My pronouns are I and me, the only ones I use about myself. I'm content for you to address me directly as 'you'. What you call me in my absence is your concern.

Hitler believed in the superiority of the Aryan race. I don't.
Hitler also believed in the economic benefits of a modern motorway system. So do I.
If the latter makes you think I'm a Nazi, you're a fool to be mocked then ignored.

@lozbian40 @mrstomlinstan @JeanHatchet Then don't give him any yourself. But those who give can give as they wish, and he can use it as he wishes.

The primary victims of transactivist bullshit are women. But they are not the only victims, and Graham doesn't need anyone's permission to act given what he has suffered.

@AndieforIndie @goodyvickers @resistrinker @mar2vickers @helenstaniland @CvNerve "Mindless bigot".

From you?

Report away you odd little perv. And stay out of those bathrooms.

@brett0769 @fightwithmemes Indeed.

And if students started loudly walking out of a biology class, or an archeology class, or history class, because they didn't want to hear reality that conflicted with their 'beliefs' - and tried to cut the sound system as they left - they would be rightly castigated.

[Mar Vickers #32742 @mar_vickers]

@MarsJaneM @IanGee2023 @helenstaniland Yep, it does.

[Mar Vickers #32742 @mar_vickers]

@MarsJaneM @IanGee2023 @helenstaniland Your passport lies. Big whoop.

Really, Stella?

So the "work on sport, biology and prison reform" has to wait because some women happen to like that Trump has acted on those things?

Sounds suspiciously like pure spitefulness from you there.

[stellacreasy @stellacreasy]

FWIW agree work to do on sport and biology, prison reform - and why we demonise those who are different to ourselves to our shared detriment.

But there’s little point talking if you see this moment of fundamental peril to all women’s freedoms and choose to indulge Trump.

@Jebadoo2 Surely that is the exact point everyone in that room should have gone "this one can have no input on this bill, he's quite mad"

@NickBailey596 @Hard_garbage @SwipeWright @NotMaryAnnObv "Sex is generally defined by which gamete an organism produces"

That's not QUITE right though, is it - after all, organisms that have developed the phenotype associated with a gamete have developed a sex even if they don't personally produce the gamete associated with that sex.

[Mar Vickers #32742 @mar_vickers]

@Hard_garbage @SwipeWright @NotMaryAnnObv > is a classification of development having taken place, not predicted to take place. It's a bit pedantic, but, strictly the undifferentiated embryo does not yet have a sex, because it has not yet developed, although it may be destined to have a specific sex.

[Mar Vickers #32742 @mar_vickers]

@Hard_garbage @SwipeWright @NotMaryAnnObv It's pretty straightforward.

Potential sex is not sex, it's potential.
Theoretically (though not yet in practice), you could have an SRY gene artificially fully disabled pharmaceutically, causing an 46 XY embryo not to develop as male.

Every zygote has a potential sex, but sex>

@CassieDebus @runthinkwrite @Ashworth101 It is worth noting the standard dope testing procedure that every elite athlete must sign up to is significantly MORE invasive, with an actual person watching the point of the urine leave your body (you can thank cheats with urine bags and fake willys for that one)

[Mar Vickers #32742 @mar_vickers]

@CassieDebus @runthinkwrite @Ashworth101 ...and need never consider it again, perhaps with a single testosterone check.

for those who come a cropper at this point, there are still a variety of tests that do not require humiliating examination, but can be done fully or mostly clothed using standard scanning equipment.

@JAM859098 @DearS_o_n So men aren't interested in dating women, and women aren't interested in dating men...

So, what's the problem, exactly?

Get out your VPN's and watch this brilliance. #rtesport

If you didn’t catch it earlier, RTÉ’s end-of-Games montage was absolute magic.

[Mar Vickers #32742 @mar_vickers]

Fabulous.

You are so annoyed about 'bigotry' you put your whole arm in blackface?

That'll show 'em.

Clown show.

@HelloImAlia You think you gonna punch me, you cowardly wee shit? Come on and try.

[Mar Vickers #32742 @mar_vickers]

@SophyRidgeSky A bit, but more that, for the first time really ever, in a GE the Tories lost the 'unity bonus' they've enjoyed on the right, the huge Lib Dem surge a notable consequence of same. Allowed Labour to profit from mid 30s vote thecway tories could in past.

@WingsScotland If we had to suffer Slippers surviving to be rid of Nicolson and Smith, that's a price worth paying.
