♀ Radical Feminist | Lesbian (female homosexual), not queer or LGBTQI+++ | Not 'Cis', as gender is an oppressive hierarchy | Left | Biochemist | Lecturer
Young lesbians please avoid LGBT organizations, as most of them are at the moment anti-lesbian. They have as main objective support of transgenderism which is a homophobic and misogynist ideology. If you need support try contacting lesbian-only groups or radical feminist groups.
The European Court of Human Rights has declared inadmissible a challenge brought by a trans man who was registered as the mother of a child, despite having a Gender Recognition Certificate in the male gender.
Make no mistake, this will include parents who are convinced their healthy child may simply grow up to be gay and would like them to pause, talk and think carefully before drastic surgery...
Parents convicted of ‘conversion therapy’ face five years jail.

It’s a busy day in politics but this is a very significant legal victory for FWS. The Scottish government policy of housing men who identify as women within the women’s prison estate has been found to be unlawful by the Outer House of the Court of Session.
Today I learned about Cathleen Quinn, who had to serve an extra 5 years in prison because she complained about a trans-identifying male inmate perving on her.

I admit to a certain morbid fascination with people like @stellacreasy and @NadiaWhittomeMP who brazen it out after being caught misrepresenting parliamentary process as it applies to the EHRC Code of Conduct - even after @akuareindorf and @Scott_Wortley have gone to immense lengths to explain, in great detail and with superhuman patience and courtesy, why they have got it completely wrong.
But their betrayal of lesbians and women in general - and their sheer dishonesty in refusing to admit openly they still want to replace all sex-based rights with self-ID - are not remotely fascinating. Just grotesque.
It was odd and depressing to see numerous MPs invoking the ‘LGBT community’ when speaking against the EHRC Code of Practice which, in reality, simply provides guidance on existing law.
Not one of them saw fit to mention the pivotal role of the ‘Lesbian Intervenors’ in securing the Supreme Court ruling which upheld the rights of lesbians and gay men.
Maybe they simply can’t see any letters before the ‘T’.
NEW: Poll shows that the vast majority of people prefer straightforward single-sex facilities in workplaces and public spaces.
This varies little by age or voting pattern. Politicians who prevaricate over the Supreme Court judgment are out of step with the public.
Sex Matters commissioned an independent, nationally representative poll. We asked:
“For each of the following, do you prefer them to be single sex or mixed sex?”
Hello @AOC, while you smiled in a hijab at a New York event, I was in Federal Court facing the 4th hitman hired by the Islamic Republic to assassinate me, for campaigning for Iranian women to have the same freedom you performed for a photo op. Will you come to court with me in August when I face the 5th hitman? Or does solidarity only work when it doesn't offend the Islamic regime?
You wore hijab voluntarily in New York. Women are killed in Iran for taking it off.
You are the very woman who, at every opportunity, protests against violence against women, decries gender segregation, and champions "inclusion." Yet here you stand, smiling and wearing a hijab, at an event in New York, in the heart of the West, where men and women are strictly separated. To me and millions of Iranian women, this does not look like a choice. It is no longer "My body, my choice," but rather "My body for votes."
They who claim to fight for women's self-determination in the name of feminism voluntarily embrace an ideology that mandates our women cover their hair simply because they are women. They enjoy the prosperity, freedom, and privileges of the Western world, where they may live as autonomous individuals , yet they simultaneously accept that other women should not be afforded the same rights.

This. If it was about wanting somewhere safe and private to pee, third spaces would be fine. It’s not. It’s about claiming territory, validation, and winning.
Dominating, intimidating and humiliating women is the point.
Billions of people around the world are poor. They don’t sell their daughters to be raped by old men. BBC is disgusting for covering this with empathy.
If you heard that a man was thinking about selling his seven-year-old daughter into marriage or domestic servitude, who would you feel sorry for? The dad or the girl? The man treating his own child as property to be traded for cash, or his daughter, the innocent made into chattel for gross creeps to barter over so that they might secure themselves a child bride?
All normal people would say the daughter. Of course we would. Not the BBC, though. Our public broadcaster has told precisely this horror story, only it paints the men selling their daughters as the victims, not the girls who are being sold.
Meet the 'Afghan fathers' who are 'forced to make impossible choices', it blubs, blissfully unaware of how sick it sounds to the rest of us to play a tiny violin for men who sell girls into slavery.

I'm sorry, but people have been making excuses for selling their daughters into sexual slavery throughout history, and all of them make the same excuses, but it does not change the fact that they did it because they simply do not value their daughters properly.
How do I know? Note that they always consign their daughters to this before their sons or themselves. Note that their entire society normalizes it. Note that even Western outlets covering this find the fathers' "impossible choices" sympathetic and more worthy of coverage than what his daughter must think, being raped on a daily basis and knowing that her very own flesh and blood are responsible for dooming her to that fate. Note that the news stories do not ask why it is fathers making this decision, and not the mothers.
From ancient China to modern Afghanistan, feeding yourself off the underage sexual exploitation of your own daughters is morally reprehensible, and I would simply rather die myself than ever consign any child to such suffering. The fact that these fathers do not feel the same when it comes to their own daughters is proof of their monstrosity, and the moral depravity of the BBC for asking us to identify with them rather than their daughters.
The 'tomboy' characters in Enid Blyton books were important role models for girls who didn't conform to 'girly' stereotypes. These characters told them 'you're fine as you are.'
Now girls are given the opposite message. Now they have to turn into boys to be okay.
Not once does this article ask "who is buying children and why?"
Nor does it ask "why are they selling their girls, not boys?"
Is a lack of basic curiosity a requirement for the BBC now?
