@bindelj I just read your “Weasel Words” post, and I would go one further: it’s slavery. Slavery is alive and well and women are the slaves, men the slave-owners, buyers and sellers. But Women Don’t Matter, as usual.

This is better than any speech from a politician we’ve heard recently 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

@peterboghossian I hope you tell them it’s suicidal to do so. Yes, the Dems have serious problems, but voting for T would be like (as my mother used to say) “cutting off your nose to spite your face.”

@michaelshermer @RichardDawkins @sapinker I’ll be seeing him in Vancouver!

[marian bantjes @bantjes]

@swanhellenic @RichardDawkins Yes, I read every detail, and then emailed you.

@CraigBaird @DrJenGunter One of my all-time favourites; along with “The Big Snit.”

@Monica_Y_Harris @realDonaldTrump @TheView Well, he’s right only in that they are hypocrites. Otherwise he’s 100% wrong. It’s ridiculous to put the shooting on them—“the media” should tell the truth, regardless of consequences.

@jo_bartosch Super interesting!

@TruismsT / —and to his credit, he didn’t force me—but I returned home that night, confused and feeling filthy. In retrospect I’m amazed at how I thought I knew what I wanted, but at that age having no true understanding of it (this was the 1970s).

@TruismsT When I was 14 I started hanging around a man who worked in a record/stereo store—he must have been around 30. I was hopelessly “in love” with him. After a while he asked me out (I told him I was 16). I was not at all prepared for or understanding of the sex that was unfolding /1

[marian bantjes @bantjes]

@soniasodha @HJoyceGender I love your wording—we need to change the narrative: “It's sex discrimination not to provide females with female-only changing facilities.” “It's sex discrimination not to provide female athletes with female-only sports.” Etc. …

@MForstater I can’t even … it’s literally otherworldly. This guy makes my brain explode. I don’t know how you can stand it, Maya. You’re an amazing heroine.

@OkayBiology @jk_rowling Does anyone have the rest of this clip? I can’t find it, but I’d like to know what he thinks “the reality is …”

[marian bantjes @bantjes]

@jessesingal Why?? Why would they do this? They can’t claim “care” for people in this situation. It’s so evil, I could almost believe they’re a deeply homophobic organization determined to purge the world of gender non-conforming—usually gay—kids. It’s absolutely horrifying. /2

[marian bantjes @bantjes]

@jessesingal Despite knowing the dangers of “gender transition” interventions, I’m actually shocked by this. I had assumed they were going on faulty data, perhaps blithely ignoring contradictory research, but that they were actively manipulating and corrupting research is mind-boggling. /1

@_CryMiaRiver @MichelleAlleva And “GCs are bioessentiallists, but there are girl-brains and boy-brains and you can tell the difference by affinities toward engineering/trucks or nurturing/dolls/unicorns.”

[marian bantjes @bantjes]

@_CryMiaRiver @MichelleAlleva Not to mention “We’re all about gender diversity, but boys like blue and girls like pink—it’s in our flag” (plus conformity to every other gender stereotype).
