Mr Pollard has made his feelings quite clear. Perhaps you’d like to respond?

Also, the House of Fraser in Plymouth's staying open so we can go and buy our lippie. Every cloud

(I've given up pretending not to be angry and bitter)

HahahahahahA

So now he cares about maternity units and all that jazz that actual women might give a shit about

And the Jo Cox leadership programme? How many of them are actual women?

He’s now retweeted a couple of “aren’t women in politics great?” kinda things, presumably so he can say he supports women. About as subtle as a sledgehammer.

We see you, Mr P.

Plymouth’s sexiest people list

Just me who read that as 'Plymouth’s sexist people', then?

BettyDuMonde · 28/08/2018 11:03

Maybe we should start telling their mums?

I’m fascinated by the number of men who believe in some inherent quality of “woman” that our brains have and their brains don’t. That’s why they’re so happy to accept gender identity - they’ve always believed our brains are different to theirs and we don’t have the same kind of inner life they do. They used to keep quiet about it, but now they get to call it progressive and tell feminists off for disagreeing. It’s like bloody Christmas come early for them.

Bet you £100 he'd join LOJ in saying that the idea he should perform cunnilingus is homophobic...

Man too busy to comment on his own misogyny but plenty of time to stroke his own ego? Water is also wet.

TheCountryGirl · 28/08/2018 10:21

He looks like a stupid, snotty nosed kid! And I too am outraged at rotten little men declaring what a woman is and making it their place to give away WOMEN'S spaces. They have no right at all to do this. Fuck him and fuck them all!🤬

You've got to be confident you have no skeletons in the cupboard when you come out as gender critical. I think vice versa when I see unnecessary stuff like this.

NaturalBornWoman · 28/08/2018 09:56

I amazed how many men feel they have the right to change the definition of women

This, it enrages me. Every single time I see it, it makes me incandescent! How fucking dare they!

DelectableDetriment · 28/08/2018 09:56

He has time to answer that, but not female constituents concerned about safeguarding and silencing.

I am fed up.

Rufus, mate, you were here way before me, if anyone should be giddy, 'tis me for getting that kind of response from you in the first place. I be standing on the shoulders o' giants here.

But what is the government going to do about the legal fiction they have created, in allowing men to legally change sex? How realistically does this situation move forward?

How will they punish the non believers?
By ignoring the abuse of women who say no, which will effectively drive women and girls out of the public sphere and back to the kitchen.
This is not an unintended consequence. It is part of the purpose to supporting the 8th rule of misogyny: Men are whatever men say they are and women are whatever men say they are.

Me Pollard has been avoiding commenting on the thread all day, but he hasn’t been too busy to pretend to be modest about being included in Plymouth’s sexiest people list.

I kid you not. Check out his twitter.

I tweeted him m usual question to politicians:
Can you mandate belief?
Can you codify into law the idea that some people can mind over matter themselves out of material reality and into the opposite sex and must be treated accordingly?
It is a belief that no one actually believes.
Will you allow people to drug and mutilate children based on this belief that no one believes?

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 27/08/2018 22:07

ChattyLion · 27/08/2018 21:31

FloralBunting · 27/08/2018 21:28
