Sorry, this is too funny, KJK made a mistake in her merch, sending people to the wrong website which some clever person (very well done whoever you are!) has registered and set up at 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I see Maya has created a whole new universe, can anyone explain what a "space where you are required to declare your sex" is, because I'm quite sure I've never had to declare my sex to enter any space in my life, ever?
I've been thinking about this rant of Mr Carbonara all day and how utterly wrong he is. My transition has long outlasted his career as a writer, and when I started JKKK wasn't even a known writer, I knew I was trans before beanie babies were even a thing.
This is what we mean when we say GCs are a danger to everyone, Daniel's wife is expecting their first child and those fécking eejits think she's trans? And because they think she's trans the replies are full of some of the vilest misogyny you'll come across on this site
This is the person who allegedly couldn't find anything transphobic that the wizard lady had said. Not surprising as she doesn't even seem to know how to look up words in a dictionary...
@SloaneFragment
Dana International won Eurovision in '98 as well, if she were to even enter now there would be editorials about women being silenced and jobs that were rightfully theirs taken away from them
British politics and media in a nutshell, GC councilor decides she's going to try some of that sweet, sweet GC grift, all based around mishearing something. She gets a newspaper article and a higher profile out of a completely made up story
Hah, you can't convince me the UK is a real country, a *Baroness* in charge of the "Equality" commission is accused of bullying staff and 54 peers of the realm come to her rescue..
@tropdepieds
Do I understand that last paragraph correctly, she is sorry for gay and lesbian people that her bigotry against trans people is making her hate? She really is that cartoon in human form
@catespice
We passed the 8 year mark here in Ireland recently and I'm sure any day now they'll come up with a list that includes more than the 1 trans person locked up for 23 hours a day (and they would have been treated exactly the same in other jurisdictions without self-Id)
An amazing amount of GCs *really* seem to believe that being trans is "new", as I've said before *on this site* you can find people who've transitioned in the 00s, 90s, 80s, 70s, 60s, quite apart from the many, many trans people (some rather famous) from the 30s, 40s and 50s
@KatyMontgomerie
She seems to think that trans people secretly run the US as well, seems a familiar thing, can't put my finger on where I've heard that before
@CaelanConrad
The old "wear what you want" line really seems to have been totally forgotten about at this stage, the "it was never about drinking fountains" image comes to mind, they have a virulent hatred of seeing anyone they consider to be slightly gnc in public
I honestly thought this was a humorous reply from someone, no, no, they are actually serious. Photos of tomato soup now constitute evidence of violence against women..
I transitioned in the 90s, we did not have this kind of shíte going on then, this kind of rubbish is imported wholesale from the island next door and the US. Anyways, stay clear of Achill Island Film Festival, even if you're not LGBT+
@jessothomson
We knew that was the aim, but to actual see them say, in black and white. that they are looking for a legal way to discriminate against a group of people is quite an amazing admission from a so-called equalities watchdog
I see little Ms "Can't I have a little genocide, as a treat" is now calling trans people "terrorists" and calling for police to act. I'm sure, as an Irish woman, she is completely unaware of the British Police's totally chill response to people labelled as "terrorist" in the past
@HLeeHurley
How long before "shoppers have no right to know if staff are trans".. "commuters have to no right to know if fellow passengers are trans". They are speed-running the 30s at this stage
@KatyMontgomerie
I'm guessing that skeleton is the opposite of a chinless wonder? He must wallop his manly chin off his huge chest everytime he opens his mouth...
@WeeMelter
So you're telling me, that the people who were pro-brexit, don't believe in climate change, are anti ECHR, are also connected with the LGBA??? I'm shocked, shocked I tell ya
@GBBranstetter
Not completely grey yet, just a large sweep of grey to one side that looks kind of cool if I can be bothered to style it (reader, most of the time I can't be bothered)
We always said GCs were not being honest, here's SV congratulating that tulip on trying to ban health care for *adults*. They've been saying all along "we don't care what adults do" but here they are trying to define actual adult trans people as being not really adults
@KatyMontgomerie
That's always been my view, my being trans is of no more relevance to any employer than telling them I fractured my arm when I was a teenager. I attended a specialist, had a course of treatment and that was that.
@AidanCTweets
I missed that they had Kiwi Farms there on first glance (my eyes were bleeding from the other cards). Nothing says "of course we don't "hate" trans people" like making a UWU card about a site that doxxes trans people and has several deaths linked to it..
