Polanski is a buffoon

[Bertiebiscuit]

How anyone can take the Green party leader Zac Polanski seriously is completely beyond me. He has zero grasp of economics, beyond conning women out of ££££s by pretending he could hypnotise them to increase their bust measurements. He is the worst representative of gay men who worship the men pretending to be women, with no regard for womens and girls' right to privacy, dignity and safety. The man is a 24 carat buffoon.

I told you, I don’t like fake news and disingenuousness. I couldn’t give a shit about Farage but I’m not sure why you feel it’s ok to insinuate things which aren’t supported by the available evidence.

The data shows nothing of the sort, but when you outsource your thinking to “a quick google” or AI that’s the sort of nonsense you get.

Your DD hasn’t been raped or beaten up by a man so of course for her it’s a non issue. I have a friend who has been both and believe me for her it’s a very big issue. Teenagers are utterly naive about the trans issue and it’s implications.

Teenagers are utterly naive about the trans issue and it’s implications.

Exactly, my very lovely niece, who's at a very safe private London day school for girls, is full of compassion for all the poor trans people trapped in agony in the wrong body, as she sees it. The only vaguely trans people she actually knows are her non-binary friends from school, but she feels there are lots of trans people suffering badly out there, and they are all gentle souls who just need people to be kind to them and let them have what they want.

I love her compassion and faith in humanity, in some ways, but I worry so much it's going to lead to her suffering. Right now, it's leading to her being part of the push for 'trans inclusion' but it's off the back of ignorance and suicidal empathy.

She truly has no idea how vile some men can be, she's been fed a diet of 'be kind' and 'girls can do and be what they want' (a sort of private school version of 'girl power', I suppose) and that's all she knows right now. She's trying to do the right thing, for the right reasons, but is going badly wrong through lack of life experience. Heaven help her.

Stop with the patronising speech marks. It doesn't help your cause it makes you look narrow minded
I have read it all....
As I say there have been high tempers re both arguments here. I can see people claiming women's spaces are top priority, people saying abortion laws are top priority.
I haven't seen anyone say the other issue isn't at all important. Both sides have come close though. Which is ridiculous. I would hope

Excuse me for laughing at the idea that we have grown ups in charge- it’s been years and years since that was the case

Evidence please

Actually Transwomen are incarcerated for sexual assault at higher rates than other men.

That is a silly question isn’t it? Trans identifying teen boys ( rarer than trans identifying teen girls, who are also rare) are not predators.

The trans women in the single sex spaces will be vanishingly few and far between - personally I have never (knowingly) encountered one in any toilet, changing room, sports group, women’s group I have ever been in in all my long years of life. Maybe I just live in the wrong part of the country or don’t get out enough. They will presumably be getting on with whatever it is they are there to do- changing, peeing, knitting, running, chatting, whatever.

The men who might rape women, assault them or abuse them will be literally everywhere else and they will look, sound and act like men. They might be a boyfriend, friend, family member, workmate, at their hobby, in the bar, down their street, wherever. Again, in all my long years, I’ve had some negative and very negative experiences with men in all those places.

Personally, I find most men quite frightening. However, I am not frightened by trans women. I don’t see the two as the same at all.

Source?

I’m not great at maths but even I can see that the figures on the right are presented in a deliberately misleading way

Here you go https://committees.parliament.uk/writtenevidence/18973/pdf/

I mean did you ACTUALLY think that men’s male pattern violence just magically reversed because they decided to be parodies of women?

He’s someone who wants the best for the country, is realistic about how that can be managed in the economic situation we’re in. Who are your ‘grown ups’

So how are women supposed to tell ones who want to cause us harm from the ones who don’t? There are transwoman offenders after all. Because they have a dress and a wig on? If they utter the magic words ‘I identify as a woman’ then it’s okay? Do tell.

What about the ones who for single sex spaces is not about being attacked, it’s about having a space away from men (transwomen are men and rarely pass) for dignity and privacy reasons? Why does their feelings matter more, than say a woman who has been sexually assaulted and doesn’t want a biological male in her space?

How do you know the ‘transwomen’ isn’t a normal bloke in a dress pretending to be a transwomen in order to enter a woman’s single sex space? How? How how how! If the bloke pretending had to wear a ‘pervert here’ jumper I’d be cool with transwomen cause I would know they’re transwomen and not perverts, but there are no jumpers, no code. We’re just told to accept men into our spaces and keep our fingers crossed they’re not a pervert pretending to be a transwomen.

Sorry, no. I’m not doing that.

https://www.outkick.com/analysis/high-school-wrestler-alleged-sexual-assault-trans-opponent I don't understand why you feel you have the knowledge to say 'trans identifying teen boys are not predators ' they are as predatory as any other boy but have been given opportunities to access girls spaces that no boy would ever be given.

Any boy or man looking to push his way into girls or women’s spaces; where they don’t belong and are not wanted, is a predator.

Why on earth do you think that trans identifying men aren’t part of the “everywhere else category”??
If a man is in your changing room he’s not to be trusted.

Personally, I find most men quite frightening. However, I am not frightened by trans women. I don’t see the two as the same at all.

What’s the difference?

Frankly men as a class haven’t even come remotely close to earning the trust of women.
98% of sex crimes are committed by men
1 in 10 women are raped - by men
1 in 4 women are a victim of DV - almost always by men.

Why on EARTH should we trust them when they say “It’s ok ladies - I won’t harm you, promise, I just want to feel like a woman on a place where you get undressed”.

The sources are in the images.

The figures are right though and pretty damning even if you don’t like the presentation.

They are based on the census figures for 2021, and the Ministry of Justice figures for the numbers of each cohort in prison for sex offences. They are as reliable as the official figures are. Yes, there could be other reasons why trans identified males are convicted of sex crimes at a higher rate than other males, but the fact remains that according to a comparison of the datasets of official figures available, they are.

Exactly. I find this poster’s naivety and cognitive dissonance concerning. And it’s fine if she wants to bury her head in the sand, but don’t expect me to.

PP is uninformed, doesn’t have the first idea how misogynistic many “trans women” are. She doesn’t encounter them, and they’re no risk anyway she’s sure, so no need to worry.

Firstly, every man in a women’s space is violating women’s privacy and dignity. It’s harassment.
Secondly, men pose a much higher statistical risk to women, and if you’re more worried about partners, as it is correct that women are more at risk of violence and abuse in the home, I suggest you go and talk to some of the women who’ve suffered abuse from their “trans woman” partners. There’s a whole series of support threads for them here, one of the few places it can exist. There’s a brilliant film you can watch here

Anyway to sum up Polanski:

He’s a chancer who as a hypnotist was involved in a newspaper article where he said he could make women’s breasts bigger

His ideas are pie in the sky “other people’s money” stuff, he’s not going to be able to manage the tensions in his own party, and he’s economically illiterate.

Hes a misogynist, an apologist for violence against a female police officer and absolutely wedded to causes like “trans rights” and Gaza even when they mean discrimination against other groups. He’d be crucified by his own party if he conceded an inch.

It’s just a protest vote, you know this, but it echos why people are voting for Reform. It’s a symptom of how disillusioned people are with politics and the two main parties.

Oh, and he thinks the best reason for immigration is so that people like him don’t have to wipe bums. I rest my case.
