I've thought the exact thing! Not that I'm religious, but I do think we as humans almost 'need' religion, or just something to follow/believe in, I think we've almost evolved that way after centuries. I think it's why we as people are so inclined to join cults, gangs, even MLM schemes, as it's something to believe in and follow. I do think in the same way people believe and follow these TRA or LGBTQIA+ movements.
I agree, this is why mindfulness has also becoem a thing imo, people "need" some kind of higher power type idea to give their lives meaning (and it actually has been shown to have psychological benefits).. I am not a huge fan of religion but I would rather that than this non-sensical madness. As someone said earlier today (sorry cannot remember who) about Ireland going from the strict Catholicism, magdalen laundries etc to know... it does seem strange initially but actually when you think about it it is totally logical. One crazy religious movement (opressing women, of course) to another.

Question, I don’t have experience with breastfeeding since I’m barely 20 yet (and never had a bf) but I got a older sister who had a baby and was recommended to avoid caffeine and alcoholic beverages when breastfeeding.

So a breastfeeding woman can’t consume certain drinks but a male who is injecting himself with artificial female hormones is just fine with feeding a infant??? Help me understand? Breastmilk has antibodies that help strengthen the babies immune system, can a male provide that??? Has there been any studies?? Does no one care about children anymore?????💀
I have breastfed. Men can’t as they don’t have milk ducts. They can produce a milky substance through hormones but no, it can’t sustain a baby. It’s wishful thinking and a total insult to women and our bodies.

That was me. In my opinion most organised religion is based to some extent around the oppression of the ‘other’ and that other is usually women.
All those millennia wasted on one half of the population oppressing the other, imagine how different our societies would be if men could’ve just treated us as equals, as partners not property.

the breastfeeding world is totally captured by this stuff.

This writer covers lots of it: https://yolandaforster.substack.com/p/the-aunt-lydias-of-birth-and-breastfeeding

(as an aside- you can drink when you’re breastfeeding. There’s a lot of policing womens bodies and telling women they can’t drink when nursing is just another one)

A genuine question here that I hope people won't mind giving their views on, but I was interested if anyone here thinks Kellie Jay Keen isn't the best person to have fronting those sorts of events. To me, a relative newcomer to it all, she comes across as harsh, divisive and smug. In short, I think she'd turn more people who are questioning this kind of thing away.

There are so many, better representatives. In fact, pretty much any GC woman who puts her neck on the line - Julie Bindel, JK Rowling, Helen Joyce, Kathleen Stock, etc. I could go on and on. They come across far calmer and - to be frank - seem more intelligent and hence put their point of view forward much better.
We need all types of women to stand up for us. We’d never have got the vote if we were polite.

It’s got to be puss or something. It can’t be milk to nurture a child. 🤢
It’s like a milky discharge. Some men can get that on certain medications I believe. It’s not milk for consumption no. Everyone is born with milk ducts but during male puberty theirs turn to large. No matter what they say, men cannot breastfeed a child.

On a side note you mentioned you are 20…all of this gender lunacy would have sent me crazy at your age. Especially as most of your peers will no doubt be taken in by it. I’m in my 40’s and it gets me down but I have lots of real life terfy friends which helps. Makes me feel sane in an insane world. Easy to say this but try and not get too bogged down with it all. People expect older women like me to be old grumps but you have your life in front of you. As much as these are crazy times there’s still lots of good in the world. And I do think there will be an end point to the gender madness, maybe sooner than any of us think.

And you’re right on everything! As a member of gen Z it’s hard to find people my age who have GC views as a lot of young people have been Brainwashed while others are too afraid to speak out.
I had a teacher in high school who told us there is hardly a difference between men and women and I also had a female friend who was trans identified who first started off as a les tomboy before going full on boy.💀 Ha- I even had a friend who was explaining to me that a tina is just a inside out pen and that they are the same thing.
All these dumb arguments you see with woke gen z is what I was hearing 24/7 since high school.
Made me wish I was a high schooler in the 90s not in the 2010s because atleast I wouldn’t be exposed to all madness as for other young kids.

I've mentioned recently that I was working in an environment with quite a lot of youngsters, when they were faced with a 6'6" 60+ Male in a filthy skirt, stockings, a bad wig, clownface and a penchant for sitting down and opening his legs, they all peaked. The guy was a pariah. Young people are on Social media seeing a highly sanitised version of reality, faced with the AGPs IRL they have their eyes opened quickly.

I actually kinda agree with you on this one. There have been times where I’ve watched her and got the feeling that her main goal here is to just try and advance her own career… and yeah she can be a bit divisive. That said, I do think she is an absolutely brilliant public speaker and has certainly drummed up a lot of support for women's rights so I can’t really slate her too much, but I’m hoping some younger women might come in and take the reins at some point to appeal more to the 20-30 year olds because tbh the older generation tend to be a lot more on side already, it’s the younger people like my generation who need convincing.

Again there were some young speakers at Brighton. KJK defo did not hog the day.

Kellie-Jay is HUGELY intelligent and runs rings round most TRA's. I think she's amazing.

So we know Matt Walsh is no friend of women, but damn, he’s done a huge expose on a trans clinic 👏

A former friend of mine is the type who collects identities and is now trans and actually used to be in a cult. There’s definitely a sense of needing something to latch on to.
There is definitely a certain type who are drawn to it. We often get people coming to my synagogue wanting to convert, after “trying” islam or evangelical christianity or transgenderism. Always very unhappy, unhinged people.

‘I am a gay man in a straight woman’s body. If I were to speak to my husband about this, it could end our marriage’


Have any of the Irish tattlers seen this? The Irish times agony aunts letters are often a bit out there but I don’t know what to make of this one. Seems strange that making new friends during maternity leave would make a woman want to be a man.

The advice is batshit 😂. A history of mental health struggles, manages to marry and have not one but two pregnancies and births before realising she's truly a gay man in a woman's body, in part because she has quirky fashion sense 😂 and the advice is like, "obviously transitioning is your only option!"

You couldn't make this tit up. I hate my body and have alternative taste in fashion, am I really a bloke?