@KateBHdj
I'm so sorry this has happened to you, as a trans woman this was never a fear until the last 18 months (I'm out 25 years at this stage) the "we can always tell" lot don't seem to realise that they are going to harass multiple cis women and possibly never come across a trans woman
This reply to Thomas is just, complete nonsense? I started transition 29 years ago, if I'd said I was using the gents I simply wouldn't have been allowed have surgery, that was the whole point of the RLE/RLT, to show you could live in your new gender
@KatyMontgomerie
Does she think it is the phrase "man in a dress" that is transphobic regardless of who it is said about? Is that what she's trying to say? (Back to drink more coffee, maybe I can work it out then)
@Esqueer_
They will also say a 5 year follow up is not long enough, it needs to be 10, 20, 30 years, but honestly, no amount of evidence will ever satisfy these types
Holy disingenuous headline Batman! So the staff at the EHRC are transing kids now? No, I'm guessing a trans kid who had already socially transitioned at home and the school refused to accommodate, so the EHRC stepped in, which, you know, it's what they are *meant* to do
This man is dangerous, he appears to be calling anyone who has availed of the GRA a pervert. He (and his US/UK/Gulf state backers) are going to get somebody injured or worse. If you're a county councillor and your see his name on a ballot again for the Seanad DO NOT VOTE FOR HIM
@ICanSeeForever1
I'm sure it was someone calling her a Nazi that did it, and that having a Nazi doll avatar, having Nazis turn up to her rally or not complaining when one of her supporters started quoting chunks of Mein Kampf had nothing to do with it
@MavenOfMayhem
I suspect it also shows the age range of a certain cohort of terfs, I had to learn how to tie a tie, but within 5 years of leaving school, they'd brought in clip-on or elasticated ties. I don't think I've seen a school uniform here with real ties in more than 20 years
This here is why a large chunk of non-political GC men are drawn to being GC,
"Want to be misogynistic without being attacked? Become a gender critter and you too can say everything you've wanted to say about women, no matter how vile and some other women will even cheer you on"

@PinkNews
A) You don’t have a contract with PinkNews.
B) I don’t have a “predecessor”. I’m the founder and majority shareholder in PinkNews. How could there be a predecessor?
C) I’m going to get your article deleted. It should have done because it didn’t fully get copied over.
@BenjaminCarollo
I like to point out that not only has the surgeon I went to retired, but the surgeon he trained in to replace him has also retired, but, yeah, sure "new and experimental"
@MockWooloo
@KaskaJessica
What does he mean "seen by mermaids"? Is he conflating the Tavi and mermaids? Also the scaremongering is off the scale, "they were seen" obviously means hrt and grs in his fevered imagination
They always talk about "the right side of history" and seem in awe of it, thing is, I couldn't care less what the fúck history thinks of me, I'll be long gone by then. I care about the here and now. I turn 55 tomorrow, I'm ambling to an age where I'll have been me for 1/2 my life
This is why I find Stock particularly infuriating, trans people were living and existing for decades before she came across is, but as soon as she became aware of our existence, then she alone is the arbiter of truth in relation to trans people, not trans people themselves
People are mad I said Kathleen wants a universal ceding to her own position and meanwhile she’s out here giving interviews like “I sincerely expected that once I explained that trans women aren’t women, everyone would concede to my view. And they did not 😡”
@BadWritingTakes
I don't believe in conspiracy theories, but JKKK coming out with the death-eaters are a stand in for a secret cabal of LGBTQ people running the world and Christopher Hitchens Ruprecht-like brother pushing left wing Nazi's in the same week is quite the coincidence
Why do cis people keep recommending HJs book? She is an ex-editor of the Economist, her degree was in maths (fun fact, I've the same degree, same institution, same time as HJ), she doesn't seem to have met many trans people, so what honestly makes her an informed expert?
@MillieCheesey
It's amazing how in several hundred million twitter accounts they keep finding and retweeting these tiny "detrans" accounts, what's this, the third or fourth this year? It'll vanish like a puff if smoke once it's spread it's message
@HLeeHurley
They could have been more honest:"We've deleted the thread that was respectful to trans people so we could be more respectful to a handful of bigots with too much time in their hands"
@SloaneFragment
The time the GC took the photo of the man in the loos in Dublin Airport but did nothing about it, compared to the hassling of cis women they think are trans proves this
@AidanCTweets
@sullydish
I wish they could translate their fear of being "transed against their will" to all the kids of their own generation who knew they were trans and were facing puberty. Knowing it's coming and there was not a thing you could do was pretty damn horrifying
@AidanCTweets
@jk_rowling
Katy had a drink thrown over her a few weeks back, I don't remember any GCs talking about "what if it had been petrol or acid" then for some reason
That half of my life has been so much happier, I am so much more confident than I ever was beforehand. Anyways, I'm off to start celebrating my birthday early, service may be intermittent over the next day or so.. 🍷
Well, that's weird, I remember going to see a GP to get a referral to a psych because I knew I was trans, when I was 19/20. I knew I was different when I was 6, I had a name for it by the time I was 12, that was 43 years ago....
@SloaneFragment
I remember that being tried on me years ago, whereupon I pointed out I had the then requisite two letters from psychiatrists saying "nope, not ill", where was theirs?
I Iove when "Trans people didn't exist 20 years ago" season comes around, it seems to come earlier each year
It's not like there aren't a bunch of us who transitioned in the 90s here on twitter dot com, there are even people who transitioned in the 80s and 70s here..
@AidanCTweets
See also: labeling every trans person or person suspected of not actively hating trans people as "TRAs", I'm sure they are totally not trying to link it with "MRA" or anything, I mean they say they are pro womens rights, so they must call themselves "WRA"? Right?
You've got to ask the question, how does Kathleen feel about a spouse or family objecting to someone coming at as L, G or B? Also, yes, preventing someone from transitioning is an excellent example of abuse, no need for the ""
@doctorbees
In Ireland, as kids, we were always warned not to pick up combs we found because they belonged to the Banshee and she'd be miffed. I can only imagine what demonic deity goes around abandoning open tupperwares full of beans
