That diminutive Guardian Etch-a-Sketch user - He gets everywhere doesn't he?

Male insertion into and control over female lives and bodies has been the goal as long as patriarchy has existed. Nothing new -- this is just the latest example. Objectification of women and girls has always been one of its most powerful tools. Now, we are literally being objectified out of existence.

Well there it is, plain as day, an admission that the movement is about men being allowed in women's spaces. No GRC required. Only "I identify as a woman" and voilà, a predatory male gets free and easy access to a smorgasbord of victims.

I appreciate Stonewall UK's candidly self-serving definition of "trans". No doubt we will see a cutback of image losses when writings such as Helen Joyce's "TRANS - When Ideology Meets Reality" (OneWorld) and Linda Blade & Barbara Kay "UNSPORTING" (Rebel News) gain traction.

What burns my ass is the double standard. “Upset that men are in the women’s changing room? Why do you care? Why are you obsessed with people’s genitals?” But EVERY SINGLE thing they say can be turned back in them. Why do they care about changing in the men’s room? Why would other men care about changing with trans identifying men? They’re arguments only work if what women want doesn’t matter. That’s it. The whole reason they supposedly need to in add our spaces is because they feel uncomfortable and scared, but for some reason, they apply a different standard to women. They couldn’t be more blatantly sexist.

I can't answer (7 days jail...the US guys).

They are either being repugnant on purpose as a wind up, or they are pedo's.

Twitter is very disheartening in this respect.

If people want to insult me blah, blah whatever.

It's that if you tweet something true and forthright, you know the snivelling little creeps will gang up and report.

Women are not transwomen. Simple, no?

Remember the 1990s? When "trans" was shorthand for post-operative transsexual ... and Hayley off Corrie was the only one anyone had heard about 😆

What happened to post-operative transsexuals btw? Are they still a thing? 😕

"That’s because the rights of transexuals have been invaded and appropriated by charlatans like the non-elected, non-Welsh, non-binary, shit-pirate Mayor of Bangor."

OH MY ACHING RIBS! We love you, Graham Linehan!! Great big smile!

Off-topic but I don't know where else to put it. New emojis apparently include a "pregnant man" (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/jul/16/pregnant-man-and-multiracial-handshake-emojis-approved-for-launch). Maybe we could propose that it be used as to mean SNAFU or "fuck-up", in the same way as the humble aubergine means "penis".

It's that cocky little turd's face – gets me every time. That and the same-old weekend-punk dress code. Suburban teen rebellion high on power and with a gloss of self-rightous spite.

Here's a thread that's worth a read.

Maybe women who have achieved academic status, the women who have proven qualifications, the academics who do not want trans men to identify as women, should begin to search for a way that they can speak without being deplatformed. When Shakespeare wrote that the pen is mightier than the sword, I have to declare, I found it true when I read it. I am a believer in a few truths, 1st The truth will always defeat a lie. 2nd when times change language must change. 3rd nobody cares unless you show them why they should care. 4th show people the truth in a new way of speaking and show them why they should care. It is lazy to keep speaking of men and women, when men are allowed to identify as women. create new aphorisms, new scenario's, new ways of declaring the truth. On a battlefield surprise is the chief enemy of laziness. Find a way to demonise the enemy with new meaning and new words but never lie
