Wait - are you saying I should have hired legal, data protection and IT experts when putting this together? OMG, I feel like such a fool, but it’s my very first time, so I just set it up on my own without telling anyone. And to cap it all, I’ve forgotten the password.

Labour could have done the right thing - too late to avoid alienating a lot of female voters, true - but they could have told the rabid misogynists in their ranks, ‘the Supreme Court’s ruled, the law’s clear and we must follow it.’ But no. The gender maniacs remain in charge.

The only people who consider it 'anti-feminist' to point out that a woman is a woman by virtue of her biology are those who think female-specific anatomy or bodily functions are inferior in some way, that bearing young is a lowly, worthless occupation, or that misogynist social stereotypes are a worthier measure of who's a real woman.

Possessing the equipment for egg production should neither tie you to any particular destiny, nor diminish the human being who has it; the female reproductive system is neither shameful nor lesser, but it's certainly treated that way in too many parts of the world. Indeed, it's treated that way by plenty of misogynists in supposedly liberal democracies, which might partially explain why so many young women have come to believe that, if they want to be accorded full personhood rather than becoming a pornified sex object, they'll only be able to do it by erasing all physical signs of femaleness. The problem is not their anatomy, it's the society, or indeed the family, that made them feel that way.

Pretending sex differences don't matter does nothing to advance the lot of women and girls. Promoting the idea that men can become women by performing their idea of what a woman is - which, funnily enough, often turns out to be a pornified sex object - does not liberate women and girls. The attempt to redefine the word 'woman' by dismissing female biology benefits only the men who've been eagerly helping themselves to women's protected spaces, sport, opportunities and honours - or, in the Fox Batterer's case, who've jumped eagerly onto the movement's coattails because they're spotlight addicts and believe they'll go down in history as Genderism's Gandhi.

A woman is an adult human whose body is organised to produce large gametes. One easy way to tell if you're a woman is to ask yourself: have I ever produced sperm? If, as in your case, the answer is 'yes', you are a surgically altered man enacting a male idea of femaleness.

Confused by the bloody right arms. Did they stop on the way to deliver a herd of calves?

Denying women the right to assemble without men is a clear violation of women's human rights.

@bindelj There is no more oppressed person on this planet than an angry white male newsreader who's milked his trans status for all it's worth and still hasn't been given his own talk show, Julie.

India, you aren't part of any group of women, let alone persecuted ones. You're a member of a sub-set of men who've got used to being pandered to by certain politicians, law-enforcement and elite institutions, and you're throwing a mantrum because you're scared the jig is up.

Don't be gaslit into thinking this is about toilets. @carla_denyer doesn't think women deserve ANY male-free spaces: rape crisis centres, hospital wards, homeless shelters, domestic abuse refuges, prison cells or changing rooms, no matter how vulnerable or traumatised the women.

Funny, isn’t it, how women who’ve been raped or beaten are accused of ‘weaponising’ their trauma when they ask for male-free spaces, but trans-identified men who claim using the Gents has a higher mortality rate than armed combat are met with credulity and simpering concern.

Preventing women and girls from accessing their bathrooms will totally dispel the idea that your movement contains a lot of very angry, potentially unbalanced men who're currently displaying classic symptoms of narcissistic rage.

🙄I'm married to a man, George. I do not hate men. I simply live in reality where men - however they identify - commit 98% of sexual assaults, and 88% of victims are female. Trans-identified men are no less likely than other kinds of men to pose a risk to women or girls.

I hate to point this out*, but accusing me of hating men because I don't think trans women should be given access to all women-only spaces does rather suggest that (in spite of your feverish assertions to the contrary) you're well aware that these are, in fact, men.

*I don't.

What does he think a cheek swab tests for? Presence of a bra?

If I'd known how much I'd enrage embittered misogynists by smoking a cigar, I'd have had six.

How it started -> how it's going

It isn’t @rosieduffield’s or any woman’s fault if a trans-identified man is upset because the Supreme Court told him he’s not a woman. Sections of the media that have been reassuring him he became a woman the moment he said he was one could do with some self reflection, though.

Every time you think @indiawilloughby can't go any lower he hits a deeper layer of subsoil. Rapists and woman-killers tend not to 'love' legal restrictions on where and how they can access vulnerable females. If you're capable of feeling shame, India, now would be the moment.
