Who on earth would want to ban feminist books from a Women's Library? Hope that the Vancouver Women's Library stands firm and doesn't bow to this women hating group. Hope the library get's lots if support - this attempt to bully and censor seems to be becoming much more common, unfortunately.

I got to this part of the linked blog post and wondered if the writer was trying to kill the reader, perhaps with comedy

"I know libraries are for storing books that you can’t buy and have to give back and that they tell you off for using highlighter pens (even when they’re pink), but that is not the issue here."

Hahaha women, pink. So woman, so pink. FFS.

Please tell me that is all an actual joke Basil?

"Ever since I became aware of Bindel being invited to talk at a venue I’ve never heard of, about subjects I know nothing about, I have been distraught. I have been bursting into tears several times a day, and unable to do anything except look at funny cat videos on YouTube."

That can only be a joke, right? I didn't sleep last night and I fear I'm unable to understand if that is comedy or not. Mainly because I think Trans Activists are capable of such lunacies.

Thankfully I'm pretty sure it is satire Smile agree it can be hard to tell!

Yes I read further and have been having a good chortle. It goes to show how batshit some of this stuff has become, that I thought it as genuine for quite some time.

Yes that's the thing, there is such a level of madness in transactivism that if you read this really quickly without paying attention, you could easily miss that it's satire.

Because this is actually the sort of shit they come out with on a fairly regular basis.
