If I travelled back in time just a few years and told people that in 2022 ‘Lesbian Visibility Week’ would feature a heterosexual man who had been married to a woman for a quarter of a century, not a single person would think I was sane.It is lesbian visibility week next week.
Quick - have an event hosted by a heterosexual man who has been married to his wife for 25 years (hmmm I didn't know gay marriage was legal in 1997) about what being a lesbian means to him.
its all fine though he has a dress and some lippy as well as a long suffering wife who I am pretty sure is surprised she is classed as a lesbian now having never been with a woman. They also have a history of getting feminists events cancelled...one lead to Julie Bindel having to get security to rescue her from a mob. They also got the university to examine CCTV to find out who was putting stickers up. Stickers found around the university cited the definition of a woman as an “adult human female” and included phrases such as, “women’s sex based rights are not for penises.” They also reported the rector for retweeting this event "How will changes to the Gender Recognition Act [GRA] affect women’s rights?”I really liked this reply.
Sums it up for me
I agree. The tories advisors are on the ball with this, or maybe it's just Labour's advisors are so out of touch it beggars belief.Comment on that Twitter thread: “Just be patient, they’re getting too greedy and it’s unsustainable.”
I’ve been thinking this same way for a while now. With things like ‘middle-aged heterosexual married man in a bad wig = lesbian visibility, yay!’, and Lia Thomas & the rest of the sporting shitshow, the TRAs are soon going to be hoist with their own petard.
Even Labour are reverse-ferreting like duck now because majority public opinion is becoming clear (as noted, and capitalised on, by those advising BJ).
Thus far the sports involved haven’t primarily been the major televised events that most people watch at home: something like a TW to entering the womens draw at Wimbledon and getting into the second week (if not further) would be an absolute gift in terms of the amount of people it would peak (or simply alert to the issue in the first place), and the ensuing debate it would provoke.
I think part of the problem is Labour don't want to alienate the woke who absolutely love them and their policies.I agree. The tories advisors are on the ball with this, or maybe it's just Labour's advisors are so out of touch it beggars belief.
I'm all for acceptance , but not when it rides roughshod over other people's thoughts, opinions and openness and acceptance. You are right, it is exploiting and aggressive & it's wrong.Women's kindness and acceptance has been used against them and exploited as a weakness....
Not only that, but we are socialised this way. And partly it’s pure self preservation isn’t it? Don’t make a man too angry, he might want to hurt you.Women's kindness and tolerance has been used against them and exploited as a weakness....
bleeping hole that blonde woman - I apologise as I try not to call people names. She is a complete and utter idiot and I sincerely hope she is being called out on this online. First time I have come across her and I can see that she is tweeting some of the same nonsense that she stated there.Oh my word, check out this clip and the cliched arguments coming from Amy Nickell. I have no idea who she is and who briefed her to be such a TRA mouthpiece:
Trans women in sport? No big deal, there aren’t many!
High trans suicide rates!
Puberty blockers are fully reversible!
Not only that, but we are socialised this way. And partly it’s pure self preservation isn’t it? Don’t make a man too angry, he might want to hurt you.
Lol what she said is just nonsensical and nothing to do with the actual point. Gay men have no inherent biological advantage over straight men. Lesbians have no inherent biological advantage over straight women. That's the point.Oh my word, check out this clip and the cliched arguments coming from Amy Nickell.

It’s pure DARVO isn’t it? Quickly deflect the topic away from unfairness to women in sport, and focus on how sad and oppressed trans people are, you’re all nasty bigots etc.Lol what she said is just nonsensical and nothing to do with the actual point. Gay men have no inherent biological advantage over straight men. Lesbians have no inherent biological advantage over straight women. That's the point.
TRAs have this tactic of speaking the most nonsensical crap and getting you to react to what they say, therefore, deflecting from the actual root of what is being spoken about.
