@JenniferSey Unfortunately he picked the wrong lane. As Andrew Sullivan astutely observed on Substack, Moulton has been to queer re-education camp and is now bowing down to the gender woo. He had to get this statement out quickly, before the mob descends.

[WomenAreReal @WomenAreReals]

Why do you insist women must ignore their boundaries and accept boys in their sports?

This girl was told by her school that in order to change her clothes without boys present she needed to declare herself mentally ill.

What message do you have for her?

[Kara Dansky @KDansky]

Hey Scott, I know, the gender zealots ("trans activists") are THE WORST, aren't they?

I was in this SF hotel in 2023, when they threatened to kill our conference attendees, unlawfully invaded the hotel to harass and intimidate women, destroyed hotel property, and assaulted the hotel manager.

In November of that year, I was in Portland, when gender zealots tear-gassed a group of women (including me) who were speaking out about male violence against women. Earlier that year, my friend @ThePosieParker was nearly trampled to death by gender zealots in New Zealand. There are countless other examples.

You might remember Posie. She is someone who approached you on the street to ask questions and express opposition. You ignored her and walked away.

It can be rough dealing with the people you enabled and encouraged.

Maybe now would be a good time to repeal the law you introduced allowing men to be housed in the women's prison? The laws that made it easier to transmit HIV? The ones that turned your state into a haven for human trafficking? Just a thought.

if my doctors had been “transphobic” I would have been spared a lifetime of medical issues and would not have undergone unnecessary amputations as a middle schooler.

Of all the examples of gender clinics using fraudulent diagnosis codes, this is the most blatant.

Other clinics hedge their language, but Howard Brown has the subtlety of the Kool-Aid Man:

"If you are prescribed hormones, you will receive a diagnosis of Endocrine Disorder."

They are diagnosing their patients with diseases they don't have so that insurance companies will pay for hormones they don't need. The patients get harmed, the doctors get rich, and the whole thing is paid for by you and me, through insurance premiums or taxes.

And for all of those thinking - 'Is this a crime? Sure does sound like one.' You would be correct.

This is, in fact, a federal crime. Not civil. But criminal. And recent prosecutions of doctors who have been found guilty of similar crimes have resulted in prison sentences ranging between 8 years all the way to 59 years.

A political culture that cannot tolerate honest dissent cannot self-correct — and a political culture that cannot self-correct will eventually face a reckoning far more disruptive than the dissent it suppressed.

[CAUSE @CAcause25]

Accuse us of lying all you want. We are not going to stop telling the awful truth about gender ideology.

Opposition witnesses from @WomenAreReals and @OurDutyUSA told the truth—SB 1114 will continue and deepen harm to women and girls due to the state-imposed belief that men are women if they say they are.

They both traveled hours to testify in Sacramento. Watch how they are treated. Accused of “misinformation” and “disinformation” and lying, then angrily silenced for objecting to this false characterization of their completely factual testimony.

We have an ideologically driven, drunk on power legislature in this state, and it’s a serious problem for Californians.

Fight.

"No child put on puberty blockers at the earliest state of puberty, and whose natural puberty is permanently blocked, will ever have an orgasm or be fertile.

No child can consent to that.

Around 2,000 children have already been given puberty blockers for gender distress. So that is ample information available on impacts and outcomes held by gender clinics.

It makes no sense to experiment on even more children whilst this exercise remains incomplete. 
Why isn't the Health Secretary prioritising the completion of this important data linkage study first before experimenting on more children?"

Utterly superb speech from Rebecca Paul MP during the PATHWAYS puberty blocker debate in the House of Commons. @Rebecca_SPaul is correct, the Health Secretary @jamesmurray_ldn is incorrect.

[Rebecca Paul MP @Rebecca_SPaul]

The Health Secretary doesn’t believe me that if you stop a child going through puberty that it will affect their sexual function and fertility! 🤯

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Trans women are men. All of them. It is impossible for a woman to be a trans woman. What you propose means women losing their sex-based rights. Those are the rights under discussion.

