Wrong side of history

[LyraPotter]

Here is something I know to be true: those campaigning against trans rights will fail. Your money will be raised and spent and wasted. Your legal challenges will not succeed. Your relentless attempts to do injustice will fail. You are on the wrong side of history. Your children will grow up knowing better than you. You cannot stop progress. Your efforts are in vain.

And every time I'm proven right - every time a court judgment goes against you and every time a law protecting trans men and women is passed and every time equality is further enshrined in the laws of this country I am going to return to this thread for the pure and petty purpose of telling you I TOLD YOU SO.

I have always wondered how these people find glory in competing against women too.

It totally goes against any ethical sporting principle

I've just thought of one woman who 'feels like a woman'. So they could apply to Labour All Women Shortlists.

So the entire future of women's politics is going to be run by TIMs and Shania Twain? Good stuff.

cross post Mrs TP !

Beth from Portishead maybe? Anyone else?

Nah it's not her - Shania Twain was singing about the trans ideology a few years ahead of the curve. It's "man: I feel like a woman" not "man, I feel like a woman". Think about it...

I'm seriously agrieved that 'Lyra' thinks he can take the name of a female character who gets to be awesome without having to restort to male stereotypes. He's clearly a bloke, a thick one at that.

Only kick arse girls get to use the name Lyra. My daughter being one.

I love it when TRAs come on here to rant. Wilful disobedience to the #nodebate decreed by TRA headquarters never ends well.

Lyra you've broken the rules and now the inevitable has happened. You've peak transed dozens of women.

Do try and remember that, despite being mere wimmin, this site has members who are journalists, politicians, barristers, judges, police officers, MPs, scientists, policy makers - and millionaires.

You know, those whom you have dismissed, quite disastrously, as 'a tragic outpost of the seventies'.

Looking at advanced history, probably a woman.

It's very depressing that woman can actively support her rights being trashed

Well there was that trollwoman who tweeted rape threats (to a woman) when the new £10 note image was being decided. Not the brightest bulb in the box there.

It's very depressing that woman can actively support her rights being trashed

That's the thing. Most men see through the rubbish but women seem to be acting as handmaidens to these eejits. God knows why. Probably youth mixed in with men knowing fine rightly that there are many within our number who can't be trusted.

Most of the trans people I know are quiet, unassuming and just get on with their lives. People doing the most shouting and threatening appear to have absolutely no skin in the fight at all, and just use it as an excuse to shout at women they don't like.

Just as the pedophiles tried to use the LGB organizations to promote their interests in the seventies so are the BDSM and Fetishists now using the Trans organizations of today.

Shania Twain is not American!

Seriously, EVERYONE is Canadian!

Well, to be fair, a Canadian is American in the same way that a Nigerian is African - the continent is North America after all...

Here is something I know to be true: those campaigning against trans rights will fail.

Noone is campaigning against trans rights. They are campaigning for the rights of females. I know a lot of people think female people don't matter and they should just budge over for male people, but some do think this is wrong, luckily.

Seriously, EVERYONE is Canadian!

Yes we are!

Seriously, EVERYONE is Canadian!

Is this like "Listen, we're all possibly Frank Sinatra's son"?

Can't possibly take Lyra seriously. A joke thread surely?

But my thanks to Lyra for telling me about the funding page. Off to donate now, very good consciousness raising thread, at least.
