@dianecarolroy1 @ottawalady @svphillimore @terrafically How do I tell whether my innate gender is male, female, neither or both? Please explain, as nobody has ever been able to clarify this for me.

@dianecarolroy1 @ottawalady @svphillimore @terrafically I've literally never been told how I can tell whether my gender identity is male, female, both or neither, which is why I'm asking you to explain.

@dianecarolroy1 @ottawalady @svphillimore @terrafically OK, could you quote the explanation for me?

@dianecarolroy1 @ottawalady @svphillimore @terrafically It's worth a shot, surely? Just explain how a person knows whether their gender identity is male, female, both or neither. We know it can change (genderflux) or be absent (agender) too. How do we tell which one we have? I hear it's not about sex stereotypes, so what is it?

Women are organising. Now is the time for every political party to decide whether it wishes to protect the rights of 51% of the population, or continue to pander to gender activists.

It's only February, but this will take some beating at the 2025 Batshit Take of the Year Awards.

"It's women's fault if trans-identified men commit sexual assault in previously women-only spaces, because by saying that's a thing that happens, women put the idea in men's heads."

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Upton's a man
And you're a bloke, too.

This 'why do you care about a tiny fraction of the population?' line is, and always was, utterly ridiculous.

Gender ideology has undermined freedom of speech, scientific truth, gay rights, and women's and girls' safety, privacy and dignity. It's also caused irreparable physical damage to vulnerable kids.

Nobody voted for it, the vast majority of people disagree with it, yet it has been imposed, top down, by politicians, healthcare bodies, academia, sections of the media, celebrities and even the police. Its activists have threatened and enacted violence on those who've dared oppose it. People have been defamed and discriminated against for questioning it. Jobs have been lost and lives have been ruined, all for the crime of knowing that sex is real and matters.

When the smoke clears, it will be only too evident that this was never about a so-called vulnerable minority, notwithstanding the fact that some very vulnerable people have been harmed. The power dynamics underpinning our society have been reinforced, not dismantled. The loudest voices throughout this entire fiasco have been people insulated from consequences by their wealth and/or status. They aren't likely to find themselves locked in a prison cell with a 6'4" rapist who's decided his name's now Dolores. They don't need state-funded rape crisis centres, nor do they ever frequent high street changing rooms. They simper from talk show sofas about those nasty far-right bigots who don't want penises swinging around the girls' showers, secure in the knowledge that their private pool remains the safe place it always was.

Those who've benefited most from gender identity ideology are men, both trans-identified and not. Some have been rewarded for having a cross-dressing kink by access to all spaces previously reserved for women. Others have parlayed their delicious new victim status into an excuse to threaten, assault and harass women. Non-trans-identified leftybros have found a magnificent platform from which to display their own impeccably progressive credentials, by jeering and sneering at the needs of women and girls, all while patting themselves on the back for giving away rights that aren't theirs.

The actual victims in this mess have been women and children, especially the most vulnerable, gay people who've resisted the movement and paid a horrible price, and regular people working in environments where one misplaced pronoun could see you vilified or constructively dismissed. Do not tell me this is about a tiny minority. This movement has impacted society in disastrous ways, and if you had any sense, you'd be quietly deleting every trace of activist mantras, ad hominem attacks, false equivalence and circular arguments from your X feeds, because the day is fast approaching when you'll want to pretend you always saw through the craziness and never believed it for a second.

Two new Canadian reviews of the evidence for puberty blockers and cross sex hormones have been published.

Exactly like Cass, they found 'very low confirmatory evidence of any substantive change in gender dysphoria, depression or overall health.'

@mcleaver This scandal will be studied to death in years to come. An ideology spawned in academia met greedy, unethical medics, while a tidal wave of activists, politicians, corporations and self-serving celebs glamourised and normalised irreparable harm to minors.

The number of men who don't see women as fully human can be measured by their indifference to trans-identified males invading women's spaces. 'What's the harm?' they shrug. 'Who's it hurting?'
Women. It's hurting women. And the essence of misogyny is thinking that doesn't count.

The details emerging about what the rape gangs (why call them 'grooming' gangs? It's like calling those who stab people to death 'knife owners') did to girls in Rotherham are downright horrific. The allegations of possible police corruption in the case are almost beyond belief.

I don't think I've ever come across such a clear cut case of nominative determinism.

'Where's the evidence trans-identified men ever harm women?'

'No sexual predator would EVER dress as a woman to get access to victims.'

'Only bigots claim cross-dressing can be a fetish.'

May 2025 be the year we get men out of female prisons, sports and single-sex spaces 🙏

@ethanlesabre @midwesternmom3 @invariant1917 @hazelappleyard_ A woman is an adult human whose body is organised to produce large gametes.

@invariant1917 @ethanlesabre @midwesternmom3 @hazelappleyard_ There's nothing arbitrary about sex classes, which are scientifically observable and verifiable. Only by recognising the well-evidenced differences between the two sexes (speed, size, strength, patterns of criminality) can women's and girls' rights be defended.

That thing that never happens has happened again. https://nypost.com/2024/12/29/us-news/transgender-inmate-sexually-assaulted-cellmate-at-womens-prison-suit/

Afghan women are as deserving of respect, autonomy and dignity as every other woman in the world. The lack of meaningful reprisals for the flagrant human rights abuses visited upon Afghan women by the Taliban shames the international community.

Her ego requires her signature bill to have been opposed by something she considers a worthy adversary, rather than members of the public who don’t want cross-dressing men running rape crisis centres. Someone really should give her ‘The Women Who Wouldn’t Wheesht’ for Christmas.

Never forget: gender identity isn't about sex stereotypes, but playing around with your hair proves you're not a man.
