A system based on Sharia cannot grant women equal rights. It’s not consistent with British laws, which mandate equality for men and women.
It’s time for the British authorities to stop being complacent about religious misogyny.

@jk_rowling@nats_tired@miroirdufou More "male supremacist" than "men's rights activist"
What's being advocated is for men's demands 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒈𝒆𝒔 to be met, for which the cost of so doing is the overruling & erasure of women's rights in law & policy.
Hence, male supremacy.
Pro tip: when arguing, try not to put words into your opponent's mouth that the opponent has never spoken. Try especially hard not to do this when you're arguing in a public forum where everyone can see exactly what has, and hasn't, been said.
You're angered that I use accurate language to describe the sexes, because the whole edifice of your ideology collapses if you acknowledge that sex is binary, that it is impossible to change sex, that sex has material, important consequences and that legal rights should be based on observable facts rather than unfalsifiable concepts.
You're working backwards from your preferred conclusion and you're prepared to advance nonsensical arguments to do it. Your attempts to change the meaning of the words 'man' and 'woman', to shift them into philosophical concepts, do not change material reality. I'm with Friedrich Engels: "These gentlemen think that when they have changed the names of things they have changed the things themselves. This is how these profound thinkers mock at the whole world."
People with differences of sexual development are male and female. The various conditions that fall beneath the intersex umbrella are sex-specific. Klinefelter syndrome only affects men. MRKH syndrome only affects women. There is no third sex. Sex is not a spectrum, and the reason so many people with DSDs dislike the old-fashioned term ‘intersex’ is precisely because ignorant people like you use it to suggest they are hermaphrodites.
And lest we forget: the argument ‘some people are born with anbiguous genitalia, so men should be allowed in women’s changing rooms’ is one of the stupidest ever made.
The ABC has refused to publish an opinion article by @salltweets, despite a senior editor describing the piece as “very, very good”, in what has been condemned by Grover as “confirmation of ideological capture” at the national broadcaster. https://t.co/vSFOKt9krC
This is an astonishing peek behind the curtain of the ABC’s editorial process. Stephens seems torn between wanting to publish a gender critical piece and fearing the internal backlash if he does. The ABC cannot go on like this: the clock is ticking and Hanson circling..
@miroirdufou@jk_rowling men can never 'live as women', since there is no one way to live as a woman, except to be a woman (female adult human), and live.
One of those things that never happens if you open up women's changing rooms to any man who wants to come inside has happened. Again.

@miroirdufou A woman is an adult human female. A female is a member of the sex whose bodies are organised to produce large gametes (eggs). Women's rights are predicated upon that accurate definition. Any false definition that includes men, including men in dresses, eliminates women's rights.
As an expert in women's health with degrees in biology & medicine who treat women as my actual job, I will inform you that being a woman is a combination of chromosomes, external & internal sex characteristics & the CAPACITY but not the NECESSITY to menstruate, gestate & lactate. Women born without a uterus are a biological anomaly, not a variation of normal biology. Women who had a hysterectomy are still women. Women who have menstrual abnormalities, including absence of periods, infertility, & problems breastfeeding are still women. Saying a man who thinks he's a woman & is deluding himself that he's having "period pains" is the same as those biological women is patently false.
A 'trans-identifying' dad with giant balloon tits talks about the relationship he has with his teenage daughter:
"She and I are so similar, we have such a unique and personal relationship"..
Nothing about this is normal..this is transgenderism..

"Cisgender is a made-up word. That means nothing. Do not call me cisgender. I am a woman.
During the Paris Olympics we watched a DUDE beat the hell out of a woman, and we have people who actually believe that is okay."

@burnyourbinder@BenMclaine Hey Ben, you haven't replied to this detransitioned woman who has lived experience of the subject. I guess it must be an oversight. What's your reply?
