Why are women's privacy and dignity disregarded so easily?
Why, if you have 12 waiting beds spread over 2 rooms, can't you have a male area and a female area?
Why is this so fucking hard to understand?
Women should not be subjected to gross men like these 🤬
END OF RANT 8/8
Given this poor woman was using the sort of language that indicates she's not comfortable talking about these things ("down there", "nether regions", "waterworks" etc), having to do it in public and knowing that MEN are listening in must be particularly mortifying 7/8
The bed next to hers, and opposite my daughter's, is occupied by a teenage boy getting his wisdom teeth out.
He has another male with him (a brother, I think?), who are both sniggering every time they hear the words "vulva", "vagina" or anything related to girly bits. 6/8
The elderly woman, who is about to go in, has had to explain about 3 times to various people why she is in and what she's having done.
For all on the ward to hear.
Her surgeon gave us all a detailed description of exactly what they'll be doing to her genitals. 5/8
My teenage daughter is awaiting dental day surgery.
She is on a bed in an open ward, with 5 other beds occupied.
There are 2 females, she and an elderly lady, and 4 males of various ages. 2/8
The bloke next to her is a middle-aged man who is snorting back snot and coughing it out voilently through his mouth.
Another bloke us constantly farming and it STINKS.
It is utterly revolting to listen to, and I can see her getting increasingly agitated. 4/8
For 3 days, out of the corner of my eyes, I could see him watching me, out of proportion in relation to the way he was watching everyone else.
It was frankly creepy, and I was well over it within the first day.
Tomorrow will be interesting.
I’ll let you know how it goes 😉
But sheesh.
You keep hearing that trans people just want to get on with their lives, but they want more than that.
That crave attention.
From EVERYONE.
This bloke had the attention of 29 people, but that wasn’t enough because there was 1 person not engaging with him.
I am currently working with a trans-identified male.
I clocked him immediately, and ignored him. I never had to work with him, so no issues until today.
This person is in a leadership position, so they don’t do the same legwork as the rest of us.
Generally he just supervises
Since we were kicking goals, our bloke wasn’t keen, and asked why he wanted to swap, and the TIM said it was good to “get to know everyone in the wider team”.
Our supervisor said he liked his team and suggested the bloke swapped with someone else.
Bloke took off in a strop.
All the time, I just got on with the job I am employed to do.
I was never rude; nothing was ever specifically directed at me (apart from the chair banging), and my lack of response could have been seen as not wanting to cause an argument (which it was).
I moved my chair so it wasn’t behind his. So now when he pushed his chair back, it wouldn’t hit mine.
I think you can all guess what happened next.
Yes, he got up and moved his chair so it was behind mine again.
And the chair smacking started up again.
So after 3 days of trying to subtly attract my attention and failing (I’m the only person of the 30 here who isn’t gushing over him), he started becoming more obvious.
Today, he decided to join the team next to mine. (He couldn’t join ours because ours was full.)
@Jubilee4Jesus
@Slipstream60
As a foster carer this made me well up.
I have a tricky 13 year-old boy at the moment who is smart & sassy & talented, but all he’s showing me right now is rebellion & disrespect.
I also know in ten years time he will be a good man in a good place & it will have been worth it💕
This time I got up & moved my chair to a 90 degree angle to his.
Then he started talking loudly, and directing conversations over to our table. I just kept focussed on my work.
When that wasn’t enough, he then offered to swap supervisory roles with the bloke on our table.
@HazelAppleyard_
There is no way on earth that is a genuine phone call.
A) no clinic is going to go into this level of detail with some random person on the other end of the phone;
B) nobody gets to 34 weeks and then just decides to abort their baby.
This is role-playing, not reality.
He chose to sit directly behind me. As in so close that when either of us got up from our tables, our chairs hit each other.
After about 30 minutes of him smacking his chair against mine even when he wasn’t getting up, (and me ignoring it), I took action.
@MPMacLachlan
@YeahNaaaaah
You forgot to mention the most important point: these protesters are almost all men.
Men going out of their way to harass, threaten and intimidate women out of gathering and talking about our female lives.
Scratch any TRA and there is an MRA underneath.

