When Dire Straits took the stage at Live Aid in '85, most fans had no idea why Sting joined them, but when he started singing the opening lyrics to "Money For Nothing", they realized it was his voice on the radio hit which widely went unnoticed til then 🔥 Goosebumps when Mark Knopfler finally plays that guitar riff and the crowd takes over for the drums.
I’ve just seen a post from yet another man who thinks my position has shifted since I wrote my 2020 essay about gender identity ideology and the consequent clash of rights https://t.co/pasxBD1Hzl
For the avoidance of doubt, I stand by every word I wrote then. For instance: ‘woman isn’t a costume.’ If it surprises you that I say men don’t become women by wearing make up and dresses, you didn’t understand the essay. I’ve been crystal clear all along that I believe people are free to live and present themselves as the opposite sex if that’s what feels comfortable and authentic TO THEM. This appears to have been interpreted (most often, tellingly, by men) as ‘and it naturally follows that I, as a woman, will validate a man’s belief that he is now, to all intents and purposes, the same sex as me, and I will use only the speech he deems appropriate and will be very careful to protect his sensitive ego, no matter the cost to myself in pretending to believe a falsehood, or the loss of my own rights due to this pretence.’
Dress as you like within normal bounds of situational decency, wear lipstick, sequins and a beard if you want, call yourself whatever you like, have sex with any consenting adult you please: I wish you health, happiness and safety. What you don’t get is the power to compel my speech and belief.
When I call a man a man, I am speaking verifiable truth. It is essential to be able to accurately name sex when discussing fair sport, facilities and services for women and girls and the right of gay people not to be demonised for their same-sex attraction. In years to come, a lot of useful idiots are going to awake to the fact that they’ve been complicit in enormous harm done to women, girls, gay people who stood against the insanity, and some extremely vulnerable young people. I don’t doubt we’ll hear a lot of, ‘I thought I was just being kind.’ Such individuals, especially those in positions of power, should be asked why they never had anything to say about the loud, public, widespread unkindness directed against those who refused to adopt their fashionable, elitist beliefs, eg, the detransitioners being bullied and vilified by former ‘allies’, the whistleblowers who tried to stop an unregulated experiment on troubled children, the women who lost their careers and livelihoods by standing up for all women’s rights.
Some people appear to believe it a worse crime for a woman to call a man a man than for trans activists to call loudly and publicly for the assault and assassination of all women who refuse to bend the knee. I have never wished violence or any other kind of harm on a trans-identified person, but, like many other people who’ve defended women’s and girls’ rights over the past few years, I have received thousands of threats of death, rape and torture. The wilful blindness of those who bleat ‘both sides’ will rightly be judged harshly in times to come.
TL;DR Trans women aren’t women, and if that hurts your feelings, be grateful you live in a society where you are just as free to espouse gender ideology as I am to speak the truth. As Orwell said: ‘Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.’
I do not believe any teenage boy is going to be suicidal because he's not allowed to play on the girls' team. But if that ever were the case, this theoretical individual would be suffering from very serious issues completely unrelated to women's volleyball https://t.co/86NG9mFDYr
A pantomine horse isn’t a horse.
An open secret isn’t a secret.
A hot dog isn’t a dog.
A shrinking violet isn’t a violet.
Crow’s feet aren’t feet.
Fair game’s not a game.
Trans women aren’t women.
It’s not a high school girl’s responsibility to save a boy from suicide.
Teen girls should not have to miss out on safely playing sports and earning the rewards of that because a “relative handful” of mentally ill boys is allowed to hold them hostage because of their feelings.
@jeremycorbyn Fuck off you scruffy old twat. We get a new PM and the first thing you start banging on about is fucking Gaza. Nobody apart from you and the other terrorist sympathising cunts give two fucks about it. We want the government to get a grip of this country first. Fuck anywhere else.
Oh, boy, did you get the wrong woman. I’m a homicide investigator with experience working sex crimes, and I am _happy_ to explain why it’s still a fetish - to you, and to anyone else who wants to read along.
See, fetishes/paraphilias often start in prepubescence, long before any sort of sexual awakening. Some start even earlier than five. Jerome Brudos, for example, began his obsession with women’s shoes at the age of 4. He later went on to murder and mutilate multiple women, cutting off their feet so as to model his shoe collection for photographs.
He was an AGP too, by the way - or a transvestitic fetishist, if you prefer the traditional term. Lots of serial killers are; I can name half a dozen off the top of my head: BTK, Ed Gein (who was making himself a woman suit out of real women and is one of the models for Buffalo Bill) Russell Williams, Jacques Coatzee, Beate Schmidt, and Harvey Marcelin, for starters. There are plenty more. But I’m getting sidetracked.
Brudos is hardly the only example of a fetishist who experienced early stirrings, as it were. Enter any online fetish community, and you will find users who had a strong prepubescent affinity for what has now become a full-fledged paraphilia.
Claiming to have “known” since you were 5 in no way precludes your obsession with possessing a female body from being fetishistic. Given your attitude that your self-induced gynecomastia is your most important “womanly” trait, I’d say it’s a certainty that you’re a fetishist. Tell me, do you get euphoria boners like so many other “transwomen” do when they crossdress?
