@Ozzy8491 @FifiFuf54200955 @consens_tradein I guess technically I’d be an agnostic atheist. I don’t know how certain things happened (neither does anyone else) but I’m an atheist in as much as I reject the god claim as it isn’t an explanation.

So you’d be an agnostic theist.

[The Chingchok Hunter @simplelogical]

@Ozzy8491 @FifiFuf54200955 @consens_tradein Of course I know that. And there are many promising theories (undersea thermal vents being my favourite) that have been posited.

But as with the origin of the universe, the answer (at the moment) is we don’t know.

To say a god did it is just god of the gaps. Doesn’t work.

[The Chingchok Hunter @simplelogical]

@Ozzy8491 @FifiFuf54200955 @consens_tradein It is clearly evolved. That is unquestionable now. The scientific evidence is overwhelming I’m afraid.

Science has proven, without a shred of doubt, that life is not designed but has evolved over millions of years.

No design. No designer.

[The Chingchok Hunter @simplelogical]

@Ozzy8491 @FifiFuf54200955 @consens_tradein It evidently isn’t designed. It has the illusion of design when looking surface level but look deeper and there are clear signs of gradual development (evolution).

[The Chingchok Hunter @simplelogical]

@Ozzy8491 @consens_tradein @FifiFuf54200955 You would say that Ozzy because it fits your world view.

It’s nowhere near the only viable conclusion to the origin of the universe. The only honest answer to that is that we don’t know how it originated.

As to design, that’s been debunked over and over.

[The Chingchok Hunter @simplelogical]

@Ozzy8491 @consens_tradein @FifiFuf54200955 I wholeheartedly reject this premise

@Ozzy8491 @jonsac 🙄 Get with the program mate -none of them are real. Just stories

@5Pillarsuk What a sad reflection on the Islamists intent on doing harm. How they have cost the tax payer so much money. Shocking really.

Everyone should watch this

@MetroUK Of course some cultures are better than others.

You can figure this out by asking yourself if you’d send your daughter on a cultural exchange to Afghanistan?

Of course you wouldn’t. Because of their appalling anti women culture.

[The Chingchok Hunter @simplelogical]

@MidnightMonza @MetroUK Do you (incorrectly) believe this as you can’t possibly imagine him having views different to your own?

[The Chingchok Hunter @simplelogical]

@DrLwyd He could have had better answers to the ‘harm’ questions. Yes, the truth is important but there are also very real harms with this ideology.

[The Chingchok Hunter @simplelogical]

@MarkRuffalo You’re wilfully ignorant and massively misinformed.

You are a fool.

I’ve just seen a post from yet another man who thinks my position has shifted since I wrote my 2020 essay about gender identity ideology and the consequent clash of rights https://t.co/pasxBD1Hzl

For the avoidance of doubt, I stand by every word I wrote then. For instance: ‘woman isn’t a costume.’ If it surprises you that I say men don’t become women by wearing make up and dresses, you didn’t understand the essay. I’ve been crystal clear all along that I believe people are free to live and present themselves as the opposite sex if that’s what feels comfortable and authentic TO THEM. This appears to have been interpreted (most often, tellingly, by men) as ‘and it naturally follows that I, as a woman, will validate a man’s belief that he is now, to all intents and purposes, the same sex as me, and I will use only the speech he deems appropriate and will be very careful to protect his sensitive ego, no matter the cost to myself in pretending to believe a falsehood, or the loss of my own rights due to this pretence.’

Dress as you like within normal bounds of situational decency, wear lipstick, sequins and a beard if you want, call yourself whatever you like, have sex with any consenting adult you please: I wish you health, happiness and safety. What you don’t get is the power to compel my speech and belief.

When I call a man a man, I am speaking verifiable truth. It is essential to be able to accurately name sex when discussing fair sport, facilities and services for women and girls and the right of gay people not to be demonised for their same-sex attraction. In years to come, a lot of useful idiots are going to awake to the fact that they’ve been complicit in enormous harm done to women, girls, gay people who stood against the insanity, and some extremely vulnerable young people. I don’t doubt we’ll hear a lot of, ‘I thought I was just being kind.’ Such individuals, especially those in positions of power, should be asked why they never had anything to say about the loud, public, widespread unkindness directed against those who refused to adopt their fashionable, elitist beliefs, eg, the detransitioners being bullied and vilified by former ‘allies’, the whistleblowers who tried to stop an unregulated experiment on troubled children, the women who lost their careers and livelihoods by standing up for all women’s rights.

Some people appear to believe it a worse crime for a woman to call a man a man than for trans activists to call loudly and publicly for the assault and assassination of all women who refuse to bend the knee. I have never wished violence or any other kind of harm on a trans-identified person, but, like many other people who’ve defended women’s and girls’ rights over the past few years, I have received thousands of threats of death, rape and torture. The wilful blindness of those who bleat ‘both sides’ will rightly be judged harshly in times to come.

TL;DR Trans women aren’t women, and if that hurts your feelings, be grateful you live in a society where you are just as free to espouse gender ideology as I am to speak the truth. As Orwell said: ‘Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.’

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Caution didn't win women the vote, or equal pay, or fair sport, or the right to single-sex spaces. Sophie Cunningham is standing up for women and girls everywhere and it's glorious. Fuck caution.

[The Chingchok Hunter @simplelogical]

@CWilliamson44 This is your take???

Wow

[The Chingchok Hunter @simplelogical]

@ObhishekSaha I think this is happening more in your head and from your biases than in reality.

I’ve seen nothing but condemnation of the speech of course, but also a frustration and disappointment at the arrest. Same as with Lucy Connolly.

@cliftonaduncan 100%. Blew my mind

@HKane @Jebadoo2 Thank you
