The DailyMail ran a piece on @Lea_Christina4 and the 2 year ban she's facing for opposing males competing in women's powerlifting.

They reached out to said male for comment, and this was his response. So kind, tolerant, loving, and welcoming to all🫶🏼

Some extra important info worth mentioning:

Dosage: The T dose levels given to trans identified females are at male levels, 300-1000 ng/dl. That is a VERY high dose.

Meanwhile, the highest female range is usually 5 times lower than this. T levels caused from PCOS in females are not even close to being this high.

Bone health: There is mixed evidence for bone density risk / osteoporosis on T. However, we know that suppressing E does contribute to bone density loss and future risk of osteoporosis. Healthy levels of estrogen in females is a key component for growth and maintenance of bones.

The NHS is reportedly creating 244 new jobs across three departments focused on diversity, inclusion and 'people'.

£13.8 million in salary costs alone.

At the same time, they refuse to help reopen an empty network of advanced cancer facilities.

Are NHS priorities correct?

[The Heretical Liberal 🇨🇦 @Rob_ThaBuilder]

UK government now defines the following things as "domestic abuse":

- correctly sexing your child
- refusing to pay for transition services.

It's important to appreciate how Orwellian this is; They're creating a paradigm where child abuse is framed as care, and turning legitimate child safeguarding into abuse.

These aren't some minor policy tweaks, it's a brute force attempt to change the very fabric of society by undermining the parent-child bond that has formed the core social unit for the entirety of human history up until now. And this dystopian power move is being snuck through the backdoor, without any debate and without our consent.

Fuck that shit.

Dear lingerie retailers,

It’s time for you all to be exceptionally clear with your customers.

If you have physical stores with changing facilities for your patrons, you may already be aware of the growing threat toward your customers, as well as your vulnerable staff members.

You have a duty of care to the women who work in and visit your stores. Women have the right to know if they can be safe and comfortable using your facilities.

Having worked as a lingerie fitter on a high street store for a number of years (without in house security) I can assure you, that sharing an enclosed space with a male requiring ‘bra fitting services’ would be a dangerous expectation to have of your staff, and an unnecessary risk, regardless of how that male chooses to identify.

I can also assure you, that in spite of strategic hygiene strips on undergarments, the idea of men having access to trying on these goods before they are returned to the racks, is stomach churning.

A woman or girl going through significant body changes, whether that be due to pregnancy and birth, the ageing process, mastectomy, even puberty, deserves a dignified shopping experience.
Your staff being able to cater to such customers with compassion and empathy, will undoubtedly be a top priority for your brand, when recruiting and training.

Wouldn’t it be a shame to make your devoted customers uncomfortable, by opening up the most essential sex segregated spaces on the high street to males?

How dramatically are your sales likely to drop, should you choose to commit to catering to the needs of men, rather than the women your products are designed for?

Please clarify which of you are still committed to meeting the needs of your key demographic.

I posted that I find the term cisgender offensive. I think it’s offensive to suggest that anyone identifies with silly regressive stereotypes that go along with their sex.

I find that insulting. We are so much more.

Well, apparently some people really really want to call you cisgender. Just saying #CisIsASlur or #CisgenderingIsMisgendering will get you all kinds of people calling you hateful. Yes, I got called hateful all night because I don’t want to be labeled.

You see, I don’t think it is freeing to wear a gender stereotypes label like a name tag. I find it quite oppressive. I am a woman because I am an adult human female. That is my sex. I am, however, free of gender labels. Because I don’t label myself. What I am is finite. WHO I am is unlimited.

But just saying all this makes some folks really really angry. They really really want me labeled and in a box.

I say no. No gender labels for me. My age is adult. My species is human. My sex is female. I am a woman. You can keep your cisgender labels. Cis is a slur.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Never forget: it's far too unsafe for trans women to use men's bathrooms/changing rooms, because they might get assaulted.

However, it's completely fine for any man who identifies as a woman to use women's bathrooms/changing rooms, because rapists will rape women anyway.

[Dennis Noel Kavanagh @Jebadoo2]

So it begins. Get used to this. You lot stoked this backlash with your excesses and overreach. Corporations were your friends. Then you became a risk to their profits. See how easily they turn on you and this deeply misogynist, homophobic ideology you've been pushing.

There is nothing more destabilising to society than to dismantle the legal, social and cultural guardrails that protect women and children, by pretending that people can change sex, and allowing that pretence to creep into law. Full speech https://t.co/wCGMVHRD9h @SexMattersOrg

@astor_charlie @esmer65 Most shops complain about losing business to online shopping, but clothes shops had an advantage that customers could try before they buy.
If they don't protect this service/advantage, then they'll deserve to lose customers!

Solid point from @drunkpopinjay. The Scottish Parliament is crying out for some intellectual diversity, curiosity, exchange of ideas, robust critique, openness to being persuaded. But instead, we're stuck with bland tribalists reading pre-scripted platitudes to each other.

@JamesEsses @Oxfam @stonewalluk Stonewall is just a cult headquarters by this point.

Train 'em up, and send 'em out.

Get the doctrine into as many places and policies as possible before the public realise what is happening.

[James Esses @JamesEsses]

Well would you look at that:

The Head of Influencing at @Oxfam previously worked for @stonewalluk for over 5 years, including in the role of Director of Campaigns and Policy.

Is it any wonder Oxfam are putting out such divisive and vitriolic rhetoric?

"Everyone at heart wants to be a sissy"

Nah bro. That's just you and a handful of your buddies who couldn't hack it as men and figured it would be easier to be a woman.

And it is. Not that it's easier for a WOMAN to be a woman, she has all the inherent disadvantages built into her sex and she cannot self id out of those. But it's absolutely easier for a MAN to be a woman, especially in the current environment where they are fawned over, celebrated, and instantly placed on the top of the women pyramid (from a societal standpoint) above all the actual women.

And of course, like all men, they always retain the ability to self ID back into maleness if it's a situation that's advantageous to do so. Real women don't have that luxury
