I am Katy Montgomerie. I'm a failed trash metal guitarist but I'm not without talent- my photoshop skills are out of this world! On Twitter you'll find me fighting for feminism and defending womens hard won rights to sell her dick pics for money. I refer to the patriarchy a lot. I transplain to women on matters such as abortion and womanhood because I am who I say I am.

I am Aoife Martin, high priestess of the Irish self loathing Twitter libfems. When I'm not trolling women for being menopausal or for having the temerity to object to use of descriptions like birthing parents, you'll find me projected on buildings like the GPO and Dublin Barracks on International Womans Day. I am who I say I am

I am Sara Philips. Despite having no lived experience as an actual woman, I see no issue in taking a womans place on the NWCI because I am who I say I am

I'm Laurel Hubbard. My dad's a millionaire and I have competed at national level in men's wrestling in New Zealand. When I got into my 40s I decided it would be easier to steal women's trophies instead, so now I take sporting accomplishments from women wrestlers, and I get to do this because I am who I say I am.

A fine addition, Alice. I'm in down here in NZ too(?).

He's thankfully been out of the media since the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. The debate about his presence there was defused when he injured himself trying to lift a weight way over the legitimate female leader. I won't for get how she looked at him. We're next in line for changes to legislation here, but a self-ID bill was knocked back last year. Our Green Party, unsurprisingly, have bought the bullshit and are more than happy for men to be women. I know things are getting grimmer in Oz. Hope you're not being personally affected.

In this last month alone I have seen two men in dresses while I was grocery shopping at a local popular shopping centre. Two white middle aged men with beer guts, wearing dresses and womanface. My partner saw one storming through the same centre looking really angry a few weeks ago. I saw a younger man in skirt and dress about three months ago, same centre. He was glaring at all the women he strutted past, hoping to catch someone's eye I am guessing.

Time was I would have been happy for them to smash gender roles. Now, I'm afraid of them.

Men choosing to do this publicly now are irrefutably aligned with the most aggressive anti-human rights campaign in history. And they know it.

I am dreading the day I walk into a public loo and find a man there. Do I ignore him? Well, I can't, for the sake of the girls he's intending to harm or frighten. So then what? I'm feisty, I am able to speak up and I can shout loudly, I will try to physically defend myself if he attacks me. I won't be bullied easily. But then I will be called phobic and viciously and misogynistically Karened. And what will that do to my family and loved ones?

An extended family member has swallowed the cult Koolaid and it is making her really unwell and that is having a knock on effect on the rest of us, who know transology is awful, delusional, misogynistic shite.

I am starting to not want to go out anywhere that there might be a man in a dress wearing womanface. And that's everywhere.

It's really genuinely awful to know that the Australian government doesn't care about the dignity and safety of half the human race.

Thank gawd I'm middle aged. Seriously. To be a young woman submersed in this horrific misogyny would be so distressing. I am planning to move as soon as possible to a small town somewhere in the middle of nowhere (thinking Tassie) and never so much as open a newspaper again.

Laurel, don't deny your dad his other laurels (lol). My understanding is that your pa isn't just a millionaire, he's a prominent public figure whose rabid homophobia is one of his claims to fame.

I emailed it thinking I had everyone in and I didn't. It's updated now.

May I just say that the fact that such mediocre men become so incredibly fêted just for having "transitioned" never ceases to amaze me! I'm aware that this is very much an aside, but I very highly doubt I would ever have heard of Shon Faye (for example) otherwise.

Expand full comment

It astounds me. You just know that the same handmaidens who are calling them "stunning and brave" wouldn't have given them a second of attention pre "transition". No woke points

Expand full comment

It's something I've observed as a motivation for TIMs. They get young women telling them they're beautiful and important, and making them the centre of attention. That's attention and approval they would not otherwise get from women.

Expand full comment

Totally. I'm going to be blunt, these men are often very much the loser type and I guarantee the libfems on Twitter wouldn't be paying them any attention otherwise. Put on a dress and lipstick and "transition" and they're stunning and brave.

