I don't think 5 years ago I could have imagined reading an article with the phrase "getting her penis out" and not thinking it was a typo
Woman accused of using sex toy and masturbating in public
Chloe Thompson, 41, from Middlesbrough, has pleaded not guilty to the three chargeswww.gazettelive.co.uk
Another day, another woman with her penis out
I’m much more wary about where I shop now. I body swerved Lush the other day while out Christmas shopping. Never again will I shop in there. Good idea to check the website of a company you’re buying from, it will quite often give you clues if they are pro trans. Like that deodorant company I was going to buy from, until I read on their website they ask all their employees to put their pronouns on their email. Great, I now know not to buy from you, byeee!

This is so disingenuous too, pretending that in 99.9%+ of cases it isn't very easy to tell men and women apart, irrespective of hair, clothes, makeup. Put 50 men and 50 women with identical haircuts and outfits in a room and tell me I wouldn't know which ones are men
.They're fucking deluded. And to read the concerns of a female victim of child sexual abuse and rape and call her "evil" for bejng wary of men is truly fucking abhorrent.

This is where all this "your feelings are valid" shit ends up. Some people really need to know their feelings are in fact not valid
.
don't forget carrying an "offensive" tote bag, also violence
Imagine getting to the age of 30 without being groped by a man, seems like a fantasy situation for me and i imagine all other women
exactly, men are the biggest risk for everyone: women, trans people or other men are overwhelmingly attacked by men. I hope the police prosectute these people for publicising JKR's addressAnd the actual reality that they don't acknowledge is that MOST trans TRAs are either obnoxious self indulgent uni students or 30+ white men and both of these demographics are chronically online.
Trans people who are at risk are overwhelmingly at risk by men. Not by Rowling or by wee ribbons.

That Freddy McConnell has pissed me off so much. I really don't understand how you can give birth and then be triggered by the word mother.

It’s just socially acceptable self-harm. Girls of my generation cut their arms and legs with razor blades. Girls in 2021 cut their breasts off and get cheered for it.I'm all for feeling comfortable in your own body, as a man or a woman. But why is major surgery such as a double mastectomy diminished to 'top surgery' by trans people
I wonder if self-harm rates have gone down, now it’s so easy to get testosterone and crowdfund for surgery?

My blood is boiling reading this. Selfish, predatory wanker.
I would put money on it if Zara actually came out and said only woman can enter woman’s changing rooms they would not lose any money….in fact they might actually see more footfall.
sure Twitter would go into a bit of a frenzy and a few thousand people would like Owen Jones tweet where he labels them transphobic. So what if sales of sequin tops to men fall. However overall it would not hurt the brand where it matters….the bottom line.

Nurses want out of Stonewall! I can't link to the article, but I'll put the text behind a spoiler
Hundreds of nurses have called on their regulatory body to withdraw from a diversity scheme run by Stonewall, warning that affiliation with the charity risks harming the reputation of the profession.
Some 460 nurses have written to the Nursing and Midwifery Council demanding that it pulls out of the paid-for scheme, which aims to make workplaces more inclusive for LGBT people.
The charity has been mired in controversy over its gender identity views. It has said people should be able to access single-sex hospital wards based on the gender they identify as.
Several organisations, including the BBC and the Department of Health, have recently withdrawn from the diversity programme over concerns about Stonewall’s position on gender.
The nurses said that they did not support Stonewall’s stance over the medication of children who present with gender dysphoria and its view that patients should be able to access single-sex wards based on their gender identity.
ADVERTISEMENT They also highlighted the charity’s behaviour towards those who speak out on gender ideology or challenge its influence, saying that it was vitally important for nurses to speak out for the rights and needs of women patients.
One of the signatories wrote: “I support the needs of trans people — but not to the eradication of women and women’s rights.” Another wrote that they felt unable to protect female patients over fear of being seen as discriminating: “I feel I am unable to protect my female/women patients, and advocate for them without fear of recrimination.”
Eighty-eight per cent of nurses and 99 per cent of midwives are female.
Organised by the campaign group Woman’s Place UK, the letter to the Nursing and Midwifery Council read: “The history of Stonewall to promote equality and safeguard the rights of the LGBT community is one to celebrate.
“However, nursing affiliations must be based on evidence not ideology and judged on current record and strategy, not legacy achievements and reputation.
“We believe that as a profession, there is specific risk to the reputation of nurses and our ability to work within our code from the NMC’s affiliation with Stonewall.”
Andrea Sutcliffe, the NMC’s chief executive, said it knew of the letter and would respond in due course. “We’re aware of Woman’s Place UK’s letter, although it hasn’t been sent to us directly yet,’ she said.
A Stonewall spokesperson said: “This petition is littered with inaccuracies and misinformation. It is disgraceful that these groups continue to misrepresent our diversity champions programme, which simply provides support to organisations to build inclusive workplace environments.
“Ultimately, it is lesbian, gay, bi, trans and queer people who are harmed by these kinds of baseless attacks.”

