What we are constantly told is 'trans liberation' is the opposite of left-wing socialism of any sort. It is hyper-individualism, with zero class analysis.

Opposing it even mildly - such as asking for a female-only changing room - has led to working-class women being fired, losing their livelihood, upending their lives, and it's rendered entire sectors - such as the arts and academia - extremely hostile to working-class people with extremely ordinary, mainstream opinions on sex being materially definable and important.

On that: can I just say how irritating it is to see the rich arts wankers of my Old Life campaigning for a universal basic income for artists, when they hounded one of the only self-made, non-Russell Group uni educated, self-starting, self-taught artists and producers out of her (my) successful career in the arts after I worked my arse off for 20 years to build my own career AND an entire scene they've now all but destroyed due to this shit?

You grifting hypocrites. You've no idea how to build things without an arts grant. No clue how to be inventive, or creative, when you've got nothing. No idea what *actually* proving yourself as a poet, or writer, actually entails. No conception of what poverty is like, which you fetishise endlessly despite never having experienced the grind of it. You've nothing but demands, and rank entitlement.

If you have to ‘identify’ as a woman it’s because you are a man.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.

If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.

If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.

If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

As another man who once worked with me declares himself saddened by my beliefs on gender and sex, I thought it might be useful to compile a list for handy reference. Which of the following do you imagine makes actors and directors who aren’t involved with the HBO reboot of Harry Potter so miserable?

Is it my belief that women and girls should have their own public changing rooms and bathrooms?

That women should retain female-only rape crisis centres?

That men don’t belong in women’s sport?

That female prisoners shouldn’t be incarcerated with violent men and male sex offenders?

That women should remain a protected class in law, because they have sex-specific needs and issues?

That language should reflect reality rather than ideological jargon, especially in a medical context?

That women shouldn’t be harassed, persecuted or fired for refusing to pretend humans can change sex?

That women should not be threatened with violence and rape when they assert their rights?

That freedom of speech and belief are essential to a pluralistic democratic society?

That troubled minors, especially those who are gay, autistic and trauma-experienced, should be given mental health support instead of irreversible surgeries and drug treatments on non-existent evidence of benefit?

That gay people shouldn’t be pressured to include the opposite sex in their dating pools, nor should they be smeared as ‘genital fetishists’ when they don’t?

That cross-dressing heterosexual male fetishists aren’t actually oppressed, but having the time of their lives piggybacking off gender identity ideology?

That said ideology, and the privileged, blinkered fools pushing it because they suffer zero consequences themselves, have done more damage to the political left’s credibility than Trump and Farage could have achieved in a century?

Let me have your thoughts.

[pagliacci the hated 🌝 @Slatzism]

if you are capable of violently ending your own life in public because your desires weren't indulged by every single person you encountered, that is a clear sign that you are severely mentally ill and need to be institutionalized

[Genevieve Gluck @WomenReadWomen]

The creator of the trans flag 🏳️‍⚧️, US Navy veteran Robert Hogge, who goes by Monica Helms, used to steal his mother's underwear to masturbate into.

He then began stealing random women's underwear for sexual reasons - and has written erotic fiction stories, one of which is about an adult man marrying a teen girl who doesn't age.

As Hogge began using hormones to alter his appearance in the 90's, he was working at a pornography store.

Hogge / Helms began referring to himself as a lesbian and dressing up at the porn shop - including wearing prosthetic breasts - a behavior he soon replicated at his day job for Sprint.

Female colleagues who complained that he was using the women's restrooms at the company were told to use another facility, as management feared legal action from Hogge.

The trans flag creator divorced his wife despite having bankrupted his family by overspending on his fetish. After the divorce, he began frequenting sex clubs to participate in orgies.

[Prof. Gary Francione @garylfrancione]

Feminism that incudes TiMs isn't progress, it's misogyny in disguise. Why? Because any ideology that says that being a woman is a matter of stereotypical presentation and "feeling," and not sex, stands in direct opposition to feminism, as well as reality. They're incompatible.

[Sall Grover @salltweets]

“Trans history” is pretty dark and utterly unworthy of celebration.

In the early 20th century, there were some men claiming to be women while some doctors were trying to find a cure for homosexuality. Not all the men claiming to be women were gay, but some were, and there was basically a hypothesis that gay men were actually women in men’s bodies. It was pure homophobia.