While I've got you, Graham, I've been trying to find a way to get this in front of your eyes (I probably should have just commented it). Anyway, it all still stands! ---

Dear Graham,

A million thanks for your brilliant comedies and, more recently, your Herculean efforts against the Gender Forces of Darkness. I don't know how you do it, but I'm so bloody impressed that you continue doing it.

I was thinking how the enemy (not the wife) seem to think they have a monopoly on acronyms, and thought it might be effective to deploy some of our own -- whether they stick or not, we will succeed in baffling the cunts and hopefully get their knickers in a twist.

I had a quick think and came up with a few for starters:

DOHB: Denier of Human Biology

(e.g., "You don't have to be a DOHB to be a TRA, but it helps").

WHAT: Women-Hating Aggressive Troll

(e.g., "It's WHATs like you who give TRAs a bad name).

I know one shouldn't fight fire with fire, but these gaslighting fuckers need to be gaslit themselves.

Cheers again for all of your incredible work -- it's people like you that make the world a more worthwhile place in which to live.

I'd like to submit another: TWIT. Trans women ignoring truth

Expand full comment

Respectfully, we need to stop using the words trans woman, ever, under any circumstances, with or without a space. I said this five years ago and I am still saying it now. Language is vital. They are not woman of any kind. They are trans identified males (TIMs) or men who identify as trans.

Expand full comment

Yeah you do have a point. Damn, I was quite proud of TWIT but best not to give them an inch

Expand full comment

Yes, what Alice Anne says - but still, TWIT was funny. Now to think of some trans-annoying acronyms telling them they're really men....

I love this. Whoever created the graphics deserves a big cuppa and a packet of biscuits (of their choice).

It's something that baffles me when every attempt to have a discussion about female spaces is met with "Trans rights are human rights." Trans people have human rights! Your human rights are things like not being sold into slavery, not being imprisoned without trial. Where are trans people experiencing these things disproportionately? There's no such thing as the human right to get a beauty treatment or play on a hockey team.

This seriously needs to be shared - it shows so clearly how Amnesty has lost the plot

Expand full comment

I am afraid that Amnesty kingpins know exactly what they're doing - just like when they endorsed the prostitution industry despite negative feedback from most of their international sections. AI has been taken over by the patriarchs ensconced at AI USA and UK.

Expand full comment

Sadly, I think the cognitive dissonance of many will make them complain that "the worst of the worst have been chosen" and that these people aren't representative of trans people. It seems to be the only "argument" that many have...

I was thinking that too. Although it's from last year, this article is the one that seems to help people new to gender ideology understand what's going on with 'regular' transgender men. https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/03/10/i-was-americas-first-non-binary-person-it-was-all-a-sham/

Oh, his story is so sad. At least he had just enough insight to stop before he'd done irreparable damage to his body, I guess. I had already heard of him though.

You're right. Most people have *no* idea whatsoever about autogynephilia. I find it ridiculous that activists have been able to submerge the knowledge about it from the mainstream, even if I understand why they've done so.

Thank you very much for sharing this article. It needs to be widely circulated.

Mind you - while one may be able to use the "true trans"/no true Scotsman fallacy against an outlier like Karen White, in the case of Heather Peto for instance, I imagine that it would become far more difficult to use the same kind of self-delusion.

Amnesty really has lost the plot.

In 2015 Amnesty decided to support the decriminalization of prostitution and the entire "sex industry". The Board was bounced by male directors with influence. When a member of a local board of Amnesty in the USA objected and spoke out publicly against this she was expelled: https://digitalcommons.uri.edu/dignity/vol3/iss3/1/

Lieberman, Marcia R. (2018) "Decriminalization of Prostitution Policy: Amnesty International Punishes A Dissenting Member," Dignity: A Journal on Sexual Exploitation and Violence: Vol. 3: Iss. 3, Article 1.

I learned about this in 2018, the year of publication of this paper.

The right thinks women are incubators who cook and clean. The left thinks they can buy us and be us. Women have no political representation at all.
