In a blistering article in the Telegraph, Julie Bindel cites the Professor Selina Todd deplatforming, the removal of the dictionary definition of women because of 'hate speech' accusations and the myriad other examples of the colonisation of Women's day by those who insist 'women' is a choice based on feelings.

But my main bone of contention is reserved for the LGBT Foundation in Manchester. One of its events for IWD, advertised as being open to “all self-identifying women who identify as lesbian, bisexual, queer or questioning, all or part of the time” is run by a man who identifies as non-binary and is entitled, ‘Intro to rope bondage’. The idea that ‘playing’ with sadistic sexual practices is anything to do with women’s liberation beggars belief

If ever there was a phrase that should be banned, it's "transphobic dog whistle". Everything's a transphobic sodding dog whistle these days, including reality.

'Useful idiots' is a great description of the craven politicos pandering to this agenda.

The agenda is crystal clear. The useful idiots can no longer say "they just want to pee in peace"
And politicians wonder why women object to being called 'cis'...

^Hosted by J (they/them) this workshop is ideal for newbies and a welcoming space.
J Lythgoe(@amphisbae) is a non-binary poet, performer and pervert from Manchester.^

They call themselves a pervert. Perhaps fucking sick pervert will be a better description?

Yes. It's interesting, isn't it? This is a war on language and its proponents are trying to sever the relationship between words and external reality. That is why they are determined to criminalise belief in biological sex and expand the exclusive category of women in a way which renders it meaningless. ...

On Tuesday, Merseyside Council was pressurised into removing flags being flown outside the town hall after complaints from a handful of trans people that the message on the flags were transphobic. The offensive words? A copy of the definition of ‘woman’ (noun: adult human female). Nevertheless, one ‘trans ally’ that complained to the council insisted that the message was a ‘transphobic dog whistle’.

She's right. And isn't it fascinating how many of these self identifying women all boast about their sexual fetishes? Yet women are expected to share intimate spaces with someone like the man mentioned above.
