Guardian running out of road.

The hypocrisy of the Guardian is staggering. They are happy to recognise the importance of sex in sports here: "Dr Abigail Bretzin, lead author of the new study, said it was the first to look in such detail into concussion management and outcomes in teenage footballers. “Our findings add to research showing that female athletes are at increased concussion risk compared to male athletes, and highlight the importance of sex-specific research in this field,” she said." But refuse to discuss why men shouldn't compete in women's sport.

Do any of the men out there who want to be, or purport to actually be, women, actually like women? Is it only women who don't menstruate, don't reproduce, have penises and testicles and act like babies, talk like babies and are inordinately fond of babies and young children that they like? I'd love to be able to understand. Maybe the papers will be able to find out for me?? S Vernon.

Fascinating that the guardian basically has shut down all commentary on issues they hold dear, even though the ethos is supposed to be one of "Comment is free, but facts are sacred". Ball seems butthurt that some authors have an outlet that supports them. What a clown.

Nice to see most of the Guardian readers who commented did not support the article at all and got many likes. I think the comments closed unusually early because of that. They had not realised the strength of feeling. Glad to see also that Suzanne Moore's name cropped up. On the same paper though, and well-worth reading, is the interview with David Bell, retired Tavistock centre psychiatrist, who blew the whistle on Tavistock

Also in today’s Observer: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2021/may/02/un-catalogues-chilling-tide-of-abuse-against-female-journalists

As far as I could see, this is about ACTUAL women, no mention of trans 👏👏👏👏

Not only are men not women, but those men pretending to be women should know something: It doesnt matter how much you try to hide it with surgery and makeup, men cab look and say "Oh god it's a man in a wig" seriously, men are not fooled, men know a woman when they see one, and they know which sows ears are not silk purses

It's so true. Hey thanks for posting this.. This means ... dare I say it, that for all the mistreatment and abuse and rapespeech women have received online for 15 years, when sane folks finally had got enough and left and went somewhere else, that impact was felt.

I was led to believe it was 'go away, you won't be missed'. Instead it's 'they went away, call the waahmbulance'. Wow. I'm kind of in shock. I think this is the first sign of things to come. It's definitely the first time ever I've felt this. The holdout senator in Congress in the United States poised to vote against the Equality Act, Joe Manchin, a democrat, said recently that the of those contacting him through phone or email about this legislation the ratio is a thousand opposed for every one person who supports it. For GC people are biggest obstacle is we are being led to believe that we have far fewer numbers than we actually do.

In the future, of course, the big platforms will die. The 'fediverse' a loose network of individual servers, is probably more what the internet will look like (which is great because it will be likeminded people like here on your site, clumping together, and conversely degenerate predators will clump up too...it's so stupid of them to ban the women and sane men cause we give them the ONLY legitimacy they have...but they are so self-destructive they can't not, and will only figure it out when it's too late.)

I would of course like a dramatic ax-murder of the big guys via repeal of section 230 tipping off a blood bath of legislation over their allowing and monetizing child porn. But whether they go out with a bang or a whimper, as long as they just go, and never again is any NGO allowed to ever wield this kind of power and influence over society I'll be happy. Without the internet transvestite predators would just be flashing people on street corners. The internet allowed them to run this scam as a civil rights movement. I know it's not because I was there for the real one marching for LGBT rights 30 years ago during the AIDS crisis. That's why their b.s. doesn't fly with me like it does the kids online that weren't alive then.

I know without a doubt that if the right wing in the US ever gets the political power to they will repeal section 230 and break up the social media monopolies. That will be the death knell for big social sites, which are almost passe' now among the younger generations.

Typical lying dogs.

Maybe one for substack comment as I haven’t quite figured out if Mermaids is a front for an Islamist fundamentalist group advocating for FGM, a Christian fundamentalists group advocating for homosexual conversion or a far right organisation advocating eugenics through the sterilisation of mentally disturbed children. Either way Mermaids is what happens when you allow stupid people to set up charities!

The guy wilfully misrepresents substack, telling lies about several people on there with large followings, gets called out for it, and does an 'OMG my mentions', how did he get his job, and how does he still have it?!

My comment, along with many similar, simply stating what the alleged "hate speech" consisted of ("Men aren't women, tho" in relation to the WI wishing its trans members happy Pride) was deleted and not reinstated. All very surreal!
