Patriarchy : women should do the washing up.
Gender Critical : both sexes can do the washing up
TRAs : the member of either sex who does the washing up is the woman
I was just in M&S in my lunch hour and a customer asked me for help.
I explained with a nice smile, that I didnβt work there, expecting that to be the end of it.
He didnβt believe me & went off claiming he was reporting me to my line manager.
Worried Iβll get sacked now. π
How did we get to a place where women & girls are being told with a straight face that they shouldnβt be upset if strangers expose their penises to them in changing rooms because it upsets the person with the penis if they do?
And this is by people who claim to be compassionate.
Heads up to Owen Jones.
If you stopped chanting βtranswomen are womenβ at every opportunityβ no one would have to βcruellyβ point out that they are not.
Instead of pretending JK Rowling hates & wants to harm trans people, you could take the pain out of it by accepting the far more feasible explanation
She thinks biological sex is real & relevant as do most people.
And they don't hate trans people either.

Reply from an MP this morning who was pictured with a Stonewall con therapy banner - βwasnβt aware of any of this, will read the Cass interim report, was grabbed in the lobby, they were trying to get as many MPs as poss, thought it was anti bigotry, happy to have a meetingβ Phew.

Youβre the bad person.β
A male bodied police officer identifies as female 3 days of the week & male 3 days. Everyone must remember to change pronouns for them and they are allowed to search women on she days & men on men days regardless of how the person being searched feels.

Remember what JK Rowling tweeted at the Westboro Baptist Church when they got all homophobic over Dumbledore being gay & the suggestion of him marrying a man.
Just one of many times when JK Rowling came out fighting for the LGBT.
Weird how we are always asked to PROVE with statistics that males present a threat to us in female spaces.
And yet it is simply accepted without evidence that males present a threat to males who identify as female in male spaces.
'Because we focus so much on cars, we don't focus on bus routes or trains.'

OHβs cousin told her ex husband she was taking their child on a boat trip to see puffins.
He gave her a prolonged pompous lecture about how puffins were mythical birds and the only place she would see them in the physical world was on book covers.
Heβs a solicitor.
Did you know I joined the Labour Party in 1983 and Iβm not voting for them because they elevate the feelings of an egotist like you over a decent MP like Rosie Duffield?

