Gender Critical Greatest Hits

Haven't RTFT but Edward Lord, who is currently overseeing the City of London gender survey, who claims he is "gender-neutral" and "trans women are women" and has created a leading survey which aims to erode single-sex spaces such as Hampstead Ponds' ladies' pond being a member of Freemasons, a group which excludes women.

When a petition was created on 38 degrees last summer, asking the government to consult with women about self ID. Worded in a very neutral and careful way. The petition gained nearly 1000 signatures before the anti-women woke bros who run 38 degrees removed it for being transphobic.

The mass tantrum about Jennifer James crowdfunded which the trans crybabies got removed temporarily.

The recent article about trans women having periods, just without the blood

The point for me with the huntley story was, it didnt really matter whether he is trans or not. No one really knows how true that claim is. The issue was the extent to which some people defended his right to be placed in a womans prison and not to be dead named.

Yes exactly. The Ian Huntley thing is all a bit 'urban legend', no one really has any idea what is going on about it.

The point is that here is a man who is a very obvious danger to women and children. But for some people the most important thing is that his right to 'identify' as he sees fit is paramount, and if that means placing him in prison with women and all the risks that that would entail, well that's just collateral. As long as we don't deadname.

That is how fucking twisted the whole thing has become.

How can it be a 'moral failure' to refuse to collude in the lie used by a child murdering rapist in order that he can game the system and have access to women.

These people really are breathtaking.

I can understand it if that is your own personal agenda. You personally want the access. Criminals lie all the time.

But to make other people collude in it to aid those criminals?

This thread is not doing my blood pressure any good at all.

Munroe Bergdorf being chosen as the keynote speaker at the BFI Woman with a Movie Camera event rather than one one of the many hugely talented female film makers in the UK.

It was so inspiring to read that women could overcome discrimination by being a man.

I know it's not funny. But that did make me snort.

How the fuck did we get here. The insanity is almost difficult to take sometimes.

It was so inspiring to read that women could overcome discrimination by being a man. Well done to the British Army for such forward thinking.

I see the article includes the trans 'bingo' word 'brave' several times.

Lib Dem policy committee member saying dead naming Ian Huntley is a moral failing.

Venice Alllen's suspension interrogation by labour - there's a transcript somewhere, but she was asked in all seriousness something like 'does feminism exist in the animal kingdom'

You see this so much. Smug, arrogant, clueless men trying to get a gotcha moment with women.

This issue is about as real as it can get for women. Feminism is an issue that makes the difference between life and death or women. And yet you get these men having a fine ole time of it posing idiotic questions like that, as if to prove something.

So ducks don't have feminism, a ha!

It proves nothing other that they get all excited over a spot of intellectual masturbation at women's expense.

Found the video!

Thanks Stormy. Look at all the other pathetic people on the show handwaving away the explicit violent threat Tur makes because trans!
