Tricky, because I already know what genitals my husband has. Would you accept both of us acting surprised once we’re naked? Or could we just shake hands first and agree that we’ll soldier on even if something’s changed since last time?

Thank you, Jonah! 🙏

Gender ideology is an illiberal, backwards way of thinking that I make no apologies for opposing.

Heres a bit of my explanation as to why.

@MattWalshBlog @Chic_AvantGarde Die? No… slow, excruciating torture. The rest of his life should be Hell on Earth. I want him to cry out for the mercy of death daily, only to have his screams go unheard while he is brought to the brink over and over and over.

@fem_mb I really do appreciate your fashion posts! I wouldn’t keep up otherwise and they are a refreshing escape that I look forward to 👗

@fem_mb Something about 1940 speaks to me, also love 1910

@GBNEWS I find it rather pitiful that I am being used in this manner, particularly since I have championed individuals rights to be and look however they desire, but what I am NOT doing, is buying into the absurd fiction that anyone can ‘change’ their gender!! And women have RIGHTS!! M🙄

@FrankConniff Same… my mom thought I was nuts to want to be Edith Prickley for Halloween when I was 8, but she let me shop the vintage stores for the look. SCTV was everything to me.

@LailaMickelwait @Alisdisgrace If this had happened to a dog, men would be outraged! But a woman? Crickets.

[Shannon ♀ @ShannyRants]

@listen2tish I laughed through this, not because it was funny, but because he made me so uncomfortable… all “I, ME, MY”… I can’t. So disturbing.

There are only four hours left to vote for the TERFIES. Some of the races are quite close. If you haven't voted yet, please do!

@nickshirleyy Well done, David, for making all these connections!

[Shannon ♀ @ShannyRants]

@DailyMail @grok what is this article about?

[Shannon ♀ @ShannyRants]

@fem_mb Reported.

[Shannon ♀ @ShannyRants]

@fem_mb One of my earliest memories was Luke and Laura’s wedding!

@listen2tish You are amazing, Tish. You have so many supporters. Ignore the detractors, they are just noise. Find your peace.

'He has a point, but he's too blunt.'

From the start, a key tactic of the gender identitarians has been linguistic prescription, and it's proved shockingly successful. Trans activists' shibboleths and euphemisms have been allowed to penetrate the upper echelons of our culture with devastating consequences to freedom of speech and belief. Huge swathes of liberal media, the arts, academia and publishing have thrown themselves with gusto into the defence of a quasi-religious belief causing provable real world harm, and in their arrogance they've been outraged when people they assumed were part of their In Group have refused to march meekly along in lock step.

Time and again, I've seen and heard well-educated people who consider themselves critical thinkers and bold truth-tellers squirm when put on the spot. 'Well, yes, maybe there's something in what you're saying, but it's hateful/provocative/rude not to use the approved language/pretend people can literally change sex/keep drawing attention to medical malpractice or opportunistic sexual predators. Why can't you be nice? Why won't you pretend? We thought you were one of us! Don't you realise we have sophisticated new words and phrases these days that obviate the necessity of thinking any of this through?'

As the vibe shifts, and a lot of people in the elite professions start trying to reposition themselves, the obvious place to start is, 'it's not that I couldn't see your point, but did you have to say it that way?' We dissenters were supposed to find a way of questioning the chemical castration of children while calling it 'gender affirming care.' We were meant to defend the rights of vulnerable women while also using female pronouns for male rapists. We should have found a way to discuss fairness for women and girls in sport, while pretending that the ineradicable physical advantage men have over women doesn't exist.

Either a man can be a woman, or he can't. Either women deserve rights, or they don't. Either there's a provable medical benefit to transitioning children, or there isn't. Either you're on the side of a totalitarian ideology that seeks to impose falsehoods on society through the threat of ostracisation, shaming and violence, or you're not. The alternative to being 'blunt' - using accurate, factual language to describe what was going on - was to surrender freedom of speech and espouse ideological jargon that obfuscated the issues and the harms caused. We've always needed blunt people, but we need them most of all when being asked to bow down to a naked emperor.

@fem_mb @FondOfBeetles @mara_yamauchi @DerryBanShee This is awesome, Jennifer!
