Two giant transwomen discuss how males bodies don't provide a sporting advantage. Hats off to Abigail for keeping calm against the lunacy.

Brilliant typo - accidentally on purpose? Grin

The only thing I have left to threaten mine with is turning off the internet. That is, however, surprisingly effective.

Louise Moody picked up an unfortunate typo in the chyron from that video

I have had frequent arguments with mine since they were 14 over how strong they are Grin

They seem to mistake me being able to overpower them through sitting on them, pure fat and me using my boobs as offensive weapons for me having bigger muscles

Its leverage mate...what are you learning in physics ??

ToeToToe · 27/02/2019 12:47

Just realised my oldest is 17 now (argghhhhh) Blush we did celebrate his birthday, I promise Grin

I have teen boys (14 & 16) - their strength amazes me. By 12 or 13 they were taller than me, and v definitely stronger than me.

In my mind they're still my babies, but the evidence in front of eyes shows me they have grown into strong, man-shaped and man-sized amazingly quickly Wink

What was with McKinnon smirking coquettishly at the camera when she was being introduced?

I wish the female journalist was a bit more articulate and confident - but I know it’s bloody hard to do if that’s not your default setting, particularly with two great hulking TIM glowering at you.

You could clearly tell the male presenter was thinking “I do NOT want my daughter playing rugby with the likes of you.”

McK is going down the Katie Hopkins route. Coming out with outrageous nonsense sells papers and brings in viewers, and will allow zem to earn a living for a bit.

McKinnon is lapping it up, much like many far right commentators do, they LOVE the attention and the power to offend and oppress.

I can't imagine a long future for them though, once people get their heads around what is actually being claimed.. its not rocket science really, once you know the average teenage boy can beat world women's records in various sporting fields.

In fact GC mums of teenage boys, if safe, do please encourage your kids to post their videos that show them beating female world or national records, to help drive the point home.

Why is McKinnon dressed like one of the golden girls

Sorry, but this made me chuckle!

Iused2BanOptimist · 27/02/2019 10:32

Kitten don't say she. I either say the name or initials.

Iused2BanOptimist · 27/02/2019 10:30

Rachel just spouts nonsense to a tiny echo chamber of devoted followers.

Iused2BanOptimist · 27/02/2019 10:30

Rachel is a nonentity on twitter. I don't know why Rachel even bothers.

Yeah ordinary men see it just like zuby

Think it’s a fucking joke and can’t actually believe that guys are barging all over women’s sport
And that the guys barging all over womnes sport don’t even consider that it’s totally a shite thing to do and CHEATING

GiantKitten · 27/02/2019 10:18

I was eye rolling throughout that whole video - but the worst part is, on twitter she thinks she did amazingly?

I just cannot say she when it’s RM, sorry, but anyway, RM on Twitter has the most echoey echo chamber there is - much worse than LM - so ni contradictions ever appear & RM goes blithely on with RM’s fictional narrative.

The wheels will come off before long.

ToeToToe · 27/02/2019 10:07

I'm loving Zuby's work here...

God, doesn't it make a change from all the beardy dude-bro's calling women bigots, and using trans-activism as an outlet for their misogyny.

Oops, too slow!

littlbrowndog · 27/02/2019 10:02

Then he took the British women’s bench press record
Strong stunning and brave he said
Gotta fight bigotry 😂😂😂😂😂

BettyDuMonde · 27/02/2019 10:02

RM’s treatment of Shrier is appalling.

Sarah Ditum handed RM RM’s arse on a plate on the radio a few days later - wonder why RM isn’t subjecting Ditum to similar treatment?

Presumably because that would draw attention to RM being trounced?

In other news, this dude isn’t a Feminist, but has a blue tick and knows the difference between male and female bodies. Will Rachel be subjecting him to a campaign of online bullying and demanding he deletes his account? I doubt it.

Fazackerley · 27/02/2019 10:01

What a g!

littlbrowndog · 27/02/2019 10:00

I love where zuby said “ I identified as a woman whilst lifting the weight Don’t be a bigot “.
😂😂

Sums it all up really Grin

Don't know if this link has come through - never done this before, but rapper Zuby breaks British women's deadlifting record (whatever that is - sport not my thing) whilst identifying as a woman - pisses off Rachel Mckinnon and gains 2500 followers in 24 hours

andyoldlabour · 27/02/2019 09:50

Slight adjustment, McKinnon is ranked 104th in the 2019 rankings.
