Roxanne Tickle proves that trans rights now trump women’s rights

A landmark discrimination case in Australia has seen a trans woman triumph against a female-only app – this fake liberalism is a smokescreen ...

... for what is really happening. One of the reasons for female-only spaces is because of male violence – but women are no longer allowed to say no to men in any shape or form. They are not allowed to call them men even when it is obvious that they are.

(I know there are existing threads about the court case, but thought the article is worth reading and also - IMO - a good one to share for those who aren't familiar with the back ground to this. And because FWR thread titles get picked up by internet seach engines, good to have another search engine result that spells out the attack on women's rights!)

'Territorial pissing' is bang on.

At 1st I thought Germane Greer was OTT when she said "Women have very little idea of how much men hate them" I realise now she was 100% correct. This is the latest proof.

'Tickle is no human rights hero. He has simply engaged in the latest, most fashionable form of territorial pissing, finding yet another way to assert that there shall be no space, none whatsoever, from which a female person may exclude a male person. He is very much a part of the global backlash against the rights of women and girls. '

How right she is.

It's the rapist mentality of AGPs (not unique to them, of course). Hatred and envy of women all bound up with lust. The wish to punish us for being what they cannot, for daring to have lives separate from them.

Thank you. This is infuriating. I just do not understand why these men want to enter female only spaces so bad, spaces where women have very clearly said NO, that they take it to court.

I mean I do understand that they don't want us to have anything for ourselves and they are woman hating bastards but apart from that.

It's about pushing boundaries. For some people, women saying 'no' is an irresistible challenge.

We've known that for a while, I thought?
Men are always more important than women. Even a man who says he is a woman is more important than women. ONE man who says he is a woman is more important than lots and lots of women.

Twas ever thus. I thought we were starting to outgrow it until the TransTrain came chugging by. Then I realised that a lot of men do really hate us.

Edited for typo.
