so, so chuffed that this friend is terfy. Very heartening, considering the difficulties I’ve had with other friends deciding I‘m some sort of middle class stealth-fascist over this.
1) We don’t hate trans people. We hate that we’re having our single sex spaces eroded with no regard for our safety or concerns or our basic human rights.
How thick do you have to be to assume that these men are forgetting that children are around?! No wonder we’re in the mess we’re in.So today I was looking for somewhere to take my kids climbing, checked the reviews for a place and stumbled across this
OMG, they’re so biased in their language: ‘demands an apology’ and ‘claiming the case ‘impacted’ her life’. They put inverted commas around ‘impacted’ as if it is not true. Of course it impacted her life - she was banned from playingBBC version of Cerys' story.
Teenage footballer banned for transgender comment wants apology from Football Association

This is what is really annoying me about these organisations who are now back tracking. There is no acknowledgement of the laws they've broken, the harm they've caused to women and girls. There is no apology or reassurances that we can now trust these organisations to safeguard our rights. They're acting like this is a new law and they're expecting a gold star for changing their policies.
It’s his annoying little shaking heads at the camera which are so enraging.
I’m having the same issue with my husband at the moment. In fact, I can’t really discuss the issue anymore without him rolling his eyes - why can’t *I* just ‘be kind’? And that I’m turning into a ‘right wing gammon’ because of all this.
I watched a Helen Joyce vid on YouTube yesterday and she described NB women as ‘not like other girls’ which I thought was spot on. Very much like how I was when I was a teenager. It’s all just a crutch to cope with mental distress. When I was anorexic and pure bloody minded about weight-gain and my body not changing, NOBODY said ‘her body, her choice’ (even if that’s what I was constantly screaming at the time). I also couldn’t confront what was really going on until I dealt with the anorexia. Non-binary would have been a convenient cover for the ED as ‘sexless’ was definitely what I was unconsciously striving for. There are very good and understandable reasons why young women would want to grow up sexless in this world; it makes me angry that MH spaces seem ill-equipped to deal with all these issues.
Be kind of a bitch is what I'd suggest.
I don’t think Nicola Sturgeon has the ability to even consider that she might ever be wrong. I absolutely loathe her with a passion.
She had autism as well if I recall correctly? Such a cruel thing to do to a young girl who's just being honest about what she's seeing.
They mention supporting non binary people. Semi-serious question, if they go wherever they feel comfortable does that mean one day it's the gents, next day the ladies' room?