@Janice5e
After I had my daughter, I realised they'd stitched my episiotomy incorrectly - fat layers were attached to muscle layers etc.
When I asked for a surgical correction I was told that since I was unlikely to have more children, it was pointless.
I mean, who needs sex after 37?😉
@KateBMwriting
They don’t.
They spend their lives on their landlines trying to get a real person to sort things out for them.
I’m in the process of helping to organise a cultural event, and we decided to utilise TryBooking.
Big mistake.
Some of the oldies are losing their minds over it 😳
I challenge anyone to find Dylan Mulvaney’s first weeks of “girlhood” videos, watch them again, & tell me it didn’t start as a PISS-TAKE of transgenderism.
Only once he realised people were taking him seriously, & giving him praise, attention AND MONEY, did he become serious.
@Poppa0R
@EliErlick
FOREVER.
Because that’s the thing here. Every cell in their body is coded XY (or XX for women), so the minute they stop taking opposite sex hormones, the body starts reverting to its natural biological settings.
Living as trans is the real lie, and their body knows it.
Rapid Antigen Tests are a medical diagnostic tool.
Why would a homewares store believe it would even be *allowed* to sell them unless they were already in discussions to that effect with the government prior to putting in a bulk order?

@TLexercise
The easy way to sort this out is for the IOC to sex test all the female athletes, as they did prior to 2000.
If Khelif really is female then it will be easy to prove & your thread will prove to be correct.
But if he isn’t, the IBA is right & this Russian stuff is tin foil BS.
@ConNor1388859
@FondOfBeetles
Not true.
Once a woman has had lactation induced and starts producing milk, her body then responds to the baby's needs in the same way a birthing mother's does.
Male bodies just can't do this.
@Poppy_yyyyyyyy
I made this point at that time.
There are so few male nurses it would be hard to accommodate a request for a male-only nursing care.
Female-only should have been a doddle … and I’m sure it was.
This was always about hurty man feelings, not about providing the requested care.
@babybeginner
I like the fact it's not just about whether HE can see - he still has a cock and in the women's changing room he's getting it out around women who AREN'T blind ... potentially including women who are religiously observant.
Where are their rights in this scenario?
@sharper76
Because you’ve listened to the women and now understand their concerns, or because you want to hide the backlash?
If it’s the latter, then please listen to another woman say it:
Women have a right to choose to only undress in front of people with female bodies.
I can’t stop thinking about
#Morrison

I seriously fucking hate him.
When

@australianwoma1
He is very obviously a bloke, so his CHOICE of dressing in high heels and a sparkly jockstrap in public is quite obviously intended to draw attention to his “specialness.”
Wearing LOOK AT MEEE! clothes, then complaining that people look at you is so on-brand for the 2020s 🙄

I would put money on it being an attempt by him to be fired so he can then sue the state for discrimination.
It has a kind of genius to it 😉
@xxclusionary
He also knows damn well that his teenage audience is smashing that “yes, I’m over 18” button as we speak.
And there’s nothing TikTok can do about it.
Win/win for him.
Except for explaining why his content is all “hey kids” & “your parents are bad” if it is aimed at 18+ 🤔
@salltweets
@latsot
That is an EPIC response to our ridiculous Foreign Minister.
It's about time these Aunt Lydias starting paying attention to women and girls in Australia.
We are no longer a First World Country when it comes to our rights.
@NFTguybuys
@FondOfBeetles
“New insights”? It’s a natural biological process that happens every month to millions of women and girls.
It happens to zero men, so why - yet again - are men being centred in something that is just women’s business?
@RonniNicole1
Apparently the hospital also refused to say how many “trans women” had given birth there.
Um, that answer would be NONE, unless the hospital is among the many who don’t realise that a trans woman is actually a man 😳

@Maggie_Shhh
And if he is genuinely feeling suicidal, why would they do this to him?
Why wouldn’t he object?
They’re just trying to aggravate the damages and he’s actually fine with that.
@EcuadorianMum
All those brave masked people.
If you were confident in your ideological position, then you’d be PROUD to be associated with your cause, wouldn’t you?
It’s funny then, how many want to hide their faces - their SEX - so people don’t clock this as a MEN’S RIGHTS MOVEMENT? 🤔
@MalesOfReddit
So, wait a minute … they lied and said they were female, presumably to attract a straight guy, and they think when they turn up, not as a woman, but as a man in a dress, there’s still a chance the date might go well? 😂😂😂
@inquisitrix
@eva_kurilova
Trans men are female, which is why they can give birth.
If trans men were male, they would not be able to, as you well know, disingenuous debater.
Australia has squandered its natural advantage. We are an island. We were covid-free for months after it first took off overseas. We saw the mutations coming.
With competent Federal management, we could have stayed relatively covid-free.

