‘The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others.’

Fyodor Dostoevsky

'I'm a cross-dressing, penis-possessing, porn-making fetishist who doesn't understand why the author of books I read as a child isn't fine with me entering women's bathrooms at a kids' theme park and taking photos.'

Than freedom of speech and belief? Than the rights of women and girls to privacy, dignity and safety? Than irreversible procedures performed on vulnerable minors? Than elites and institutions trying to impose a quasi-religious ideology on the rest of society?

No.

@kasstl1 Fine, I'll throw in an exorcism, but it's that or coleslaw, just so you're warned.

Always with the legacy crap🙄. If there's an afterlife, you can be sure I still won't give a damn and I still won't believe men are women.

There is no 'living as a woman.'
There is only living while being a woman, or performing a male idea of what a woman is, while being a man.

The misrepresentation in certain sections of the media of what the UK Supreme Court's recent ruling actually means is outrageous.

The ruling clarified that women and girls have sex-based rights under British law, and that those rights haven't changed since women gained them.

Trans activist lobby groups lied about what the law said. They claimed trans-identified men were entitled to everything women were entitled to, under the law. This false interpretation, which removed sex-based rights from women and girls and gave trans-identified men additional rights, may have been imposed upon large sections of society, but it was always illegal, as countless legal experts and grassroots women's groups fought to have recognised.

The Supreme Court restored to women rights they'd lost in practice. Trans-identified men lost nothing in law, because they'd never had the rights they claimed they had. The media types now hyperventilating in print because trans people's rights have been 'reduced' are still lying. Nothing has been taken from trans-identified people except a false belief, and women have simply regained what they should have had all along.

"The media had all the evidence they needed, but chose to distort, obscure, and deflect because reality was politically inconvenient. They said Khelif was female. They were wrong. They said concerns were bigoted. They were wrong." - ✍️@SwipeWright

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.
