I have fought against sex stereotypes for decades, since I was a tiny tomboy (who would grow up to be a very, VERY woman-oriented bisexual.) How (to 'reclaim' a term) has feminism and gay rights become so completely inverted? #ReFormLGB#LGBAlliance#FightHomophobia#SexNotGender
When I met Jolyon Maugham a few years ago I asked him what he had against LGB Alliance. He told me that it was because we could not possibly have held conferences at the QEII centre without men organising and funding us. When I tried to discuss this with him further he physically turned his back to me and told me that he refused to engage any further. He silenced me.
Then he took a case to the Charity Commission to have LGB Alliance struck off the register. He wanted to silence us.
Now he is saying he wishes to support women who have been "abused into silence". Are you planning to reimburse our supporters with the £250k your vexatious court case cost us Jolyon?
Let's flip the fear Jolyon - and get you in the dock for terrorising so many women over the years and abusing the law so to do.
@Gulfliving361@thefempire50 Did you _intend_ to write that reply as though it is calling a menopausal woman that preposterous slur for being on actual hormone replacement therapy or are you just extra bad at X?
@rebachick94@Fae_enby_babe@Onlygreenthings@latsot Actually, thank you for those screen shots. Now I'm quite comfortable in my opinion that you and your friend are nothing more than belligerent shit-stirrers incapable of rational discussion.
Go well.
@Gryffix They can play with women under the same circumstances any man can play with women, in explicitly categorized co-ed events.
Since they are male, they have no business in the women's division of competition.
🇪🇺 I spent ten years with the Greens and three decades in progressive politics and civil society. What made me speak out against gender identity policies were the extreme demands and the vicious campaigns against those who dared to question them. As a politician, I felt I had the responsibility and the opportunity to make a difference.
@Fae_enby_babe@Onlygreenthings@latsot Out of the two of you, posts & replies unseen, I know who I'd take seriously and whose narrative I won't. 🤣🤣🤣
Australian officials have issued a reminder to shut your car doors after one wombat helped himself to several passenger seats. The notice followed complaints from visitors at a popular picnic area, where the same wombat reportedly kept climbing into parked cars while people unloaded bags or packed up lunch.
At first, staff thought they were receiving several calls about one incident. Then they realized the cars were different. The passenger wasn’t.
One couple waited nearly an hour before he climbed out. Another visitor said he settled into the seat before she’d even finished putting her things in the boot. Officials asked visitors to keep their doors closed and contact staff if they found an unexpected occupant.
After the photos spread online, a park spokesperson clarified the situation. “He hasn’t been abandoned. He lives here. Please stop calling to say someone’s left their wombat in a car.”
That’s why we’re seeing the same kinds of arguments put forward in support as we did with the Assisted Dying bill: spurious or unevidenced claims, emotional appeals, refusal to listen to reason, etc.
When MPs cannot define what they are trying to protect and urge their colleagues to pass the bill first and let lawyers/courts work out its meaning and application later, they abdicate their responsibilities. They are unfit to hold office.
Interestingly, in the 60s what's now called "bottom surgery" was called "conversion surgery". In his influential book The Transsexual Phenomenon (1966) Harry Benjamin says the biggest motive for "conversion surgery" was becoming a straight woman instead of a gay man ⬇️
Fans of "gender identity" are freaking out about the ballot initiatives because deep down, everyone understands that if no boys are girls for the purpose of sports, no boys are girls for any other purpose either.
Oddly, even the ACLU's main "gender" lawyer understands this.
The NI Conversion bill is an absurd, half written and even more tyrannical one than the Westminster draft. No wonder the public responses look like this.
What a surprise to learn that Stonewall helped the government draw up the appalling Conversion Practices Bill. The organisation that tried to destroy our reputation when we published our schools guidance, which turns out to be in line with the Cass Review and the law. Unlike theirs.

📣 The draft Conversion Practices Bill is now undergoing pre-legislative scrutiny.
This dangerous bill could criminalise conversations between parents and their gender-confused children, harming the very people it claims to protect.
It is vital that as many people as possible submit written evidence to the committee.

We get a mention in the letters section of the @Telegraph today. The author is absolutely right, lesbians, gays & bisexuals are being used as camouflage to ensure Self ID is secured in law. The Bill is a transgender recruiters Charter, a shameful state of affairs.
Dr Bell is absolutely right. I can say with 100% confidence that had the conversion bill been the law when he blew the whistle, he would have been under criminal investigation as would Sonia Appleby, Susan and Marcus Evans, Dr. Matt Bristow etc......
The debate, in fact, shows the opposite of "deep divisions." It's actually quite straightforward. Americans are generally united on the topic of men competing in women's sports. We don't like it.

🚨BREAKING: Colorado’s new governor-elect Phil Weiser, who showed up at “No Kings” protests, is already signaling he wants to change two measures voters just approved.
Colorado voters passed ballot measures banning biological males from girls’ sports and restricting sex-change procedures on minors. Weiser responded by saying lawmakers will have to look at these “anti-trans measures” and decide what “adjustments” are necessary.
The same politician who rallied against kings now wants to override the clear will of the voters. This is the crowd that constantly cries “democracy.”
Finally. IT’S AP OFFICIAL!
*YES, YES, YES on 133, 134 & 135!*🎉
Colorado has voted YES on all THREE child-protection measures:
✅ Prop 133: The Children Are Not For Sale Act
✅ Prop 134: The Protect Girls’ Sports Act
✅ Prop 135: The Protect Kids From Irreversible Sex-Change Surgery Act
THREE PROPOSITIONS. THREE VICTORIES. ONE GIANT GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT.
In a deep blue state. Against millions in opposition spending. Powered by thousands of everyday Coloradans who refused to back down.
We the people did that! 🇺🇸
But the REAL winners? >>> THE CHILDREN OF COLORADO. ❤️ That’s who this has always been about.
