Lol this was in Private Eye so I'm now giving it its widest readership. Remember, folks, Ian Hislop gets £400,000 a year from the BBC for ignoring uncomfortable issues. I guess Private Eye staff just do it for free
The UKs high court has decided that children are old enough to decide to medically mutilate their sex organs and potential health at 11 years old.
Even though they are too young to legally have sex because they don’t understand the consequences.
What a time to be alive.
This is probably one of the most beautiful tributes ever made.
Billy Preston, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton and Dhani Harrison performing "My Sweet Lord" at the George Harrison tribute concert in 2002.
Like searchlights in the Blitz the installation of these barriers at Trafalgar Square is evidence we are at war. They will only be removed once the war is over.
@sappholives83 Men should not be providing this sort of care for women ever. What else is he going to do to her in that vulnerable state. Im sicked to the core by the whole thing.
@AllisonMorris1@HannahMatha@Glinner I'm not far anything. If I don't want men in women's spaces why does that make me, or anyone, 'the dregs'?
Example: man larps as a woman and provides initimate care for a disabled woman, that is not consent.
Are you up to speed on this issue? It doesn't sound like it. Keep up.
@SexMattersOrg@HJoyceGender@TalkTV I think it's an absolute failure of The Public at large to speak out about the impact of the trans cult generally.
Most people I know don't care, don't know, pretend not to know, or think I'm overreacting. It's nuts!
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.’
