Thank you to poster TheirEminence for bringing to my attention this wonderful piece from Barracker a while ago.
It can be difficult at times to stay positive, especially on days such as today. But no amount of coercion and compulsion can change the truth or reality. There are only two sexes. Men can never be women. And this farce will end. We women will see to it.
”We need to start from first principles once more and demand a Sex Discrimination Act all over again. Written properly for our sex, to recognise and protect our sex properly. A law written for female people that recognises the reality of being female. A law with no opportunity within it, none at all, for the preposterous Trojan horse of identity to allow men to claim to be women or to punish any woman for refuting that lie.
Let our law reflect the reality before us, and let it serve the humanity it is designed to protect. No law ever created to sustain a lie will prevail in a humane society.
Men remain men, male from birth to death, in every last cell of their bodies, whatever proclamations they make, whatever certificate they obtain, and whatever lies they compel others to recite. Male. Men. All of them. Without exception.
And the days of men believing they can use the words of our sex to mask their own sex are numbered.
This farce is going to end. I'm never going to stop until it does. And I'm only one of many, many women. And if I don't get to see the conclusion, my daughter will grow up, take up the banner and she will carry it forward. The monstrous injustice done to women by granting men the right to have our sex as their identity is going to be torn down piece by piece by female hands until it's rubble and dust.
Female is not your identity, woman is not your identity, we are not a feeling, a status, an idea.
We are the female people they will never be, the female sex they will never know, the female bodies they will never have. We are female. We will not be owned, we will not be their costume, we will not be their human shield and we will not be a tool of their validation. Men planted a flag in female and claimed ownership of it as if it was inert ground in the Wild West there for the taking by any claimant who fancied it. But female isn't earth to be claimed. No certificate grants you ownership of what isn't yours and what cannot be owned. We are people, and we're rejecting your claims. You can't have us and you can't be us. Female IS us.
It's ending. The end has already begun. This era was always destined to crumble and it already is, visibly and loudly. For every woman fatigued by this fight ten others are standing up, joining it and saying, enough now. Enough.
One day, before too long, this men's movement to claim our sex as their own, will tip, crumble and slide into oblivion. It has been obvious for some time that the end has already begun. People are now talking, thinking, refusing to comply. And all the desperate buttresses men are creating to try to hold it all together won't be enough. No hate crime law can stop this movement ending. No censorship of women's words will be enough. No escalation of violence will stop it. All this hatred of women we're seeing, all these lobby groups that maneuvre, all the millions pumped into campaigning to keep it going? The threats, the coercion, the constant bombardment of everything women have ever built? All are blatantly desperate attempts to draw out the dying process which is already happening before our eyes. These are death throes of a movement that is already dying. Even if it takes years, and aggressively lashes out as it dies, its death is inevitable, and it has already begun.
Men are not women. They never will be.
Nothing, nothing in the world will ever be enough to sustain this lie that men are women. There isn't enough force in the world to overpower the truth for anything but a fleeting, transitory moment in time. We're the ones living through that moment. But we'll see the end of this. It's already happening.”
