Stumbled accross this on twitter. Matt Walsh, an American political commentator is on a chat show and confronts transactivist to define a woman and tells him that he is appropriating womanhood.

Then after being told that he has 'traumatised' the activists... He provides this response!!

Wow. He says sh*t straight.... Haha!

@ScreamingMeMe

How does ignoring events like Wi-Spa in case people you don't like profit from it (which could be solved at a stroke by not supporting indecent exposure in the first place) serve women and girls "of colour"?

It was a woman of colour who raised the alarm, only to be called a bigot and a liar.

I find that as much as they vaunt themselves as unable to see sex or race, these people magically become able to see both if someone steps out of line. Weird!

Do trans activists believe in racial hierarchies?

Please tell us how this can be true when trans activists use mantra like phrases using black women as a comparator?

Are trans people trying to ban abortion?

Trans people are declaring that they may be the first transwomen who get pregnant and have abortions. Like it is something to fetishise. And transitioned males have photo shoots for pregnancy albums. And a transitioned male accessed a support group for still births with their intention of having a ‘still birth’ and forced women out of the group when they complained.

Are trans activists bombing abortion clinics?

They are releasing smoke bombs in Grenfell soon after a massive fire killing people. Smoke bombs meant to silence women discussing policies about women’s needs.

Not sure you have any moral high ground to claim here. At. All.

But please do keep going because it gives us all the more reason to bring up examples to show your empty rhetoric.

It seems very odd to me that when one side suppresses and lies about the events at Loudoun County and the other side exposes it women are told they would be better off sticking with their oppressors.

ANewCreation · 23/01/2022 21:10

If the Wi-spa perpetrator is not trans, Barley, how about the perpetrator of this sexual assault on a ten year old girl in a Californian women's toilet?

www.yahoo.com/news/sexual-assault-10-old-sparks-130013570.html?guccounter=1

The story has had to be doctored by the Yahoo pronoun police, to the extent of putting words into the mouth of the LA County Supervisor, Kathryn Barger to indicate that the sexual offender identifies as a Hannah but is male.

"It’s useless to catch criminals like [Tubbs] if we don’t follow through and seek justice for victims such as the 10-year-old girl [she] sexually assaulted. She bears the burden of a lifetime of trauma," L.A. County Supervisor Kathryn Barger, whose district includes Palmdale, said in a statement. "[She] will be offered therapeutic interventions under the auspices of ‘restorative justice’ ... and possibly granted only probation or parole. Where is the justice for [her] young victim and her family?"

I would be furious if my words were changed as a genuflection to the altar of the gender religion, all to protect the feelings of a child abuser.

Do trans activists believe in racial hierarchies?

Yes they do, they regularly say the most insanely racist shit I have ever seen in my entire life. In particular, implying or outright stating that black women are masculine seems to give lots of them some kind of sick sadistic pleasure, and it disgusts me to my core.

Are trans activists bombing abortion clinics?

No, they're nailing rats to the door of women's shelters, you must have got mixed up with that one!

Are trans people trying to ban abortion?

No, they're only trying to ban women from talking about it or protesting about it (thanks Munroe Bergdorf!), derailing the grassroots political movements for abortion rights and for women's rights with regular pronoun-related bunfights and arguments over what derogatory terms we're allowed to call women today, and ruining the credibility of organisations like Planned Parenthood by associating them with dodgy medical practices so they're easy targets for defunding.

But they haven't tried to ban it yet, no. Even the most gullible liberal feminists might start noticing TRAs aren't on women's side at that point.

Helleofabore · 23/01/2022 21:20

Fake tan accusations anybody?

Here on MN and by prominent trans activists on social media denigrating women for the colour of their skin.

NotBadConsidering · 23/01/2022 21:24

Yeah I don’t get it, all barley is doing with that post is pointing out that the assault on women’s rights is coming from everywhere, both sides of politics Confused.

Although I do understand why barley would be trying to persuade people not to forget about the Right’s assault on women’s rights, because barley seems to think if we all focus on that we won’t have the mental capacity to also focus on the Left’s assault on women’s rights, which would make barley enormously happy, I imagine.

Unfortunately for barley we are all more than capable of dealing with the assault from both sides at the same time, because really, it’s nothing new.

