So a women who cannot give birth and a women who looks masculine are to be considered the same as a man with no surgery whatsoever who simply id’s as a women, fucking infuriating and fucking offensive. How can someone even write that down and not see it!

Which Judith Butler thread, Sian? On Twitter?

Expand full comment

yes it was on trending twitter …her Guardian article

Judith Butler: ‘We need to rethink the category of woman’

Jules Gleeson

The author of the ground-breaking book Gender Trouble says we should not be surprised when the category of women expands to include trans women

Yes. That article is. I am sick of Butler and her ilk expanding and expanding our decreasing rights from under us. What about women's names Judith?

I was too distracted by the most shared Graun article today on the light sentence given to a man who would never hurt the women he killed during sex, but it's ok as he doesn't really remember and never hurt her before, honest. Mysterious that this keeps happening then. Despite the government telling them the rough sex 'defence' is not to be used anymore as no one can consent to their own bodily harm and death. If you can bear it read it, the names and the stories of the women at #WeCantConsentToThis and #CountDeadWomen and #CountingDeadWomen

Honest, I am NOT making this up! :0) << sideways smiley face.

Could someone please explain to him you have to be BORN female to be female, although, I recall him telling folks, re filling in The Census, that 'truth' is what you perceive it to be. He'd ticked 'female', as I recall. He's now going to sue The Green Party for being horrid/horrid/ to him, because....all together now...because he's 'trans'.

How the f*ck do you use fae/faer in conversation? How do you even start to reprogramme your brain to do this? What do they even mean? They sound like they've been taken from Lord of the Rings!

Can you imagine a bunch of dudes answering what is a man? How many would say that women can be men? Or say 'intersectional' BS! None is the answer.

Women are a fucking disgrace.

Apart from GC ones obvz.

Voted today 😉

Did Womack say "I talk a lot about inter-sexual feminism..." ?? I've listened to it 3 times now and I'm sure she did. I thought "intersectional" was the approved adjective - but this is more honest :)) These young women selling out other women's rights to gain power for themselves - just shocking. I know who gets my vote.

Cannot believe her ridiculous throwing of toys.. she didn’t once answer a question succinctly. Sharar was cool and informed (I voted for him 😉) and the way she then uses the fact she is a ‘woman’ to try shit him down! Oh she knows what a woman is when it suit her. She came across as a petulant child, ‘no debate! No debate!’.. if she gets elected god help us all!

I couldn't listen for very long she was so childish and annoying. Just had a run-in with a BDSM dentist yesterday, have very low tolerance today.

*shut! Damn predictive text 😵‍💫

in this instance the predictive text worked quite well!

I guess you’re right 😂

Well yhere you have it accordin tae Cleo Lake "Being a woman is an attitude". Simples. 🥴😁🤣

Expand full comment

She fails to clarify what that attitude is sadly.

Expand full comment

Surely it makes no sense to question what a woman is if you are not also going to question what a man is? It just goes to show how one-sided this all is. Men are not being told that they are just a "feeling".

Womack must have got her training via the SWP in some way or another, and the woman posing the phone in question about transgender rights was definitely an DWP plant.

Expand full comment

DWP? Dept of Work & Pensions??

Sorry I didn't correct, I meant SWP! The vocal style very recognisable if you've experienced them a few times.

Ha ha!!!! 😂 I think I remember that from Union conferences. Very staccato with much peppering of forceful reiterations of, "The fact is . . .etc. "!

Hi Graham - how do I contact you about an elected post/holder in the Labour Party doxxing a fellow LP member, organising a pile-on & trying to remove her livelihood?

Just reply to one of the substack emails!

I used to vote Greens here in Sydney, Australia, but they have gone funny too, not as openly as in the UK. Nothing on this issue is really in the open in Australia, while it is in effects it becomes clear that there are some 't' sympathisers in big organisations, news leaders like the 'neutral' ABC, and already introduced sympathetic laws are in operation etc.etc.
