what is the book about?
I’ve pre-ordered it! Looking forward to it.Helen Joyce is gender critical. I’m sure the death and rape threats have started already. I have high hopes for the book because she’s pretty fearless.
Oooh I’ll have a look at that book too.I’m really looking forward to Kathleen Stock’s new book, Material Girls. She’s doing an online talk tonight I’m hoping to drop into!
I wonder if it's possible to 'take back' a book endorsement - I guess it'll have gone to print by now.Re: Dawkins, I think he is pussy-footing around the issue as he propably doesn’t subscribe to gender cult but is too wimpy to call it out fully, so I think he is trying to look “impartial”. I mean, he has endorsed Helen Joyce’s book afterall.
If he does then it makes him look like he doesn’t know his own mind very well. It’s out in July so perhaps he still has time to revoke his words. I do think though if he gave her that endorsement freely then surely he’s GC? I don’t understand his hesitation on Twitter though, as this is the guy who was not afraid to call out God and religion, but seems to be afraid of fully calling out gender ideology. What a time to be alive, aye!I wonder if it's possible to 'take back' a book endorsement - I guess it'll have gone to print by now.
If your birth year is in your user name and your periods are getting closer together and heavier then you're almost certainly perimenopausal. You may find the GP does an FSH test but if in the UK then they aren't supposed to after the age of 45 as the test is unreliable. TBH once you're in peri the test is worthless anyway.I wish a transwomen who claims to have periods was at my house today to see the bloody mess in my bathroom. I get large blood clots and had basically filled two night time pads within three hours. I'm so glad I was WFH today so I could shower my legs off.
Have no problem with transwomen who are respectful but frankly they can duck off when they say they have periods. They don't have the worry that they might leak everywhere when they go out. They don't feel dirty at work because you don't feel properly clean. They don't worry that people can smell the blood on them. They don't need to.worry about coughing or sneezing incase a big blood clot comes out and floods their sanitary towel. They aren't risking TSS using tampons.
Tempted to use the photos I have taken today (for when I can get a Dr's appointment), open a twitter account and post the photos in response to those who claim they get a bleeping period.
(Sorry, hormonal, angry, uncomfortable and pissed off from my actual female body and hormones putting me through this tit monthly - I say monthly try more like 3 weekly...)
Thank you, that explains a lot!! Wondered why I'd gone from a regular 31-day cycle for the past 30 years down to 26 days for the last few months.If your birth year is in your user name and your periods are getting closer together and heavier then you're almost certainly perimenopausal.

Usually periods start getting closer together and then gradually further apart. I've posted in the Menopause thread some of the (random)symptoms to look out for so have a quick look on there. It's actually pretty sad that so few women know that this is an indicator of peri. If you have had anxiety or insomnia lately that will also be linked.

Apparently this is also happening to a lot of women due to lockdown, although they’re not really sure why. My cycle has got shorter too, but I’ve gained a bit of weight, so in my case that’s probably why.Thank you, that explains a lot!!

I'm 46 and post-menopausal. Deep joy!!!Usually periods start getting closer together and then gradually further apart.

Yep and barely any research, meanwhile some tosser wants to know of any period apps forI'm 46 and post-menopausal. Deep joy!!!
We can’t even trust the police to behave properly in unisex facilities, what hope do we then have for the general population. A disgrace.posted this in the other thread as well. how shocking! *sarcasm
I've previously seen men + gender neutral washroom.It's just reminded me of the epidemic of spy-cam 'porn' in South Korea that historically has had a lot of unisex bathrooms in crowded cities

Korea to tighten rules on unisex restrooms
South Korea will tighten rules on unisex public bathrooms over safety and privacy issues, the Ministry of Interior said Friday. Under the revised Public Toilets Act, slated to take effect later this year, the owner of a building with a place of business of over 2,000 square meters must build...www.koreaherald.com
I'd be happy if everywhere had a third unisex option for people who would feel comfortable using it but I don't see why it needs to be a) only unisex or b) male and unisex options
