I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this is occurring at the same time when voicing an opinion that you don’t want to be physically subjected to someone’s fetish if they perform it in public, or questioning whether porn is becoming more normalised and accessible to younger age groups can be dismissed as “kink shaming”

For some reason YouTube has been recommending lots of trans influencers recently. I’ve been struck down with covid this week and unable to focus of anything much tv wise so I have fallen down a rabbit hole watching them.

so many of them are just so shallow. Young American (mostly) trans women who pass quite wel as they are young and got started early. It doesn’t go beyond the look and it’s all trans trans trans. If they think they are women why do they have so much contempt for women and why do they never do anything in any way shape or form to help women’s rights. They don’t even seem to like women at all. Every thing they talk About is just surface level. One was on a rant about how privileged ‘cis’ women are and how they would do anything to be able to be pregnant. I had to stop watching, do they really think women are privileged and not opressd for reproductive capabilities.

And don’t get me started on the trans men. Oh my life. They would be so out of place amounts a group of men

Hope you feel better soon!

I really dislike that some trans identifed people project jealousy onto women and then make women feel bad for being born so.

Another woman facing the wrath of the TRAs.
Thank goodness there are some who won't be bullied into silence.
It's very worrying that universities are totally infected with this nonsense.

Academia is rife with it, and it’s actually terrifying.

Stock is having to put up with unspeakable things at the moment. I really fear what will happen in academia when GC women who are in less stable academic positions have all been driven away.

Professor Alice Sullivan is another. She was on BBC Radio 4’s today program on Thursday, arguing that we need to know sex for a variety of data collection purposes. I thought she did very well, especially when the man they had on argued that sex doesn’t matter is effectively superseded by gender!

They are both very brave women to so publicly stand up for what is right, especially when universities are very much on the pro-trans train.

Yes she’s excellent also. I also love Jane Clare Jones!

Between Netflix and now Channel 4, the woke media sure do love their trans-identified males
Didn't hear a word Rose said, his voice was so jarring!
It was so strange.........we were watching as a family.......and thought we had misheard.......The voice was male.....but the name and clothing were female. (And in previous series the technician hadnt been name checked! or said anything!)

And.......it was odd because as a pottery technician.....wouldnt trousers have been more practical to wear whilst loading kilns etc

I also saw this and along with your concerns, the issue is that as he’s been taking testosterone for years, it is very unlikely that he is still fertile as a woman. I wonder who the medical professionals were and what they told him about the risks. This poor trans person could be in for some heartbreaking news.

We should all support the wonderful Allison Bailey.
The abuse on https://terfisaslur.com
Is horrendous, disturbing and disgusting
Her crowdfunding campaign was taken down without explanation, that's bloody sinister.

Excellent thread

Brilliant. Thanks for sharing, I've come off Twitter to cut down on my screen time/ doomscrolling (it does work!) but it's still good to check here and see such quoted twitter threads. Absolutely agree with that thread.

I donated to several crowdfunders but didn’t manage to do this one before it got shut down. Ffs.

I’m not sure that’s true. The only thing transmen get attention for is getting pregnant. Loads of them do it. It’s surprising, but I think they just have to stop taking testosterone and wait for their periods to return.

And now there's another wave of hate and death threats aimed at JKR because it was just announced that HBO Max optioned a TV series based on Harry Potter. It never ends ...

I wish her and her legal team would find everyone of these people who’ve sent death and r*pe threats and have the book thrown at them. It would never happen but I so wish it would.

They live in such a bubble.

“Who’s even going to watch this.” Umm, millions of people! Your Twitter bubble of “kill terfs” isn’t the real world.




This one thinks JK Rowling has some kind of massive power that gets laws passed and this power grows every time they announce a Harry Potter project.

Talking about propaganda while saying a ‘law was passed’ - what’s that then? I’m not aware of any laws passed of late that harm trans people. Fox Killer QC has so much to answer for ffs.
