History PhD student looking at the political silencing and shaming of women by men. Your virtue signalling and luxury beliefs are getting women nowhere.
If you thought that male rapist put in a women's prison is nuts, wait til you hear about the women pushed out of their own sport after years of training so that a mediocre man who's announced he's now a woman can win all their prizes. Misogyny.

Look at him signalling to the other spectators - 'that was weird huh?' No, YOU'RE weird taking the kids way before the finish line and not after it.
A friend of mine who works at a big London theatre says many of the production staff are refusing to have their pronouns on the website, which is annoying senior staff. Now each show only has some people with pronouns instead of all. These are theatre people, a huge change.

For those saying JK Rowling is cruel/transphobic in saying India Willoughby is a man, you're wrong. We need to be able to say who men are, otherwise rights women fought hard to get are erased. We cannot let men's identities have more power in law and life than women's reality.
We live in a world where Dylan Mulvaney is getting paid $40,000 to speak on female empowerment, whilst a social worker is put on unpaid suspension because she wondered if Dylan is the right person to be modelling sports bras. I know there's many men finding this hilarious.
A female author said JK Rowling should just shop for couture and be quiet. A female comedian said JKR should run all her tweets past her husband before tweeting. How on earth do any women out there kicking her and supporting men's identities think they're standing for equality??
or female, and feels so great now he finally accepts this. She gave him a firm and friendly goodbye and good luck. He's messaged her five times to say they shouldn't throw away their potential, and that he no longer thinks he's non-binary. He is 32 years old and a lawyer.

It's never enough is it. NHS says they'll put transwomen in their own rooms. That's "cruelty"
Sporting bodies say they'll have open events for transwomen. No one signs up to them.

It's hard to make a point about feminism or the patriarchy or female stereotypes when one of the main Barbies is a transwoman.
It's like, there's the patriarchy in action right there, bub. Women being forced to pretend men can be women. Dumbasses.
What's the difference between Barry Humphries making millions from pretending to be a woman and Dylan Mulvaney the TRAs bleat.

A friend told me she had a really good first date just before xmas and all was going well, but then he said he's non-binary. She knew what it meant, but asked him to explain. They chatted about it, and then very politely she said she was going to head off. He was surprised and

Reminder that the terminally unfunny Rosie Jones once said on here that she’d had a mad angry cry because she saw a group of feminists having a lunch together. She was completely serious. Womens rights made her angry and she thought it’s ok to tell everyone.

Sorry
@MargaretAtwood
but you're too cowardly to say the things people are afraid to, that's been left to JK Rowling. Your legacy will be pretending biological sex is meaningless and not the cause of women's oppression. You threw it all away for men.
It has to be male guides for the blind female runners, so that they can easily keep alongside, they have to slow down at the finish line so the woman crosses the line first. The ease is the important thing in a race with women at the top of their game.

My sister is going to be cross with me. She’s indoctrinated her 5 yr old son in trans mythology and when he was with me I told him non-binary is a silly made up identity. He said no it’s not, it’s when people are both girl and boy. I said everyone is either male or female end of

Anyone who works in education knows that gender questioning children were extremely rare until six years ago. Gender ID was certainly never taught in schools either. It is a make-believe ideology that lobby groups who want to create patients for big pharma have pushed and pushed.
I cannot believe that in a roundtable on acting, whilst Michelle Yeoh was saying it's hard for her as a non-white actor because she's always been othered, Emma Corrin (pretty, white, privately educated) pipes up and says it's hard for her as a non-binary person in the industry.
People pretend to marvel over how Savile got away with so much when he was the way he was in plain sight.
But the same people today invite Peter Tatchell on to the news, to give talks, and the police have recently signed him up as an advisor.
All these people know who he is.
Robbie Coltrane was a legend. Stood up for JK Rowling whilst the snivelling main three characters threw her under the bus for woke likes. He had an amazing career and saw women as human and deserving of rights.
If a man says he's sexually aroused by doing something with a baby, why is there suspicion and belittling of people calling this child abuse? How did we get here, where men are so emboldened by the veil of 'trans rights' they can openly admit to abuse and be called progressive?
The man on the left (prisoner) paid the man on the right (prison guard) $1000 to have the keys to the women's prison block. That's all the money it took to allow a group of men to rape the women, and now 8 women are suing the US prison.
Only 112 people liked Rosie Jones' tweet about her new show.
Thousands of incel and anime accounts liked her hate about JK Rowling.
It's tempting for failing comedians/authors/whatever Femi is/ to think this is real engagement.
It won't translate in real life success.

the sister who didn’t speak to me for six months because she said I’m transphobic and JK Rowling is evil. I’d hate to not see my nephew for ages, but I had to correct him when he brought up NB. You can see why Stonewall et al are targeting schools. Brainwash a whole generation.
other parts of the world rejecting pronouns, and also academics of all levels being visibly unimpressed with a project reinforcing non-binary culture. It's the most hopeful I've felt in a long time in academia.
Blocked for saying historians must not erase women's history by applying contemporary gender identity ideology to people from the past. Woke man feels racism must be tackled in UK history, but women's history and gay history can get fucked. Okay.

do not agree with this. Happily, no one did it. The first person didn't say their pronouns, just their name and uni and project title, and so no one else did pronouns. I saw the senior academic guy looking confused and also a bit peed off no one was doing what he said we should

Thanks for clarifying that men are not female if they identify as women. That will cost the BBC five hundred Stonewall points, and all the BBC woman's hour producers will be replaced by 21 year old Cambridge graduates who hate women more than they do.

today about the woman whose baby died because of incompetent/cruel midwives. To go from something so appalling for a woman to Grace Lavery talking about how sex-based rights for women only existed recently is too much.

How did we get here? Where men exposing themselves is their RIGHT. That woman are the bigots for being upset by this? And police are saying women, for their own safety, should be excluded from women's spaces. Women need single sex spaces for privacy and dignity, just as men do.

of course. But she’s like 35! What is going on. How can you not be embarrassed to make a scene like that and demand a WHOLE huge school is told about your private life and then complain in front of the whole teaching staff when you don’t get your way. How do people end up like

Things have become so tense with my PhD supervisor and there's no need for it. She's a TRA and has said a few silly things, like me talking about women's sex-based rights is 'aggressive'. Recently she wanted me to put in my introduction a bit about how I'm talking about women in
opinions like they’re facts and there’s no room for discussion. It’s absolutely chilling. Training young people who then go to work in industries where they reinforce these toxic views. Of course it’s happening even earlier than this in schools too, with any objections punished.
