. You're a man mate, you're not a 'trans' anything.
He reeks of male entitlement. TENI are utterly evil for promoting this.
How anybody can pretend gender ideology isn't a dream come true for men is beyond me.
Men and boys can go anywhere and have no limitations because 'Gender'.
Women and girls are restricted and subject to limitations because sex.
Men can override the limits women have placed on them by weaponising Gender. Our relatively short period of mutual understanding and social conditioning and training that made women's spaces, races and places largely possible has ended. Men have been successful in obliterating understanding of why women need our own places, races and spaces. I'm not shocked any more when I see and hear anybody shamelessly sceptical about why women need to exclude all men in certain circumstances.
Human society has a very short memory and once we have decided on a 'social truth' (eg - women don't need to exclude men from any facet of our lives or physical spaces) it is extremely hard to reverse course.
Ireland is a society that is fast losing understanding of the unique social needs and circumstances of all women and girls.
But they are not alone.
Canada, Australia, the US and many other countries have fallen a long way down the same Gender Hole.
Climbing back out of it won't be easy.
Has anyone thought about the safety of underage teenage girls who may have to shower and undress around a middle-aged man who spends all his time in torture dungeons? What the hell?
I first encountered the term 'genital fetishist' when I raised the red flag issue of grown men in change rooms with young girls and young women several years ago.
I was called a genital fetishist for raising it.
Any girl/woman in a change room with a man is called a genital fetishist for noticing.
Anybody who questions it is called a genital fetishist by the virtue vigilantes, because as far as they are concerned the only difference between males and females are genitals.
So they shame, socially isolate and stigmatise the victims of sexual predation by opportunistic men, as well as anybody who raises the red flag.
When we all know the shame, isolation and stigma belongs with those men and all those who enable their perversions at the expense of women and girls.
If we follow those predators' logic, I suppose a rape victim is a woman who is afraid to admit her genital fetish, or something like that. How come people don't see it for the brutal bullying that it is?
Also, the degree of projection here is astounding. There is no one who talks more about genitals and is so obviously obsessed by them than transactivists. Whatever the context, you can be sure some TRA will talk about "girl dick" in the next two minutes. If this isn't fetishism I don't know what is.
It is fetishism in more than one way. One is the obious and direct sexual component, i.e. the arousal they get from it. The other is that they assign their genitals a direct religious function. They are sacred, not to be questioned, and indeed to be worshipped by everyone else, much like the host a Catholic priest consecrates at mass. Thirdly, it is fetishism in a very capitalist sense - which is somewhat contradictory to the other forms, but they manage to combine them all: Genitals have become a commodity, and as such are a capitalist fetish. Don't like your genitals? Get new ones!
Yet, this seems to elude most people.
There have been Catholic priests and other Christian ministers who have abused children and women sexually, in part by telling them their semen is a sacrament of God.
This is so perceptive. Yeah, I really do think that those espousing TQ+ism are genital-fetishizers (or at least their enablers), in more than one sense of the word. And, as bad as the creepy-perv-in-dirty-mac form of fetishism is here, the other, more conceptual kinds that they engage in are probably even worse!
Their projection here is so painfully-obvious that it seems worthy of the schoolyard wisdom regarding which child actually farted: "he who smelt it, dealt it."
Well said.
Not just a bald middle aged man but one with a BDSM fetish. I mean who would have guessed!
Really, what the fuck is it going to take? Ages, while misogyny is still such a safe and protected space. Women! Reframe your understanding of being fucked over.
It will take something like the Attorney Gen vs X case to wake people up. Nothing will be done until there is something so outrageous that even the don't cares will be forced to sit up & pay attention.
gawd I hate twitter.
Yes. Funny how some people like Aja are singled out & banned by Twitter yet porn pedlars aren’t. I was bombarded with explicit gay male porn for saying men don’t give birth. The theme of the interplay between the participants was an older man ‘doing’ a younger man in a ‘Dad / Son ‘ role play. Twitter doesn’t pick out & ban that, does it?!
I suppose Angela Eagle would say " Transwomen are women". Which is weird,I think,because they aren't.
You are not alone in thinking that.
I totally see why the emphasis here is in him being a man, but what about the 'junior' too? He seems to be playing in some junior league.
Does junior mean something different in Ireland? Because ol' baldy there is nearly as old as me and I'm no spring chicken.
