Writing from Twitter prison!

Last I read there were a bunch of TRAs trying to slander Fionne as a Camsex person

Jesus, they call us ‘SWERFs’ for being pro Nordic model/anti porn yet they try and single out and victimise someone for being involved in virtual ‘sex work’?

That’s off the scale hypocritical, regardless of whether Fionne has or hasn’t participated in camsex (which is none of my business, for the record).

ever since she cracked a joke that Vole would have to eat the sprouts now as they identified as cabbages.

I want to be vole's nan when I grow up.

‘What would me Nan say?’

At 94, something very not-woke

Thus always makes me think of that fashion feature in a women's magazine way back - can't remember which. They used to put photos of that season's ridiculous high fashion on the catwalk and simply ask "Would they wear it in Wigan?". Now there's probably classist and anti-Northern undertones to that, but I always read it as Wigan being a bastion of common sense

Outstanding work Sandy

Hi @Glinner sorry to hear about your ban.,I follow and regularly report the personal nasty comments to you as targeted abuse.

Just yesterday I reported three actually. I'm like the Silent Assassin. 😂

Build up for me was years ago - Natasha Thoday incident in Brighton. Pure manipulation of their position as a temporary teacher speaking about being trans to primary school children.

The outrage at the character Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs as being transphobic - even when he was clearly described as not.

Next was the "Pussy" hats in the US and the complaints about it being exclusionary. For gods sake it was about specific genitalia assaults.

Next came the cotton ceiling discussions.

Then along cake Lily Maddagain who would insist on being searched by a female to enter a club.

Caitlin Jenner keeping Male privilege as Woman of the Year. And the creepy story of trying on stepchildren female clothes.

Steph-on-knee. Say no more.

Pips Bunce taking a woman's award. When they only identify a few days a week.

Add to that sporting events with transwomen competing against girls.

The sheer arrogance masculine aggression and narcissism of Charlotte Clymer, Rachel McKinnon, Jess Bradley, Shon Faye etc etc

And finally the current bullying and aggression towards the lovely Debbie Hayton and Fionne Orlander. And the shut down of Miranda Yardley.

The hatred those two are currently undergoing on Twitter is pretty awful and upsetting. Last I read there were a bunch of TRAs trying to slander Fionne as a Camsex person.

The irony being when you look on the attackers media there's almost always some kind of fetish/kink stuff related to being a "trans girl "

Oh and that on every bloody twitter profile ....just a brave trans girl finding her way in a scary world. You can crowdfund me here.....

No you're a bloody 50 year old wanting to be sexualised you chugging AGP. Ffs.

Sorry, but once you squeeze the zit....it doesn't stop.

Vole is currently too busy petitioning her mum to no-platform grandma at Xmas dinner, ever since she cracked a joke that Vole would have to eat the sprouts now as they identified as cabbages.

Sandy, you just get better and better

Has Vole's Nan told xir to get a job yet?

Poor Vole. So oppressed by her grandma.

Funny and heartbreaking in equal measure. As comedy should be.

Is anyone else picturing Vole's grandad as John Shuttleworth?

I actually thought that the poem was very sad. :( Good, but sad.

Sandy, that is marvellous.

I’ve always said that you don’t need a fancy education to challenge TRA ideology- you just need to ask yourself ‘What would me Nan say?’

Which is why ‘everyone knows what a woman is, we all came out of one’ is so powerful - it’s a perfect Nannaism!

apologies for rubbish timing of my very blue post Sandy!

‘Salted diamonds’

Sorry to harp on about fear of job losses but I should have added to my list (which dwells on the public sector because that is my patch) that a lot of women who run their own businesses can’t openly say what they think about these issues either. They are terrified of being targeted on social media as losing customers and contracts- as we all are.

And there is also huge sex and class power disparity exploitation going on- as your rightly point out Glinner - Young White middle class Male-bodied TRAs insisting that women security staff pat them down (you can guess who that one was),
And that Canadian case of a male-bodied TRA harassing female beauticians working in female salons to get them to wax her cock and balls. Thread on here about that.

Please do keep pointing it out by whatever platform will let you on, because then hopefully people will start joining the dots about what is really happening here.

Sandy You draw, I c&p!

Sterling work there @r0wantrees!

that's so .... moving

I was late to the party, but The Guardian's reporting of Marie Dean started me off on a whole spring, summer and autumn of regular peaking.
This New Statesman piece on how a male sex offender became a poor, oppressed victim is excellent.

Sandy

Poor Vole. So oppressed by her grandma.

Sandy - we love Vole, more Vole please

Love that, Sandy!

my #peaktrans went like this:

• errrr but? Years ago the 'first man to get pregnant' was plastered all over the tabloids - but it's a woman - short hair & a beard don't make you a bloke & if you are pregnant then you are absolutely 100% female

then

• something's not right here. The language 'living as a woman' 'feels like a woman' it is absolutely meaningless, nothing real can be founded on such nonsense.

then

• I don't like this. The obsession with gender roles is so regressive, I thought we were moving past that - obviously not. The woman face costumes - porn doll, little girl, middle aged housewife ... then I found out about AGP & they started to make horrible sense.

then

• gloves off. The girl dick, a clit on a stick, men saying they are lesbians, the cotton ceiling. That was it, I have a lesbian daughter & I don't think I've ever felt so angry.

Everyone is peaked by something different. For my mum it was Karen White, MIL was horrified by that ITV thing (Butterfly?), for my dad it was sport - Rachel McKinnon, dh was finally peaked by the Goldsmith Gulag & LM (he was generally gender critical but very much 'not my lane'). It was actually #nodebate that moved dd from her lets all be nice to questioning - and once you start to question it all falls apart.

We have a trans family member & dd has trans friends - every single one of them would fit into the ROGD mould. It is horrendous. DH & I are so so so careful about what our younger kids are exposed to now - imagine if schools were pushing pro-ana propaganda because that's what they are doing with trans ideology.
