Six times Kate Osborne herself used the word "epidemic" as a metaphor for an outbreak of a problem. Not the same thing as comparing the people affected by the outbreak to a disease. So why level that accusation at Kemi Badenoch? Shamefully toxic rhetoric https://t.co/EuMzKMSakN
‘With the weary air of a kindergarten teacher reprimanding toddlers, the minister went on to remind the committee “we have to use facts in this room, we can’t just make stuff up”.’ My latest https://t.co/nLcOLmDJtY
Kate Osborne has written to Kemi Badenoch demanding an apology. Just when you think she couldn't make any more of a fool of herself, she repeats her ignorant, childish and confected outburst in print.
It's beyond embarrassing.
1. When you said we have an "epidemic" of poverty, did you mean poor people are a disease? Will you apologise?
2. You believe in gender dysphoria: why is describing the spread of this disease as an "epidemic" suddenly a problem?
3. You're a liar.
You accused the minister of “using inflammatory language that likens children and young people coming out as trans to the spread of a disease”. She called you out. Badenoch & others have referred to the 1,604% rise in referrals to GIDS as “at an epidemic level.”
You’re a liar @KateOsborneMP. You’re also a disgrace to gay rights. Your wilful misunderstanding of child #safeguarding, despite the many times it has been explained to you is utterly shameful. We are grateful to @KemiBadenoch for being one of the few MPs to tackle this scandal.
"BREAKING:
I now face a 2-year ban by the CPU for speaking publicly about the unfairness of biological males being allowed to taunt female competitors & loot their winnings.
Apparently, I have failed in my gender-role duties as “supporting actress” in the horror show that is my #sport right now.
Naturally, the CPU deemed MY written (private) complaint of the male bullying to be “frivolous and vexatious.”

I want to tell everyone what they took from us, what irreversible really means, and what that reality looks like for us.
No one told me any of what I’m going to tell you now.

The usual BS about mass murders and s**cides of trans youth. End capitalism but free on-demand hormones and genital surgeries. But the most striking things always for me is how they're free to prance around saying this stuff without intimidation, any need for police protection or anyone trying to drown them out. When women try to speak, by contrast, these very same self-proclaimed victims turn up en masse to try to hound us off the streets.
If true this marks the end of sporting fairness for a whole generation of girls.
“Children who are socially transitioning will be allowed to play non-contact sports with those of their adopted gender, but contact sports should be separated on the grounds of biological sex, sources said.”

True to form from the BBC, the first voice and main story is given to a man who lies about the evidence. Women (whose issue it really is) get a balancing statement at the end. More bias from @BBCNews

'Cis' is ideological language, signifying belief in the unfalsifiable concept of gender identity. You have a perfect right to believe in unprovable essences that may or may not match the sexed body, but the rest of us have a right to disagree, and to refuse to adopt your jargon.
The so-called ‘gender guidance’ for schools will only succeed if it meets two tests:
1. Does it shift the burden for making complex legal and medical decisions about ‘transitioning’ children away from schools and teachers and onto the Department for Education? 1/1
A principled and popular decision with the crowd. Lynne Pinches refuses to play in this women’s pool tournament because her opponent is a trans-identifying male. Fairness matters in sport. Well done Lynne. 💪
PC Lynsay Watson, a trans identifying man, was disciplined for persistent online abuse of GC campaigners.
The contrast between what he had to do to get sacked with the relentless punishment of countless GC women for polite, civilised dissent is stark.
