Thread 2 - Anti-trans vandals are plastering vile ‘women don’t have penises’ stickers around THE WORLD

That Rebecca Watson article is horrendous.
I had actually hoped that when some of the UK humanists, sceptics, Goldacre, sense about science etc type of organisations had understood what was happening with the TRA dogma they would speak up.

I naively thought they would do this because they love to see themselves as the truth-telling clever little guys (Male plural) speaking up against the looming, idiotic establishment.

What more of a classic example is that the TRA dogma has overtaken the public sector and third sector, now heading for Parliament in the form of legal gender Self-ID?

Guess the the humanists (cough) and sceptic community aren’t going to be giving a flying fuck about women’s concerns then because we’re not all, well, straight, white, senior on our careers and male enough.

They would rather be pointlessly preaching to the converted, chortling on about how stupid anyone is who believes in homeopathy or astrology, while exhorting for freedom of speech and in academic publications, and backslapping about their clever science qualifications.

For the record, I want a more ‘rational’ less superstitious society too but not at the expense of belittling or excluding or ignoring women who have totally legitimate cast iron, fucking unbelievably 100% EVIDENCE BASED concerns about what the TRA agenda is doing RIGHT NOW to kids and women here in the UK. Not to fucking mention freedom of speech, association, sexuality, a child's right to an open future etc etc etc. The list goes on.

Please pass me some of that MN gin

Just bumping the other thread about pushing the #stickerwoman work for the next 7 weeks (titles something about santa). Obviously I won't be joining in with such tomfoolery because flyposting is very very wrong, so I will just go for a nice walk round town this week to go on the lookout for anyone else's good work.

That Rebecca Watson artcle is horrifying.

X-post!

My perception is that those organisations tend to be disproportionately male.

so-called skeptics and humanists have swallowed the trans kool aid. So much for superior powers of rational thought.

So many of the self-apotheosised leading skeptics and such are male. If it doesn't impact them, they're fine with thought experiments or liberalisations that take spaces and rights away from others. Look at the treatment of the women who had the nerve to complain in Gamergate or what happened to Rebecca Watson when she spoke out about sexism in skepticism.

It does make laugh to see that so-called skeptics and humanists have swallowed the trans kool aid. So much for superior powers of rational thought.

I'm going to start needing a gin before I read mumsnet (ponders....)

Ponders whether the pondering is about a micro-distillery for special About to Read FWR . If so, the bottle labels for the varieties are sorted...

The fucking Humanists are at it now? Every fucking day is a further descent into Hell with this bollocks.

Andy took this stance after serious consideration earlier this year, I believe. He tweeted about taking some time to think about it, then came out full on. He was one of the earlier men that I can think of to come out as GC.

I have a big soft sport for him. He gently coaxed me out from the thrall of the anti-vaxxers more than a decade ago, and is personally responsible for one young Italian going from unvaxxed to completely vaxxed.

I'm sure Andy would be utterly delighted to learn that!

The more scientific ones will be stating that they know perfectly well what it is and where it is. However, as a wise woman once commented, making a helpful analogy to understanding the Periodic Table: there’s no point rote-learning the location of the different elements if you don’t know what they do.

Given this general lack of understanding, I'd say it's credible that some people genuinely don't understand the difference between female anatomy and contrived simulacra.

Was only joking about the hate crime- not joking about the implications for this weirdos future though!

I'm also not really sure what he thinks he's achieving, apart from a bowel evacuation. He'll have confused and possibly intimidated other toilet users, and shown clearly that men who despise female boundaries like to flout them using TRA buzzwords as cover, which is exactly the GC argument.

Like this.

I knew that sticker reminded me of something.
