It is the work of so many amazing Australian women to finally get “men are not women” on the front page of the newspaper, and absolutely unforgivable that it’s a fight we’ve had to have in the first place. But we’re not giving up until we have our rights back.
Every single person who still cringes at the memory of trying to bullshit their way through an interview or exam question: today, the slate is wiped clean. Set down your burden of shame. Nothing - nothing, I say - could touch this.
Let’s explain to the trans in the front: Women are not body costumes, stereotypes, performances, or objects to used as a way to satiate a psychosexual fetish. They are real biological human beings with the biological function to gestate, birth, and nurse children. A man pretending to be a woman can never do that. Trans is the ultimate reduction and dehumanization of women.
@Stephenmevans1 I don't follow any religion, nor subscribe to any political party. My view is uncluttered by the associated social/cultural pressures. Baby boys are born complete. Why mutilate perfection? An adult male should, of course, be free to decide to be cut, including medical necessity.
"An Open Letter to the Surgeon Who Removed My Breasts.
I have lived every day for the last seven years with the physical and psychological wreckage you left behind. When I was fourteen years old, you took a scalpel to my healthy body and amputated my breasts.
I didn’t have the capacity to understand the permanence of what you were doing to me."
A heart rending read by Claire @burnyourbinder We are immensely grateful she chose to courageously share her vulnerability with us.

It is unfortunate that these protesters have chosen disruption over genuine intellectual engagement grounded in academic charity and rigour. In attempting to shame students into deplatforming these lectures, they manifest the antithesis of what a university stands for.
@DogDougDog Yep, in Britain it is.
I’ve just walked to post box, we have alternating heavy rain and bright sunshine this morning - two strangers have commented to me on the weather .. you don’t know what to wear in this weather do you? and Ohh, that sky looks grey over the woods again.
. @SamanthaNiblet4 I gather you blocked @ForWomenScot for asking a few questions. So I will ask: is this a lesbian? Should he be allowed to undress with women & girls? Would you share an intimate space w him?
Defend yourself! Or are you going to block everyone who asks qs?
99.9% of people do not wish to attempt to reject their biological sex. They still need to be protected in legislation. It is a fools errand to demand that 99.9% of people give up their legal protections for the .1% (“tiny”, she says it herself).
If you want legal protections for the “tiny, marginalized, disadvantaged community” that rejects biological reality, find a way to do it that doesn’t take away legal protections for the 99.9% of people who do need protections on the basis of sex.
The SEX discrimination commissioner is paid $400,000 per year to deal with this issue. But there you go, I solved the problem for you, for free.
Whoa! You have it completely backwards. It is trans women who see women as body parts. They see women as objects, stereotypes, costumes, and looks. Women are superficial bodies that they can wear. They do not see women as real human beings.
Men and women are equally smart and capable. But there is one thing that differentiates them—reproductive function. Women produce eggs, gestate, give birth, and feed babies. Men provide sperm.
Transwomen can never have any of what makes women actually women. They ignore women’s biology and reduce them to pretend people.
The reality is that trans is the ultimate form of misogynistic narcissism. It degrades and dehumanizes women—all to satiate a compulsive male psychological fetish.
@StephenMorganMP You’re literally proposing legislation to criminalise talking therapy.
That therapy is crucial for the 80-90% same sex attracted cohort that appear at gender clinics.
You are, ironically, proposing a conversion therapy measure by which homosexual teens impersonate straights
Well this is quite something 🤯
An actual MP telling me, a male homosexual, I’m “attacking” an oppressed group for not believing that men can be lesbians and women can be gay men
Samantha, there is nothing ‘strange’ about simply acknowledging what homosexuality is and isn’t. In fact it is imperative we do so to protect our rights
Para 204 of the Supreme Court ruling makes it very clear that the protected characteristic of sexual orientation is based on sex
Para 206 makes it very clear that this PC, and thus homosexuality, is rendered meaningless when not recognised as being based on sex
If you recognise that gays and lesbians and bisexuals are an oppressed group who still face adversity, how can we stand up for ourselves if simply acknowledging what homosexuality is gets us framed as “attackers”?
How can we even begin to tackle the modern version of adversity that seeks to reframe homosexuality to include those of the opposite sex? That has seen lesbians having to go to court in the UK and Australia simply to maintain the legal recognition of homosexuality (or in the case of Australia find a way to claw it back)? That has seen a lesbian brought to tears at a tribunal when asked why males can’t be lesbians?
How on earth can you take issue with me saying that men can’t be lesbians???
And how can you claim to be aware of the historic fight for gay rights while not having any awareness (or lacking the courage to acknowledge it) of how for at least the last decade these have been under threat from ‘gender’?
Don’t pretend to know our struggle if you can’t even say what a homosexual is
I mean… seriously!
