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

Stop pretending that is what you said about her.

Greer is quoted as saying Caitlyn Jenner transitioned only because she was jealous of the Kardashian sisters limelight so if anyone enjoyed a good smear its GG.

Btw, can anyone point me towards someone who produces both sperm as well as ova? As I have always learned that is scientifically impossible due to genetics. Even for someone who is xy and develops in the female pathway, their ovaries are streaks and don't function.

As that very long article quoted above said that and it strikes me as false (and thereby destroys the 'sex is bimodal' thing

Elderly people with cognitive issues aren't always completely incoherent 24/7. The fact is she was admitted to aged care in 2022 so probably couldn't take care of herself.

She also interviewed on the ABC with David Wenham.

But apparently... she has completely disappeared. Strange that a woman in her 80s would abide by lock down rules and not be giving interviews. I notice she doesn't really seem the type to give 'zoom' interviews.

She has also been rather vocal about elder care for female people for the past 10 years. Maybe a man doesn't read articles about elder care for female people... I can image why.

Wow you really do your best to smear anyone who has arguments you don't like, don't you?

Even a senile Germaine Greer would talk more sense than any gender addled tra.

Wasn't there something about a correlation between wrong sex hormones and dementia (amongst the plethora of other health problems caused by gender affirming 'care')?

Thank you for this. I had been assuming that the "sex is bimodal" assertion was based in simple ignorance of how statistics work. But it now becomes much clearer why the error was made if you see it as as an attempt to apply Lewontin to sex. Race is not observable as a biological fact outside secondary characteristics (secondary in that they are not themselves race, but things like skin colour). It can only be described biologically through statistics. Sex, however, is observable as a clear, explainable reproductive strategy in itself, and independently of secondary characteristics.

Have I got that right? Does it make sense?

Trans people and those with differences of sexual development are still either biologically male or female, since DSD's are sex-specific. Gender identity, if you believe in it, is entirely in the mind, whereas reproductive sex is all about the body.

She had mobility issues after a fall. She felt she could no longer live independently.

I would hardly think that her coming out of covid lockdowns and doing several international interviews over the past few years since is her 'complete disappearance from public life'.

😂

Did she mention Howse during it? I think that’s why he thinks she has dementia, she’s forgotten who he is #sadtimes

Hmm, she was a guest on Louis Theroux' podcast in 2024.

A man has arrived to tell us that GG has dementia, but the evidence for this is obviously a secret because, astonishingly, he can’t provide it 😳 so that should be the end of the matter. Absolutely barking 😂😂

"widely rumoured" 😂That's your evidence?

As I said "aged care" is not specifically dementia care

"Her complete disappearance from public life" could be attributed to the fact that she's mid-80s and bloody knackered, no?

Edited to add: she put herself into aged care. She wasn't "admitted" to it - you keep trying to suggest she has failing mental capacity.

She still knows what a woman is.

He loves a Wikipedia link, he thinks it’s evidence 😂😂

Please provide the evidence that Germaine Greer believed "some trans women experiences are similar to CIS women".

I don't believe that she believed that at all, so I look forward to you linking up where she indicated that she did believe this.

And that as a statement is irrelevant. Because male people can be said to have 'experiences' that are 'similar to' female people's experiences. That doesn't mean that anyone in society has to change policies or laws to give them access to female single sex provisions.

In terms of public policy, all that's necessary is determining whether there's potential for harm from male bodied people. So whether a trans person can prove their behavioural associations to women as a group is irrelevant.

Greer was widely reported to be admitted to aged care in 2022. (You can google it.) IE she was unable to care for herself which was widely rumoured to be caused dementia. Her complete disappearance from public life & that she is 87 years old is also seen as confirming factor.

Not sure why people consider elderly people who suffer cognitive decline offensive but there you go.

Wikipedia? The site which can be modified by anyone with an axe to grind and which has no named authors of any entry? THAT's your clincher? 😂😂

Misquoted.

Yep.

This really is more wheedling. It is a case of, if someone can just find the right angle to convince women to allow male people to be included in the their sex class then it will all fall into place.

The constant pressure to accept personality traits which are malleable and changeable as a basis of categorisation of sex for the access to female single sex provisions is getting more absurd by the day. The contorting to make it fit must be excruciating to maintain.

Your inability to grasp facts is really disappointing, but predictable. GG isn’t ‘senile’ which you well know, you’re just hoping she is because that would be a way to discredit her. Imagine being so sad that an 86 year old woman seriously grinds your gears that you make up lies about her 😂

Sad, sad man in these sad, sad times.

Quite aside from the fact that you repeat asinine bollocks over and over again, what a thoroughly unpleasant individual you also prove yourself to be

Great quote by Germain!

Did you notice that she doesn't talk at all about 'averages' of behaviour? In fact, I read that and understand that she means the complete opposite.
