Immature eggs and sperm cells are present at birth in both sexes, they start to mature at puberty.

I guess if words don't mean anything you can claim she is inaccurate easily enough

Although if words can mean what we mean , then I say glad to see shiz. Praisibg Susan a much

This is a very clear well
Written article. Wish we had journalists like Susan In Ireland instead of the wokeratti fawning on the whole trans idealology & shouting be kind.

Exactly, although the letters in the Irish Times from readers are encouraging. It seems though that journalists in Ireland do not want to take this on.

Exactly Mullets, cowards the lot of them.

In a video for ‘Out for Scotland’ released earlier this week, Nicola Sturgeon announced that her “chosen pronouns are she and her”.

This is quite ridiculous isn't it? She has been referred to as she her entire life, she had absolutely no need to "chose" pronouns.

I look forward to seeing her tattoo them on her chest.

Superb article, thanks for sharing @2Rebecca. I shared it with my mid teen daughter.

Great ratio of comments there. The public are waking up. It’s going to be messy to clean up but the pushback is here.

Surely she should be binding her breasts soon too? After all she has short hair, doesn’t having short hair and a top job make you a man?

She is ridiculous enough already. Speculating on her becoming part of the non existing middle aged FTM cohort is pointless because, well their isn't one.

@Shizuku

"My name is Susan Dalgety, and I am a feminist. I believe that human beings are born with either male or female sex gametes (egg cells for women, sperm for men). "

Actually, sperm production doesn't start until puberty. I mean if you can't get even the most basic biological facts right in your opening sentence, it doesn't bode well for the rest of the article.

She said men and women, not girls and boys... suggesting adult humans, post puberty, making your comment pedantic and entirely invalid. But I see why you attempted this as your first swipe, as the rest of your arguments are even more hollow and vapid.

I thought it was poorly written. The phrasing was very clumsy and it wasn't persuasive. I agree with it, but I won't let that affect whether I think it's well-written.

Not that I could do any better, of course.

@Thelnebriati

If you support rapists being placed in women's prisons, but you want to get picky over the wording of this article, do crack on.
Yep exactly this. I couldn’t give a toss what someone who doesn’t understand material reality has to say about anything - and it seems that the general public are waking up to the idealogical nonsense that has snuck in by the back door and saying wtf?
