Julie Bindel Women's day hijacked by trans activists

[BovaryX]

In a blistering article in the Telegraph, Julie Bindel cites the Professor Selina Todd deplatforming, the removal of the dictionary definition of women because of 'hate speech' accusations and the myriad other examples of the colonisation of Women's day by those who insist 'women' is a choice based on feelings.

But my main bone of contention is reserved for the LGBT Foundation in Manchester. One of its events for IWD, advertised as being open to “all self-identifying women who identify as lesbian, bisexual, queer or questioning, all or part of the time” is run by a man who identifies as non-binary and is entitled, ‘Intro to rope bondage’. The idea that ‘playing’ with sadistic sexual practices is anything to do with women’s liberation beggars belief

She's right. And isn't it fascinating how many of these self identifying women all boast about their sexual fetishes? Yet women are expected to share intimate spaces with someone like the man mentioned above.

Yes. It's interesting, isn't it? This is a war on language and its proponents are trying to sever the relationship between words and external reality. That is why they are determined to criminalise belief in biological sex and expand the exclusive category of women in a way which renders it meaningless. ...

On Tuesday, Merseyside Council was pressurised into removing flags being flown outside the town hall after complaints from a handful of trans people that the message on the flags were transphobic. The offensive words? A copy of the definition of ‘woman’ (noun: adult human female). Nevertheless, one ‘trans ally’ that complained to the council insisted that the message was a ‘transphobic dog whistle’.

^Hosted by J (they/them) this workshop is ideal for newbies and a welcoming space.
J Lythgoe(@amphisbae) is a non-binary poet, performer and pervert from Manchester.^

They call themselves a pervert. Perhaps fucking sick pervert will be a better description?

The agenda is crystal clear. The useful idiots can no longer say "they just want to pee in peace"
And politicians wonder why women object to being called 'cis'...

ThePurported
'Useful idiots' is a great description of the craven politicos pandering to this agenda.

part of the time part fucking time? PART TIME???

What absolute arse actually thought that and wrote it down?

Hope this works. Here is text version.

If ever there was a phrase that should be banned, it's "transphobic dog whistle". Everything's a transphobic sodding dog whistle these days, including reality.

My dog is transphobic. He can tell the difference between a man and a woman, and behaves differently to each.

So yep, reality is indeed, a 'transphobic dog whistle'.

My god! Mum used to joke that out old dog was a beaten wife in a past last life.

She would just not go to men - she would even growl if a man tried to pet her. The vet noticed it too - she would be licking the female vets but would be a nightmare with the male one.

FFS. I just came on here for a bit of respite as I'm shaking after (gently) responding to a FB post imploring women to "be inclusive" on IWD, in other words centre trans women because they have it the hardest. Just what the fucking fuck? This is from an otherwise lovely woman who is committed to equality and helping people and all the rest - I mean that's where it comes from isn't it - but so am I! I'm not a bigot just because I believe IWD is about women! Although I am of course. Grrr.

Sorry that was incoherent. Not good at social media confrontation.

Great article from the great Julie Bindel. Thanks for sharing OP.

Surprised she spoke up in defence of Posie Parker's flag though - definitely an anti-trans statement rather than pro-woman. They must have made up after their recent spat.

Why are you 'surprised' by Julie Bindel's scathing reaction to the removal of the dictionary definition of women? On IWD? She is a left wing feminist who doesn't believe men can self identify into an oppressed sex class. Your 'surprise' is indicative of a failure to understand Bindel's position. But Julie Bindel isn't alone. Conservatives, classic Liberals, anyone who cares about freedom of speech are opposed to this lobby because of its radical agenda and its authoritarian tendencies. The more the grim antics of this oppressive lobby and its colonists make headline news? The more resistance.

pigsknickers you're not incoherent. Well done for speaking out against this. One day to centre women, and we're still not fucking allowed to do it without the wail (TWAW) going up.

They're femphobic (is there such a word? If not, there should be).

The flag isn't anti-trans. It draws attention to the ongoing erasure of women, and IWD is an opportunity to highlight current issues affecting women.

The dictionary definition of 'woman' does not belong to Posie Parker. (But even less so to the male anti woman dog-whistler Harrop)

definitely an anti-trans statement rather than pro-woman

Is it fuck. You can't get more pro-woman that the actual material definition of what we are.

And whilst Posie has cleverly utilised it to provoke misogynists she no more owns the dictionary definition of woman than I do or any of the other billions of women on the planet.

I'm sometimes a little suspicious of Posie's motives but I can't imagine any way that flag is an anti-trans statement (unless you are a TRA who considers reality transphobic).

It's a pretty pass if we can't put up a dictionary definition on IWD. I would expect any reasonable person to be bothered by that.

Is it fuck. You can't get more pro-woman that the actual material definition of what we are

Precisely. And you can't get more dismissive or contemptuous than an attempt to redefine a word whose meaning has existed for millennia across cultures. This is a war on language, it is an attempt to permanently sever the relationship between external reality and the words which describe it. Newspeak on the 70th anniversary of Orwell's death.

So from what I can see the flag was removed, someone pointed out that PP is a right wing anti trans activist, her Tweets claiming trans people should be sterilised are shared... the council apologises profusely.

The result? People feel sorry for the trans activists and IWD is centring trans people all the more.

If it’s anti trans to say woman = adult human female then so be it. It’s also true

This whole agenda depends on people being terrified of being labelled ‘transphobic’ or ‘anti trans’. But once people realise that perfectly ordinary common sense positions like the above or like the statement that Only Women Menstruate are transphobic and anti trans they’ll stop worrying about being labelled as such. Because it’s basic bollocks.

Did it achieve anything positive?

Yup. Alerted thousands more people to the lunacy of this agenda.
