When Dylan gets compared to Audrey Hepburn I always think about when they said ‘I want to be a mom one day and I absolutely can’.
Audrey spent many years trying to get pregnant, felt the pain of multiple miscarriages and if I remember correctly nearly lost one of her sons during the pregnancy. I don’t think she would like to be compared, maybe even on a superficial level, to a person who is biologically male making a mockery by saying out loud how they want to be a mother.
This is why a bloke comparing themselves to a woman is so bleeping disrespectful. I had a miscarriage and it's absolutely the worst experience of my life, my body didn't realise the baby had died so I had to go through a medical termination. It was painful and emotional in equal measure. No man can ever come close to knowing what menstruation, pregnancy and miscarriage feel like.

Some cheering stats - the tide is turning. This is Nancey Kelly of Stonewall - 3.2k people followed by her could comment - none have, 232k views and 107 likes

I thought conversion therapy had already been banned for LGB. Are they lumping the T in with them again 🙄

Slim pickings for actual women lesbians on Tinder at the moment. These are some of the specimens that come up when you search for women seeking women...

Oh, apologies, I didn’t read the DM article (as an aside, on this issue, I’ve stopped feeling guilty posting DM links, i feel more embarrassed linking to the Guardian and Metro!) I read it elsewhere and it didn’t mention that it wasn’t an official record. Is the record he beat an official record do you know?
Sorry, forgot to reply, my understanding is that yes the tanswomans record was/is still official but the protest one wasn't. Open to correction!

Utter hyperbole from the former mayor of Bangor
Someone ask this self-involved they/them prat (yet another sub-par gay man trying to give himself a sense of importance in a world where is comparatively unattractive and unsuccessful next to his peers) how many women a week are killed by men? What % of rapes are convicted? And who are the primary victims?

They're delusional. I swear the entire vocal part of the trans rights movement are the embodiment of one or all of tbe cluster b personality disorders. Narcissistic and histrionic in the extreme.

For sane people, feelings do not dictate facts. Disordered minds try and shape the world around their fluctuating moods. Hence we end up here, where because some batshit man feels bad about something everything be says must be true.

Apparently Alison Bailey has quit her job as a barrister following her win against Garden Court Chambers. Her statement:


I’m writing to let you know that I have decided to retire from practise as a barrister, and to reassure you that this will not affect the appeal against Stonewall.

Being called to the Bar of England and Wales is one of the greatest achievements of my life. Practising for over twenty years at the Criminal Bar has been a responsibility, a privilege, and an honour.

I have resigned from Garden Court Chambers and notified the Bar Council and the Bar Standards Board that I will retire from practise effective 31 March 2023.

As far as the appeal against Stonewall Diversity Limited is concerned, my change of status, from practising to non-practising barrister, changes nothing. The appeal continues.

All best wishes,
Allison


Not wishing to speculate but let it be known that a black les woman was called, in court, a “sexual racist” and her “crime” of being a les who likes only biological women likened to “apartheid in South Africa against black people” by a straight white woman.

Telling a group of people that the world wants to wipe them out is a great idea :rolleyes: many of them have untreated mental health problems, are on cross-sex hormones (we don't know the side effects on their brain function) and they're being fed images of weaponry. Great.

This notion that trans people are fighting overwhelming persecution and violence is absolutely laughable. I can’t imagine any other minority group being given the support, praise and validation that they are. How frustrating it must be for the LGB community to have trans just waltz in and take over everything that they have worked so hard for ☹

It truly is laughable. My 6 year old has been taught about gender identity but he hasn’t had a single lesson regarding Women’s Liberation. I’ve explained things to my older child and his mind was absolutely blown that women had to fight for the vote etc.
The president of America is fawning over some bloke in a dress every opportunity he gets. White men are being celebrated all over the place on IWD even by large brands. Most brands and institutions are captured. Visited Cadbury world and their rit was everywhere 😅 Trains are now safe for intersex people 🤣 who are lumped into the trans umbrella which is insane. Leaders of political parties can no longer describe what a woman is, language is changing in crucial services to be confused and dehumanising. The list is endless.

When Margaret Atwood wrote The Handmaids Tale she said that every thing in that book was happening somewhere in the world at that time. Certainly Romania was an inspiration (if you can call it that) It's quite frightening how little has changed in the intervening years. We think progress is being made and then boom, back to where we started.

Also re Bel Mooneys article, we have been indulging and validating children for far too long. We've also been institutionalising them at a young age. This whole movement to get parents out to work full time and dump kids into nursery at 1 year old is going to cause massive problems in the future. Parents aren't raising their children, poorly paid nursery employees are and then the parents indulge the kids because they barely see them Mon to Fri. All in the name of growing the economy.

I imagine it's also frustrating for the old school trans who want nothing more than to be invisible and get on with their lives.

How frustrating for every other community fighting for rights, persons with disabilities, those fighting for decent mental health care (that doesn't end up damaging them more than helping them), children with learning difficulties. All these groups have to fight so f**king hard to get anything and the TQ community is just handing "rights" (privileges) hand over fist.

It actually makes me so angry, I even hate the fact that their flag is designed to appeal to children (baby pink and blue) and their use of unicorns (my children's favourite animal 🙃) it's all so insidious.

I feel sorry for the parents of kids who are determined they're trans. If they've gone down that road so far and started to take hormones and so on then I suppose you're pretty obliged to support them. I see they're often the ones who call into phone ins or post supportive messages online. They seem to utterly believe their child is now of the opposite sex.

You’re kinder than I am. Any adult that truly believes their own child has changed sex is utterly stupid and I don’t have sympathy for them.

Jay's sexy pose 🤮 just emphasises his male torso. :rolleyes:

None of them look to have made any effort. Get into your own space and leave women alone. 😡
Why can no one see that these are just male rapists hiding in plain sight ?
When I was in my teens, we avoided blokes like this like the plague. Their whole persona screams ‘dodgy as duck
They would be spoken to by the police for hanging around street corners dressed like that. Now they are wanting visibility and validating. It’s sick 🤢
