India Willoughby: I am more of a woman than JK Rowling will ever be

I think with this one because technically the law says I W is one thing and the same with RMW it's not abstract discussion as such.

I was trying to be careful to not mis gender and i didn't think i did, so i presume it was for another reason as i was replying to another poster who i have previously crossed paths with so I'm assuming it was something i said to that poster rather than IW.

Or i forgot and fucked up as this tablet always autocorrects to male versions of words. Sexist piece of crap it is.

Clearly not!

This. Don't feed the Twitter troll.

PMSL. Same here on both counts.

I probably said "whatever men say, they can't become women". Or something like that.

I'm more of a runner than Usain Bolt will ever be

I have physical disabilities which stop me from doing anything above a slow jog, but what have physical attributes got to do with anything when I know deep down I am the better runner.

I will expect to be awarded all the gold medals in future

Aw here we go. “I’m a better woman than you are.” such a loaded statement.

@nilsmousehammer @Boiledbeetle @MorvenOfMalvern

Blessings and peace be upon you! ;-)

I absolutely love Jake Thackray and tht is one of my faves of his, "bloody funny nun you are!"

I really like the one about his in laws too

I love that i am constantly watching things i never knew existed!!!

It's fab!!

Took you long enough to get here what kept you?

Epic that gave me a great deal of spiritual peace this evening, thank you.

It's at times like this, that i am reminded of the parable of Sister Josephine, as explained by Jake Thackray.

I have a visual impairment and my eyes are tired from trying too hard today so I just listened to that and didn't watch it. I knew exactly what I heard, every bit of me knew exactly what that was. The back of my brain that tells me when to be scared/apprehesive/extra alert knows exactly what that was.

As a side note in nearly 40 years of being a (not very womanly) women I have never threatened to take someone outside. Clearly I am just womaning wrong

We’ve got to the stage where society says ok fine to ‘decapitate woman’ hate speech but stating biological sex is not allowed

I’m not sure why mnhq is going along with this via deletion

It’s really sad. Our poor dds inheriting this utter mess. I want to change it but not sure how

Holy hell! Not been on social media for ages, but is this how far down the rabbit hole we've come with this now? These tw people are totally off the planet out of touch with real life, as in trees and water and oxygen and biology! In days gone by people talking like this would have been given a permanent vacation from public life, not given a twitter account and a tv show! I sincerely hope these 'flat eather types' are kept away from responsible jobs... and maybe sharp things.

The monitors must have been on a tea break.

Feeding the cervix, maybe?

Degendering is becoming a thing now?

Under the Forstater finding I think that one's dead in the water.

I am willing to engage in a mutually respectful social contract with someone by avoiding using a pronoun they have told me they do not wish or agree with - which means making an effort for them and jumping my language through a lot of hoops. Already quite a rude demand, all in all. I will not however lie and use a word I do not believe or agree with for them. I will expect the reciprocal respect of accepting using their name instead.

If they wish to push me on this, they're going to find me driven to discourtesy and they may wish they hadn't, because I will not be enacting a belief I do not hold. Social contracts are two way and respect is a reciprocal thing.

I wondered how long the @VioletLemon post would stand. 25 minutes. The monitors must have been on a tea break.

Blimey. I just saw someone have a go at Sarah Phillimore for ‘degendering’ White by using ‘they’. The purity spiral seems to be tightening. I do think this new tighter layer will start to cause tensions to start snapping even more than we have noticed since the Scottish government passed the bill.

I did and was deleted.

I think it needs pointing out that one of the fears is someone saying "they are not man enough". Which is the exact sentiment being vomited here. Internalised toxic masculinity is still toxic even if one is afraid of it. Women have their own internalised issues. This one needs to be dealt with where it came from.

If that were true, they wouldn't be trying to invite all men into our female spaces would they.
