Guardian: weaponised emotional blackmail from 14yo 'trans' athlete

Loving your work @MyrtleLion 😂

If a woman partially identifies as a woman (demigirling?) what about the rest of her?

Why can I hear Alan Bennett in my head saying "Margaret says she's a demigirl. But she has been drinking the demijohns this afternoon so who knows how she'll identify by the morning".

Gerbilconda
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I found one.

Definitely a gerbil.

I think I might be way past Demiboy and trending towards full on bloke.

If only I’d ignored my inner engineer and just stayed on the fainting couch being all womanly.

Firstly, how do you find out which it is? Give it the benefit of the doubt, put it in with the gerbils and see what happens?

That's very kind and open-minded validating for the gerbilconda, but a bit shit for the actual gerbils, no? They have nothing to gain here and everything to lose.

Even if gerbilconda isn't going to eat them, from the pov of the gerbils all they know is it hasn't eaten them yet. They are never going to fully relax again.

So really, whichever way it goes it's all a bit shitter for the gerbils than pre-anaconda.

Whereas for gerbilconda it's quite the opposite - if they are genuine they get the lovely validation of being with their gerbil peers. And if they are not genuine... well.

So really however it goes, and however genuine gerbilconda may ne, the gerbils are still getting a pretty clear message here about the relative value of gerbil interests and anaconda interests aren't they?

And finally...

Do you believe an anaconda could really be a gerbil on the inside? Not just for the purpose of this analogy, but as something that could actually happen? Maybe due to a surge of gerbilesque hormones mimicking gerbil development?

Or do you think that's ridiculous? Impossible? Laughable?

Yet you happily believe it's possible when it comes to humans being "really" the opposite sex on the inside. Hmm.

I literally filled in a government form TODAY that asked me whether my gender identity aligns with the sex I was assigned at birth.

Forced religion.

😭

What are you on and where can i get some?

I think you’re only allowed to operate a soldering iron if you’re identifying as a Demiboy at the time. It’s far too masculine otherwise.

Do these people hear themselves?

I thought ‘girlflux’ might be something that women bought for their soldering irons.

What if the transwoman was remanded to prison to await trial, so a suspected rapist but not a convicted one. Should they go to a male prison?

Did a four year old come up with that, too?

How anyone can spout this gibberish with a straight face ...

I'll never know

Yes you are free to use whatever words you like, what makes you a hypocrite is that you believe that trans are trans because they say so, yet don't believe that women are women because they say so, if you did you wouldn't use "cis"

My nephew is a puppy!

It shows what we're up against. A wealthy, privileged family transed their child when he was a preschooler. He's cheating against his own sister and they don't care. They're cheering him on.

These people are never backing down, are they? And they have money and influence coming out of their ears.

Don’t be silly. He is male. Most 4 year olds spend their time pretending to be dinosaurs. . . .

Thank goodness that's normal. I've been looking after a 2 year old dinosaur for a few days now and was beginning to get worried. Does some very convincing stomping.

This is bringing to my mind a picture of the two and ten pence waterfall style machines in amusement arcades. There is a ten pence precariously balanced out over the edge, supported only by other ten pences. You see coins go in time and again and you think surely it must drop now- but no!

Demigirl: Someone who partially identifies as a woman.

Demiboy: The masculine equivalent—someone who partially identifies as a man.

Demigender: The overarching umbrella term for any gender identity that has a partial connection to a specific gender.

Girlflux: A specific type of demigirl where the connection to femininity fluctuates or changes in intensity over time.

But female prisoners who have sexually assaulted other women get put in women’s prisons. So, why, if you believe they are actually women, don’t you think they should be too?

Maybe they give them out in boxes of cornflakes?

Of course you can be a criminal and still be trans. But since this person has been convicted of rape, of course we wouldn't lock them up with female prisoners.

But we can know you can’t change sex. We can know that women aren’t just stereotypes, and we do know there is no strong evidence that male and female brains are significantly different, so what does that leave?

I'm not forcing anything on anyone. I'm free to use whatever words I choose to. As are you. And I'm not offended. I just think that trans identities are real. You don't. They are just opinions, since none of us can know, if we are not a trans person ourselves.