Remeber Stella Creasys response to a Mum complaining about a male student masturbating in sight of her 13 yr old daughter in a girls changing room.
SC said she was concerned for the welfare of the male βchildβ whose age was not mentioned.
The girl she described as a βpersonβ.
A bigot is someone who cannot tolerate other people having different views.
So instead of calling me a bigot for disagreeing with you, explain exactly what makes a male identifying as a woman an actual woman and I will listen patiently to your argument.
#LGBWithoutTheT
When I was in secondary school there were three lesbians including me.
Iβm the only one left. The other two both killed themselves before the age of 17.
There never was no LGBT crusade for remembering dead lesbians.
Like all women we are expected to shut up and make the tea.
Iβve never understood this assumption that women arenβt entitled to a opinion on whether males who disassociate from manhood or have gender dysphoria have an automatic right to access womens spaces
Where does it come from if not a belief that we arenβt equal & worthy of respect?
What I find difficult to understand is why people who claim to be feminists would look at someone like my elderly gran who only let 1 male see her undressed in her entire life, or a girl from a religious community, or sexual abuse survivor and say "You can't have boundaries" /1
India Willoughby telling Martina Navratilova to stay in her lane whilst driving the wrong way up the dual carriageway of womenβs rights with no MOT or insurance.
@IndiaWilloughby
And what is my lane? If I stayed in my lane you would have neve heard of me. So respectfully- GTFOOHβ¦ you just told me to stick to tennis- automatic blockβ¦
When people know what causes them distress & they seek to avoid it, itβs generally called βself careβ.
Except for women.
For women thatβs called βweaponising their traumaβ.
I found an old Pink Paper from about 2009.
It had about 3 mentions of trans in the whole paper & the dating listings had a separate section for them. They werenβt in with the lesbians.
This idea that transwomen have always been in womens spaces & nothing has changed is lies.
@LilySimpson1312
I used to call transwomen women because βwhat does it cost to be polite? Why unnecessarily upset people?β
Then it was βif you ask for people not to get their dicks out in womens spaces, itβs body shaming women because transwomen are women.
Then I stopped. It was costing a lot.
People are asking me as a lesbian, when βPride Marchβ became a Pride month.
The answer is when the corporate funding hit the level that it couldnβt be spent in a day and people started earning a living from it.
That school in Essex that changed its house name from JK Rowling to Dame Kelly Holmes because of JK Rowlingβs belief in biological sex and womenβs rights.
They didnβt bother finding out whether Dame Kelly Holmes has the same beliefs before going to press? Lol.
The nice old guy at the top of my Mumβs street died today. He had 7 kids & his wife died young
One night he called them all in from playing in the back garden, bathed them & put them to bed. An hour later 2 more turned up
He had accidentally put 2 kids to bed that werenβt his.
Being a woman, Iβve been shamed for my a period, for developing breasts, for every pound I ever put on it weight, for the way I dress, for being βunladylikeβ, for loving women, for the menopause.
Youβre mad if you think you can shame me into silence for wanting single sex loos.
A summary of the Owen Jones interview with Judith Butler for those who canβt stand to watch.
OJβs questions are designed to elicit from Butler the sort of statements a self described βcis manβ canβt advance without being challenged for privilege.
He misuses Butler as a 1/
At the age of 10, Lena Zavaroni was the youngest person ever to have a top 10 album.
Her album was entitled βMa, heβs making eyes at me.β
She was 10 years old.
At age 13 she developed anorexia nervosa, dying at the age of 35 after surgery carried out to βcure depressionβ.
@stonewalluk
RIP to these poor guys. What happened to them was evil.
Iβm a lesbian. If anyone calls me LGBT plus when Iβm dead Iβll come back and haunt them.
Coming from the far north Iβm trying to imagine wearing a pronoun badge with βshe/herβ on it.
All I can think of is it would take less than 10 seconds for someone to ask if my other tit was called βhe/him.β
Astonishing to see a public lawyer not appreciating that even immutable rights can clash with other peopleβs immutable rights.
And balancing them is what Courts & Conventions & Tribunals do day in day out.
Blocked by Stonewall for asking whether an aromantic threw the first brick at the Stonewall riots.
Fighting for their right to love nobody of their choice.
They really have disappeared up their own jacksies.
Remembering when the Court was asked to make Linda Bellos remove her suffragette badge when giving evidence because the trans prosecutor found it βoffensive.β
These persecutors couldnβt be more obvious in their hatred for women and their rights.
Every accusation, every article that accuses JK Rowling of being transphobic is actually about her not being transcentric.
Not centring trans people in every issue, making them the only group whoβs interests & vulnerability matters.
Her striving for balance is not a failing.
Lesbians of my age, we were there on the picket lines & demo's, at the peace camps, outside the embassies.
Now we are recast as right wing Christians because Billy f*cking Bragg gets to toss a moral coin in the air to decide who is on the side of the angels & who to demonise.
I went to buy a calendar today.
All that was left to choose from was βTom Daleyβs Year in Swimwearβ or βSteam Trains of Great Britainβ
I am currently staring at an authentic Kirklees Light Steamer traversing the South Pennine Valley.
And thatβs not a euphemism.
Iβve never understood why the police & CPS, both who are required to understand the criminal law, went to Stonewall, a bunch of non lawyers, a partisan pressure group, a bunch of self interested lobbyists, to tell them what the law was.
And paid them for it.
It makes no sense.
Like when Eddie Izzard convinced the world that it was 13 year old girls who were scary & threatening to him when they walked in & found him in the womens public toilet.
Never the other way around.
@janeyjstarling
I look for the heart. I found only hatred & prejudice to other women.
I looked for the care. There was none. Just incorrect assertions & bad takes presented as objective fact.
I looked for the compassion. & found only dβck pandering & indifference to female trauma.
Be better.
None of them can explain why transwomen supposedly have βa human rightβ to facilities according to their gender but itβs a hate crime for women to demand facilities according to their sex.
Despite their knuckle dragging, woman hating, virtue signalling,
None of them can answer.
Awkward pause. He knows they arenβt.
Not the answer he was hoping for & one that shows she really hasnβt got the foggiest.
Sheβs so far from having her finger on the pulse of UK feminism that she might as well be holding the dead hand of Foucault.
βI wear flat shoes. I have terrible bunions.
Is someone going to tell me you have to wear high heels for two years to live as a womanβ
Stella Creasy.
No hun. No one is going to tell you that. You are the only one ridiculous enough to make that suggestion with a straight face.
Stonewall got the police to record the sex of offenders as their self identified gender and then told
women they couldnβt prove statistically that males who identified as women posed a criminal threat to them.

