What you mean your finely worded question is how do men get what they want without women complaining about losing their rights? Who else gained their rights social rights at the cost of someone else losing theirs? Who lost their rights when women got the right to vote? A right withheld by … men.

My recent graduate daughter still shares her location with me (and vice versa). As long as I don't overstep her privacy, I think she finds it reassuring (so far). Her generation routinely share location with their peers on Snapchat, for eg.

There you go again. "Doctors say". Doctors used to say that women suffered symptoms caused by their wombs "wandering". Doctors have been wrong many times. The scientists who claim that "gender identity" can make a male person a woman are not doing science. They're doing the ideology of misogyny.

You admit, even if you don't acknowledge that you do, that you believe that EVERYONE has a "gender identity" that is what determines whether they are man or woman. This is simply false. There is no evidence to support it that can't be better explained otherwise.

Your ideology holds that *everyone* has a "gender identity". That needs only one example to refute.

Helen @susanshox.bsky.social · 18/08/2026
It is at least a quasi religious term when used to make the fantastical claim that some women are male. You are borrowing authority for *your* use of "cis" to make that exact claim even tho its scientific use does not refer to human subjective identity claims.

You are trying to use credentialism to force acceptance of a term and, by extension, the idea you are promoting by using it. It can't work bc the idea itself is tosh. 'Gender identity" is not a widespread, never mind universal, experience. *Everyone* has a(n immutable) sex.

You cant make "commonly accepted" bring about a change of material reality either. If everyone in the entire world "accepted" that men can become women, it would still be untrue.

Helen @susanshox.bsky.social · 18/08/2026
In this conversation, you are using it to prop up the notion that a person can be a man or a woman regardless of their sex. No credentials, of speaker or vocabulary, can overcome the plain fact that that is untrue.

It also has 3 letters. That has as much relevance to your usage of the term as the fact that it’s a “scientific” word.

Don't underestimate how baked in this projection is. These things succeed bc they use existing biases that everyone is inculcated with, albeit some more successfully than others. I don't excuse everyone but I think it helps to understand the problem.

Patriarchy. The entirety of human society is built upon the notion that women are nothing but a projection of what men need and want them to be. Anything that threatens to upend that will be opposed, subverted, distorted & inverted.

Does my question make you uncomfortable? Maybe you can't bring yourself to say that women who have been raped by men should be forced to share space with males - bc you know that is despicable- but you can't face the consequences of saying otherwise bc you fear the people who call themselves "kind".

Helen @susanshox.bsky.social · 19/07/2026
That doesn't answer the question. All else aside, do you think a woman who has been raped by a male perpetrator should have access to support to recover from that in space where she can be sure no male person - however blameless - will be? Or do you think she should not have that?

Do you think that a woman who has been sexually assaulted and who, like most of the women who make up 80% of SA victims, wants female only support should have access to that? Or not?

There is no SLAPP. There is a threat of legal action as a reasonable response to false claims published by Amnesty. You are safe bc you are an insignificant keyboard warrior with zero credibility. Your word can’t harm anyone’s reputation. Run along now, 🧌 www.sra.org.uk/solicitors/g...

Strategic Lawsuits against Public Participation (SLAPPs) - Warning notice
Warning notice: there is a concern that solicitors and firms are engaged in a type of abusive litigation, known as strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPPs), on behalf of their clients.

A threat of legal action exists. It is a justified & appropriate response to the reputational damage of false claims. Or are you actually arguing that any attempt to fight back against defamation is illicit?

I didn't say she didn't threaten legal action. She didn't. A legal threat isn't SLAPP just bc you agree with the defamation it's resisting.

Those claims are false. Amnesty knows this. Your insignificance is the main thing that protects you from repercussions for making them. Amnesty has no such shield.

If Amnesty had evidence to substantiate the claim that various orgs, all small, mostly volunteer run & incl a rape crisis support service were "anti-rights", why would they have withdrawn the report, confirming that they will not republish? Fear of litigation doesn't cut it. This *is* Amnesty.

Helen @susanshox.bsky.social · 18/07/2026
US law is different. The report was produced by the UK arm and is subject to UK law. IANAL but perhaps its continued dissemination in ither territories will simply add to Amnesty's financial liability. Calling various orgs "anti-rights" bc they disagree with trans ideology is false & defamatory.

How would you know what insults women, David? How dare you presume to tell me how I should feel about Amnesty’s attack on groups that defend sex-based rights simply bc they do, or your defence of it? Shame on you.

Says the man who thinks a straight woman has no right to comment on a movement dedicated to strip women of all our rights and protections. And who refuses to explain why I should not be accepted as a gay man if I "identify" as one but a man must be accepted as a woman on no better evidence.

Try insulting literally any other discriminated against group than women with snark like that and see how you think it looks. Misogyny is the bigotry that clings on harder than any other bc it clings hardest in the men who call themselves "feminist".
