Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

What is in the water this week?! Glinner now making a mockery of the cause

I know I know I should just get off twitter but this week is just back to back GC news and not in a good way.

If you haven't seen, Glinner posted a video mocking Green Leader Zack Polanski, understandable plenty of material for a comedy writer there, but the video is so unhinged and unfunny.

Some speculating Graham was drunk when he made it but it's been 24 hours and he's left it up so maybe not.

I feel like we are finally gaining real ground in this fight and this makes GCs look like a bunch of lunatics.

I know there is no formal hierarchy but like it or not, for better and worse, we do have public faces and 'spokespeople' for this fight and this is just embarrassing.

I just feel so helpless because there can't be any accountability for this kind of thing but my God.

Thanks for listening to my rant, just been a very frustrating week.

I wasn't calling Linehan et al far-right. What I was doing very badly is trying to explain that I get frustrated that because of the methods that Linehan, Davies etc employ, they get accused of being far right.
Those far-right voices that I am sick of hearing like Hopkins, Walsh, Fox, who do voice quite strong, offensive rhetoric, (not just about trans ideology) do the cause of the moderates, those of us who just believe in biology, no good. Those other, less conventional, stronger personalities then end up being tarnished and really, by extension, make the rest of us look like lunatics.

The three you mention may believe that humans can't change sex but I wouldn't class them as gender critical

The key thing to understand about the far right accusation is it is not based on anything anyone is doing. It's a deliberate attempt to cast mud and try to stop people from listening to GC voices. One that's very much rooted in US politics I strongly suspect.

Because I have a name that frequently gets spelled incorrectly and it doesn't bother me one iota.

It's not about you though, is it? It's about correcting a mistake that you made in a thread on a public forum. Accuracy matters, as does the courtesy of spelling people's names correctly. There is nothing to stop you simply acknowledging what is, no doubt, a common error and moving on.
Saying hi to everyone who spells Keir (Starmer) 'Kier' too😘

Quite, and in this particular mis spelling, I always assume it is trying to reduce her to the 80s stereotype of a blonde Essex girl, and not a sportswoman who's been through a lifetime of drug cheats and suffered accordingly, and knows whereof she speaks.

I understand. Ignoring the men, it's terribly important that women speak in gentle, kind tones, are never shrill, show understanding and are always kind.
What was it that Rebecca West said over 100 years ago?

"I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat"

Sadly women are still seen in this way today.