In 1931, a man who called himself “Lili Elbe” had his genitals surgically removed AND a uterus inserted into his abdomen. He died a mere 3 months after the uterus implant surgery because his body rejected it (because it wasn’t supposed to be there), infection spread & he died of a heart attack. He had been married to a woman. Eddie Redmayne, the actor who can’t resist any opportunity to sign an open letter against JK Rowling, played Elbe in a movie called “The Danish Girl”.

A few other men had similar surgeries (at the very least, dick removal) and met a similar fate.

Then there were the sexologists like Kingsley & Money of the mid to latter part of the 20th century, two guys who really wanted to justify attraction to really young people (CHILDREN) & decided that breaking down societies sexual boundaries was the best way to do that. Money was instrumental in creating the idea of a “gender identity”. Infamously, he experimented on two little twin boys, lying to one of them that he wasn’t a boy at all. Both of the boys ended their completely destroyed lives in adulthood.

While “gay rights” became increasingly powerful throughout the 90s & 2000s, with legal marriage rights as the ultimate goal, (heterosexual) men who claim to be women were meeting in secret wearing women’s clothes & essentially indulging their fetishes but there was very little, if any, public acceptance. A few women were claiming to be men, these women were almost always lesbians & their confusion/delusion has basically been attributed to intense internal homophobia. Fair enough, to a point, as it was still rampant enough. Some men were wearing women’s clothing in public (think Eddie Izzard), but they weren’t claiming to be women. They were different to, say, David Bowie who pushed fashion boundaries but they were no where near the claim that “trans women are women”. “Trans woman” wasn’t yet in the lexicon.

During this time, a lot of academic courses on “womens studies” were changed to “gender studies”. Very, very different studies.

By 2013, same sex marriage was legal in the UK followed by the USA in 2015. A lot of very well organized and funded “LGB” organizations had 2 choices: (1) pack up completely or (2) go to countries where homosexuality was (is) still illegal & do the work there. They chose option 3: gender identity. The “T”. Trans.

There was money in gender identity, see. For example, in Australia, the Aids Council Of New South Wales (ACON) was a well funded organization to defeat AIDs. They did. But now, they push puberty blockers & cross sex hormones. Same pharmaceutical industry, very different intention.

Basically, what started as homophobia suddenly infiltrated LGB organizations because homosexuality was accepted & they had little left to do. LGBT, LGBTQ, LGBTQI, LGBTQIA, 2SLGBBTQIA+ officially begun!

Now, men could be lesbians, women could be gay men, children were born in the wrong body which needed immediate pharmaceutical intervention, gay men & lesbians who refused sexual advances from the opposite sex were “genital fetishists�� and any woman who said that a man couldn’t be a woman was a bigot.

(I’d argue that the “genital fetishists” are the ones who cut theirs off, but that’s for a different post).

[Ray Alex Williams @RayAlexWilliams]

Most of the appeal of transgenderism for young people is that it answers the question “Who am I?” and lays out a series of actionable milestones that people can take concrete steps towards, giving a sense of structure and direction in a nihilistic and spirituality empty culture.

Often people with predisposing risk factors (AGP, autism, etc) find themselves “suddenly realizing” they’re trans in the depths of some kind of existential life crisis and the trans-gnosis serves as a kind of identity gestalt switch that rapidly realigns and reconstructs the autobiographical self-construct, creating a sudden epiphany that all their life problems will be solved if only they transition to the opposite sex.

However, this usually only creates a temporary sense of euphoria so long as progress is continuously made on these “milestones.” But eventually the reality of quotidian life hits and the fantasy fades but by this time they’re ideologically captured and victims of inertia and the sunk cost fallacy. Detransition is seen as “treasonous” to the movement.

Some, like myself, however, will eventually have another epiphany that brings the entire ideological edifice crashing down to reveal the deep truth which was there the entire time: we can never run away from the reality of our biological sex. Never!

[Gabriel @jamaisamei]

Trans Ideology is so funny because you will have a male "feminist" fighting against a woman fighting for women's rights while he believes he's fighting for women's rights when he's actually fighting for male privileges.

Trans Ideology just means the opposite of everything.

[Serena @Serena_Partrick]

Andrew Tate - beats, assaults, rapes, pimps, & traffics women & minors.

J.K. Rowling - sets up global charity for children in care, secretly funds women being rescued from Afghanistan, creates & pays for rape crisis centre.

Morons - tHeSe r Da sAMe tHiNg 🤪

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

I understand why men like Oliver, who've consistently mocked anti-science people on the right, sold out initially. They didn't want to blow up their careers. Taking fashionable anti-women's rights positions was the cost of doing business.

