Most stupid centring of men on national women's day

Fuck that pink, frilly shit.

They identify as us, but never with us.

I am on board with this. I would like to see trans women being respectful towards women. A very welcome sentiment.

Ugh...this one came through from a friend of a friend who had a female friend post it on their social. It combines sexualization and infantilization to represent *women. Nice. How 'respectful'.

What!?! Still no science. It's almost as if there isn't any...

It's such a great advert isn't it?

Come over here, attempt to patronise highly educated women about 'the science' and then come up with snake-eyes when asked to produce 'the science'.

We see you, and so does everybody else.

This.

It's all about the men that 'feel' they are women. But biologically they aren't and will never be just like if I 'feel' like a giraffe I won't actually be one.

That's an actual punchline to a joke Dave Chapelle makes about how he should be in charge of the women's movement!!

Yes but it isn't the same as old science so only "new scientists" can see it.

<checks watch>

Has this here science arrived yet?

@Boiledbeetle the snarky, sarky and very entertaining Dennis Kavanagh has referred to TRAs as The Borg for a while.

hahaha they try to be but resistance is proving very fruitful - I think we’re getting there

Have you got anything of any credibility to say @ElonsMusky?

I would love nothing more than to be convinced that you’re right and I’m wrong.

Because I’m actually really, really sick of feeling so angry and impotent about all of this.

I read that and feel the urge to say

We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.

True. It was not pleasant to realise this, but the resistance is growing because people are realising this.

The sexism makes it not weird at all. They've become VIP males with double the privilege, and this movement snatch and grabs whatever it wants and breaks it down for parts without the faintest conscience.

So weird that trans women tend to get central roles in various women's organisations and women's
issues rather fast, are over-represented in top positions in feminist orgs compared to their population numbers etc., while trans men tend not to get much publicity at all (unless they give birth).

And then we now have womxn but we don't have mxn, and we have 'non-men' but not 'non-women'. Everyone can get a slice of the women category.

The more things change the more they stay the same. It's also clear in how women are now replaced by body functions (menstruators, birthers) or body parts (uterus-owners, individuals with cervix, vulva folk), while men are not replaced the same way (no ejaculators or impregnators, no penis-havers).

It is all wildly sexist.

I have a mere BSc hons in Anatomy and quite often feel very underqualified on these threads. It has been coughty-cough years since I graduated, so I'd be very glad to read of any new developments in sexy science.
But alas despite a promising trailer, @ElonsMusky , so far there are none delivered.
You know what they say "science talks and bullshit walks".

The get into Newcastle Facebook page leading with a picture of Abigail Thorn for their list of 'inspirational women from the toon'.

They is a new one for me.

That was absurd. Why are so many men telling me about needing to have equity?

I'm a woman. Tell me how you're going to respect women's needs. Tell me that you're aware of how you currently prevent women being safe, respected and valued.
And stop letting your male peers make it all about them, just because they wear a dress.

That's not ok, Jeremy.
These are men. Drag is oppressive to women.

It's been 4 days. Did I miss the science?

No, Musky came back for a quick snark. They realise that there is no science, of course, but expect us to agree, against the teeth of evidence and rationality.

Yes. We don't know why Brianna was killed. In any event I thought that list was about violence by men against women? Even if she was killed because she was mistakenly thought to be a woman, wasn't she killed by a boy and girl? It is a different sort of case entirely, even leaving out the possible trans motive.

not everyone on here is in the UK "hun" this is UK based site with a vast majority of UK-based users.

He's obviously triple checking the figures

Musky is practicing the science of invisibility.
