Gender Discussion #21

[emmer_moans]

Doctors is a joke, like you I don't watch but It but I visited my nan at lunch time a few months back and she watches it, they were having diversity training on the show and it was basically a trans propaganda episode - there was some push back from some of the staff and confusion about pronouns but they all had their flags out by the end.

Soaps and dramas used to shock and entertain but now they are just propaganda/lecture machine s. Doctors, Hollyoaks etc.

Ah yes, Her - the dating app originally designed for lesbians and bisexual women





It is 'not okay to ask' whether someone is female.

How comes they can’t see they are contradicting themselves? I guess they choose not to - no one is that stupid.

I wonder how successful it actually is as a dating app though? I bet it’s mainly men in bad wigs with five o’clock shadows all looking for lesbians 18-25, of which there will be about 5.

This was a very enlightening read. I too spent far too many of my teen years down the tumblr rabbit hole, as did my friendship group at school.
Whilst I never identified with becoming trans, (one of my school friends did and is still trans to this day), I definitely related to the part about tumblr glamourising poor mental health, eating disorders and self harm, and those things did have a significant impact on my teen years and my early 20s.
I really think tumblr, and social media in general, has a lot to answer for, and there needs to be much more safeguarding for young people online

I was listening to one of Benjamin boyce’s recent interviews with the mother of a desisted teenage girl. One of things that stood out was that peedos know where to look online/social media to find AFAB listed in profiles. And they know to target young teenage females who are vunerable and confused using that acronym. It’s a dog whistle for peedos

OK, I've asked this before. If a bloke identifies as a woman and dresses like a woman etc but has no surgery but legally changes their name and gender on all their official documentation; if said 'woman' develops prostate cancer, surely medical experts will have to say to them ' but as a woman you don't have a prostate so I'm afraid we will not be able to help.' & they subsequently die as a result of their utter delusion. Surely THAT'S one of the logistical conclusions to this absolute bleeping farce? What will the handmaidens have to say about that?

That's where they claim discrimination towards trans is, one of them anyway another one being bleeping hair removal
It's the whole purpose of M\F on medical records - as a flag as to what healthcare people will require in their life

When they keep saying TWAW I just think then why do they need trans care then! holes! lol

Sadly have just been told that an acquaintances daughter - who is in year 7 or 8 - is supposedly ‘transitioning’ and has a girlfriend. It was hazy on details but said that ‘she was basically what we used to call a tomboy’. I said there was nothing to transition to, having a girlfriend is perfectly fine and that I hoped she was given space to decide for herself as she’s so young. Fervently hope no medical paths are pushed. It’s scary.

Oh gosh are your acquaintances in support of it?

Have just seen this on reddit. What a vile creature this person's (now ex) fiance is.

Seems to be quite a few where the "trans" partner waits several years/until it's more difficult for someone to leave before they come out. I would be so angry I don't think I would be able to trust again.

Surely it would be easier to design a specially-worded cervical smear invitation letter to TIFs? Use all the inclusive language they want. No need to put a bearded trans man front and centre of a campaign targeted at WOMEN. FFS. It really is gaslighting.

Better yet just include woke as feck on the languages after Urdu and Welsh so they can request one

I was sure I had seen it being so on Twitter this morning but can’t see it now. Possibly I misread. I’m sure this debate will not take place.

Grace Lavery has dropped out of the debate as of this morning, I believe. He’s also been suspended (possibly banned?) from Twitter for saying he hopes the Queen will die. Repulsive individual.

The fool tagged the home office in it

https://lacroicsz.substack.com/p/by-any-other-name?utm_campaign=post&utm_source=url Saw this linked on twitter, it's an account from a detransitioner. Obviously it's just her own experience and I don't want to generalise but it is interesting to read about the way online communities (specifically on tumblr) influenced her.

That's brilliantly written and so sad. That poor girl went through so much at the hands of this appalling cult.
This is what needs to be out in the mainstream.

It’s official: Lavery has bailed on Unherd/Helen Joyce debate because they’re all fascists.

Never saw that coming.

Just read it too. Amazing piece. And so relatable! I was an intense, obsessive teenage girl. How easy it is to be brainwashed into a cult.

Tactical move. Get yourself banned from Twitter and then you cannot be contacted to make arrangements. Coward.

What did Grace do to get banned? Does anyone know? I'm interested mainly because she's the only transwoman I can think of I've seen banned on twitter!

Wished death on the Queen, tagging the Home Office. Such a vile creature.

They want plastic surgeries on the NHS and they want them asap!

So glad the mail picked that story up! Needs attention

Regardless of how you feel about the Monarchy (either ours specifically or all Monarchies in general) - the Queen has hardly lived a pointless life. She's done more for her country, and for women, than Lavery ever will do, or ever would do if they had the same amount of money and power.


Though this does remind me of when I worked in a council department a few years ago - I had to add the Queen onto a database and my then manager literally told me that I couldn't tick the 'female' box because we don't have proof she identifies as a woman

 

[Infernal Love]

Sorry, how many pages back was it that everyone was discussing that guy in a "Death to TERFs" shirt and how they literally cannot stop themselves from wishing violence and death on women. 2? 3?

Then this one wishes death on the most famous woman in the world, out of the blue. You couldn't make it up!
