I think when you complain about these things you have to try to keep your head but be clear and unapologetic. Give them an inch and they take a mile. That's something I really struggle to maintain composure.

The punishment will be the same whether you apologise or not, whether you're JK Rowling or Susie in finance who doesn't want to share a bathroom. They don't care about your credentials, politeness or apologies. They want to gaslight you and make you feel that you are the problem. Validate or pay the price.

Crikey, she's ill, and on something.
What she isn't is a man.

Replying to myself, just read that she's non binary so obviously not a man, or a woman.
Just floating around in the sexless world, being a twat.
How embarrassed will she be in ten years?

Is it Ellen Page? I thought she was claiming to be a man, is she now non binary? So she went through a mastectomy and her sculpting abs for nothing...

This bill is very sly, because it links sexuality with gender identity. So people will want to prevent conversion therapy for gay people and so it could become illegal to counsel people struggling with their gender identity. Those are 2 very different things, and stopping people from helping someone who feels born in the wrong body seems wrong to me

My daughter at about the same age was going to have twelve babies - all of them girls. No way were any stinky boys going to be in her little family of angels.

In a book magazine I picked up at a bookshop. New book coming out next week. There was also a double page spread for that ‘Grandad’s Pride’ book that we’ve seen on this thread before. Interview with the illustrator.

The Rainbow Parade for ages 4+

What other children’s book from first time authors would get such glowing recommendations from some very famous people? It’s actually sinister.

I don’t know how book blurbs work. Are they being paid? I can’t imagine some of those names doing favours for publishers.
Have they even read the book and know what they are endorsing?

I largely scroll past author/celeb blurbs as I tend to think they are all just patting each other on the back and doesn’t tell me anything useful. But seeing who is endorsing this children’s propaganda hits different. You are right it’s sinister.

Tired of this crap

‘What it means to truly love yourself’

But in order to do that you need to change your name/pronouns/body parts

Spark Company do some nice feminist bits but find it hard to buy from them now.

I like some of their t-shirts but I can't give them my money.

Re: book blurbs - my understanding is, a lot of the time these celebs haven't read the books and will just be asked to give a comment via their publicist so I wouldn't pay any heed to their endorsements.

Another enabled cunt. I'm surprised there aren't a load of cunts surrounding them, clapping.
