Does anyone else feel that there is no normality anymore? It’s not a chaotic state of anomie. It feels like a deliberate shift in the plates of society. I am truly furious.
"can you tell us unequivocally whether you consider trans women to be female or not?"
Who do these arrogant pricks think they are? You're no more obliged to consider trans women to be female than you are to consider unicorns to be real. Non-belief is a legally-protected characteristic.
They're like the old "ceistears" who used to call on people in their homes to check their knowledge of the bible and admonish them if they got it wrong. In the 21st century you're free to believe any anti-scientific crap you like; others are free to tell you where to shove it.
Grindr is for men no matter what they choose to call themselves. Women are just not allowed to have any space exclusively for themselves, either in the real world or even online. Enough already.
I really appreciate that Sal Grover not only created an app for girls and women, but also made sure that, through A.I. facial recognition software, only females could access it. BUT, that name..."Giggles"! There is no way I'd ever access a girl/women "empowering" app with that title. "Giggles" seems to scream that girls and women are not to be taken seriously.
Just in case any biology deniers from Pink News are reading, there is no such thing as "trans female" (or "trans woman"). Female is a biological class that excludes males, by definition. It is rooted in fundamental biology, and no amount of wishing will make it different - it is as futile as claiming that you are a "trans sparrow". I sincerely hope that Giggl has some way of keeping men pretending to be women off the platform.
Do you think men are female? I would say pink news is now become the equivalent of The Watchtower magazine but that would be an insult to my local JW’s who know I don’t believe the same as them and don’t insult me for it on our doorstep chats (at least pre covid when they still came round)
While we were filming this, Gwent police were questioning a disabled woman for posting feminist stickers
Oh, so it’s “Trans women are female” now is it Ryan? Get out of my biology class at once.

‘Everything in between’?! What an absolute shower.
"whether you consider transwomen to be female or not"
Bloody hell, is this the same Pink News that described "adult human female" as a disturbing and hateful dog whistle?
I do wonder at times whether they've really thought this through.

I can answer those questions unequivocally - no and no. just like the majority of the world can, apart from delusional and destructive TWAWsers.
'non-binary people'. Hm that would be MEN then, eh?
Oh, and they took the word 'woman', and that wasn't enough, so 'female' had to go to men too. Hateful
Oh people being banned from Twitter for talking about biology and (its... well its a private business)!
Giggle is private business ...soo!
Excellent discussion, Glinner, so thanks for sticking yourself out there like you do! 👏

Just vented on Pink News Facebook page but still seething.
Gawwwd they're such bullies! I swear it's bionic high school shite. Sall's going to eat them for dinner! Eeeediots.

Seething angry about the "female" comment. Wrote a short verse about actual females, who over a hundred years ago fashioned the Suffragette's Penny:
With female force the stamp did land,
A woman's stand that message spread.
Words that burned on sovereign head
Were passed from hand to hand -
The Penny turned
