“When it’s said that women must be subject to men, the phrase should be understood in the same sense as when we say that we are subject to natural disasters”

Powerful words from Laurence Housman (A.E. & Clemence Housman’s brother). Also interesting to read his comments on over-sexualization of society & overpopulation. If things were bad already in 1912 w/o widespread p0rn & w/ a world population <2 billion, they are so much worse now

So isn’t this film, a form of conversion therapy aimed at tomboy girls in primary schools?

I knew being Palestinian Reem Alsalem could hardly be expected to be impartial on the Israel-Palestine conflict, but to use the phrase “Jews’ Lebensraum” is inexcusable. But yes, I agree Arabs should go back to their homeland, in Arabia.

@UNSRVAW Well. The explanation:

From her Master's thesis, from the American University of Cairo, 2000:

"If the right of return is implemented and the Palestinians return to their homes, hardly any infringement on the Jews' Lebensraum [‼️] would occur."

@AjaTheEmpress I think men are much more likely to be attracted to “gender” than women, which is why a huge number of men who will not consider sex with ordinary men willingly have sex with ladyboys knowing they’re male.

@SueEvansProtect and I were contacted by one member of the Cass Review team many years ago, but we have never been invited to speak with those involved in these programmes.

They appear to consult widely across a range of constituencies. Given our experience in this field, it is perhaps surprising that we have never been asked to contribute.

Then again, perhaps not.

@AlessandraAster Actually reading the review won’t help blue ticks get clicks though.

Me: Dr Cass is using 'trans females' for males who are transgender.
GC crowd: she had to use neutral language.
Me: trans female for a male is not neutral.
GC crowd: she has to 'expand her audience'.

Well, she just lost me. Any scientist who calls a male a female is a quack.

[Clare Page : No Secret Lessons @NoSecretLessons]

To all those truly foolish people - especially GC feminists and compliant Tories, who welcomed the Cass Review as ‘a step in the right direction’, this clip shows why you were profoundly unwise.

She may have reduced the number of children swept into the gender medicine machine, but she nevertheless justified that machine to continue for a core minority - all based on quackery, sexology and ideology. Horrifying.

Those kids will now be Guinea pigs for potentially appallingly damaging state medical experiments upon their perfectly healthy bodies, which is being justified by the very pseudo science *YOU* helped to gain credibility.

If it weren't for Brexit, For Women Scotland Ltd v Scottish Ministers would likely have ended up in the court of justice of the EU in Luxembourg. And we all know what that means.

@21oconnor The phone of someone behind me went off several times during Serse, and there was a woman filming the overture in the front row… Really hope the king of kings has sought them out and sunk them in the Hellespont along with the pair of shackles.

@ClaudiaBocchini @AntigoneJournal My feelings, as a woman, about the two Homeric epics are the exact opposite of yours. I seem to have immediately grasped the concept of kleos when I read The Iliad for the first time at about 10.

[Jean Hatchet @JeanHatchet]

Rupert Lowe is revealing here that he knows very little about domestic abuse and the Family Court, or the price that women pay there when trying to escape from violent men.

Rupert is showing you he stands with those men.

It is all very well "standing up for women and girls" when you want to address grooming gangs - but also being unwilling to see that women and children are frequently let down by the court system when they need its protection from the very worst of men.

Your "decent and honest father" is some woman's living nightmare. They always look good to other men. The phrase "behind closed doors" is used for a reason.

Please take instruction from women if you want to discuss the violence committed against us.

“Sex conversion” was bound up in women’s sexual objectification for male patients, as documented in the 1970s.

A point I note from the research in 1971, a piece also noted in Janice G. Raymond’s 1979 book, is the appearance of prostitution with male patients’ desires to become women. The literature idealized “vaginoplasty” followed by marriage to a man and its sexual consummation as “the most complete affirmation of femininity.” Prostitution was the male patients’ idealized alternative for “no greater confirmation of femininity” than “normal heterosexual men” paying them for “sex services” as “women.”

One could write off the obvious misogyny in these responses as male patients providing what male professionals wanted to hear to secure the operation.

Marriage seems believable for a canned response to questions, but why did the men also talk about finding “confirmation of femininity” in prostitution?

This sexualized view of womanhood has remained fairly consistent from decades ago into the recent OnlyFans era, where men transition into pornography.

“Marriage is the foremost ambition of a converted transsexual. This is easily understood when one realizes that it is the most complete affirmation of femininity. Prostitution sometimes becomes a tempting substitute for marriage. There is no greater confirmation of femininity than that of having normal heterosexual men again and again accept her [sic] as a woman and even pay her [sic] for sex services.”

Still grinning from ear to ear after last night’s Serse. Such a pity that it was a one-off event, I could see it more times than Caroline of Ansbach went to Orlando! Despite being a concert performance, the singers, especially the 5 fabulous women, were very much in character.