Homosexual people are entitled to an opinion on what homosexual means.
Women are entitled to an opinion on what woman means.
Men are not there to give out and then police the distribution of everyone elseβs rights like some UN task force.
@SWR666
Yes, as a lesbian, sexually rejecting someone with a penis is simply hateful and I ought to be vilified without any one to advocate for my right to be single sex attracted.
Your point fell out of the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down.
"I don't mind who sees me naked or examines me intimately or what genitals they have. So you mustn't either
The law allows you single sex services but I say you are a bigot and a hater if you want to use them."
I can't follow why these women are not deemed worthy of respect.
Graham Norton on transactivism :
βI know thereβs some aggression, but any group looking for equality and progress will only get there if thereβs an extremist vanguard and thatβs how you shift things to the middle groundβ
When he said it I thought fβckwit. I think more so now.
As a gender non confirming lesbian of several decades thereβs nothing more ironic than being a called a βgender conservativeβ by some 19 year old bloke who thinks wearing a blouse can make you a woman.
I can't understand why the sensitivites & need for dignity of some people are required to be paramount in our decision making.
Yet the sensitivities and need for dignity of biological women are not.
Unless your default setting is women must come last & thats no feminism at all.
@CharleyHasted
βThereβs a Church/Mosque in my street.Some of the people there donβt believe in gay marriage.

If you donβt feel safe because other people have different views in a democracy you need therapy not power.
So transactivists are going to buy tickets to see Macy Gray so they can turn up and boo her?
I hope she puts her prices up and they can crowdfund like mad.

@starchanton
I had a female lawyer ring me up who I knew 15 years ago.
Never comments on my GC posts on Facebook.
Spent 1 hour and a half on the phone saying β you need to tell me all you know & give me the right language because Iβm going in.β
Itβs self evident Dawn Butler had been led to believe the majority backed Stonewall before she posted her poll.
When Paisley came flying down the aisle screaming βNoooo, we donβt ask them to vote on itβ it showed clearly the βno debateβ strategy was based on an unwinnable case.
So I log on again today to Amazon and for the third time I get this message prompting me to change my nominated charity away from LGB Alliance to Creative Youth Network.
And no substantive response to my complaint asking why Amazon are doing this.
As a student I stood mouth wide with surprise watching the Berlin Wall come down.
I heard African women chanting as they danced through Camden Town & realised Nelson Mandela had been released. Looked on the fall of apartheid.
I KNOW that we can beat the gender woo woo too.
βWeβve been trampling all over your boundaries for ages and youβve only just noticedβ is not only untrue but really doesnβt have the moral clout they want it to have.
Remember when Veronica Ivy got suspended from Twitter for saying they wanted all cis people to die in a grease fire & Linda Riley offered to get the ban overturned because she was in charge of some anti homophobia elevated contact scheme with Twitter?
Basically misusing it.
@OliLondonTV
Itβs amazing how Australia went from being one of the most palpably racist and misogynist cultures in the world to one of the most βprogressiveβ when it came to trans rights.
Itβs almost like itβs still all about white men prioritising Team Penis.
Sally Hines asking Julie Bindel today to confirm whether she thinks Ghislaine Maxwellβs sentence is unjust when Ghislaine Maxwell hasnβt been sentenced yet, is one of the most cringeworthy Iβve seen from a so called βacademicβ.
Iβm still waiting to find out why wanting changing rooms separated by sex is a hate crime and wanting them separated by gender is a human right.
Is the lack of any compelling answer why no debate is allowed?
The treatment of
@Docstockk
angers me so much because as working class kids growing up on estates, we werenβt allowed to express our views without risking being punched in the face
Universities were meant to be the refuge.
The place where logic & sense not violence ruled.
To understand institutional capture, recognise that only 11 years ago, the twomHouses of Parliament thought biological sex was so important they made it a protected characteristic in law.
And now you risk arrest, cancellation and being compared to a racist for saying it matters.
Anyone else wrongly think it was βKnights in White Satinβ not βNights in White Satin?β
I also always thought it was βNever wanted to be your weakened loverβ instead of βweekend loverβ in Purple Rain, as well.
@PantiBliss
A lot of men pretending to be women telling women that they canβt have an opinion on what a woman is, otherwise theyβll scream into their faces with a megaphone.
You havenβt got the moral high ground here, Billy Bob.
I know which team Iβm glad I ended up on.
The one with a load of struck off seedy parish councillors and otherwise unemployable fringe academics or the one with Simon Callow and JK Rowling.
A year ago today JK Rowling announced she was donating her royalties to medical and other charities working with those most hit by COVID 19
Whilst grown men were sending her death threats and dick pics where children were bound to see them.
Right side of history.
Sheβs on it.
@Runningactor
No pal. Everyone who is not a man isnβt a woman.
Women are not non men.
Lesbians arenβt non men who are solely attracted to non men.
How about we define trans as anyone who likes wearing a onesie and lives in their parents box room? Then weβll see you gatekeeping.
