[Prof. Gary Francione @garylfrancione]

Trans ideology represents a profound level of violence: it proposes the outright abolition of women as a sex class and characterizes as bigotry/discrimination any concern about that abolition. The fact that many people don't see this shows the strength of misogyny.

[Sall Grover @salltweets]

“The longer this continues, the clearer the message: in Australia, a man’s claim to womanhood now outweighs a woman’s right to exclude him. That is not progress. It is institutionalised misogyny dressed up as human rights.”

[Colin Wright @SwipeWright]

My scholarly article "Why There Are Exactly Two Sexes" has been accessed over 50K times, placing it in the top 8 of all articles in the journal's history.

Activists refuse to cite it or acknowledge it exists.

I'm still waiting for someone to publish a scholarly scientific takedown of it. You'd think this would be a top priority for those asserting "sex is a spectrum" who believe my work is bigoted, pseudoscientific, and actively harming a vulnerable community.

Until then, you can read it and arm yourself with a thorough understanding of the 5 major frameworks that activists and activist scientists use to undermine the binary nature of the sexes and why they all fail.

I’ve just seen a post from yet another man who thinks my position has shifted since I wrote my 2020 essay about gender identity ideology and the consequent clash of rights https://t.co/pasxBD1Hzl

For the avoidance of doubt, I stand by every word I wrote then. For instance: ‘woman isn’t a costume.’ If it surprises you that I say men don’t become women by wearing make up and dresses, you didn’t understand the essay. I’ve been crystal clear all along that I believe people are free to live and present themselves as the opposite sex if that’s what feels comfortable and authentic TO THEM. This appears to have been interpreted (most often, tellingly, by men) as ‘and it naturally follows that I, as a woman, will validate a man’s belief that he is now, to all intents and purposes, the same sex as me, and I will use only the speech he deems appropriate and will be very careful to protect his sensitive ego, no matter the cost to myself in pretending to believe a falsehood, or the loss of my own rights due to this pretence.’

Dress as you like within normal bounds of situational decency, wear lipstick, sequins and a beard if you want, call yourself whatever you like, have sex with any consenting adult you please: I wish you health, happiness and safety. What you don’t get is the power to compel my speech and belief.

When I call a man a man, I am speaking verifiable truth. It is essential to be able to accurately name sex when discussing fair sport, facilities and services for women and girls and the right of gay people not to be demonised for their same-sex attraction. In years to come, a lot of useful idiots are going to awake to the fact that they’ve been complicit in enormous harm done to women, girls, gay people who stood against the insanity, and some extremely vulnerable young people. I don’t doubt we’ll hear a lot of, ‘I thought I was just being kind.’ Such individuals, especially those in positions of power, should be asked why they never had anything to say about the loud, public, widespread unkindness directed against those who refused to adopt their fashionable, elitist beliefs, eg, the detransitioners being bullied and vilified by former ‘allies’, the whistleblowers who tried to stop an unregulated experiment on troubled children, the women who lost their careers and livelihoods by standing up for all women’s rights.

Some people appear to believe it a worse crime for a woman to call a man a man than for trans activists to call loudly and publicly for the assault and assassination of all women who refuse to bend the knee. I have never wished violence or any other kind of harm on a trans-identified person, but, like many other people who’ve defended women’s and girls’ rights over the past few years, I have received thousands of threats of death, rape and torture. The wilful blindness of those who bleat ‘both sides’ will rightly be judged harshly in times to come.

TL;DR Trans women aren’t women, and if that hurts your feelings, be grateful you live in a society where you are just as free to espouse gender ideology as I am to speak the truth. As Orwell said: ‘Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.’

[The Heretical Liberal 🇨🇦 @Rob_ThaBuilder]

Its a great question and one with a relatively straightforward answer:

Why IS the large amount of energy spent brute forcing weird language changes entirely directed toward changing the language used to describe women - "pregnant people", "uterus havers", "menstrators", "ppl with vaginas" - but absolutely none designed to change language used for men? Where is the energy devoted to changing "men" into ejaculators, penis people, or testicle havers?

The reason is simple: its a movement entirely devoted to advancing tbe interests of fetishistic men, period. Nobody in this movement - including the trans themselves - gives the slightest shit about the trans identified females. They are the movements Useful Idiots, their existence is entirely devoted to one role: to validate the mens claims that they are "real women" by making it appear to be a universal phenomenon instead of a male-specific fetish.

