“My removal from the international women’s day event by the police.

I had been asking women’s organisations whether their services were for women only. This caused alarm and distress and the venue, claimed to be privately owned when it’s owned by the council, asked me to leave for asking questions.

I have footage of every interaction that I will upload later so you can see what those questions were and you can judge for yourself.”

Why are we still arguing about this nonsense men are men - the law says so women say so we need to move on there are bigger fish to fry the 51% have got this one!

This is a good reminder for me.

“When one group’s ‘rights’ require another group to surrender privacy, fairness, or conscience, the conflict is no longer about equality. It is about power.”

”The smartest move activists made was rhetorical: they stopped arguing for contested demands and started calling them “rights.” After that, dissent could be recoded as cruelty, and ordinary objections could be treated as moral failure.”

Female spaces were not built out of bigotry. They were built because sex differences are real, and privacy, safety, and fairness matter. Calling those boundaries hateful does not refute them. It just bullies people into silence.

A demand for equality says: leave me free. A demand for compliance says: you must affirm, yield, and rearrange your world around me. Too much of this debate is presented as the first when it is plainly the second.

I don't think Wahey's mate says 'loads' as per transcript. He's asked 'do you go into women's spaces?' and he replies 'I use womens loos'. I know it doesn't make a difference 'use womens loads' 'use womens loos', except for fact that Wahey is holding the line/lie that he doesn't go into women's spaces.

If you never accessed female spaces even if you were self denying access, the answer to that question would start with 'No'. It could be 'No, I'm a man' or even 'No, I really do want to use that space as I feel I'm a woman, but others don't see me that way'

I don't think Wahey's mate says 'loads' as per transcript. He's asked 'do you go into women's spaces?' and he replies 'I use womens loos'.

I thought so too at first but Edge of Matrix guy replies, "You use women's loads. Right."

Even though Edge of Matrix guy was right there so I should not have reason to doubt him, I also listened to the video several times turning up the volume each time. It was only when it was much louder that I could hear that he was saying, "loads" not "loos".

The YouTube automatic transcript, screenshot by Shedmistress · 22 March 2026 08:39, analysed his speech as "loads" because it is probably more reliable than the ear and brain of a human who is attending to the YT audio filtered through speakers plus it is also unhampered by a heavy weight of prediction based on context.

Phonemic transcription:
Big Red Bloke says /'ləʊz/ instead of /'ləʊdz/

  • He misses out the /d/ sound

Effect of listener prediction:
What we are likely to predict him saying in this context is "loos" /'lu:z/

In combination:
Imprecise pronunciation + Prediction = on first listening it is very easy to hear /'lu:z/ ("loos") instead of "loads".

(Trust me, I was a Speech & Language Therapist, was trained to do this sort of thing and did it for a living 🙏)

I suppose because it's respectful to use a person's preferred pronouns? I've gone through phases of having very short, buzzed hair and I rarely dress in a stereotypically feminine way but even then I would not want to be referred to as he/him/they/them rather than she/her because I am she/her/female, both biologically and as an identity.

It's not a matter of respect to use someone's "preferred pronouns".

Preferred pronouns = coercive control

Preferred pronouns only exist inside the head of a controlling narcissist.
When people are face to face we all use the first or second person singular - "I" or "you". We only use the 3rd person singular or plural when someone is not present or we are relating something a third party did or said.
The only people who want to control what pronouns someone else uses in their absence /when referring to them are self-absorbed narcissists, usually of the male variety.

The bloke in question does not have a female gender identity anyway even if that as a concept existed. He is a bloke in a hoodie.

He is a bloke in a hoodie.

M'Lady, ladies and gentleman of the Jury, I would draw your attention to Exhibit A, the "hoodie" in question.

Please observe the delicate, feminine appearance of the arms of said "hoodie", embroidered, or perhaps appliquéd, with garlands of an incontrovertibly womanly, floral decoration.

Thus we can deduce that the alleged "bloke in a hoodie" is in fact demonstrating possession of a perfectly exquisite female gender identity!

How cruel, how viciously defamatory and perhaps bitterly envious, to suggest for one moment that this beautiful, fragile soul, "does not have a female gender identity anyway even if that as a concept existed."

Use whatever pronouns you want in your own speech but hands off my free speech. I'll say what I see and what I experience thanks.

That's part of MY inner identity. Telling the truth as I see it.

As an amateur potter, I'd assumed that he'd put his elbow in some slip before he left the basement house. Must get my eyes tested. Definitely a bird.

The idea that anyone could reasonably look at that bloke and say “yes, you should absolutely be using the female only facilities “ is unfuckingbelievable. The fact that possible poor mental health is being used to justify him using those facilties is even worse.

This.

This video from Amy Sousa seems pertinent here.

https://x.com/knownheretic/status/2035857970358272048?s=46

Particularly the comment about if one boundary has been violated by someone why should we trust that person. Just showing they are willing to violate one boundary is a sign we shouldn’t trust that person.

I consider this starts at language as an initial boundary violation.

Amy E. Sousa, MA Depth Psychology (@KnownHeretic) on X

Going into our head to try to figure out why a man has violated our boundaries dissociates us from our ability to be responsive to our gut instincts.

If someone doesn’t believe that a person can change sex, why is it respectful for them to accede to a demand from an individual’s personal identity demands to contradict the established English language conventions?

Language is sex based. Not gender based. Just like single sex provisions are sex based and not gender based.

There is also an issue that there is direct harm caused to female people when male people are referred to as female people. There are individual safeguarding issues where if someone is referring to a male person as ‘she’ in a conversation then the other people in the conversation are receiving the message that person being referred to is female when they are not. This preconditions or reinforces them to make decisions based on another person’s language believing that description to be accurate.

Even here on this thread you have referred to your friend as ‘she’ which leads people to believe that ‘she’ is female if they didn’t read your other posts. Even then, some
people will receive the signal to their brain that this is a female person every time you use the word ‘she’ or ‘her’. Because we are people communicating in a language that has strict rules about pronoun usage.

Just because a group of people declare that they seek to destabilise the language through what amounts to force (because there is no societal consensus despite some people believing there is) doesn’t mean that the meanings have actually changed. It does mean that a group has coercively repurposed words to suit themselves and have used emotionally manipulative tactics to convince some other people to allow them.

I don’t believe there is anything ‘respectful’ in a male person demanding to be treated as if their subjective reality is the universal reality when there is no fucking way that it is materially real. That male person’s subjective reality is based on philosophical belief and theory and not on materially real and proven concepts.

A group of men have gained significant policy changes also by using some people’s need to believe that it is ‘respectful’ to use that demanded language. They have publicly on documents and video footage said that because society must think they are female due to language being used, it is cruel that policy and law treat them as if they are male. How is that action one of respect?

Using demanded wrong sex language for a person is not harmless either on an individual or a collective basis. It is disrespectful for a group of male people to have ever used female language to describe themselves in the first place.

Absolutely perfectly put.
