Adult human female, lifelong feminist. Politically heartbroken. The language we use to describe things matters, and our language has been colonized by ideology.
@nnncurtis@MichelleLA1981 I am offended by this, and it has nothing to do with homosexuals.
Men are in womenโs changing rooms, watching us undress. They are competing in womenโs sports, housed in womenโs prisons and taking womenโs awards. And now a high school massacre is a womanโs crime.
@_CryMiaRiver@ConnieMarkie The central reality that the vast majority seem to completely fail to grasp is that these medications are HARMFUL. Full stop.
To celebrate a large cohort of children and young adults STAYING on medications that are harmful is heinous.
@JennyMorri72146@WomenandGirlsAB This is phenomenal.
You are a force to be reckoned with.
BC women are watching and hoping, and taking inspiration from.
Disability Rights UK opposes the law of the land, specifically the Equality Act 2010.
It also opposes the disabled people it purports to represent.
It places a far, far greater priority on the wishes and feelings of men who say they are women than on the needs of disabled people.
In all its talk of healthcare and the lamenting of gender-addled people being placed on wards relating to their sex, it does not *once* mention the necessity of single-sex intimate care for disabled women.
It does not say that disabled women should be allowed to choose the sex of the person carrying out their intimate care, which most often takes place in the woman's own home, far from supervision.
It sees this as a far lesser priority than men being allowed to invade female wards, where they are known to be a danger.
Could there possibly be more of an indication that Disability Rights UK has *entirely* lost its way and is no longer a disability rights charity at all?
The charity's statement does say one thing that initially seems to support disabled people:
"We are appalled atย implications from the Codeย thatย an adequate workaround isย trans people using Disabled toilets instead."
I fully agree. However, it goes on to explain that its concern is not about disabled people who will lose our accessible facilities altogether if anyone and everyone is permitted to use them, but for the men who will be sad if they can't invade women's spaces.
Not "accessible spaces are under threat of colonisation by the able-bodied", but "we will not be used as a โloopholeโ in the wider erosion of trans rights."
That is exactly the wrong way around.
Disabled people have known for a decade that the major disability charities are hopelessly captured. They're pulling a Stonewall by going after easy money and cheap non-solutions to the problems disabled people face every day. They're throwing us under the same bus Stonewall threw same-sex attracted people under.
We've known this and we've tried to fight it but we haven't been heard.
The gender war against disabled people is about to intensify and we don't have many allies.
Can I ask you to share this, to demand answers from the major disability charities if you can and to remember that gender ideology is not just a war on women, children and same-sex attracted people, it's a war on disabled people too.
And we often feel as though we're fighting it on our own.

@babybeginner@cmf61 This is so incredibly heartwarming.
I know you and I have some differences in our POV on issues, but Bruiser is an amazing centring force. He is love embodied. It is such a joy, watching your journey with him. Bless you all.๐โฅ๏ธ๐๐ป
@Jebadoo2@Oismur Thatโs a really interesting perspective Dennis.
This whole promotion of the sparkle rainbow is like a circus. And with scouts especially, this message is really problematic.
@SamanthaNiblet4 Nonsense. Nobody is obliged to lie that a man is a woman, and it is abusive to frame coercion to participate in that lie as something desirable or reasonable. This gaslighting of people about biological sex of opposite sex impersonators is authoritarian and it must stop.
@JohnPaulDanko@vincentneilho@PierrePoilievre@CPC_HQ John, maybe you should start asking women who have supported the NDP and Liberals their entire lives why they are considering supporting Conservatives candidates.
I do not find it hateful when someone stands up for women by seeking to uphold the long agreed on definition.
