His t-shirt...

There are times when I think everything’s going to be ok. And then there are times when I think, nope… we are fucked… as a civilisation.

*What* “Trans Genocide”??!! More language of non-existent catastrophe. People have been groomed so greatly by this men’s rights movement, they have lost almost all sense and reason. Let’s hope that “… but it just feels wrong” occurs to more & more & they then come to realise that that wrongness has now pervaded & infiltrated all walks of life.

T-shirt says, "End Trans Genocide". What? Where? When?

38? There it is again. Like Laurel Hubbard, got too old to compete against their own sex so switched to beating women. The must win mentality of extremely toxic masculinity

Well, happy weekend Graham. Thank you.

You do not let people past the wall, the boundary, your defence or give them the opportunity to access your weak spots and potentially do harm. This is what women know and have been taught over history, and across cultures. Men know this too. So it's also funnily enough the core of military tactics. It's taught at Sandhurst. To special forces. It's the basis of all police tactics. It's also the basis of safe systems across the world in many industries.

It's never been women who have attempted to use physical force, to strangle or choke me. Men. And men I was in a relationship with and loved, hence why there were in a position of trust and close enough to do so. Every one of the thankfully few occasions it was attempted it was men. I was caught off guard. I trusted these men. They had been granted permission into my safe space.

Reading this and seeing those images is horrifying. But familiar. I am only here now because of luck. Perhaps because I grew up in a violent house and can smell it a mile off. I am hypervigilant to it. On the last occasion a recently ex boyfriend (a very dangerous time after the break up of a relationship at my behest) got very drunk and presumably got the courage up to do it. He'd been rude all evening and making odd misogynist comments about 'how he would never hit a lady, a gentleman doesn't'. I should have realised. When we got home, to a very large, gated house, in its own grounds, in a very nice part of England (see above), he couldn't stop arguing and followed me into my room. Started shouting and refused to leave. I asked him to leave the room and leave me alone. He shook, then balled his hands up in his pockets, and I knew something bad was about to happen. He threw himself at me like in a wrestling match.

It took me a few seconds but then I kicked and fought for my life and continued to after I nearly passed out. My head got fuzzy and my eyes blurry. I could hear my heart beating very loud in my ears. I felt funny and spacey and in shock I realised just in time what that was, the lack of oxygen and pressure on my neck and head and that unless I really concentrated hard and stopped him, that I would lose consciousness. So I mustn't stop fighting back. I must get very angry. It took a while to realise, no time to delay, act now! NOW! Wake up. This is also how I feel reading this post and many of them.

These men are being encouraged. How is that 'entertainment'? Oh in the same way boys and girls are watching extreme and violent porn and it has become so normalised that girls and women and other men are accepting it. No. Power and control. Dominance for weak men.

How many reports of women choked and strangled to death have there been this week? Just like this? How many fought back, and just like this? Defensive injuries noted. Women mysteriously found dead alongside their male partners. No supposed history of violence, or a well-known and public record, it's all the same. It's not a crime is it? So it's a sport. Great, thanks, glad we got that sorted. In the next Olympics?

Well, I found something to say. I cancelled my subscription to the Guardian and sent them a long explanation why. I know they don't care about this (yet) but it will be good to get this on the record for future.

Interesting. They’re ex military. So is Bradley Manning who now calls himself Chelsea. There’s a few explanations for the military connection but I think it’s to do with hyper masculinity and military discipline causing a personality schism. Men have enough difficultly connecting to their ‘feminine aspect’ ie Their emotions without being bullied and traumatised by military discipline.

Theoretically this is what leads to the shift to a female identification when they leave service and try to reidentify as civilians.

Also they probably watch too much porn and are creepy misogynistic autogynophiles.

Or maybe they’re just psyoperative agents working knowingly or unknowingly for the American government to further this creepy patriarchal trans agenda.

Whatever it shouldn’t be going on and it’s disturbing that more people can’t see that.

I know it will be hard, but women in sports must be brave and stand up together to say in one loud clear voice NO MEN IN WOMENS SPORTS. It is their fight and they can no longer remain silent.

This scares the life out of me. I would be very wary of people that watch this stuff for entertainment, it says a lot about their mentality.

America , self styled " greatest nation on EARTH " has been severely mentally ill for DECADES ,and sadly some of that has been imported to Britain over the years !! It's completely abhorrent that any sane person can watch a woman being almost killed in a " sports contest " by a MAN claiming to be a woman and actually believe he IS a woman !! worse still how can they watch brutality like that without being horrified ,applauding him instead !! Totally incomprehensible to any normal human being and as for the " press reports " ,they just leave you speechless !! Totally Unforgivable !!à

Can someone please arrest this prick?

We are in the grip of a mass psychosis: a very vocal minority bearing on its shoulders the semi-comatose majority, whose well-meaning wokeness blinds them to the reality of the travesty that they are unwittingly supporting. Madness, absolute madness.

No-one seems to know this, bear with me: men have a longer ring finger than women (more precisely, it's a high ring/index ratio). Wondering whether...? Check their right ring finger. Reliable guide. Anways, although I can't see much on the matter besides it's being noted, my opinion: it makes a solid fist unit paired with middle finger. Women cannot make such a fist withtheir middle finger out on its own. Check it out. Compare fists. Men, tey retracting your ring finger and note what it does to your fist I assume it diminishes dexterity though which women do better at, a trade-off. It means a man can always beat the shit out of a woman; he is biologically equipped with more efficient weapons. Please share this more widely. It needs to be shared more before women get killed. It's important. It is a dangerous built in biological advantage (apart from all those we already know, brow ridges and chin size too). Tell Joe Rogan for example. Sorry if this seems nerdy. It isn't. (from a friendly genderism trashing transsexual here xx)

God I feel so angry. And of course, I'm reminded of the leniency towards stranglers in the UK too. There was this recent case https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/reports/a37509505/man-killed-woman-strangling-sex-sentenced-four-years-prison/
