How quickly they're reduced to sexist slurs. He's a left wing, apparently. Trans allies are misogynists. As for 'correct pronouns'. I don't care.

It's hilarious that they think calling a woman sir is upsetting. I don't care *because* I'm a woman. With allies like these who needs enemies?

It is wild, when you think about it, that a social media platform can declare women 'intolerant' simply for defending women's rights. No harassment, no abuse, no targeting, no slurs: just feminism. And that label is celebrated by so-called left wing progressives who pretend to support women.

Mandy's a rescue cat. She was found living in a wall space surrounded by her feral kittens. She was tired, hungry, angry. Ten years on, her space is her own and she chases tom cats out of her garden. You might say she's a TERF: Tom exclusionary remarkable furball. I love her.

'Trans women are women' mantra exists *because* * men demanding access to women's and girls' single-sex spaces & services * male rapists in women's prisons * men redefining what it is to be a woman * men adopting sexist stereotypes to claim femininity equals woman are all objectively appalling.

We are. We're talking about all male violence, about any and males who breach women's and girls boundaries, about the systemic and social prioritising of men's feelings and careers above women's lives. We're talking about men - it inevitably includes those men who wish they were women.

It's a relief he's 'not sure' about killing feminists. Perhaps, though, rather than 're-education', it's time to recognise women's shared experience, our intelligence, ability to examine & evaluate social, political, legislative impacts on our lives, our historical & global feminist activism.

Staggers me that politicians are continuing with the lie 'trans women are women'. There'd be sympathy for these men who wish they were women, support in demanding their safety in male spaces, if they didn't demand access to women's and girls' single-sex spaces and services. Women have rights too.

I'm not sure which is the most insensitive of 'trans activists' go-to arguments. Comparing the single-sex spaces and services women fought for to brutal segregation black people suffered. Claiming trans people face a 'genocide' as many thousands the world over try to survive. Both are hideous.

My arguing against any and all males accessing to women's and girls' single-sex spaces and services is only 'intolerant' if you can't tolerate women's and girls' safety, privacy, dignity and equality.

The RNLI is the closest you will ever get to actual Batman. When rescue is visibly, viscerally, obviously impossible; when the water is a smothering, thundering black wall and the wind is screaming straight from Hell; when you are absolutely going to die: someone’s hand pulls you out and you don’t.

'Trans rights are human rights', 'trans women are women' & 'Brexit means Brexit'. These are meaningless slogans to deflect from the absence of a rational argument. We all have the same human rights - none of us has a special extra right to violate the rights of others.

Quick feminist analysis. Q: Does the motion acknowledge women's legal & human rights to equality? A: No. Q. Does the motion benefit males or females? A: Primarily males at the expense of females. Conclusion: motion reinforces power relations between the sexes. This is patriarchy.

Men being given access to the single-sex spaces, services, political autonomy women fought for over centuries isn't "human rights" it's patriarchy, it's misogyny, it's inequality, it's unfair. An injury to one woman by denying her hard-won rights to privacy, safety, dignity is an injury to all.

There's no "moral courage" in prioritising men who wish they were women over actual women. There's no "moral courage" in handing those men spaces women fought for. There's no "moral courage" in cheering them as they deny women sporting achievements. Stop dehumanising women or get out of our way.
