@stueymaco Damn, if only Willyboobies actually paid attention in biology. He would’ve learnt that males and females have oestrogen and testosterone flowing, but at different levels. Both hormones are essential for health! Too bad Willyboobies you’re still making testosterone. Still a man 😱

To men who identify as women:

Just because a woman doesn’t object to your presence in a female-only space, that doesn’t mean she’s comfortable with it, or that she doesn’t know you’re a man. I know a lot of you think you pass because no one says anything, but you don’t. Women are just too polite - or too afraid - to call you out and tell you to leave.

And who can blame us? Women have been brutally assaulted on multiple occasions for trying to stand up to a male trespasser, and are regularly threatened with rape and death by trans people online. Moreover, there’s a solid chance that even if we do say something, we’ll get zero support from the management of whatever establishment we’re in, because they’re all afraid of getting mobs of angry protesters outside their business if they side with common decency.

These spaces are ours. They exist for our safety, and to protect us from sexual exploitation by giving us privacy while we conduct intimate bodily functions. Your presence in them negates their usefulness, and strips us of the protections they once offered, putting women and girls at risk of assault and violation.

Whether we say it or not, whether we comment or not, we all know that you’re a man, and we do not want you in women’s spaces, no matter what lip service some of us may feel forced to pay.

If you were really women on the inside - or even saw women as human beings - then the last thing you’d do would be to bring your male body into female-only spaces, knowing - and you do know this - that you are making women uncomfortable and afraid. Your staggering lack of empathy and your refusal to listen to any voices that don’t tell you that you’re entitled to do exactly as you please have blinded you to the fact that you are unwelcome trespassers who destroy the sense of safety that women have in these spaces.

Your utter disregard for the needs and feelings of the actual women to whom these spaces belong is beyond comprehension: the selfishness is astounding, the entitlement stunning. Women make up 51% of the population, but you think that your 1.6% should be thought of first and foremost, and given anything it demands, no matter how much harm it does to women and girls.

Women deserve to be seen as human beings, not a costume, or a set of stereotypical behaviors and preferences.

@ShayUnleashed Are you sure those people commenting are women?

[Jennifer Thetford-Kay @JenKteach]

Parents, teachers, school leaders, librarians, and MPs this is essential reading.
The new @Transgendertrd/ @SEENPublishing report 'Through the Looking Glass' exposes how gender ideology has captured children’s publishing and library services, turning storybooks into vehicles for social and medical transition. Children are being fed this through schools and libraries without your knowledge. Time to get informed and push back.

[Graham Linehan @Glinner]

Stories like this make me think that somewhere along the line, I actually died and went to hell. How did so many of my old colleagues and friends stand for this man against their own daughters? How could they happily see my career destroyed on his behalf?

Women’s health info should be clear for everyone. Only ~2k sigs to hit 10k before it closes in 10 days. Calls for research on how “desexed” language like pregnant people affects understanding of cervical screening, maternity & breast health, Sign & share: https://t.co/kUVFQrweRl

🚨Nottingham!
Are you or your daughters planning to Victoria Centre this Sat 13th June?

Beware that a group of men in dresses are planning a mass "piss-in" in the Ladies toilets & using female changing rooms.

These are some of the men we can expect to see entering the Ladies. Please share!

In the UK, 11 trans people have been murdered since 2000.

In the same country, from 2009 - 2021, 16 women were murdered by serving or retired police officers. Not killed by officers in the line of duty — flat out murdered.

In 2022 alone, 11 British women were killed by male strangers. 12 were murdered by their own sons; 150 British women have been murdered by their own sons since 2012.

On average, a woman is murdered by a man in the UK once every 72 hours.

Where is the Day of Remembrance for the women murdered by their own sons? By their husbands, their fathers, their brothers? By serving police officers?

In the last 25 years, there have been nearly twice as many trans-identifying murderers than there have been murder victims - 20 murderers, versus 11 victims — and yet we’re told to believe that this is a genocide, while our own dead go ignored and unnamed.

These people are, per capita, the safest demographic in the UK, with a homicide rate of 0.38 per 100k (for women, it’s 0.50 per 100k, and for normal men, it’s 1.23.) but we’re supposed to believe that they’re being physically exterminated? Or is genocide another one of those words that has deliberately been stripped of its meaning, like “woman” and “female”?

Who gains when people are conditioned to roll their eyes at the word “genocide”? When “woman” has no meaning in law or policy? What is the end game here?

