Gender Discussion #22

[nothanksbabes]

I don't know if by "more inclusive" they mean "more accessible"... but if so, why not just say that? Organisations are generally moving towards plain English and formats that are accessible to the most number of people. It sounds like they're just talking shite to me tbh. Dunno about erasing women, they literally say "female" about the logo on the website.

Scottish greens sound like a salad from Marks & Spencer’s.

Who the fuck are they anyway? How many MPs have the greens got in the uk? One?

I know this is a flippant comment but they've got a fair few MSPs in the Scottish Parliament and in cahoots with the SNP, which is a concern because they'll have a say over the legislation that gets put through. They are in favour of self ID which is probably no surprise. I don't live in Scotland now but I know there's quite a few Scottish people in this thread who can expand on this!

Will somebody think of the non-binary males! the non trans males hardly want to put their lives at risk but they are having to!
Also, see the trans man is a woman in this case to escape.

One of the points Exulansic made in a video or two was about the hormones making lifelong patients which would increase the health risks in the event of war as they would not have access to the hormones they need and that's what's happening in Ukraine now

It does….that’s women like Willoughby with his cervix!

Not had a reply to my email to the sanitary towel company who’s advert said “young people” instead of girls.

Was that the Always ad? I find their adverts offensive generally, the menopause ones make me particularly annoyed too so they have form

 

[Vanelope]

Anyone else following the Maya Forstarter tribunal on Twitter?

Loads of people saying it’s going badly for her eating popcorn and crowing about it. What I read this morning the head of HR got politely put through the wringer.

 

[weeweegie]

Call me a cynic, but it almost feels like she was trolling by using that term.

She's pretty much going by the "there's no such thing as bad publicity" adage.

Possibly. Lots of other companies have been saying bleeders for ages and there hasn’t been this kind of reaction. I hope it does start a discussion though, and companies actually listen to women and grow a backbone.

Jon Snow made comments about not really being the age he was as the reason he divorced his wife and married someone decades younger.

That's actually a mid-life crisis!

 

[smellyfootballboots]

Couldn’t agree more. Does he honestly think the average labour voter on the street gives a shit about any of this? They’re worried about fuel prices, pensions, rises in cost of living, the list goes on. So out of touch!

Actually, I am a core Labour voter and I care very much. I can't worry about pensions if I don't exist.

I'll add 4. The Girls as a separate category. Girls who, in the past would "just" have self harmed and/or had an eating disorder. I've heard some detransitioners talk about transition as a means of deleting themselves and starting afresh. It made so much sense. These poor girls...

Yes, these poor girls too, I did count them as children x

 

[callurdadurinacult]

Ugh, Laurie Penny and Jack Monroe love-in on twitter.

I meant to post this a while ago, but I forgot. There's only one school in London which has been awarded Stonewall Gold and the 'what is gender?' bit of their LGBT+ newsletter is just a fucking bunch of lies and word salad and it made me very cross. I can't screenshot all of it because it's massive and it goes on and on but this bit is particularly terrible...

Maybe they are just kids. Maybe not conforming to gender stereotypes doesn't mean anything except you don't conform to gender stereotypes and people shouldn't fucking generalise. Make it about gender when you could be making it about how can we help kids not go down the paths laid out for them by the patriarchy/capitalism. FUCK THIS SHIT.

But...they also use that same criteria to determine if someone is possibly trans?

 

[callurdadurinacult]

I can give you more! Dr Jane Clare Jones, Helen Staniland, Coach Linda Blade, Kathleen Stock, Julie Bindel, Jean Hatchet,

Thank you! I knew about Kathleen Stock and Julie Bindel but not the others. These are great references to have.

 

[petitspois]

Do trans people really need their own competition space? Hopefully this phase will die down and the numbers of children we see being pushed into being trans will fade and we can legislate to stop the predatory pervs so that leaves a small number of what I’ve heard termed ‘genuine’ trans people. I suspect very very few are actually inclined or of the ability to compete in elite sports.

 

[skronkywildcat]

I’m so sorry you were outed but it’s wonderful your family supported you. It sounds like you have a wonderful warm, caring family. I’m sorry for the loss of your husband too x

This made me laugh View attachment 1088713

Crying at this who wants to guess at the name? Panhandle? Stove? Hat?

 

[HockyRorror]

Don’t know if already posted but came across this video today and thought it was quite revealing



^^ I should add that’s the same guy who recorded a video where he phoned up and confronted his “gender affirming” therapist who he was given (trans related) therapy from throughout childhood

 

[Icing _on_ the_cake]

Yes, that is the guy! Never seen that interview. Honestly thought it was all about dating so surprised to see him reaching to say about jobs etc. I admit I couldn't watch the whole thing...when the other person started talking I had to click out... I mean the Dutch guy really is using the same logic and the fact they can't see it.

Jon Snow made comments about not really being the age he was as the reason he divorced his wife and married someone decades younger.

Scottish TRAs were pretty much worshiping the Scottish Greens last year, no idea if they still do. We know they can be fickle.

 

[Glortard]

How can it NOT be a mental illness? Believing yourself to be something you’re not is clearly a deep psychological issue.

Edit: or a fetish.

The current trans movement is a bit like BIID in that some members believe it will be better after, some see it as a sexual fetish and some are willing to go to extremes to make it happen.

 

[Ekathrina]

In this messed up situation we now find ourselves in I’m sure he’ll probably get off because it’s his ‘girldick’ or something.

"It's aggressive misogyny. You can feel the rage and hostility towards women screaming from this person's statements and they are being promoted and supported literally 'as a woman'. So we will keep saying NO." - Rosie Duffield

Where did this photo and quote come from? Is it real? Did he really say he will break your face? I’m struggling here.

Sorry @smellyfootballboots I’m not doubting you, I’m just in shock that this could be real.

 

[SILKWORM]

This should be a parody but I think it's real.

Lol the first video I ever saw of this person was this one:





Annnd if it's a parody it's really funny. If not then

Edit: Nah this has to be a troll, come onnnn. Us ladies just breaking down crying at random times through-out the day, tehe just girl things. #girlpower indeed.
