The most out to lunch headlines about women's sex based rights / gender critical feminism

[IwantToRetire]

Just thought it might be interesting to compile a list of all the really strange, misleading, biased headlines about women's sex based rights / gender critical feminism.

Could be depressing or could be something to look back on an laugh.

Right side of history.

University academics have compared a feminist conference promoting women’s rights on campus to “enabling eugenics”.

Don’t have time to find a link, but surely Nicola Sturgeon saying that people who are against self-id are homophobic, misogynist and probably racist

I like this one - it's quite poetic.

"Nicola Sturgeon accused of acting like a 'Poundland Trump' surrounded by 'supine lickspittles'"

First Minister accused of being ‘utterly shameful’ as she says those against self-ID are also ‘misogynist, homophobic, possibly racist’

Tampons offered in men’s toilets at Labour-run Welsh Parliament

I wish I hadn't read that, it's made me really cross. What a load of tripe!

"At the heart of ‘gender critical’ views is the repeated claim that ‘sex cannot be changed’ – which certainly isn’t being stated as a neutral or objective observation or fact by them. It is said to be deliberately offensive and disrespectful to trans people. But it’s also just false."

The author goes on to say "My sex characteristics have changed to a large degree, such as hair growth, fat distribution..." But that's NOT ACTUALLY CHANGING SEX NOW, IS IT, YOU TWERP?!

Outrage over transphobic leaflets distributed outside Celtic Park

In a worrying development for the trans community and for the world of inclusive football, anti-trans campaigners distributed leaflets outside of Celtic Park, home of the famous Scottish football club, a few days ago.

The leaflets urged people to sign a petition calling for the repeal of the Gender Recognition Act of 2004, claiming that single-sex spaces are no longer safe if trans women are allowed in them.

But what this author most feared did actually happen - so imagine how twitted the twerp felt!

Fight the Right: protest the speaking tour of right-wing UK transphobe Kellie-Jay Keen

Keen is on a mission to build links between the far-right and anti-trans feminist activists.

The far-right are using transphobia to build support, and activists like Keen aim to link up the far-right with anti-trans feminist groups.

Keen is part of the 'Hands Across the Aisle Coalition', which aims to connect anti-trans radical feminists with conservative Christian anti-LGBT groups.