If you want to campaign for trans-identified men to have their own spaces away from other men, have at it. But you don’t want that, which proves that your priority isn’t those men’s safety. What you want is for women to sacrifice their safety, privacy and dignity to validate men’s identities. You are, in short, a men’s rights activist who berates women for saying no to your fellow men.

[Meredith Bell Brown @MBellBrown]

@WomenAreReals @AsmDawnAddis She has no argument. Instead she attacks the witness’ character and shuts down any discussion. She reframes any disagreement as moral wrongdoing.

[Maya Forstater @MForstater]

Any chance of facing up to the institutional lie that human beings can change sex, and that no one can tell what sex anyone is?

Judges, politicians, officials, media bosses all engage in this lie. And those people who refuse to have been hounded out of jobs.

Its a really basic bit of truth the great and good were willing to give away.

[Darren Sole 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @DarrenSole]

I am a homosexual male.
I am same-sex attracted.
Ellen Page sliced off her breasts, started synthetic hormones, and changed her name to Elliot.
This does not make her a man, but I am ‘transphobic’ for stating this fact.
And this is why the ‘LGBTQ+ community’ is a fallacy.

[WomenAreReal @WomenAreReals]

Lots of women (lesbians too) don’t feel included in a movement that puts boys in girls sports and male rapists in women’s prisons.

Stop making people bend the knee to an ideology they don’t agree with. It doesn’t help the acceptance of gay people and only serves to further prove your authoritarian impulses.

[Schrödinger's Lesbian ⚢ @IsleLesbos]

Another one to remember. Jean O’Leary calling out the misogyny of drag, addressing Rivera directly at NYC Gay Pride 1973. Have a listen. Lesbians were already fighting against the misogyny inherent in drag culture back then. Same old misogyny today. Even worse as men skin walk us

[Meredith Bell Brown @MBellBrown]

@aniobrien Nicely put. The exact same logic applies to trans and all the new gender identities that society is supposed to believe are more important than biological sex. Unserious concepts with very serious consequences. But not pretending is considered gauche / callous at best.

[MrMenno 🇳🇱🏳️‍🌈🎶 @MrMennoTweets]

Hi, gay man here. You first talk about LGBT+ people but then only about ‘trans’ people

Do you believe lesbians and gays having single-sex spaces is bad for ‘trans’ people? If so, why? And would you expect us to see homosexuality redefined to include those of the opposite sex in order to accommodate them?

[LGB Alliance @AllianceLGB]

Most gender non-conforming young people grow up to be gay or lesbian. So why are we treating them as though something is wrong with them? This is specifically an LGB issue and LGB Alliance has been saying so for years.

The research is consistent and has been for decades: the majority of children who present as gender non-conforming – who don’t fit neatly into social expectations of how boys and girls should be – grow up to be same-sex attracted adults. Happy. Well-adjusted. Gay.

That matters because the clinical response to these children has shifted dramatically. What was once watchful waiting, letting children develop naturally, has in many settings become active affirmation of a trans identity. The long-term consequences of that shift are not yet fully understood.

LGB Alliance does not oppose support for young people who are struggling. We oppose a system that tells a teenage lesbian she might be a boy and that medical intervention is the answer before anyone has asked whether she might simply be gay.

There is a word for the historical practice of telling gay and lesbian young people their identity needs to be corrected and that they need clinical intervention. We fought hard to stop it. We will not accept a new version of it.

Gay teens aren’t sick. They don’t need drugs or surgery. They need adults who will tell them the truth: being gay is not a problem to be solved. https://t.co/HizhksDdBs

[WomenAreReal @WomenAreReals]

When two icons of the women’s rights movement meet: one seasoned by more than a decade in the fight, the other newly battle-tested after taking on Scott Wiener.

Both forged in fire & mighty in spirit.

And both, as it turns out, tiny in stature.

“Dr. Spence, do you use the women’s restroom?” — @RepFine

“Of course not.” — Loudoun County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Aaron Spence

“Why not?”

“Because I would never use a woman’s restroom. I’m a MALE.”

Apparently Dr. Spence understands exactly why males don’t belong in a women’s restroom. He just won’t extend that same common sense to the girls in his district.
