So what are we up to?

Essentialists with slender wrists.

It's page 8 and I don't think we have said that we are biological essentialists.

What were we thinking, Hive Mind?!

We are simultaneously envious of a small set of males for being more feminine than us, and yet so unaware of what the natural female body looks like that we're liable to chase women out of the changing rooms for having hairy armpits.

Dare you to name change and try that on a knitting thread Artichoke…

Loving the Knockdown Ginger link - yes, that's exactly it. It's like running onto a knitting thread and shouting "You're all a bunch of yarn obsessed fascists who hate turtles!" and running away again.

Also: Sparple.

So remembering those two. While I continue to hunt for my manufacturing label because I definitely want to check my warranty, I am suspicious I've been Had. Parts should have been replaced yonks ago.

The statistics in that (beautifully written despite its awful subject matter) article are so bleak, too.

When those are the trans women being granted unfettered access to inmates of women’s prisons in the US it’s no wonder the guards are warning the inmates they are likely to be raped.

We need to keep on pushing back , we have to for the sake of our daughters, sisters, mothers, friends & others we don’t know and because so many women have sacrificed so much in the past.

That article is so sad for women, they can no longer escape rape in prison:

"MRAs and TRAs have chosen to export the problem to women’s prisons so that women’s prisons are unsafe, too. Not only will imprisoned men continue to be subjected to rape, assaults and murder at high rates, but imprisoned women would, too. 86% of female inmates are survivors of sexual abuse"

Oh for goodness sake!

“scattergun unevidenced claims about the place”

@DoYouSeaWhatISea
Did you point out that by their logic/rules they’re already responsible for multiple rapes & [sexual] assaults in a very short space of time. The WikiList of People Killed For Being Transgender is very carefully maintained (& highly cautious in who it includes); so I think it is reasonable to trust to its accuracy as regards it mercifully only having been two trans women who have been murdered in prison [due to being trans] this century. Apparently Carmen Guerrero’s murderer had previously warned prison officials not to house him “with a ft” - this article looks at the specifics of why the Reddit-Style slant (with omission of the latest blaming DoYouSeaWhatISea approach) is massively problematic…

(Bother, I got distracted into making a vaguely sensible point there, didn’t I? It must be fun to be able to just scattergun in evidences claims about the place & then run. Like an intellectually dishonest version of knockdown ginger.

@DoYouSeaWhatISea I can see a tiny flaw in their logic, wouldn't you need to be male, a hardened criminal and physically stronger then a man to do what they said you could do to TW?

Motherfuckers in seersucker!

Can I just say...

Repent Motherfuckers!!!!

I was on Reddit. I know, what was I thinking. Got into it with a number of TWAW types, who badly wanted all TW in womens prisons, and I said No. I was told that when TW in mens prison are murdered, that’s all on me.

I mean, I’ll take responsibility for the spare room being a mess, the kids being a bit mouthy, and my roots needing a touch up, but I really don’t think it’s fair that they’ve put me in charge of the lives of all TW in mens prisons. Not fair at all!

“Sparple” somehow sounds like a non-swear &/or an alternative word for a fart. Actually with the latter & the age-old smelt/dealt issue; “sparple” would be a good word to use.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I have decided I am ‘anti-sparple’!

Susie Dent’s word of the day today was ‘sparple’

^Word of the day is 'sparple'
(14th century): to deflect unwanted
attention from one thing by making
a big deal of another.^

We see this all the time.

The squirrel deflection.

Thanks Suzie!! A very apt word.

Sparple! Sparple! Sparple!

Thanks @FlyingOink, don't mind if I do - not tea

Sadly I can't see the label due to the adult human female wobble as I move mine about. The label in my cells appears to say XX, but what would that mean...
Does anyone remember? 🤔

I can't see the top of my arse! Manufacturing fault, no doubt. My head doesn't go round that far.

Wizarding World, apparently… (another thing to blame J K Rowling for)

@lifeissweet
A ball of hate being knitted into a sock?

I'm dying to know who we're manufactured by, incidentally. Everyone check their bums for a label or a trade mark

Mine says made in England, classy dontcha know.
I thought we was all Russian bots in fact?

I'm not real. I'm just a big ball of hate, apparently. Maybe a ball of hate in a sock?

I thought it was cervixes that we gatekeep, we do this as we are dinosaurs hoarding cervixes?