[Robert Jessel @robjessel16]

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.

Single sex spaces are not 'unworkable'
We've had them for decades and until 5mins ago no one thought they were controversial
Then a group of males decided that female only spaces, services and sports were 'hateful'
StonewallUK added 'T' and started training out 'Stonewall Law' adding PCs that didn't exist to the Equality Act - erasing sex and sexual orientation
Suddenly sex is 'complicated' women, girls and same sex attracted people never existed, never had sex based rights and the law as it has existed for 16yrs under the EA is 'unworkable'

[Róisín Michaux @RoisinMichaux]

Single-sex services for women are disappearing in Europe. Here's how it's being done:

There are two main ways via which single-sex spaces and services are slowly going extinct in Europe. The first one is, obviously, by allowing anyone to identify as the opposite sex. Once a male person is in a female-only space, let’s say a youth hostel dorm room for example, it is no longer a women-only dorm room. It is a mixed-sex dorm room. He may have had his nads removed, or he may even be wearing a dress covered in flowers. It is a mixed-sex dorm room once both males and females are allowed to sleep in it.

If you tried to get such a man out of the room, and return it to its status as a women-only space, you would be accused of discrimination against him on the basis of his gender identity (though depending on your legal jurisdiction, which in turn depends on the speed at which your country’s equality legislation is being transed, this may still be called discrimination on the basis of “gender” or even sex-via-gender reassignment, even if the “reassignment” involves nothing more than the flowery dress).

If a company, or service of any kind, tries to maintain a single-sex policy, they will likely have to battle it out in court as soon as a disgruntled transvestite sniffs out their heresy. And so in order to avoid being dragged to court by such men (and such women), companies and services are pre-empting legal action by just making everything mixed-sex, like the Germans are planning to do in new building regulations. Problem solved.

And while the end of women-only yoga classes might not bother you that much, there are some services that really (really really) need to remain sex-based, and they are underpinned by the same equality laws that are currently under threat.

First a little background: equal treatment laws are mandatory in EU countries. I can’t refuse to sell a man an ice cream from my ice cream van, just because he’s a man. You can’t refuse to polish a woman’s Fabergé egg because you only polish men’s Fabergé eggs.

Except, and this is crucial, sometimes you can discriminate on the basis of someone’s sex. And I bet you can guess what those circumstances are. It must be, as the TERF Islanders put it: “a proportionate means to achieve a legitimate aim”. This teeny tiny caveat, variously worded, carries the weight of women’s safety and dignity in public spaces and services in European countries. You can deny a man access to a women’s prison or rape crisis centre, and you can refuse to hire a man for a job in (for example) a residential care home if that job involves washing the intimate parts of delirious old ladies or intellectually disabled children (whose families can request female-only intimate care).

Do you know why a family of an old checked-out woman might wish for their mother’s genitals be tended to by someone female? You bet you do. Not All Men yadda yadda yadda. Save it for yer wife. Enough men are . that even gender-equal Scandinavian utopias can legally advertise for those jobs for women only. And men also have the right, for privacy reasons, to wish only to have men tend to their bits. And that’s utterly reasonable.

But by expanding equality protections to include men masquerading as women and vice-versa, the burden is on the management of such facilities to justify why they are excluding variously-identified people. The only country that has gone to court to establish in law that sex refers to biology, not identity, is the UK, but service providers eager to please noisy activists are ignoring it, leading to a bit of a crisis. Oh you’ve not read about this major policy issue in the newspaper, or seen a debate about it on the news? That’s not an accident.

Men stayed out of women’s spaces because both society and the law punished them if they did not. That norm is disappearing, and the law is disappearing — or being tortuously reinterpreted into nothingness — along with it.

[Rebecca Paul MP @Rebecca_SPaul]

Trans people have exactly the same rights as everyone else in this country. But the Liberal Democrats want them to have more rights.

They support men accessing women’s and girls spaces. And yesterday they made clear that they support changing the law to allow this.

If a single use cubicle with a lockable door renders it safe for women in a mixed sex changing room why does the same lockable single use cubicle make transwomen unsafe in men’s changing rooms?

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

@ova_get Quite a lot of women have ended up with blood on their hands after saying 'no' to men, but that's because they were trying to ward off the knife. What men do to men is an a male-only problem. It isn't women's fault, women's responsibility or women's issue to fix.