I’m glad whoever wrote the headline mentioned “penis” though. They could have said “genitals” and people really would have thought it was a woman.
Well done Teeside Live for shining a light on this insanity

8 when adult make neighbour put his hand down my trousers to rub my bum.
Sexually abused by close male relative from pre-teen to late teen
Flashed at least 5 times between ages 12 and 23.
Groped frequently on public transport and clubs/bars or other crowded spaces when I was in my late teens/twenties.
Cat called countless times.
Sadly, this is not in any way unusual. I come from a nice, middle class family. I went to a good school. I lived in a nice neighbourhood. None of that protected me from predatory penis-owners.

Another important point about women's prisons, it's not just safety (as many prisons in the US are now witnessing or anticipating pregnancies between inmates), it's recreational space
From Women's Liberation Front
www.womensliberationfront.org
CCWF’s prison yard, for example, had been home for over three decades to trees which provided shade from the desert sun and a home to local birds. Once the men started coming, the trees were cut down, as they were seen as a security risk. (CCWF denies this happened, despite the first-hand accounts from incarcerated women). The security level of individual male inmates is otherwise completely disregarded once they enter the women’s facility, as prisons opt instead to remove privileges from all inmates.
We know the benefits of being around nature for mental health. Incarcerated women can't even enjoy something as simple as a tree.

I obviously can't speak for everyone, but when I go to see a dance performance, I honestly don't give a toss if the dancers are trans, non-binary, gay, straight, or closet Lib Dems. Why do they feel the need to announce it ALL THE TIME? And their announcements are always full of exaggerated flowery language, they're always "absolutely outraged", or "deeply offended", or "bitterly disappointed" etc, etc.
It's like there is literally nothing else going on in the world that could possibly compete with their despair at having to hear someone else's point of view

The arrogance that we can just replicate pregnancy in a man when we don't even fully understand how pregnancy impacts a woman and how her body naturally changes, adapts and sacrifices itself for a baby in the womb. There is a huge amount that goes on that scientists are still discovering and finding out. Even replicating the hormonal element would be impossible, not to mention all the other physical body parts that are missing. We are overcorrecting so hard we don't even get to question basic biology any more.
Also is it not extremely unethical to put an unborn child or baby animal through this experimentation? Not that it will get that far I suppose

when I worked in Adult home care for local council Muslim women were the only group able to specifically ask for only female carers for personal care due to the laws laid out in the Koran. I actually got a rollicking for accommodating the wishes of other elderly women about who assisted them to shower when I did the rotas. It was apparently discriminatory to the one male carer on my teamPoor response from Zara. They are stricter when it comes to letting men in women’s changing rooms if there are Muslim women changing? That seems to be what I got from the article. “Our decisions also have to depend on the ethnic profile of the other customers in the room at the time.”
So we have to self-identify as coming from a more conservative culture if we want sex-segregated changing rooms? Noted
