@MarcAlmond Wish I could go back to posting mundane stuff.
Can't get it out of my system, unfortunately.
Primarily, because the word that MEANS my system, female, is the one men keep stealing for their identities.
And the law is poised to enable more of that schtick.
So on I go.
#Female
Look at this sad angry little man. He thinks feminists and women who disagree with him that males can change sex through the mighty power of their own sexism are ugly. I'm devastated, attracting men like him is the point of feminism, right?
Let's do some logic, shall we?
1. If sex and gender are not binary, then
2. How do men know that they feel like women? Because this
3. Presupposes that the only alternative to man is woman, and that
4. Not feeling like a man is equivalent to feeling like a woman 1/2
For those of us catching up on the topic of #Surrogacy, here's an article by Julie Bindel who will be speaking at FiLiA2019 on the Sunday.
'As a feminist campaigner against sexual abuse of women ... I feel sick at the idea of wombs for rent.'

This is not ‘settled science’ by any stretch.
If any scientists/medics/educators/healthcare professionals/other relevant disciplines are interested in formally addressing this, please DM me.
Brilliant talk from @charlie_sci - this is the story which must be heard if we want to understand the huge increase in teenage girls seeking transition.
Equally law requires us to balance the rights of all & find the least discriminatory option. Discrim is fair if its a propionate means to achieve a legitimate aim. Women’s right to safety, privacy & fairness is a legitimate aim & single sex spaces are the way society achieves it.
"Mermaids is not giving pupils a choice that they may just be gay or lesbian. Instead, it is diverted down a drastic path that ultimately ends in surgery. To be propagating such information to schools is disturbing.”

In just over 24 hours following the public launch of our crowdfunder, we met our initial target of £5k. We now have £7.5k worth of pledges and we are enormously grateful to everyone who has donated. THANK YOU https://t.co/7LJJpKuqiv
Just one question: can you define ‘non-binary’ And how is it different from being a gender non conforming man. Which by the way is the right we gay campaigners have been fighting for. To be different kinds of men....
To those arguing that we should respect a narcissistic pop star’s demands to be seen as plural, I present the results of this journalist acceding to Jacinta’s similar demands https://t.co/JH5QntDhI4
This is what the Mermaids-style 'affirmation' approach to children in schools really means: normalisation of drastic medical intervention. Blockers at 12 in most cases will lead to hormones, sterility and a lifetime as a medical patient. https://t.co/HyLA9NnSLV
