@micheal_olainn@Berlinnaeus It is privileges that trans ppl want, privileges that stomp all over women’s rights and then you have the audacity to show up and try and shut women up who come together to speak about their experiences of these violations. You are hateful, you are fascists. #LetWomenSpeakBelfast
We should not be compelled to say things that simply aren’t true. And we must not. If a grown man wants to wear a dress and believe he is a woman? That is not my business. He can do as he pleases, but do not expect the rest of us to warp reality to suit a personal belief.
A man is not a woman - no matter how sincerely he believes otherwise. That’s just a fact. There are men and there are women. End of story.
This is particularly pertinent in sport. Men have a clear and proven physical advantage. To allow them to compete against women is cruel. What individual takes any satisfaction from winning on such an uneven playing field?
Women-only spaces must remain for women. No exceptions. No debate. Women only. Privacy, dignity, and safety - all of that trumps ideology.
The woke policing of language, in healthcare particularly, must end.
Women get pregnant. Men do not.
Men have a penis. Women do not.
'Chestfeeding', 'people who have ovaries', 'birthing people' - put it all in the bin.
Crucially, we must keep this poison away from impressionable young boys and girls - forensically remove it from the classroom and any educational setting.
Today’s decision is an important moment. But it is only the first step on a long path back to some normality.
We now need firm and unapologetic action to remove men from women’s sport and spaces, and restore the principle that reality is not up for any negotiation.
Spare a thought today for the UK employers, government departments, health boards, academic institutions and sporting bodies who've been breaking equality law to appease activist groups. So many HR manuals to pulp. So many out-of-court settlements to pay. #SupremeCourt
Extremist actions have consequences.
We are now in a position where the extremist gender ideology could potentially compromise the entire gay community.
Two years ago, I pinned a message to my profile stating that the pendulum would swing back too far if this didn’t get under control.
Here we are, you have yourselves to thank.
Extremism actions breed extremism responses.
PS: if you think for one second, I will not criticize the Republicans advocating for gay marriage to be overturned, you have me all the way wrong.
We do not all start out as female. Stop it. If you learned this, then unlearn it. Especially stop it if you are trying to use this myth to push the idea that humans can change sex or that some humans aren't male or female at all. You look stupid. Stop being stupid.
WRN has today written to the CEO of the @ICC.
We have requested that they no longer support the Afghanistan men’s cricket team, and that the team is banned from international competition until women and girls can live as free citizens in Afghanistan.
The details emerging about what the rape gangs (why call them 'grooming' gangs? It's like calling those who stab people to death 'knife owners') did to girls in Rotherham are downright horrific. The allegations of possible police corruption in the case are almost beyond belief.
Almost two-thirds of trans-identified male prisoners in the UK are convicted sex offenders. That doesn't mean all trans women are dangerous, it means trans-identified men are no less dangerous to women and children than other men. Sincerely, Some Author.

'Where's the evidence trans-identified men ever harm women?'
'No sexual predator would EVER dress as a woman to get access to victims.'
'Only bigots claim cross-dressing can be a fetish.'
May 2025 be the year we get men out of female prisons, sports and single-sex spaces 🙏
#SaveWomensSports For the FOURTH year in a row, the VSGA Senior Women's Golfer of the Year is a man.
"Read more about Andrea’s dominating year in the November/December issue of Virginia Golfer."
But of course, I'm told they don't dominate, so surely this must be a mistake.

The German government gave over €200,000 in funding to a recent research project labelling transphobia a "threat to democracy."
One of the "experts" behind the research is a trans-identified male with a history of threatening violence against women.

"trans ppl really do see themselves as the gender they present themselves as"
Yes, that's probably true. But the rest of society "really does" see them as the sex they were born as.
So why is the onus on the rest of society to gaslight ourselves, ignore the evidence of our eyes and ears, change the way we think and speak, change our own definitions of "man" and "women", lower our child safeguarding standards, put women at risk, roll back gay rights AND upend the norms and traditions that have formed the bedrock of civil society for 100+ years just so this tiny group of entitled men don't have to face reality and can continue living in their sexual fantasy land?
Sorry my guy, doesn't work like that. Society cannot and will not bow down to the disordered whims of a few mentally ill men.

"It is uncontroversial to name an adult female sheep a “ewe” or to know that our scrambled eggs come from “hens.” Humans have long used nouns that denote individual animals by their species and sex (and often stage of maturity), including in relation to our own species: a “woman” is an adult female human.
The least controversial of this triplet is “human.” Nobody disputes that the word “woman” applies uniquely to humans. And (almost) equally uncontroversially, “adult” denotes an individual who is fully developed and no longer dependent on others. Much of society has deemed that a human becomes an “adult” during late adolescence.
So it is “female” that is the source of controversy. Yet in biology and medicine, in the hundreds of thousands of textbook references and papers, it is no more controversial than “human” or “adult.” Almost all animals reproduce sexually, via the fertilisation of an egg by a sperm, and 95 per cent of animal species—including all mammals and birds—are divided into two reproductive classes of individual who, in the absence of illness, injury or disease, produce either eggs (females) or sperm (males). Like other animals that give birth to live young, female humans also provide their developing baby a safe space in which to grow during gestation.
To describe as “female” a ewe that (just like a woman) has ovaries, a uterus and a vagina, who (just like a woman) produces eggs and gives birth does not attract handwringing analysis of what “ewe” means and whether some rams might be counted as one. It is a peculiarly human and almost religious practice to distinguish our own species from the rest of the animal kingdom, in this case with regards to sex. But the answer to the question “what is a woman?” is—like the answer to “what is a ewe?”—an almost mundane description of age, sex and species, albeit one with human significance in life and law, sport and data, and single-sex spaces and services. Just as a “ewe” is an adult female sheep, a “woman” is an adult female human."
The thing is, @IndiaWilloughby, I really do enjoy cigars, whisky and facing down totalitarians, so by the same arguments that make you a woman, I am indeed Winston Churchill.
What is _wrong_ with this woman that she is _so_ determined to continue providing vulnerable kids with a drug treatment that is so dangerous, and for which there is no evidence whatsoever of benefit? Share token https://t.co/s9rM3RCIwQ
This is “Gabrielle Darone,” the trans-identifying man who joined a support group for grieving mothers in order to carry out a simulated pregnancy and stillbirth. The women who objected to his presence, and to his requests to breastfeed someone else’s child, were banned. 1/
“Out of 244 transgender prisoners [in the UK], both trans men and women, 181 are behind bars for rape, pedophilia, grievous bodily harm and violent robbery.”
And these are the “vulnerable” men whose privileges matter more than women’s rights.