This is why the women are more or less required to take the testosterone, to gave their breasts removed and (sometimes) to get the fake flesh roll penis in order to be considered a "real man" in the trans community, but a man is not required to take drugs or surgeries to be validated, he is a woman at the very second he declares he is. The women need to pay the cost in blood and flesh in order to be validated, the men simply need to recite the magic words.

In pop culture terms, this is why Ellen Page needed to cut her breasts off and take deformity-inducing levels of tesosterone to "be a man", but Bruce Jenner gets to keep his cock, throw on a dress, and @VanityFair declares him Woman Of The Year.

The hilarious irony of all the libfems supporting this nonsense is how they see "The Patriarchy" is so many situations in life where it doesnt really exist, and yet when the purest, most male-centred version of Patriarchial control appears, they support it with the vigor and intensity that their suffragette foremothers fought for the right to vote

[Ella Frei @EllaFrei17]

They taped maps in our hallways telling girls where else to go. We were expected to perform humiliation rituals so the adults wouldn’t have to make a decision. Then they hired lawyers to make our case disappear.

Yesterday, I decided to once again confront my school board.

[Sall Grover @salltweets]

There are only two sexes, and when anyone tries to deny this they literally only list the two sexes - male & female - never a third or fourth, exactly as you have done. Seyer Syndrome, for example, is not a third sex. It’s a condition within the female sex.

There really is no need to beclown yourself to get men into women’s sport, because even if there was a third sex, it would just create a new sport category, not put men in women’s sport.

“Why don’t more women confront men who claim to be women in women’s spaces?”

So, this is how they behave in public with someone they are actually intimidated by, law enforcement.

I see this video has gone somewhat viral again recently…

It still blows my mind that all these people have is their mantra…“but, but transwomen are women”.

They are not. Transwomen are literally males.

Don’t pander to this make-believe. Just say no.

[Sall Grover @salltweets]

Nice try but it still wouldn’t turn men into women, losers.

[Sall Grover @salltweets]

Any man who threatens or encourages violence against women who want women only spaces is providing evidence of why we not only want women only spaces but need them.

[Kirralie Smith @KirralieS]

I have been ordered to pay $95,000 in "damages" to two men in women's sport because I apparently hurt their feelings. It is potentially going to be doubled because I didn't pay in 30 days. So that is $190,000 in total to reward two men in women's sport. I am appealing in the NSW Supreme Court, so for now, there is a stay on the orders.

@salltweets has been ordered to pay a man $20,000 for not allowing him on her female only app. His hurt feelings claim is hoping to be challenged in the High Court. Sall is still waiting to see if leave will be granted for the appeal.

Jasmine Sussex could have to pay up to $95,000 to a man with hurt feelings who falsely claimed he could breastfeed a tiny baby. Her case is still to be heard by a Queensland tribunal.

None of these numbers include the court costs which run into millions.

Others have lost jobs, been censored, gaslit or threatened if they speak the truth or object to the lie that men can be women.

Men who wish they were women not only want to dominate our sports, spaces and services, they are also trying to make money as they go. It appears quite lucrative if they succeed.

Stand with us. Men are not women and we should never be penalized for stating the facts - especially in court where evidence and facts are meant to be paramount.

5 reasons to abandon preferred pronouns

[Sall Grover @salltweets]

It is the job of legislators to consider all intended & unintended consequences of amendments. @JuliaGillard’s answer here is an admission that her government did not do their job.

Therefore, she remains Australia’s first woman prime minister who destroyed women’s rights, even if she didn’t mean to.

It is, however, true that there is no evidence that legislators *did* intend for women’s sex based rights to be destroyed by adding gender identity to the sex discrimination act. That has happened because of ideological activists in the sex discrimination commission, the custodians of the act, who have interpreted the law to the point of removing women from it (but don’t worry, men who claim to be women are covered by law for potential pregnancy…). Also, the judiciary has arguably been legislating from the bench.

This is my opinion: I don’t care how or why they did it at this point. I care about fixing it. The fact that *this week* the @AlboMP government has dismissed the issue, blocking both @SenatorCash & @PaulineHansonOz’s bills, will only serve to make him look even more foolish than Julia because he can’t hide behind not knowing the unintended consequences.

“As challenging as Grover’s arguments might be to sections of the community, we really see no reason why a version of her article could not have been published in the first place...Indeed her campaign to change the law is now a public conversation, and the ABC should not deny its audience the opportunity to hear from its central player.”

Pleasantly surprised to see @ABCmediawatch come down on the side of @salltweets in her saga with the ABC over its rejection of her article on the importance of women's sex-based rights.

Well done Sall on getting the ABC to call out its own failings! 👏👏👏
