“More of a feminist than you’ll ever be” LOL except that men can never be women - stay MALE about it 😂 AGPs must go back to their wormholes PRONTO!

I'm pleased to see @jk_rowling publicly support @Glinner Graham Linehan at last. That was a long time coming. Thank you, JKR.

[Paddy O'Gorman @paddyjogorman]

After a long day outside Limerick Prison, it was fun talking to Graham on his podcast last night.

"I told her I will rape her with an object so that she would be so injured she would not be able to have children”. In an updated transgender special podcast, we hear from women in Ireland forced to share prison and hostels with trans-ID men

Strange, I know, but I find myself completely untroubled by the fact that total strangers don't understand why I think women's rights are worth defending.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Graham Linehan was arrested for saying that if a man refused to leave a women only space he should be punched in the balls.

This woman exhorts her followers to kill those she disagrees with politically and suffers no consequences at all.

Make it make sense.

Gay men and lesbians having to meet in secret because same-sex attraction is denied by gender identity ideology. Welcome to the new homophobia. https://t.co/16TWmCdbFn

In Kandahar, near the Taliban leader’s residence, women face hunger and despair. One widow says: “My family served in the former army, they were killed. Now I have nothing. We’re banned from work and even from begging for food.”

This is life for Afghan women under Taliban rule.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Feminism fought for women's sex-based rights.
Pretending males can also be female erases sex-based rights.
Calling women and girls 'transphobic' for wanting sex-based rights is misogyny.

Today 1465 days which Afghan girls are still banned from school by the Taliban.
And world leaders watching.
Please help Afghan women 🙏💔

[WDI.Afghanistan @WDIAfghanistan1]

Women and girls are not pulled out of Afghanistan earthquake rubble because men won’t touch them.
Afghan women cant be doctor and cant go to male doctor and Afghan women dont have rights to learn.
What are these meassges to world?

[Sara Wahedi @SaraWahedi]

The Taliban has banned 140+ books written by women in Afghan universities. Texts that ranged from safety protocols in chemistry, botany, to literature.

The last traces of Afghan women in academia erased under “sharia law.” The future of the country is dystopia.

‘Women on the left warned men like me that we were handing the right an open goal by embracing gender identity ideology. Now the right’s running with the ball we handed them I’m blaming the women, because I have the same capacity for accountability as your average house brick.’

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

I don't find the contents of this article by @HJoyceGender surprising, but it's probably significant that ten years ago I'd have found them both sinister and shocking.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

A little reminder for anyone who may be regretting their very public sprint to the front of the mob and is now trying to discreetly shove their pitchfork out of sight.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

In light of recent open letters from academia and the arts criticising the UK's Supreme Court ruling on sex-based rights, it's possibly worth remembering that nobody sane believes, or has ever believed, that humans can change sex, or that binary sex isn't a material fact. These letters do nothing but remind us of what we know only too well: that pretending to believe these things has become an elitist badge of virtue.

I often wonder whether the signatories of such letters have to quieten their consciences before publicly boosting a movement intent on removing women's and girls' rights, which bullies gay people who admit openly they don't want opposite sex partners, and campaigns for the continued sterilisation of vulnerable and troubled kids. Do they feel any qualms at all while chanting the foundational lie of their religion: Trans Women are Women, Trans Men are Men?

I have no idea. All I know for sure is that it's a complete waste of time telling a gender activist that their favourite slogan is self-contradictory nonsense, because the lie is the whole point. They're not repeating it because it's true - they know full well it's not true - but because they believe they can make it true, sort of, if they force everyone else to agree. The foundational lie functions as both catechism and crucifix: the set form of words that obviates the tedious necessity of coming up with your own explanation of why you're one of the Godly, and an exorcist's weapon which will defeat demonic facts and reason, and promote the advance of righteous pseudoscience and sophistry.

Some argue that signatories of these sorts of letters are motivated by fear: fear for their careers, of course, but also fear of their co-religionists, who include angry, narcissistic men who threaten and sometimes enact violence on non-believers; back-stabbing colleagues ever ready to report wrongthink; the online shamers and doxxers and rape threateners, and, of course, the influential zealots in the upper echelons of liberal professions (though we can quibble whether they're actually liberal at all, given the draconian authoritarianism that seems to have engulfed so many). Gender ideology could give medieval Catholicism a run for its money when it comes to punishing heretics, so isn't it common sense to keep your head down and recite your Hail Mulvaneys?

But before we start feeling too sorry for any cowed and fearful TWAWites who're TERFy on the sly, let's not forget what a high proportion of them have willingly snatched up pitchforks and torches to join the inquisitional purges. Call me lacking in proper womanly sympathy, but I find the harm they've enabled and in some cases directly championed or funded - the hounding and shaming of vulnerable women, the forced loss of livelihoods, the unregulated medical experiment on minors - tends to dry up my tears at source.

History is littered with the debris of irrational and harmful belief systems that once seemed unassailable. As Orwell said, 'Some ideas are so stupid that only intellectuals believe them.' Gender ideology may have embedded itself deeply into our institutions, where it's been imposed, top-down, on the supposedly unenlightened, but it is not invulnerable.

Court losses are starting to stack up. The condescension, overreach, entitlement and aggression of gender activists is eroding public support daily. Women are fighting back and winning significant victories. Sporting bodies have miraculously awoken from their slumber and remembered that males tend to be larger, stronger and faster than females. Parts of the medical establishment are questioning cutting healthy breasts off teenaged girls is really the best way to fix their mental health problems.

One seemingly harmless little white lie - Trans Women are Women, Trans Men are Men - uttered in most cases without any real thought at all, and a few short years later, people who think of themselves as supremely virtuous are typing 'yes, rapists' pronouns are absolutely the hill I'll die on,' rubbing shoulders with those who call for women to be hanged and decapitated for wanting all-female rape crisis centres, and furiously denying clear and mounting evidence of the greatest medical scandal in a century.

I wonder if they ever ask themselves how they got here, and I wonder whether any of them will ever feel shame.

Eight.

To suggest that women who don’t present in a “traditional feminine” way are being refused access to women’s bathrooms, and then additionally blaming women for it, proves the sexism & misogyny of gender ideology & it’s most loyal supports like this idiot here.

Humans can tell the difference between males and females. This is a fact. It actually has very little to do with clothing. There are thousands of gene expressions that make sex clear in almost an instant. Blind people can tell the difference. Deaf people can tell the difference. Basically, even if you don’t have use of all of your senses, you can still tell the sex of people you’re interacting with and/or those around you. It’s that ingrained. Even in the (very) rare cases that a second look is required - for various reasons, many not even to do with gender ideology - sex is confirmed on that second look. This was a very important evolutionary skill for survival. It is involuntary, primal and accurate.

But let’s just say, for fun, that this idiot has even half of a point: that there is an overcorrection by women from years of men invading women’s spaces. Perhaps a trauma response for some. It still isn’t women’s fault. Because it was MEN GOING INTO WOMENS SPACES. They are the first principle here.

Billy Bragg’s insistence that, no matter what the angle, women are to blame for everything actually only proves he knows that women are a distinctly different class of people to the men who claim to be us. He never blames them. And it’s him unknowingly admitting this distinction that makes him an idiot.

In case you were wondering: the Taliban leaders send their daughters to fancy schools in Qatar and Pakistan.
“Just for the record do your two daughters go to school?
Head of Taliban Office in Qatar - Of course they do.

This sums it all up. For their own daughters nothing is forbidden while for poor girls living in Afghanistan everything is forbidden.