PurgatoryOfPotholes · 23/01/2022 21:25

Hang on a flipping minute. Trans activists constantly use the "you'll lose your access to abortion" card to keep women in line, and tell us we're empowering the far-right. I honestly think they need to take a look in the mirror, because Jack Posobiec, an American pro-lifer and right-wing commentator with 1.5 million followers on twitter keeps making comments like this:

Men can pass abortion bans bc we can get pregnant now too

Helleofabore · 23/01/2022 21:31

Should such a regime emerge again then all this fretting about who can call themselves a woman, and toilets and what words maternity clinics should use, and people being 'silenced' and even prisons and sports, will fade into insignificance as women are once again turned into unpaid domestic and sexual servants and women who dissent are tortured in prisons.

Can the hyperbole get any stronger and more unbelievable?

So…. If women agree with Matt Walsh on this issue, a dictator regime will take over our countries, eradicating our well established democracies!!!!!

Wims! Unless you side with extreme trans activists, you will ruin democracy in the known world. And we will have brought it all onto ourselves because….. we did not want males to force themselves into the definitions of the words we use to describe ourselves.

So, on one hand… democratic destruction by males who want to force us to be trad wives and keep us as slaves.

On the other hand …. destruction of free speech through coerced decisions affecting our democracy, ie, compelled democratic = destruction and some males who want to be trad wives and we are kept as women without any free voice and restrictions on what we do = slaves.

Hyperbole can work both ways… but my examples have more than a grain of truth to them.

Yes.

I am sure barely will be along to tell us why a group of transitioned males keep going on about getting abortions once they are pregnant, including one prominent academic.

Why a group have pregnancy photoshoots with fake bumps? And why a group insist they should be able to breastfeed and also access different support groups for mothers.

We shall wait.

PurgatoryOfPotholes · 23/01/2022 21:42

Women who dissent are already being psychologically and physically tortured in prison with the threat of male violence. Accounts are coming out now from formerly incarcerated women who were told that if they reported incidents of sexual assault in the communal areas, they would be assigned as a cellmate to the perpetrator.

“We are working with a woman who was punched in the face so hard by a new transfer that she couldn’t chew for three days. He was taken away and released back in a different yard with no restrictions."

“He was her cellmate. She had to sleep with him.”

I think posts like this are more worrying than the support for Walsh and really reveal the privilege behind the gender critical movement. We are talking about far right regimes where being cancelled doesn't mean you lose your consultancy post or decide to resigm from your university because students were being mean to you or even facing a quiet chat from the police to check your thinking. It means being disappeared, possibly along with your family and thrown in jail without trial if you're lucky or a mass grave if not. It doesn't mean isolated and indeed unpleasant examples like Wi spa but the systemic torture and rape of women who dissent. It means women and their children forced into refugee camps, gays and lesbians executed and jailed, immigrants deported or massacred. You've got to have some sense of entitlement to think this is in anyway comparable to trans women being included in women's spaces or maternity wards using language that annoys you.

Even in the context of Walsh we are talking about the removal of reproductive healthcare, the eradication of welfare, an extention of immigration prisons and deportations and the destruction of LGB lives and relationships and many of his political fellow travellers would go much further. We are talking about millions of lives destroyed. That you can even entertain an arsehole like that simply because he thinks trans people are evil is pretty chilling. This is how tyrannies emerge, when the so called liberal middle classes are prepared to tolerate atrocities to get rid of the Jews/Communists/Trans people whoever the targetted minority of the day is.

Thank goodness the gender critical movement has remained so tiny and seems to be slowly petering out because there are some monstrous attitudes within it and thankfully more and more people are waking up to that.

Sophoclesthefox · 23/01/2022 21:59

If it’s people who can get pregnant, including men then why is a threat to reproductive healthcare a threat specific to women?

You know who women are when you want to berate and scare them, barley.

Goatsaregreat · 23/01/2022 22:05

Yet here you are barley - regularly posting so many sneering anti women comments, defending the indefensible with attempted smear after smear. Your lot are rattled as the appalling excesses associated with an ideology built on lies are finally being detailed by journalists and courageous women and men the world over. And citizens are waking up in their millions looking in horror at what is happening to children, women and society.

