Dawson is making very little sense in this article, but the woman-hatred is very clear.

I read that article the other day.

Just another transwoman whose pronouns are me and I with a bunch of incoherent logic constructed to reinforce the me and I.

Given that it's all a whinges about the supreme court the stuff about passports is totally ridiculous. I mean if you change your sex on your passport you are choosing to open yourself up to problems travelling abroad. You can read all about this on the Foreign Office travel advice. It's not a new issue and known that is subject to political change, and beyond the control of the UK. And you need to be aware of this if you intend to travel.

Are Bratz dolls the ones with giant heads and drag-queen make-up?

'My view is that despite the law being very clear, actually, a few very determined transphobes have crawled their way to the heart of the law like maggots in an apple. '

The law is very clear, yes. Shame it took this long for it to be acknowledged that the feelings of men with Bratz dolls don’t take precedence over women’s rights.

Sure, but I don't think the dehumanising rhetoric is just deliberate rage farming, surely? To me that speaks of very deep seated prejudice.

Agreed. The other week we were germs, now we are maggots. The dehumanization is becoming more overt. Still, all our fault presumably.

That’s fair comment. Juno certainly has no respect for women so it’s unclear why Juno is so keen to identify as one.

Do what you like with your dolls to fit your bizarre as hell stereotypes of women but stay TF out of our changing rooms and sports. Cheers.

"While so far, nothing has changed in law, there’s sufficient confusion that lesbians are being challenged in Boston restrooms"

Boston Lincolnshire?

what is a restroom? Is it like a waiting room?

I think restrooms are toilets.

“I just want to live my life the way I always imagined it. I have become the version of myself I wanted to be when I was four. This is who I wanted to be. I wear what I want, and eat what I want. I have two dogs and spend my money on expensive cocktails and rare Bratz dolls from 2001”

Gosh… And he couldn’t do that as a man?

And don’t forget being a male person writing teen novels featuring pedofilic ‘hook up’ fantasies, and objectifying children’s bodies with horrendous tropish stereotypes about girls. From a ex-primary school teacher and PHSE teacher at that!

I wonder if those people celebrating Dawson’s books ever think about that and think about a male primary school PHSE teacher writing pornography aimed at teens but focusing on male porn fantasies supposedly written by a ‘woman’?

Operation: Let them speak!

Thatsrhesummeroverthen · 10/06/2025 09:00

I’m not trying to make a statement about what a woman is, I just want to be one
if only it were so simple. How can you become a woman, if it's not possible to define this?
(and of course, once you can define it you can see it isn't possible to become one!)

Codlingmoths · 10/06/2025 09:01

I read a Juno book once before I knew who Juno was. That’s how I learnt who Juno was as you could tell from the book. Juno would write quite decent fiction if Juno could only leave out the women hating horrible transphobes are endangering delicate vulnerable caring traumatised transwomen who just want to help people as a key theme.

Yep, the ones that made me a really mean mummy as I wouldn't buy for my girls cos they made Barbies look like 16th century nuns in comparison with their horrible sex doll like visages and proportions.
Kinda like how these men fetishize women's bodies really...

Apologies for derailing but here’s another mediocre, self obsessed man, the fragrant Victoria McCloud, talking even more nonsense -

'a National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children report to a Scottish parliamentary committee said the dolls were sexualising young girls, criticising the way they were dressed. The American Psychological Association has also condemned the dolls for being "dressed in sexualised clothing such as miniskirts, fishnet stockings and feather boas it is worrisome when dolls designed specifically for four to eight-year-olds are associated with an objectified adult sexuality".

Why are posters referring to this person as a "he"? She is a fully transitioned woman.

'Male sex fantasy tropes are present throughout. The book opens inside St Agnes, an all-girls’ boarding school where the girls presented are not only sexually active, but their bodies are described as ridden with STIs. We have a fair idea, then, what to expect, and none of it is wholesome. The repeated references to ‘sleepovers’ alluding to sexual happenings between teenage girls read as titillation material for depraved middle-aged men and the least useful portrayal of their sexuality for nascent teens.
But the school is not an all-girls’ school, for the protagonist, Alice, is a “transgender girl”, in other words a boy who identifies as a girl, albeit one that does not board. This being the case, it is nauseating that another reductive stereotype of girls’ relationships, that of the ‘girly cat fight,’ is introduced. The first time we see Alice the Head is reprimanding him, for slapping a girl. Portraying it as a little slap detracts from the sex-based reality of a boy hitting a girl.'

'Alice says: “The fact I exist is enough. The fact I’m young is a bonus. I’m a blow-up doll.” Added to this Alice boasts about his “perky little boobs.” These views can only be cultivated in a porn saturated society, as can the circumstances around Alice’s disturbing confession that he, legally still a child, is having “an active, app-based sex life… with married men from outlying commuter towns,” facilitated by “hook-up culture”.
Wonderland progresses to Alice searching through his mother’s wardrobe for dresses and his discovery of her vibrator, leading him to speculate about the state of his parents’ sex life.
Not only is there hate-filled invective towards “fucking TERFS,” there is also a dose of porn-inspired delusion. Neve, a biological girl with whom Alice has a final sexual encounter, tells Alice that she is a lesbian that “fucks girls.” Furthermore there is a smattering of the word ‘fascist.’'

The only way to be a woman is to be born female and survive to adulthood. Hope this helps.

what is a 'fully transitioned woman'?

'Books that use phrases like “let them use your body and get fucked both ends like a little piggy,” and “You’re a fucking cum slut. Worthless tranny whore” should not be recommended to children,'

Wonderland, stocked in the teen section of libraries and in secondary schools.
