When you tell a woman she must pretend a man is a woman, you’re asserting the right to control her speech and perception of reality, while also trivialising and devaluing her female-specific experience. You’re asking her to agree that ‘woman’ is a concept men can embody at will.
When did you last meet someone who was trafficked into accountancy? In your experience, do an unusually high number of addicts and abuse survivors tend to become plumbers? Does the average quantity surveyor face a significantly elevated risk of early death because of his job?
I don’t look down on sex workers, I look down on the trade in vulnerable people’s bodies, and on the immense arrogance and wilful blindness of privileged people who think that by reframing the sale of human bodies as ‘a job like any other’, inconvenient and ugly facts about that trade simply disappear.
Yes, funny how you never hear, ‘we’re so delighted - Tatiana got straight As, so now she’s trying to choose between law, medicine and prostitution! It’s her decision, of course, so we’re trying not to influence her, but Nigel and I both think she’d make a MARVELLOUS sex worker.’
‘Mediocre sportsman’s desire to cheat should take precedence over the rights of sportswomen, because he gets sad when he’s not pandered to’ part 2753961.
Spot on. Such people double down because doubting themselves means admitting the possibility that they've been cheering on the surgical maiming and chemical sterilisation of minors, all in service of a trendy, unfalsifiable, quasi-religious ideology.
@OMGFacts Official documents do not exist to affirm or validate anyone's identity. No one owes you affirmation or validation. Schafer is male and always will be.
I've just answered that, above. I'll repeat it:
If an adult feels they can only exist comfortably and authentically in this world by dressing in the opposite sex's clothes, having surgeries and taking hormones, or in adopting one of the many gender labels, I wish them safety, happiness and health, as long as they're not harming anyone else. You, however, seem to think that for a trans-identified man to be 'comfortable' and 'authentic', everyone in the vicinity must abandon their freedom of speech and belief to accommodate his 'identity'.
Women are not validation props, comfort blankets or support animals. We aren't a rest home for men who don't like being men. If a person's happiness and self-esteem resides entirely in whether or not they can compel everyone around them to lie, whether out of fear or pity, I would respectfully suggest they are unlikely to have a very comfortable life, and are about as far from being 'authentic' as it is possible to be.
Two new Canadian reviews of the evidence for puberty blockers and cross sex hormones have been published.
Exactly like Cass, they found 'very low confirmatory evidence of any substantive change in gender dysphoria, depression or overall health.'

You think you've heard the last word in callous, self-serving, reality-defying luxury beliefs, but then a female legislator responds to a question about a male sexual assault by saying how proud she is of the measures taken to make sure the sex offender's feelings aren't hurt.
A man took pics of a 10yo girl in a gender neutral changing room.
Given the ubiquity of these change rooms, the police think the solution is for parents to be more vigilant.
Or...hear me out...we stop pretending like gender neutral rooms were ever a good idea to begin with.
@CTVNews This male is not being "mistreated" because people rightfully pointed out that he shouldn't be playing women's sports. Good for the people who rightfully stood up for the female players.
'Where's the evidence trans-identified men ever harm women?'
'No sexual predator would EVER dress as a woman to get access to victims.'
'Only bigots claim cross-dressing can be a fetish.'
May 2025 be the year we get men out of female prisons, sports and single-sex spaces 🙏
Who could possibly have foreseen this?*
*Women who attended mixed sex schools. For years, we've warned unisex facilities made voyeurism and harassment laughably easy, and argued that girls deserved privacy and dignity. In return, we were called pearl-clutchers, bigots and Nazis.
The evidence on it ‘saving lives’ is incredibly weak, although those on the butchery-and-blockers gravy train naturally tell a different story. They’re similarly silent on the clear and well-documented evidence of harmful health outcomes and mounting numbers of detransitioners.
There are places I’m not allowed to go, eg, inside other people’s houses when they’re not home, operating theatres because I fancy watching an appendectomy, inside the penguin enclosure at the zoo because I want to cuddle a penguin. This does not mean I don’t have freedom of movement.
I do indeed oppose self-ID, because it represents a massive safeguarding risk and removes sex-based rights.
You think ‘rhetoric’ kills trans people, but if you do a small amount of research you’ll find it’s violent men who do that. If feminist rhetoric could prevent male violence, we’d probably have managed to stop them raping, beating and murdering women and girls by now.
