Richard Dawkin's new book warns against denial of scientific truth by ‘astonishingly vicious’ trans activists and other threats on science

I must be. Confusingly though, even when I wear trousers, I'm still a woman but Howsa graph with equations and stuff will hopefully solve this puzzle.

Are you in super feminine mode?

Apparently, we shouldn’t expect to be told the truth about people’s circumstances unless it appear on Netflix. People will omit saying they have dementia despite key speaker slots, international interviews etc. and they obviously have dementia because they described the motivation of a male person who publicly announced his new identity in 2015, 8 years after Keeping up with the Kardashians started, as wanting to have some of the limelight his daughters had.

Perish the thought that a male who has a public history of lying would be trusted because of what he says on Netflix . However a woman pointing out a rather accurate observation that has a high chance of being true is the one to be accused of having dementia!!!’

You really cannot write this shit. We get a new instalment everyday now. The plot twists are riveting but sickening.

Of course :) makes a change from my usual green.

Something with baby pink and blue surely?!

I've laid out my favourite frocks already, not sure yet what I'll wear.

Perfect 👍

Wiki can do the afterparty. I hope I'm invited, last person off the dancefloor usually.

It's going to be grand. We've waited so long for this.

I'm booking an appointment to get my hair and nails done.

Don’t forget Wikipedia!

Betterer and betterer!

Maybe tomorrow will be the auspicious day? I hope so!!! I am not sure I can keep the excitement going longer than that, I am getting old and it can’t be good for my heart to maintain this level of excitement for long.

We could ask Netflix to sponsor the award dinner.

Well worth watching that clip from 2023. No sign of dementia there and she really doesn't look appreciably older than in the famous interview with Kirsty Wark in 2015.

Edited to add the link which didn't carry through in the quote.

I think she did like the Dragonflies there though.

But apparently, rumours are all that is needed to validate the truth about Germaine, and absurd notions about using personality traits as a valid method of categorising sex classes is all good...

A pattern of reality rejection is showing, I think.

To be fair, women can have both types of gametes in one body, but the small mobile ones have to be donated by someone else!

Among all the stupidity I missed that particular morsel of stupidity.

I mean, what's the point really? There is not even any basic understanding here.

How truly dishonest of you to say she was admitted to a nursing home for dementia. In 2021 she went to live in what Australians call an aged care home for precisely 10 months, before declaring she couldn't live as an "inmate" (her word) and went to live with her brother. I can find no mention of dementia, not even in Wikipedia, one of your trusted sources, am I right? 😉

Sounds like a great book. I’ve got it on my wishlist.

I'll just stop you there at your outright lie that people can have different gametes in one body. You are ridiculous.

I'm struggling to keep track of when Germaine is germane and when Germaine is not germane.

I never thought this day would come 🥹

I think it is also important that the aim of feminism in regards to 'equality' is corrected again and again.

Feminists have worked to ensure female people have equality of opportunity. That requires equitable solutions to achieve that outcome.

This lazy reference of 'feminists fought for equality' keeps coming up. Usually, it won't be relevant to correct. In the discussions of how gender identity negatively impacts the prioritisation of sex in relation to female people's needs and the achievement of equality of opportunity, it does need to be corrected. And on this thread it has been already. It cannot be repeated often enough though.

It is very often used as abusive tactic from MRAs. For instance, 'you all wanted equality, now you must accept the consequences'. And didn't we see that the other day loud and clear with 'if you don't include male people in your groups, then expect that male people will treat you without respect'.

Once you see one form of this abusive tactic used and the DARVO that goes with it, you will see it replayed.

Oh, ok, I've been so blinkered in my exasperated response to a couple of wide-of-the-mark quote-replies to my own posts that I hadn't realised that the person replying was on an absolute mission to correct everyone's posts with his/her godlike rationality tenacious dogmatism.

I will find a better way to entertain myself.

Sounds like a plan!
