J K Rowling : always referred to as "gender critical' (critical giving negative vibes ) but never 'pro- women' ( pro giving positive vibes) would love to see a TV/radio news item referring to her as 'J K Rowling, pro women author, campaigner...'

the biological sex of the person whose specimen we receive is recorded as 'sex assigned at birth. ' It blows my mind every time I see it on a form.

😮 I could not stomach that. Can't someone get the form corrected??

The change the Trans lobby has effected in the language in common use is nothing short of stunning.
I'm temping in a genetics laboratory and the biological sex of the person whose specimen we receive is recorded as 'sex assigned at birth. ' It blows my mind every time I see it on a form.

Are you not tempted to cross it out and correct it 😬

That’s why the TWAW cult mantra has been so pernicious - change the meaning of ‘woman’ and suddenly our rights aren’t our own.

That’s a really good point.
