This is deliciously funny. I think Margaret is about to peak, she's so close.....come on Margaret, you can do it!!!! Margaret, you literally said the same thing as JKR's first "Menstruator Tweet". You are literally a TERF now for non compliance to gender ideology. Welcome....

The condescending finger wagging always makes me chuckle when one of their own dares to question the consensus.

The "delete this, babe" and "do better" tweets are the best 😁

"Before I start, let me say no one here is a bigger feminist than me ..."

Laurie is still undertaking her sack-cloth-and-ashes performance for her 10th October mis-speak. ("Listening to both sides of the argument" - naughty naughty, Laurie!)

So she throws out a TRA/MRA tweet every few days to keep the mob at bay.

They'll savage her in the end, regardless.

The TRA/MRA are insatiable.

Since Margaret “but barramundi!” Atwood has been wilfully ignorant for the last few years to the dystopian reality we are currently living in (considering what she’s famous for) I hold out little hope she’ll see through the next 12 hours before making a ‘sincere’ apology and a promise to educate herself further.

All the comments saying “ugh. Not you too!” Insinuating droves of influential women have been brave enough to speak up are making me lol. Twats.

I love when these dumb TRA women get totally monstered by the community they threw all their delusional chips in with. Now what were we saying, Margaret and Laurie?

I try and be nice. I really do, but the laziness of Attwood to not even understand what she was supporting.

Strong Pullman-esque vibes.

I saw this. Unbelievable that she was so critical at first. Peak- trans? Or not quite yet?

She's close!! So close!

This is GREAT! They're dragging Atwood . . . that is going to peak a LOT of people! And if they peak Atwood herself, that would be a huge step forward! I've always said we need an Atwood to write a Handmaid's Tale for our time, where TiMs have erased women . . .

And "the Alliance of Openly Misogynistic Bearded Leftwing Men"--you deserve an award for that turn of phrase!

Even if Attwood suddenly did a 180 turn on this, I still won't forgive or forget her being an Aunt in this insanity and wouldn't trust her not to throw women under the bus again when it suits her.

Yeah, much as I think everyone should have the option to change their mind, I can't forgive MA for throwing us under the bus. It cut deep that the woman who wrote The Handmaid's Tale could deny the reality of women.

This peaked a friend of mine who didn't really see what has been going on. Eyes wide open now.

I hope the told-you-so mob sit back and let the blueys do their job to peak Ms Atwood.

"Amanda Jette Knox, there, taking a break from ‘discovering’ that another one of her kids is trans."

Ah sounds like she is trying to get down with the kids "nonbinary and a women"!!! Oh just stop it you're a mature women.

"I’m nonbinary. I also menstruate and gave birth to 3 kids. Saying “people with periods” includes women AND me."

Non binary. No, you aren't. I won't ever collude in their lexicon of woke hatred. Shove it into a stink ditch.

I'm guessing she knows which healthcare to access if she's had 3 kids. No one is s non-binary, just gender non-conforming at best. Lots of us are. It's not weird or even brave. It's just an option the same as being uberfeminine or supermasculine.

Aren't we back to pull down your pants and see how nonbinary you are?

I don’t know about you, but I IMMEDIATELY accepted “disingenuous old birdshit” into my universe, to use as my twitland bio “pronouns”. And I feel fabulous about this. 😁😁😁 Hoping this will become “a thing”.

“Shitbird,” I think, was said, which is even better!

Helena, OMG -yes, thank you for bringing this to my attn! Yes, “Disingenuous/ old / shitbird” are the dinosaur ‘pronouns’ of the Century, LOL! Not disrespectful, nasty and agesist at all 🤡 😁😂🤣 🦖

Does she not know that simply saying someone is 'not a terf' immediately makes HER a terf? At any rate, this should be good. TRAs are about to give her the Alison Moyet treatment.

By using the language of the oppressor, she can #Fuckoffforever yeah, I'm a hardliner. I will never forgive her for being a disingenuous old shitbird. Ever. www.terfisaslur.com her casual bandying about of that slur? No thank you, shitbird.

Expand full comment

Yep - that's how JKR became a terf, by liking tweets by Maya Forstater and Magdalen Berns. Once you're in you're in for life - you might as well give up any thought of apologizing.

They are so awfully condescending.

Transactivists love the word 'literally'. This is literally my favourite Horrible Histories song: The Viking Song: Literally. It may provide a few minutes entertainment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qSkaAwKMD4

oh you reminded me of the hiliarious Monty Python sketch about a man who wants to be a woman. https://youtu.be/PObBA2wH5l0

Yes, that one was unbelievably prophetic!

That, and a banging short haircut. Which literally no-one before 2018 had thought of.

Ach, Atwood will be recanting very soon. There's no-one more likely to be hounded than an apostate. And that's what they will see her as.
