Aren’t the front pages and headlines glorious!

[SameyMcNameChange]

I know there is a fair amount of bandwagon jumping, but it feels like the newspapers have finally read the room and realised that the SC ruling is welcomed by FAR more people than it disappoints. And so the front pages have smiling faces and headlines that would never have been published before.

Even, for example, the Metro which has had a pretty shocking record before has a pretty clear headline and a picture of smiling women.

Yes, but every paper is reporting on this item of news. Why wouldn't the DM report on it?
And do you really think that the women on this board need to have the British media and their political slants explained to them?

Yes - raped!

The word ''raped" precisely captures the feeling that I felt when I heard about the courts decision as it exactly captures the feeling of my self-autonomy being taken away from me by force just like it did when I was raped.

Given that a bunch of people have been lauding the DM for their support of the cause...yup. Seems like they do.

Telling women what news sources they should or shouldn't read isn't really feminist either. Maybe if the Guardian and the BBC wouldn't be so biased we wouldn't need other outlets to report factually on this topic.
The SNP was pretty fond of Hitler back in the time, funny how that is never brought up by the people who berate women for linking to DM articles.

I'm not telling anyone what to read. I'm pointing out that it should be read with a grain of salt.

I don't think comparing a political party with a newspaper is particularly apposite.

From what you've said I'd expect you to support the ruling, which means that women should be less likely in future to suffer this secondary abuse.

How will the SC Ruling take away your self autonomy? What is it that you were free to do before the ruling that you won't be doing now?

I feel that this bears repetition:

Nobody, absolutely nobody, is in the wilderness. This ruling hasn't given or taken away anything but has just clarified what the law is and always has been.

Plenty of people in responsible positions have broken the law in detriment to women and girls. Why aren't you outraged at that instead?

Why do you keep banging on about the Daily Mail? I can't see a single link to that paper in this thread. Lots to the Times, a few to the Telegraph and even one or two to the Guardian and BBC.

I totally agree with you

Unfortunately, this post was in reply to a pp who said that people “feel like they’ve been raped”. This was in response to hearing the SC judgement. There was no actual rape, or physical threat (unlike the death threats that FWS are currently living with). So it was hyperbole and in poor taste. Those who have been sexually assaulted or raped would find this assertion intolerable.

Get it now?

I could make a guess at the answer to this...

Shouldn't you be critical of everything you read no matter what media outlet?

Because it's all they've got, poor dears.

Thanks for posting this. I saw Susan Smith post this on another thread. People should realise that there are Trans Terrorists within the wider trans movement which should be condemned. It’s been allowed to continue for too long.

It's that fecking portal again. We just jumped back by about 6 years, possibly more.

TBH when the main stream media has been suppressing or distorting stories so that most of the population are not aware of how much trans ideology has been embedded into public policy by stealth (and mid-sold) then people are angry about the lack of transparency. In that climate there’s generally relief when any paper posts basic facts - there’s discussion on this thread or another about how the BBC has just not covered the SC ruling at all. I was a guardian reader but they’ve been hopeless on this and unable to cover both sides of this important debate in an even handed way. So if both my natural media sources won’t give information I’m stuck with the DM which is uncomfortable for me for sure.

But gender isn’t a political party issue - there’s best coverage is coming from the Communists and the Morning Star. So get your head around that: Right Wing Bigots = Communists. Just like 2+2=5 and We have always been at War with Eastasia.

Lastly you do realise this thread title is Satire don’t you?

Well thank you for that. I’d never have managed that analysis by myself. Being a mother never means that we are underestimated or patronised.

You brought up Hitler. Why do you have a problem with someone giving you an alternative example to you point?

You read all that and ask me why I am outraged?

What the fuck is wrong with you?

You must have missed the bit where I said that I have been ( physically) raped. I was not using hyperbole as there was no exaggeration. The physical sensation upon hearing the ruling and when I was physically raped as a child were exactly the same. That same horrible stomach churning, vertigo inducing, brain freezing, feeling in the pit of the stomach. The word 'raped' therefore was not in poor taste as anyone who has been actually sexually assaulted or raped would know exactly how I felt and hopefully be able to empathise.

Jesus mate

true colours showing. You crack on. It’s great that readers get to fully see the depth and breadth of your empathy vacuum for women

you don’t see us as real people, do you?

Why are you so upset at this ruling? How does it negatively affect you? Trans people are still protected by the Equality Act. The GRA hasn't been changed. This ruling is all about protection for women. In what way does protecting women cause you harm?

Fuck me

tone deaf much?

#OperationLetThemSpeak

That must have been horrible for you.
but if you felt that, presumably you would understand that if the judgment had gone the other way many, many women would have felt the same but in their case directly linked to the trauma of their own rape?
