although she got talked over by Ed Balls quite a lot. It'll be on ITV1+1 at about 7:40 I think until just before 8am.

I watched the Matt Walsh film datun.

you are right. They are so scared to say the wrong thing

but the thing that chilled me to the bones was that doctor who did the surgeries. The things she said were chilling
and the dad who got put in jail in Canada for misgendering his 13 year old daughter!!

I'm part way through the Matt Walsh film, What is a Woman, and I swear to god, not only do the people immersed in gender woo come across as absolutely insane - doctors, teachers, politicians - countless others, not neck deep in it, appear absolutely petrified of it.

It's quite stunning.

They’re terrified!

It’d be like making atheism illegal!

Heresy laws is exactly it.

This.

It would be bringing back heresy laws of the kind rampant in Tudor times, and it created a bloody mess then.

People whining about 'but other issues are more important than women's equality in law' are missing this point entirely. This fixing of compelled belief, compelled speech and punishment for failing to deny reality on command is insanity. You can hardly think a bunch of nutjobs who are sufficiently loopy to think this is the right way to run a country and apparently lack the capacity to think things through any further and see the very obvious issues - not least their utter lack of respect for humans Not Like Them - are going to be any more sensible on other issue.

and I might add they have been discussing how denial of their gender woo-woo could be tantamount to hate speech. If they were to pass this in law we could end up being criminalised simply for putting our hands up and complaining that it doesn’t all seem very fair!

So many people have been dismissing this issue as a non issue for so long, that now it is a bona fide issue they haven't got clue what the issue is at all. Embarrassing! But scary too.

I actually like Ed Balls - it is awful to see him floundering in this way - and in doing so making a complete tit of himself.

It should bloody well be a bad week for Labour. If we end up with a Labour and Lib Dem government full of politicians who seem to think that women can have wangers we are all buggered. With the word woman eroded we are basically opening the door for predatory men (not necessarily true trans people) to claim our sports titles, short lists for books, enter rape crisis centres, prisons etc. It will set gender equality back 100 years. It’s a shame because I do agree with lots of their policies but they will not be getting my vote for sure!

nilsmousehammer · 01/06/2023 12:19

Its been a bad week for Labour.

They are becoming the champions of spoiled, middle class young rebels without a cause, who have no commitment to the cause (witness the one part of the oil protest while having knocked up spectacular air miles to and from a distant over seas school) but love the opportunity for the behaviour involved. Mostly in the role of the indulgent middle class virtue signalling and slightly bumbling parents.

That isn't going to get the working man's vote, never mind the working woman's vote.

SirVixofVixHall · 01/06/2023 09:47

I have only just watched that clip. Ed Balls looks such an idiot there.

Kathleen Stock and the Oxford Union being discussed on Jeremy Vine Radio 2 right now.

His fave 'feminist and trans activist' Montie is on, talking utter balls again. It's quite the entertaining listen.

Was Jeremy doing his faux naivety thing again? I find that SO grating.

My theory on that, is that these men are mainly angry at other men who they are scared to stand up to, and then expect to be able to punch down because at least they're better than (all) women. When that doesn't work too good, FURY.

Discussions about the anger of beta males goes way, way back to the transitioning boys who had been ridiculed and rejected by girls at school as a boy, but in transition found those girls would nurture and listen and give lots of positive attention. The anger comes when they find the kindness and attention won't go as far as providing sex.

I reckon that's what old Sigmund would say. Mind you, he was a right knob.

Ah, I see what you did there.

AutumnCrow · 31/05/2023 13:29

I think they (the 'subjects') are angry with their mothers.

HEY LET'S GET ALL FREUDIAN, DUDES

If that ties into Oedipal issues (for the males) / Elektra issues (for females) then they're angry with their fathers too, and with their mothers for being with their fathers in the first place.

The very act of creation of the subject needs to be rejected at the point of conception so that the 'true trans person' can create themselves asexually, in order to save their psyche from intense feelings of jealousy of one or both parents. This new ideology permits psychic salvation, and feelings of euphoria serve to replace temporarily the powerful human emotion of shame.

I reckon that's what old Sigmund would say. Mind you, he was a right knob.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 31/05/2023 13:12

I think that describes a subset of them well, yes, Bez. The 50 year old alpha macho man type transitioning to be their "true selves" is another, we can't get into the motivations too much within talk guidelines.

The aggression and extremism of the responses of trans activists is in direct proportion to the extent they realise that their arguments are insupportable.

They angry cause they know they can't defend their assertions.

There is also a small but not entirely insignificant proportion of men who simply get really, really angry when a woman disagrees with them.

I'm related to one, and I've worked with a couple of others. I think Jolyon Maugham might be one. Owen Jones is definitely one. A a fair few TRAs.

Thanks! This was just a really quick piece. I'm working on lots of other pieces about women in history meanwhile.

Ed Balls is such a sack of meat.

"Ed Balls also used the ridiculous technique of spouting, ‘lots of people would say that’s an extreme’, without any data to back up that lazy assertion. "

Not only is the 'lots of people would say' ridiculous but cowardly. If there is any truth to that statement why does he not just say it himself?

I expect security are by now wise to this, given how often it's used in protests? They must have the correct solvent in a handy pocket-sized bottle for every eventuality.

Thanks for explanation, though, I've always worried about people getting injured glueing themselves to things.

Given the fuss that most universities make about even using Blutack, surely this student should have used Command strips instead.