PurgatoryOfPotholes · 23/01/2022 22:07

Barley, having raised the subject of homophobia-motivated violence against lesbians, would you like to address why trans activists picketed FiLiA and drew pictures of male genitalia on the pavement, as the women inside listened to livestreams of persecuted lesbians speaking from other countries?

Haha from the movement that has men dressed up as erect penises at their demos and goes round sticking pictures of penises on public artwork the hypocrisy is once again unbelievable.

And individual acts are not the same as a political programme.

Misogyny, male supremacy along with a good dose of bullying and sexual intimidation cover it I reckon Purgatory. Behaviour that some just laugh at. Confused
PurgatoryOfPotholes · 23/01/2022 22:15

You seem to be skating over the issue of picketing a feminist conference while they were speaking to abused lesbians in the developing world. What kind of person disrupts that?

I think it's that racial hierarchy you think you don't have, which clearly thinks black lesbians must cede space to white transwomen and white trans activists.

Whatiswrongwithmyknee · 23/01/2022 22:17

Are trans people trying to ban abortion? Do trans activists believe in racial hierarchies? Are trans activists bombing abortion clinics?
Well some yes because despite what seems to be the current acceptable discourse - trans people are not always right. So yes, some are as well as some GC people. This doesn't make it an inherent part of the TRA ideology and neither does it make it an inherent part of the GC ideology.

Do trans activists want to limit women's access to contraception?
They are excluding people who do not have excellent literacy skills from all sorts of healthcare through using obscure and over-medicalised language, so...yes

Do trans people want to ban gay marriage and think that women should become 'trad wives' and restricted to the domestic sphere?
Um...yes. If lesbians are not able to be lesbians and instead should accept cock, then the foundations of rights for gay people are being eroded. By defining 'woman' as anyone who in the 1950's did 'womanly things' then regressive stereotypes are entrenched and gender roles become more rigid.

Look into what happened to women in Franco's Spain if you want an idea of what a religious hard right government looks like. Should such a regime emerge again then all this fretting about who can call themselves a woman, and toilets and what words maternity clinics should use, and people being 'silenced' and even prisons and sports, will fade into insignificance as women are once again turned into unpaid domestic and sexual servants and women who dissent are tortured in prisons.
Yes so think about how similar the TRA techniques are to those used by such totalitarian regimes.

It's ridiculous that you refuse to see that gender ideology can, and often is, seen as extremist. The proponents, and their aggressive tactics have shut down debate and learning in UK universities. Clearly dystopian and very worrying. Is that what you want to support? Do you support the death and rape threats TRA have issued? No? so what do you expect to be able to align some beliefs, but not all, with others? Your posts are very opaque Barley and do appear to be another attempt to obfuscate and distract.

Indeed and about the only people on the radical left who support the gender critical movement are the Stalinists and Leninists of the Communist Party. Funny that.

It's a deliberate tactic London. Make the most outrageous claims, appropriating and misusing such serious issues and attempting to smear women with them. I recall another poster who used to post lengthy diatribes against women - word salad full of long words, regular and allegations about how appalling and right wing we are, individually responsible for holding up every right wing despot in the world.

It's all just politically incoherent nonsense from desperate people

VestofAbsurdity · 23/01/2022 22:20

No, in fact it seems to have nothing to do with trans women. And the idea this attack would have been prevented by a single sex space is equally false. Men who are prepared to do things like this are not going to be put off by a woman's sign on the door sadly.

Really? Had everything to do with gender identity ideology whereby a man/boy who says he is a woman/girl/fluid/non binary whatever can use the toilets/changing rooms of their choice.

The Well it didn’t take long to go from accusations of getting into bed with the far right to rapes are gonna happen anyway, so it doesn’t matter is such a compelling argument isn't it NotBadConsidering?. Proof positive, if it were needed, that TRAs and proponents of gender identity ideology view women and girls as sub human and any damage or discomfort caused to women and girls by their ideology is completely irrelevant.

PurgatoryOfPotholes · 23/01/2022 22:22

And there was the picketing of the LGB Alliance conference too.

And the picketing (and yelling of misogynist and racist abuse, including at people who happened to be attending a different conference for black people in business nearby) outside the Woman's Place UK session on the welfare of female prisoners.

It's a bit of a pattern really.
