India has stated this on Twitter.

Doesn't it tell us a lot about how genderism rests on social stereotypes? How is India 'more of a woman' than someone born female?

Is Kemi Badenoch really endorsed by Britain First??? Have they not looked at a photo of her?

Sorry, not trying to derail the conversation. I've never seen that big brother clip before, and its blinding obvious that the person in the sunglasses is male, despite all their aggressive hectoring. I am particularly pleased by AW's expression, and by the woman I cant identify who just keeps swigging the Pinot Grigio throughout the whole rant!

I have no idea whether it's true or not. Britain First's site/facebook page isn't an area of the internet I frequent.

That said, as I saw IW's post go viral on twitter (and other forms of social media), it did occur to me that any public endorsement from Britain First was likely to result in a net loss of votes for the lucky one. It's reputational poison. It also occurred to me that the leader of Britain First knew that too. What if he wanted to use his group to ensure we didn't get a black woman as prime minister?

How many members of Britain First are there? How many could there be who pay subs to the Conservative party and had the right to participate in the leadership election? Seems to me that Britain First's biggest weapon in the conservative leadership election was the negative publicity they would bring to any selected candidate. I really do think the leader(s?) could be aware of that.

So well done, all those people who desperately tried to signal their anti-racism by condemning Kemi Badenoch on the strength of IW's post. Thanks for quite possibly playing into a campaign to block a black woman from becoming prime minister, just because she was a black woman.

What a fanciful imagination India has.

Think you’re being generous there.

Well...I'm not a cruel woman. But I'm also shit at converting what's an inch? 1.5 cm??

😏

I want to say 6 inches

Absolutely agree. The time for pretence is long gone. No matter what cosmetic "mutilations" as Professor Robert Winston puts it, a person goes through they will never change sex.

"He said: 'There is no question that we can change our gender, we can do it by mutilating ourselves, we can do it by removing bits of our body and therefore change our shape and so on.

'But you can't change your sex, because that is embedded actually in those (a person's) genes in every cell in the body, that's the difference."

I’m intrigued by the parameters for more/less woman?

Toxic masculinity? They're scared to use male spaces for fear of being harassed. LOL

They aren't scared. They want to be validatedd which is why they use the women's. So now we get to be actually scared but they get to be validated. Yay men!

Fuck that men are not and will never be women.

Everyone knows women are adult human females, whether they admit it or not.

Saying that TW aren’t women is simply denying the “female” part, entirely accurately.

You have to wonder… what part of “adult human female” are the TRAs denying in black women, when they claim it’s equivalent to say the same of them?

Blister · 23/01/2023 20:20

Lol. Toxic masculinity is trying to find its place in the female world. Mate, we don't do that here. 😂

Interestingly, my autocorrect doesn't recognise transwoman as a word, and suggests transplant as the alternative...

Can a cow, pig or sheep identify (or be vicariously identified) as a transplant, so that apparent omnivores can still eat them, but actually be fully accepted and celebrated as vegans?

Transplants.

Oh goodness.

Can't breathe properly 😂

Never thought of it that way before!

Helleofabore · 23/01/2023 20:19

They show their racist selves up every time.

They do. On these threads. Time and time again....

I really can't stomach the way these activists focus on one race of women in particular to deny that they are women in the same way as every other adult human female. It's disgusting.

And you'd think even the most dyed in the wool rabid transactivist would be able to concede that adult human females of any race are women in exactly the same way as each other, while "trans women are women" in a way that's maybe just a teensy bit different. But apparently acknowledging that would be too much grace for them to display, they've got to go balls out racist every time.

Exactly. They show their racist selves up every time.

IW complains that there is never any Trans representation on TV.

There have been loads of Trans representatives on TV / radio this last week or so.

IW did the section with Helen Joyce? What else has IW done?

I suspect this is someone trolling trying to raise their profile. Who better to do it with than trying to start a fight with JKR?

I am not sure that IW has realised that many people perceive IW to have Right wing views that could be considered extreme and this may be why IW is not getting the TV jobs.

If India stopped taking India's oestrogen cross sex hormones, India would soon find that India would very rapidly revert back to India's normal state.

India is confused.
Men with no testicles are not women.

Actually India knows all this, that is why India is perpetually angry.
India wants something that they can never have, and wants to be something they will never ever be.

It must be anger inducing.
Sorry India.

I love JKR's response!

😂

WarriorN · 23/01/2023 19:49

It's all attention seeking

catandcoffee · 23/01/2023 19:46

Being one of the lucky ones .....blocked by this person.....even though I've never interacted with THEM.

I never get to see the madness THEY post

I think they're hoping for the amazing Woman called JK Rowling,to reply or quote the silly tweet.

WallaceinAnderland · 23/01/2023 19:43

Black women are female.

Transwomen are male.

India keeps trying to get people to agree that if black women are accepted as 'real' women, transwomen should be too.

Sooooo racist

I think they're Brians, not Messiahs.

IW truly is the miracle of modern medication and mental health combined that no-one in the medical world can bring themselves to believe could be true.

It's like all those guys who declare they are Jesus. No one ever seems to realise they really are the messiah.
