I was just in a supermarket toilet and a mum was in there with her little girl, the daughter is in that phase of blossoming independence so wanted to go by herself but have mum just outside the door. In her adorable commentary she loudly informed everyone that she only locks the door at school. Mum waited, chatting back and smiling at us other women washing our hands, at one point the girl got nervous so mum pushed open the door a little to talk through the gap and reassure her.
It would have been totally inappropriate for a man to be in that space.
@ToBeDamnedOrNot@JackxJewell Gaslighting is an incredibly effective technique, which is why it's so common! I think many males truly enjoy controlling, dominating and frightening women. The T insanity has given a lot of males (who've previously felt powerless with women) a way to 'get even'.
@wck47@SJMc90@Channel4News@cmclymer Sex is biological. No amount of hurt, or confused, or dysphoric 'feels' makes *anybody* anything other than the sex they were born as. He may be gay, or bi, or just a man who really, really dislikes violence. That doesn't make him an *actual* woman.
@Invisime101@jk_rowling The d!¢ks in dresses don't *want* their own sports category - they want to dominate, crush (sometimes literally, as in boxing) girls and women in the women's category. It's all about giving the ßetas, incels and MRAs a way to 'dominate'. It's a movement that celebrates VAWG
@boa2112@KingBobIIV@jk_rowling Wow. Seriously?? Ok, well, a quick google of 'period huts' (a hut where girls/women are kept in isolation/seclusion for the duration of their periods because they are considered 'unclean') brought up this 2021 article:

Here is a video of the girl getting spiked in the face.
John Oliver is lying at the expense of girls everywhere.
He should be ashamed of himself.

John Oliver claims that there is no safety threat having male students compete against girls.
Payton McNabb suffered severe head injuries after being spiked in the face by a male competitor during a high school volleyball game.
She now has 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀.
Nothing about this feels good, because John Oliver generously gave his time for my charity Lumos and I liked him very much when I met him, but God knows, if you ever need an example of motivated reasoning and confirmation bias, this video's for you. An undoubtedly intelligent person spouts absolute bullshit to support something he wants to be true, but isn't.
According to the UN, female athletes have lost nearly 900 medals to trans-identified men competing against them in women’s sporting categories. Girls have been ousted from teams to make way for boys. Women have suffered serious injury playing against trans-identified men (see Payton McNabb, mentioned below).
Again and again I've come up against men who argue exactly what Oliver does here, using the very same talking points. With a straight face, the 'believe the science' guys will say 'actually, we don't yet have enough data to say whether men and boys are stronger and faster than women and girls'. The 'be kind' crew can't see what the issue is. 'Why are you bothered, it only affects a tiny minority of females?'
To prove to their progressive credentials - and (coincidentally, I'm sure) indemnify themselves against repercussions from cultural elites in the media, academia and publishing who've showed themselves more than ready to kick people to the kerb for failing to mouth the approved mantras - people with a lot to lose are currently prepared to make idiots of themselves. They'll stare unabashedly into a camera and insist that their audiences' eyeballs are incapable of seeing what's plain as day, and that there's something wrong with the great unwashed for believing that girls are being robbed of opportunities and put at physical risk.
If you want to tell the world you're happy to watch females suffer injury, humiliation and the loss of sporting opportunities to bolster an elitist post-modern ideology embraced by a minute fraction of the world's population, fair enough; you're allowed your opinion. But if you've just told girls they don't deserve fair sport, maybe rethink using all too real and common sexual predation against young women as a punchline for your 'edgy' closing joke.
We have all been forced to tolerate the indulgence of the few at the expense of the many. If you do not accept it you face social exclusion.
It is all about exerting power and control. They really don’t care about which infirmity, race, gender or cause they are using to control you.
This appears to not be working any longer and is causing confusion and frustration for those who feel entitled to rule us with social sanction. Social exclusion is their biggest fear and they cannot afford to accept that they are outside of the tent.
They will become more outrageous before it is over. It kind of has to happen.
@ThePosieParker It’s awful. We had an issue with sexual harassment of a classmate and the school presented all of their ‘supportive services’ they could provide. They heard what I thought! You don’t treat the burn victim then send them back to the fire. You stop the fucking fire.