@DjokerNole
What about the Tennis Australia rule that you needed to have your exemption sorted before December 10, 2021?
To play, you either had to be fully vaxxed or have been COVID positive within 6 months of Dec 10.
You were neither, so you miss out, mate.
Nice deflection though 😉
@ChrisMinnsMP
Can you please explain how telling kids they aren’t actually gay, but were born the wrong sex, is NOT a form of gay conversion therapy?
Both the WPATH files & the Cass Review highlighted that many kids accessing services would grow up to be healthy gay adults if left alone.

Early induction refers to the process of birthing an already dead or non-viable foetus.
This is a tragedy for the parents, as the foetus at this stage of development would have been loved and wanted.
To twist this into something else is vile.
@Sal_Robins
@Urusai_naaa
Because it’s not a part of the body that might naturally form a callous around a wound, therefore it’s always trying to fix the wound.
Your body always knows what your body should do, even if your brain and “feelings” are in denial 😉
@luciemorrismarr
The upside of this tweet is that people are getting out to be tested, rather than spreading COVID around in an “I don’t give a fuck” way
@salltweets
And now watch the debate pivot back to “but she was raised as a girl, so she IS a woman, because trans women are women!”
This is why all the trans activists rallied to his side in the first place.
@Future_Harmony
@millihill
But that is reality; men CAN’T become women.
Sex is binary & immutable - it will never & can never change.
If this reality is “transphobic” then all that says is transgenderism is anti-reality.
I’ll sit with the realists, thanks.

It’s worse that you think.

*angry MALE critics.
There were lots of 🍆 among the protesters when I walked past.

In women’s changing rooms - in what way is this weird or controversial?
It’s literally in the description: changing out of one set of clothes and into another. Sometimes (at swimming pools) it involves getting naked.
Men wanting to be there too? That’s where the problem lies.
@ilovepreserves
Same as my nephew.
Obsessed with breasts to the point of needing to have his own to play with.
No gender dysphoria here, just a desire to live a pornified life 24/7 and not caring what other people think.
@antipovertycent
When my 17 year-old daughter’s 18 year old boyfriend moved in with us, Centrelink demanded that I “prove” he wasn’t MY partner.
Apparently “he’s *my daughter’s* boyfriend” (with photographic proof) and “I’m 54, and he’s 18” were not good enough reasons to believe me.
@Creamfacedloon
@KonstantinKisin
Gender dysphoria is real and, like other forms of body dysmorphia, people genuinely suffer.
By allowing those with AGP, fetishes &/or heterosexual narcissists to take centre stage, trans rights activists have (accidentally or not) thrown genuinely trans people under the bus.
@growinThroughIt
Yep.
If you have to enforce pronoun use so you don’t get “incorrectly” sexed, then you don’t look like the sex you’re claiming to be.
It’s human nature to view others as they appear to be.
If you’re obviously a bloke, even wearing a dress, expect to get he/him’ed.
@Bernard_Lane
@STILLTish
No mention of seeking any health intervention or support, even though her distress seems severe & genuine.
The fact she only sought advice “online”, wore binders & met with other “queer” people to help with her mental health issue is typical.
Wonder where she’ll be in 5 years🤔
@MalesOfReddit
Boys in Afghanistan don’t have to worry about being killed unless they come out as gay or GNC.
Being born male is a HUGE privilege; the reason so few men and boys “identify” outside sex/gender norms is because the know it’s not safe.
Girls don’t have that option, sadly.
@KetanJ0
Or … it might be because when Elon took over Twitter, a whole lot of lefties went off in a huff to Mastadon.

@Bernard_Lane
@KarrieboKarrie
Again - for those at the back - the problem is MEN!
Where are the “transmen” demanding access to males to perform intimate care regimes?
They don’t exist, because the reason for males transitioning (porn/fantasy/etc) is different to females transitioning (opting out of sexism).
@Serena_Partrick
Thankfully, we have had enough people speak out & be prepared to weather a backlash - yourself included - so we are now at a stage where we can say it & others are actually listening.

Get her volunteering at a hospital, child care centre or an aged care home.

@LogicIllustrat
THIS! If they know how awful it feels to be rejected for not being feminine enough, why not find another trans woman and cry on each other’s shoulders?
Why insist on inserting yourselves (literally!) into the lives of real women?
@KatyMontgomerie
Except for those women & girls who HAVE been assaulted by trans women.
Because, by head of population, there have been far more “trans women abusers of women & girls” than “women & girl abusers of trans women.”
And if you don’t understand why, see “male pattern violence”.
@TracyWesterman
In my years of experience in the child protection system I have become very aware of how subjective “neglect” is.
By today’s definition, anyone who was parented prior to the 1990s was neglected.
The threshold these days seems to be just not having a helicopter parent.
