India has stated this on Twitter.

Doesn't it tell us a lot about how genderism rests on social stereotypes? How is India 'more of a woman' than someone born female?

Degendering is becoming a thing now?

Under the Forstater finding I think that one's dead in the water.

I am willing to engage in a mutually respectful social contract with someone by avoiding using a pronoun they have told me they do not wish or agree with - which means making an effort for them and jumping my language through a lot of hoops. Already quite a rude demand, all in all. I will not however lie and use a word I do not believe or agree with for them. I will expect the reciprocal respect of accepting using their name instead.

If they wish to push me on this, they're going to find me driven to discourtesy and they may wish they hadn't, because I will not be enacting a belief I do not hold. Social contracts are two way and respect is a reciprocal thing.

The monitors must have been on a tea break.

Feeding the cervix, maybe?

Holy hell! Not been on social media for ages, but is this how far down the rabbit hole we've come with this now? These tw people are totally off the planet out of touch with real life, as in trees and water and oxygen and biology! In days gone by people talking like this would have been given a permanent vacation from public life, not given a twitter account and a tv show! I sincerely hope these 'flat eather types' are kept away from responsible jobs... and maybe sharp things.

MarshaBradyo · 23/01/2023 22:30

We’ve got to the stage where society says ok fine to ‘decapitate woman’ hate speech but stating biological sex is not allowed

I’m not sure why mnhq is going along with this via deletion

It’s really sad. Our poor dds inheriting this utter mess. I want to change it but not sure how

Here's the delightful transwoman in all THEIR feminine glory.

I have a visual impairment and my eyes are tired from trying too hard today so I just listened to that and didn't watch it. I knew exactly what I heard, every bit of me knew exactly what that was. The back of my brain that tells me when to be scared/apprehesive/extra alert knows exactly what that was.

As a side note in nearly 40 years of being a (not very womanly) women I have never threatened to take someone outside. Clearly I am just womaning wrong

It's at times like this, that i am reminded of the parable of Sister Josephine, as explained by Jake Thackray.

Epic that gave me a great deal of spiritual peace this evening, thank you.

Aw here we go. “I’m a better woman than you are.” such a loaded statement.

ConfusedNT · 24/01/2023 00:17

I'm more of a runner than Usain Bolt will ever be

I have physical disabilities which stop me from doing anything above a slow jog, but what have physical attributes got to do with anything when I know deep down I am the better runner.

I will expect to be awarded all the gold medals in future

Oh I feel honoured I've joined the deleted gang. No idea what I said mind, so might not be the last time!

PMSL. Same here on both counts. Grin

I probably said "whatever men say, they can't become women". Or something like that.

She’s not. She’s just saying stupid stuff to try to engage JKR.

This. Don't feed the Twitter troll.

OFFS

I thought we’d got over being deleted for speaking the sodding truth.

Clearly not!

Boiledbeetle · 24/01/2023 00:43

I think with this one because technically the law says I W is one thing and the same with RMW it's not abstract discussion as such.

I was trying to be careful to not mis gender and i didn't think i did, so i presume it was for another reason as i was replying to another poster who i have previously crossed paths with so I'm assuming it was something i said to that poster rather than IW.

Or i forgot and fucked up as this tablet always autocorrects to male versions of words. Sexist piece of crap it is.

MeanCanadianLady · 24/01/2023 00:55

DietCock · 24/01/2023 00:25

Clearly not!

I am not really upset about it anymore but it has changed my perspective on humanity greatly. I grew up reading books with themes like “Good always conquered over evil” or “there true will always prevail” and I guess those things aren’t always necessarily wrong but… evil and lies will certainly do a great deal of destruction before they are defeated and it’s quite possible that “good and truth” could take an entire life time to get their shit together!

MeanCanadianLady · 24/01/2023 00:56

@DietCock also diet cock. Love it! I think we all need to start doing inside joke usernames. 😂

You were replying to me so I'm assuming you mean me here?
Cross paths with, blimey, really?! I've only come across your name a few times and yes, we have differing views
Hardly crossed paths though, unless disagreeing with you is crossing paths now?!
You didn't say anything to me worthy of deletion but calling someone an arsehole and going on to misgender to boot, dunno why you think that would be left standing as it clearly goes against guidelines 😕

Hello again, Golfing!

What do you think about India's homophobia, as shown here?

We've already covered that India uses the word "transwomen" in posts, and just objected to Esther using it. While making a huge deal of Esther's race... You didn't comment on India claiming Esther owed her career to "woke" either. Confused

In this sentence, you acknowledge you have encountered Boiledbeetle.

Hardly crossed paths though, unless disagreeing with you is crossing paths now?!

What the gilded goldfish do you think "crossing paths" means?

It's idiomatic speech that means you have encountered someone! It's imagery to convey that sometimes you pass someone going somewhere, as you are on your way somewhere else.

Boiledbeetle · 24/01/2023 01:21

cross paths meaning

encounter or meet someone by chance.

unexpectedly come across somebody.

The idiom is used to express a general encounter or meeting with someone, especially when it was not expected.

Boiledbeetle · 24/01/2023 01:23

So sick of having to explain the meaning of simple words these days

Like woman, man,
