This is the bit I don’t get.
I’d expect you to disagree with people who have a different opinion than you.
You’re a campaigner, I’m hardly expecting you to start agreeing with the other side.
What I don’t get is pretending the other side doesn’t even exist.
Barbie Kardashian and Isla Bryson exist. Detransitioners exist. Women asking for single-sex spaces exist. Gays who don’t want anything to do with the TQ exist.
As someone who claims to be an ally and a feminist I would expect much more from you than to dismiss all these concerns just because they don’t align with your worldview.
The reality is, countless gays and women have suffered here, otherwise there wouldn’t be any LGB groups or campaigners like @ni_wrn.
You can argue with every one of us if you want. That’s what debate is.
But saying we’re “inventing problems that don’t exist” is just pretending your opposition isn’t there.
Pretending the debate is imaginary because it’s more convenient doesn’t make it disappear.
As another man who once worked with me declares himself saddened by my beliefs on gender and sex, I thought it might be useful to compile a list for handy reference. Which of the following do you imagine makes actors and directors who aren’t involved with the HBO reboot of Harry Potter so miserable?
Is it my belief that women and girls should have their own public changing rooms and bathrooms?
That women should retain female-only rape crisis centres?
That men don’t belong in women’s sport?
That female prisoners shouldn’t be incarcerated with violent men and male sex offenders?
That women should remain a protected class in law, because they have sex-specific needs and issues?
That language should reflect reality rather than ideological jargon, especially in a medical context?
That women shouldn’t be harassed, persecuted or fired for refusing to pretend humans can change sex?
That women should not be threatened with violence and rape when they assert their rights?
That freedom of speech and belief are essential to a pluralistic democratic society?
That troubled minors, especially those who are gay, autistic and trauma-experienced, should be given mental health support instead of irreversible surgeries and drug treatments on non-existent evidence of benefit?
That gay people shouldn’t be pressured to include the opposite sex in their dating pools, nor should they be smeared as ‘genital fetishists’ when they don’t?
That cross-dressing heterosexual male fetishists aren’t actually oppressed, but having the time of their lives piggybacking off gender identity ideology?
That said ideology, and the privileged, blinkered fools pushing it because they suffer zero consequences themselves, have done more damage to the political left’s credibility than Trump and Farage could have achieved in a century?
Let me have your thoughts.
So even a grieving mother is not permitted to talk about the damage exposure to online porn etc did to her own child & how it made him reckless. She should parrot the untruthful lines TRAs want her to mouth because this murder isn't about the victim or the family, but them.
Unbelievable that the Democrats handed Trump the moral victory of excluding men from women’s and girl’s sport on a platter. Shows how complicit they’ve been in his reelection.
@jo_bartosch @i_iratus @SurrogConcern Or gay men might just have to develop a relationship with a woman to share children with, like go make friends with some women who want kids and you can build a family with.
Child, in a decade's time you're going to be deeply embarrassed that you supported this misogynistic, lesbophobic shit, and you'll be really glad I hid your name when I told you so. To future you: you're welcome. We were all young and dumb once.
The bravery of Gisele Pelicot continues to astonish me.
Today, her husband Dominique Pelicot finally admitted in court that he was a rapist.
She was applauded as she left court.
“If any man claiming to be a woman was actually a woman, their rights would have actually existed under the Sex Discrimination Act how it was before the amendments. It had to be amended so that men could be included as women.”
1. I had a conversation with a gay friend yesterday about the Trans debate and was reeling by the end of it. I wanted to address some of the commonly used arguments he used with confidence and which are often used;
