The gang's all here!

Three biological sexes, my God

Safe Schools Alliance @SafeSchools_UK

‘What are the three biological sexes?’ This is being used in a U.K. secondary school. The parent would like to know where the resource came from. Would anybody like to own up? Unscientific drivel must not be taught in our schools. It is a #safeguarding concern & it is illegal.

Reading list

Is it just me or are we seeing more and more fantastic writers pushing back against gender identity, cancel culture and simplistic leftist moralising? A whole brace of examples this week…

How the new anti-LGB fundamentalism of gender extremism mirrors the homophobia of the 1980s by Gary Powell Link

Sex Deniers are the New Flat Earthers by Nathan Williams Link

Parents deserve answers before medicalising their kids by J. Michaelson Link

Angus Fox on how trans-language traps people in dysphoria Link

…and my favourite, Sanctimony Literature, a stunning piece of literary criticism by Becca Rothfeld, whose Substack can be found here.

Look at this little fascist

Dr Ellie gearing up to cancel a colleague. Whoever received this email, you know you can just tell her to fuck off right?

Dr. Jane Clare Jones @janeclarejones

Very non-binary of you.

The sacred caste

They’re not even hiding it now.

Dr Hannah Čulík-Baird @opietasanimi

transphobia is intolerable and to be condemned in the strongest terms. trans folk, you are sacred and you are welcome here. classicists, we must support our trans students and colleagues

Feminists! Are you on Medium or similar? Back up your shit

Feminists blogging on Medium and similar sites, please read and absorb this brilliant comment from one of my subscribers.

“Medium is owned by Twitter so there is no point using it for blogging unless you archive immediately. WordpressDOTorg is owned by Alphabet, who own Google - so that is a dead loss if the snipers spot you.

Anything you want to keep, write or copy it offline. Archive like crazy and bookmark so you can find it again.

These are not normal times. We need to get used to the fact that, for the moment, we are seen as dissidents and are treated as dangerous subversives.

This has happened underhand and it is difficult to grasp. I struggle to keep reminding myself because it is like the world has gone mad - because it has.

We are dealing with people who trade in magical thinking - but they also have power and influence. It is like the NHS is run by homeopaths and when you go to A&E they diagnose using dowsing rods and palmistry, and triage using tea leaves and a crystal ball.”

So if you’re using any 3rd party blogging platforms, back up your business.

Happy lesbian visibility week!

Natural Top 🏳️‍🌈 Super Existential Threat @NaturalTop

This is excellent satire. Thank you for highlighting the problems lesbians have been facing on dating apps, etc. I'm sure, as a fellow comedian, you know Graham Linehan did this first, but you're approach is a bit more "earthy." 👍🏽 Fyi: @artymortyarty @jessesingal @kittypurrzog

Jordan Raskopoulos @JordanRasko

I want your mum to buy me flowers https://t.co/ODK1eeEV4H

Oh, my God

Again, is this satire? It’s becoming harder and harder to tell. Someone has set up a petition to have Sam Smith’s tattoo become the new non-binary flag.

Oh, mate

Mate, you’re literally just a bloke wearing blue lipstick.

Amrou Al-Kadhi 🦄 @Glamrou

I was on #AllThatGlitters @BBC2 last night. All the hosts & contestants of the show used my non-binary pronoun throughout without ever making a deal out of it. And guess what...? Nothing catastrophic happened. I just felt comfortable, and we got on with the show. That’s it. Xx

They’re so desperate

Apparently, I’m being accused of calling a transwoman ‘it’ because of this reply to someone.

Leonora Christina @JammersMinde

Could someone please tell me where in this screenshot a person is described as “it” because I’ve looked several times now and all I see is a photograph referred to in this way.

Patrick Harvie is a racist

They just can’t help themselves. Patrick Harvie comparing men to black (and disabled!) women. How do they keep getting away with this disgustingly racist talking point?

Black Together Again @KProtein19

Racist genderists are at it again. Note how Black women are always at the tip of their tongues for thia false equivalence. *Males* have fuckall to do with Black women, or any women for that matter. Stop exploiting Black ppl to advance your predominantly white cause. #peaktrans

Whiterose @Whiterosehip01

Patrick Harvie, comparing trans identified males to black women on @SkyNewsBreak What a racist, women-hating W⚓ #HarvieHatesWomen https://t.co/UHMs3JJIQZ

Devastating interview with a detransitioner

Stella O'Malley @stellaomalley3

Shocking interview between Buck Angel and an 18-year- old who was prescribed cross-sex hormones as a vulnerable 13-year-old. 13!!! instagram.com/tv/CN8DVvVjbKR…

Buck Angel® (TRANSSEXUAL MAN) @BuckAngel

I am pissed off because I interviewed a young TW who was put on Puberty blockers. She told the world how it has destroyed her life. I am not talking out of my ass! I am going to the source! Have the fucking conversation people. Before we have more collateral damage. https://t.co/Mlava0MdHO
