Just wondering what people think about her. I was sent a link by someone, and I do occasionally try to watch the views of pro-trans people for "balance", but I really struggled with this one.

I find her excessively pleased with herself, incoherent, ageist and of course prone to flinging around insults such as "TERF", "transphone" and "bigot" every few minutes.

I'm not quite sure what gives her the confidence to "diss" people like Helen Joyce, Richard Dawkins et al, as if they're idiots and she is some sort of intellectual giant.

She says things like this: "The UK's Supreme Court ruled on "biological sex", but they have absolutely no idea what they're talking about. The "Gender Critical" position on biology is just factually wrong. Finally hundreds of experts in the field come together to call out all this anti-science rubbish"

Other than being trans herself, does she have any justifiable claim to the superior knowledge she purports to have?

I think you should tell that to the many nonconforming cis women who have reported how miserable it has been to use single sex facilities since the SC ruling gave every bigot in the country a green light to go out transvestigating to their heart's content

The latest memo which sprang up from men bitter and resentful about the SC clarification - "I know, let's go with, 'thousands of women now afraid to use their own toilets because no-one can tell what sex they are if they don't have long hair and a dress. That'll work!'"

No-one believes it, Butters. No-one, not even you.

"I feel no threat from any trans person that might be in the toilets. I’ve never felt threatened by a trans person as it turns out.

The 69,958 thousand rapes that were reported between October 2023 and September 24 in the UK do slightly concern me, though.

91% of pеople prosecuted for sеxual offenses are cis men aged 18 plus. The biggest threat to cis women sadly comes from cis men.

Women are facing serious dangers not during boxing matches or from trans people needing a piss, but from actual violence that is carried out against them every week.

According to End Violence Against Women, every three days a woman is killed by a man
More than 100,000 girls are at risk and living with the consequences of FGM, forced marriage and honour based abuse

Kathryn Bromwich from the Guardian States that Trans people make up roughly 0.5% of the UK population and are twice as likely to be victims of crime than cis people
According to Home Office figures, this country has seen an increase in hate crimes towards trans people and cis women are supposed to focus on a threat we have yet to see manifest from a small minority of the country who are struggling to stay safe themselves."

-Kate Nash, GERM

So what? Kate Nash is also abusive to women she doesn’t agree with.

You are now just supporting more abuse of female people.

The pattern has been set on numerous levels tonight.

Kate Nash? PMSL. I wonder what Ms Nash would say to the victim of Kate Dolatowski, and all the other women and girls who were raped by transwomen in our spaces? This handmaiden does not speak for most women and girls. In fact, she speaks for none of us except herself on her hands and knees for males.

Besides it's not about being raped, it's about a rape survivor having to mis-sex a male and deny our lived experience as the oppressed sex, to satisfy the sexual fetish of the oppressor and predator sex who thinks wearing a dress makes a difference. I will never, ever, ever mis-sex a male, no matter how much they want to. My psychological health matters far more than their heartless fetish.

I don't support the misgendering of anyone, trans or cis, and think that anyone who actively and maliciously misgenders others on a systematic basis while knowing full well the psychological harm it causes is in a very strange position to be throwing stones.

I see. So a woman who has been abused is required to further her abuse by submitting to her abuser’s demand to be referred to as a female when they are a male person?

This doesn’t surprise me at all. I understand that you cannot recognise the intricacies of consent. And this is part of consent.

You fully support female people being further abused by their abuser.

You cannot understand the inherent misogyny of using a JK Rowling’s image as a sick gotcha. And you support her abusers in perpetuating their abuse.

Hahahaha. You’re funny. Or maybe you should listen to the many women happy they have single sex spaces free from misogynistic men demanding entry. Males do not belong in women’s spaces. However they identify.

Yet you don't care about the psychological harm it does to women, girls and rape survivors who are gaslit to mis-sex a male, a member of their oppressor sex. That causes far greater psychological harm to actual females than a mantruming male not having a female cosplay in his fetish. We don't care how males feel. You males sure don't give a stuff how us females feel. You won't even answer questions. Which proves you post in bad faith.

I think anyone reading this and then reading about your comment about supporting women will understand that there is a direct contradiction in your words and just what you support.

It is not a surprise.

"'We can always tell' does seem to have fallen out of favour as an argument this year."

Is that because you have stopped posting in as many places? Because no, it has not fallen out of favour at all. Maybe you just stopped participating in those discussions.

Just a reminder, with filters and poses some male people might be able to convince others that they are female in images and video. However, in real life with observation, seeing movement and maybe interaction, it is highly likely that female people can tell accurately which people are male people. That doesn't change regardless of how many male people may not have that level of accuracy.

I wasn't aware that gender critical feminism was quite so dedicated toward policing other people's appearance and presentation and then having a tantrum when they reciprocate using your own tactics against you, but it definitely seems to be praxis for you.

Has there been another schism? If there's a new group chat, I haven't seen the contents of it yet so I'm a few weeks out of date.

I think I prefer the versions of feminism that revolve around mutual support and campaigning to end prejudice and abuse for all women, rather than perpetuating it. I don't think you're likely to find much of that on Kiwi Farms or similar sites though.

I prefer the version of feminism that revolves around actual women.

Which is also the only version of feminism.

In response to @waitwhat23 who seems to have since deleted an unpleasant personal attack and asked me if I am a KF user:

I think I'd rather slowly gnaw my own arm off.

OP asked what Kiwi Farms was, so I told them.

I remain disappointed, though sadly not all that surprised, to see even a single poster on this board recommending the suicide-baiting eugenicist harassment nexus to others - and even doubling down to defend it, despite it still being banned by the UK for being so actively dangerous.

I might take this a little more seriously if you didn't have a reputation for ridiculous hyperbole.

But if you tend to claim that misgendering is literal violence and other such absurdities, don't be surprised if people shrug when you really are talking about neo Nazis.

I think it's a bit of a low-effort cheap shot to trick bigots into humiliating themselves in their clamour to abuse trans people tbh - they're more than capable of doing it themselves without prompting.

Didn't Glinner run some deranged conspiracy theory about Sugar secretly being a cis woman? I think there was a thread about it a few months ago.

'We can always tell' does seem to have fallen out of favour as an argument this year.

You are a funny little sausage aren’t you? I thought you supported women in defending themselves from abuse and misogyny?

Really?

I think you will find that only misogynists do that. There is no clever reason to do it.

But of course, you have jumped to the conclusion that we are policing how people look. Again, that is projection of misogyny there.

No, we point out that the people who declare that they 'pass' have male body cues that are very clearly identifiable which is why male people should never have been told by any person that they should feel free to use the female toilets.

No one is 'policing' their appearance. They are policing male people accessing female single sex spaces. You have been told this on MN for years now, but maybe you forgot in your rush to defend a misogynist who uses women as some kind of sick gotcha.

Pointing out that a male person has male body cues that are easily identifiable is just pointing out reality that a person is a male person.

Why should any feminist support a male person to access female single sex spaces? Whether it is based on 'passing' or not? I think you have again shown just how misogynistic activism that prioritising male people accessing female single sex spaces really is.

Well done.

We don't police "appearance" or "presentation". Just male skeletal systems. Nothing at all to do with 'appearance' or 'presentation'. I also note you didn't answer who on here recommended KF. You don't seem to like answering questions.

This is it exactly.

And a male person who posts an image of a woman as a gotcha when others talk about whether they can correctly sex someone is a misogynist or a narc. I cannot think of any other reason for them doing such a thing.

I don't think anyone on MN FWR cares about policing appearance. They do however look at male body cues and correctly identify a male person. Even the ones who brag about 'passing' when they don't.