But it's time to read the fucking room.

[Sall Grover @salltweets]

Actually, Mark, it’s not.

Human rights cannot take away rights from other people. What is being demanded by “trans rights” takes away women’s rights to single-sex spaces & sport, and *everyone’s* right to freedom of speech & belief.

If you can find a way to get “trans rights” without taking a right away from a single other person, be my guest. But it’s very telling that it has never even been attempted.

[Brandon M Showalter @BrandonMShow]

People need to realize that "sex worker" can also mean pornographer, pimp, and escort agency operator. "Sex work" is a phrase designed to obfuscate the grotesque nature of the global prostitution lobby.
Horrendous degradation.
Don't get it twisted, prostitution is paid rape.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Congratulations to every single person on the left who’s been campaigning to destroy women’s and girls’ rights. Without you, there’d be no images like this.

[Diana Alastair💚🤍💜 ⚢ ❌❌✡️ @sappholives83]

This image perfectly encapsulates trans activism. A trans person peed there. No one harassed them, or told them no; they could easily have done their business and gone on with their day, bothering no one and causing no ill will.

Instead, they chose to vandalize someone else’s property in order to shove their presence in everyone’s face.

It’s a dominance move, like a dog pissing on a tree: “I was here; I invaded your space, and now in order to make sure that you feel invaded, I will call attention to my transgressive behavior and remind you that you are powerless to stop it.”

It takes something that should have been private - something that no one minded when it was private - and makes it not only public, but a problem for other people. Someone is going to have to touch that toilet to get that sticker off, and in the meantime, every woman who uses that bathroom will be reminded not only that she is unsafe there, but that she is a second-class citizen who is unsafe everywhere. It leaves a bad taste in the mouths of everyone who sees it, and serves only to make people more hostile to trans activism specifically and trans people in general.

I shudder to think of how difficult the battle would have been if the creeps and fetishists hadn’t spent most of it repeatedly shooting themselves in the foot. Without the constant display of bad behavior from trans people, and the success of Operation #LetThemSpeak, I think we would have lost this fight. We almost lost it anyway. I just hope that one day, all of the people who cost themselves the victory will realize that they have only themselves to blame.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

A noisy part of the left still refuses to step outside their sex-is-a-social-construct bubble and acknowledge that their embrace of gender identity ideology has been a calamity. They were warned the right was capitalising on their betrayal of women and girls. They didn't listen.

[Amy E. Sousa, MA Depth Psychology @KnownHeretic]

Feminine boys are boys. Boys ALWAYS grow up to be men. There is no other possible thing for them to grow into.

Men who destroy their endocrine system with body altering hormones and get extreme plastic surgery to feminize their external look are MEN. This is an example of an experience men can and do have.

Men can have almost infinite experiences as men. The one experience men can NEVER have is being a woman.

It is sexist and abusive for men like Wu to attempt to emotionally manipulate people into pretending they are women.

I AM kind: to women and girls who deserve boundaries around their bodies and sex based language to politically advocate for their unique physical circumstances.

[The Heretical Liberal 🇨🇦 @Rob_ThaBuilder]

The list of critiques against Gender Ideology is long and growing, each one of them should be easily sufficient on their own to completely discredit this dangerous ideology in any sane society; the homophobia, the misogyny, the child safeguarding issues, the gaslighting, take your pick.

But one critique that doesn't get talked about as much - but which is equally valid - is that it Transgendersim is a profoundly anti-humanist ideology, which destroys the idea of the sacrality of the human body.

Whether you're religious or atheistic, I think there are strong benefits to having a fundamental worldview of the human body as sacred. From that worldview, a belief in universal human rights, racial equality (not equity), social equality (not equity), gay rights, as well as religious beliefs and strong communities, flow organically and effortlessly.

I believe that any ideology that treats the body as a fungible meat suit, a biological Mr. Potato Head doll where one can mix and match body parts, stitching whatever you want anywhere you want to place them is a fundamentally anti-humanist belief system that cheapens and devalues humanity to the point where - if left unchecked - would inevitably become a major threat to the continued health and well being of the entire species.

That this grotesque, miserable, anti-humanist worldview has become so prevalent and widespread should cause some very deep soul-searching on a society-wide level once it has been well and truly defeated.

[Helen Joyce @HJoyceGender]

It's incredible that men forcing their way past women's boundaries are being celebrated as this generation's human rights heroes
