Wrong side of history

Ah Lyra, you little scamp.

That's another thing PricklyBall.

If someone is accused of misgendering can they not say they are referring to people due to their sex? Or has gender overtaken sex?

I may be generalising but trans people seem to love making everything about themselves and being faux offended

That is the tradition of women throughout history, innit? Two steps forward and men beat us back a step and tell us it was our own fault for not being nice enough to them.

Yup, odious wee arsewipe sums him up nicely. (Yes, if you're still reading Lyra, m'dear, that was a deliberate piece of "correct gendering" on my part).

Thank you PricklyBall.

Ada looks like a wee odious arsepiece doesn't he.

Eamonn I'm guessing you thought Magdalen was Scottish because you might have heard she's at Edinburgh University. She got chucked out of the Lesbian society by Ada Wells for being "transphobic". (Ada Wells is a charmer, but that would be a whole long essay - eventually got suspended from the Students' Union for being anti-semitic, I think).

You know what I've been thinking... all of us who are on Twitter should be giving L Madigan some love & appreciation.

Yes I know, but look at it this way. If LM hadn't done such a good job of peak transing women, would 795 of us have raised £13,640 in 3 days?

Cheers Madigan!

@Icantreachthepretzels - fellow fanfic writer here! On a one-woman quest to write stuff with interesting women doing interesting things (including lots of interesting older women, something my readers quite often compliment me on!) And to show that vanilla het can be interesting, so long as it's cordon-bleu, Michelin starred vanilla.

Anyway, here follows a lengthy digression which will only be of interest to Pretzels, so everyone else can ignore it!

"As an avid fanfiction writer I must protest! It is a healthy and creative way to...mumble mumble..something something - OK I'm a loser.
I bet my fanfic has a lot less slashwrittenforhet'stittilation/genderbending/kink/Dom/Sub/ageplay/porn without plot in it that Mx Potter's does though.

some very very disturbing things out there in the world of fanfic. I've never considered before that it was being written by burly AGPs. I always assumed it was the disturbing psyches of teenage girls with horrific internalised misogyny. That's given me food for thought ..."

Now that's an interesting thought. I know some out-n-proud male fanfic writers (in fact, quite good online friends with at least one) but they just write interesting witty stuff. But now you come to mention it, some of the stuff I'd put down (in a rather despairing mood) to young women having their sexuality entirely shaped by their boyfriends' porn habits could well in fact be being written by seedy men in mackintoshes (possibly pink mackintoshes).

Thank you very much.

Is there a reason I though she was Scottish

Oh Lyra why are you wasting your time with these horrible nasty TERFS? I bet most of them have saggy tits and don't even believe that sex work is a job like any other.

Why aren't you off campaigning for Travis's right to leap into a taxi if anybody laughs at him because he's gone out dressed as a sexualised toddler (again)?

You need to act swiftly and focus your energy, that campaign closes in a few days and hasn't yet met its target. It's very important to be on the right side of history!!!

I am so incredibly heartened by the gofundme

I think there is a sound legal challenge to this (and many other contexts where self-ID has been adopted without legal backing) but even if we lose, my money is not wasted. The campaign is shining a big spotlight on what's happening and every day more and more women are going 'hang the fuck on ' and nobody seems to go the other way. Once you have admitted to yourself that the emperor wears no clothes it's impossible to imagine him dressed again.

He absolutely does nail it.

Chappelle nails it. Why are we being forced to partake in someone else's delusion? If my mate called to my door in the morning for his lift to work and he told me he was a black Lesbian I would ring flat 10 at the Mater hospital to find out how we section him. Yet I'm supposed to buy this nonsense?

It's actually one of the main things for me. Am I supposed to forget my 16 years of learning and all that comes with it and believe a man can become a woman?

That's just lunacy.

this is a good one from Dave Chappelle

Thank you troops I will have a look later

If my mates knew I got excited about being retweeted by a Feminist I would never live it down lol.

I was retweeted by Magdalen Berns

Nice one! Yes. Her videos are great.

I was at a feminist event in Conway Hall a few years ago where Magdalen was a speaker. She had the whole room chanting "THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A LESBIAN WITH A PENIS!!!!"

Yes Magdalen Berns videos are fab. Esp the 'lesbians dont have penises' one.

Lyra’s posts gave me more of a laugh than when Liam Madigan said he could get pregnant and a middle aged woman agreed with him.
Lyra is a sanctimonius, lying prick.

I was retweeted by Magdalen Berns

Have never watched any of her videos are they worth a watch?

God I love this thread, you lot give me hope.
