Hi, I'm Liz the Glitch! Ask me anything.

The thread I wrote about attending Posie Parker's panel on gender identity and social media has attracted a lot of attention, and I thought it might be good to establish more of a dialogue. Ask me anything!

Also, to get this one out of the way: my babysitting rates are £15/hr, plus flights, and I'll provide a clean CRB check 😂

Which opinions you you think women should have?

Whatever she wants? I don't have an opinion on what women's opinion's 'should' be.

What makes a woman a woman, can you define the word?
I'm happy to accept as women anyone who describes themselves as one, because I'm not some kind of gender sheriff and will accept people on the basis of how they present themselves.

What kind of message do you think you are sending by posting pictures of yourself dressed in your pants?

Is baseball particularly empowering?

Why were you wearing two pairs of knickers in that selfie you posted? That sort of thing can give you thrush!

Haha floral must be who knew
😂😂😂

What makes you think you are helping anyone?

Talking is usually helpful. 🤷‍♀️

The page selling baseball bats also has axes. Why do you feel the need to promote and carry weapons - symbols and tools of violence? It isn't consistent with e.g. "Painting trans women as violent predators is disingenuous, hateful, and inaccurate. Get the fuck out of here with this bullshit".

What is the solution to the Inscribed Square problem?

Is the universe real?

What is the microeconomic foundation of inflation?

What will tomorrow's winning lottery numbers be?

Baseball can certainly be em-paychecking if you'e good at it. I don't think they pay you for threatening women while pretending you're not doing so, though.

Did you really feel in physical danger at that meeting?

Do you understand the concerns that women are expressing?

Cross posted. If the bat represents empowerment, what does the axe represent?

I'm happy to accept as women anyone who describes themselves as one, because I'm not some kind of gender sheriff and will accept people on the basis of how they present themselves.

I'm not sure you understand the Gender Critical position. We don't give a monkey's how anyone 'presents themselves'- that is nothing to do with what defines a woman. It's just a description of physical sex category, as neutral as eye colour or amount of limbs.

Has a woman ever threatened you (not your self-esteem, but your person)?

Snooker!!! Aren’t the Welsh good at snooker??

You could have an awesome snooker cue, painted blue pink and white with loads of glitter and ribbons and shit.

I'm happy to accept as women anyone who describes themselves as one

Unfortunately that makes you incorrect.
A "woman" is an "adult human female". If you are not that, then you are not a woman. You are something else equally valid, but you are not a woman.

HTH.

What do you think about the tens if thousands of young children who will grow up requiring a life time of medicalisation and be infertole , because they have bought into the very trendy trans cult?

What words would you use to describe members of the two biological sexes, should you be asked to explain human reproduction?

The message I was trying to send was: the bats exist, they're for sale, this is what they look like. In the photo, I'm not brandishing it: I'm just holding it

I'm not buying it.

What should society do about male violence towards women and girls?

I'm not some kind of gender sheriff and will accept people on the basis of how they present themselves.

I think most accept based on chromosomes rather than how people present.

So in your opinion a woman is a descriptive word and not much else?

What does it describe exactly, if not sex and not presentation?

I'm happy to accept as women anyone who describes themselves as one [a woman]

But when people describe themselves as one, what do the describe?

Do you think it makes you look a bit ridiculous to claim words make you unsafe but wielding a baseball bat is just empowering?

Hi I saw your thread on twitter, and others commenting how they were glad you were safe, it could have been dangerous for you etc. Do you honestly think this is really a concern? Because it seems to me that the threats and violence in this debate are all in one direction only.

Was it terrifying in that room with all those women who wish absolutely zero harm to you?

I was anxious because I had no idea how people would react to a trans woman being there. Y'all are generally described as a hate group, and having no prior contact with GC people before, what else was I supposed to expect? I decided to keep my head down, politely engage with attendees, and listen.

They*

And would you now describe us as a hate group?
