Murdered by men, erased by Amnesty

Imagine using ‘womxn’ here. On this story. On this day of all days.

Your now daily reminder that Colm O’Gorman should resign

What an absolute prick the man turned out to be. I am so sorry if anything I did helped this absolute nightmare of a man. Asking for women to be silenced and then nodding along with the misogynistic term ‘Karen’. Are you fucking serious?

Let's talk about @amnestyIreland and @amnesty .Today is end violence against WOMEN day. This is a tweet that the head of amnesty Colm O'Gorman Ireland liked. isn't that nice (1)

Interview with a ‘hate group’

We spoke today to two of the women Colm O’Gorman and FUCKING AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL want to strip of political representation.

On a lighter note

This is genuinely hilarious.

Multiple Penguin Random House Canada staffers broke down crying because their employer is publishing Jordan Peterson's next book

vice.comPenguin Random House Staff Confront Publisher About New Jordan Peterson BookDuring a tense town hall, staff cried and expressed dismay with the publishing giant’s decision to publish ‘Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life.’

It’s time for everyone’s favourite part of the site!

Well… you’re right we can’t argue, because you’ve turned off replies.

Marie Le Conte, you are not fit to carry one of Suzanne Moore’s furry coats.

Or to put it another way…

*Turns off replies, whines about being bullied before it happens, then compares herself FAVOURABLY to Suzanne Moore* 10/10

Marie Le Conte @youngvulgarian

you cannot argue our class of women is being erased while also refusing the use of the word "cis" / you cannot say there are no similarities with the gay rights movements which introduced the initially controversial notion of straightness while refusing the use of the word "cis"

This doctor seems to believe this addition of ‘other’ is a positive development. Here, on the other hand, is a doctor who knows why it’s important to accurately record sex on this document.

“Graham, have you seen this bullshit? As someone who works in a lab, we need to know a patients sex. It lets us know what their normal range should be for a metabolite or biomarker. 

This 'other' bullshit, means my colleagues and I will be ringingdoctors and wards to tell them a patient’s result is out or within range but that means fuck all without the sex of the patient. 

Eg HCG test for men is for testicular cancer. In women it's a pregnancy test. 

Fuming here!”

Making it up as they go along…

…and calling anyone who notices a bigot.

In 2016 Action For Children published 'A guide to supporting trans children'. Without evidence, it stated that if a child says they're trans during puberty then they're unlikely to change their mind. It's now quietly removed the document. Archive here: web.archive.org/web/2017121600…

Might start calling this the ‘Jon Ronson Test’

The journalist here seems to think this person is a woman. What do you think? I’d ask Jon Ronson, but for some hilarious reason he finds it impossible to say “Of course it’s not a fucking woman.” I guess some journalists value their careers over the truth, even though it’s impossible to be a journalist if you cannot tell the truth.

Oh, dear

Someone tried to do an Internet and it didn’t work out. The list of signatories and their ‘genders’ is quite a read! Even I signed it. (UPDATE: they’ve booby-trapped it now so I’m disabling the link. It was fun while it lasted!).

Anther list, this time of contenders for ‘Handmaiden of the year’.

Imagine making a day like this about men. Have some fucking respect, you collaborators.

And finally…

Apologies for the Metro link.

Right, surely this is a 40-year-old man trapped in the body of a four-year-old
