Gender Critical Greatest Hits

185 replies

FloriDada · 27/07/2018 11:06

I am trying to compile a list of the key highlights of the gender debate, a ‘greatest hits’ if you will Grin of the most succinct and shocking things that have happened over the past few years. The sort of thing that would ‘peak’ people.

It’s for a (creative) project that I can’t say anything about just now.

If you could contribute anything I would be very grateful. The kind of things I have so far are:

Bomb threat against WPUK

Danielle Muscato taking a place in a woman’s shelter and tweeting “some women have penises. If you’re bothered by this you can suck my dick”

Shon Faye “enjoy your erasure”

Lily Madigan comparing race for life with apartheid. Looking for a more up to date Lily abomination but there are so many, any suggestions?

Kimberley Nixon suing Vancouver rape relief

What would you add to the greatest hits?

Mermaids' attack on WPUK's Facebook?

Magdalene Berns delightful juxtaposition of a woman who fought for the right to wear flat shoes at a company she had been sacked by compared and a non binary person's request that they alone be permitted to wear the male uniform, which they then didn't even wear.

What about the Scottish councillor who is a "Children's Convenor' while calling women 'cunts' and 'transphobic bitches' on twitter and has signed off on a policy document about period poverty that fails to mention the words girls, women or female but mentions transgender men and NB. They're a bit of a role model for the movement surely? Grin

Is there any evidence for Stefonknee being a consultant/advisor to the Canadian government?

Yes a link to that would be good to have on the thread

All the examples of trans women participating at competitive levels in women's sport - I know there are loads but it's not my area. I think the latest controversy was at a High School track event in New Jersey and it was highlighted that sport in America can lead to scholarships for young men/women to gain access to university.

Is there a global sanpro charity that now talks about menstruating people rather than girls/women??

And were there reports or trans women requesting smear tests? I may may have made that one up!!

Nooooo it was definitely the recent news report of a woman prisoner being accused of sexually abusing other women prisoners in a womens jail.

The quote about her inappropriately touching another prisoner whilst having a visible erection was pure double-take gold.

The attempt to close down the working class library in Salford because they invited Julie Bindel to speak.

That photo of the labour LGBT group.

There will be some who will look at that photo and claim that there isn't a problem.

That's why this is a problem for women and girls.

Sorry, "Zoey" (eyeroll)

Ereshkigal · 27/07/2018 17:57

I've forgotten the name, but the transgender former Marine (I think) who told Ben Shapiro that if Ben didn't respect pronouns he'd be going home in the back of an ambulance. It's on YouTube.

Zoe Tur?

Was there a meeting at the HOC to discuss trans children in the Girl Guides where all the people invited were trans or did I dream that?

Ereshkigal · 27/07/2018 17:53

Ta, Rowan!
