@WomenAreReals @gonochoric @SF_TERF_CENTRAL @Sac_TERF_Ca @SashaAguilar69 @BLoquaciou72958 @aVeryGoodTyrone @AmandaKovattana @mellow_vello @marli_ca Wait so he married a woman who says she’s a guy and also works for him??

Remarkable conversation between two men that touches on women’s boundary violations & young women’s struggles to accept their sexuality, yet somehow the men can’t (or won’t) see how it all connects to women. You know, the female kind. It shows how close some men can get to seeing the problem, only to keep wandering in the wilderness: 1) @jonlovett brings up Sam Brinton, but the only comments are sarcastic: It was pretty exciting. Not a good look. It was fantastic. 2) Sedaris observes young women’s distaste with the word “lesbian,” but no deeper analysis here. 3) Sedaris correctly observes that “queer” doesn’t tell him anything and goes on to detail a story about a “queer 12 year-old.” Lovett dismisses this as an “edge case” and quickly changes the subject. Later in the conversation Sedaris mentions his irritation that “queer”includes people in heterosexual relationships, which is ironic since Lovett calls himself gay and is currently married to a woman. @Glinner

@PronouncedHare Also spelling is hard

This is false. To remove someone is to cut short a tenure he or she was otherwise entitled to hold. Brown didn’t remove anyone. Their terms expired and he declined to reappoint them. The difference between that and removal is significant and material.

Don't let NZ get to this point, people, MP's. @BillboardChris just got arrested for standing out in public saying things like 'kids can't consent to puberty blockers' and 'no child is born in the wrong body'. @letkidsbekidsnz @judge148 @lesbianresist @Sidewalk_Steve

Excerpt from the latest Gender Clinic News today. Professor of public ethics at Charles Sturt University Clive Hamilton “surveys the Australian scene, noting the mistreatment of dissenting psychiatrists Dr Jillian Spencer and Dr Andrew Amos”. We need more ethicists like this 👏🏻

The moment this sanctimonious “Be Kind” ideologue gets introduced to a detransitioner after arrogantly demanding “Have you ever MET one?” 😘👌😂10/10

@aniobrien Also, spelling is hard: x.com/KatrinaBiggs2/… “ideological”

So the story is that a minister has made ministerial appointments as he is responsible for doing? thepost.co.nz/politics/36102…

I realize you were put on testosterone at 14 and doctors sliced off your healthy breasts six months later but other kids should still be able to have that happen to them so "I just disagree with you."

@g_garison @WomenAreReals @SF_TERF_CENTRAL @Sac_TERF_Ca @SashaAguilar69 @BLoquaciou72958 @aVeryGoodTyrone @AmandaKovattana @mellow_vello @marli_ca Lovett when he’s recounting the story is wild. He looks like a man who doesn’t believe the cult anymore but is trapped inside it.

@WomenAreReals @SF_TERF_CENTRAL @Sac_TERF_Ca @SashaAguilar69 @BLoquaciou72958 @aVeryGoodTyrone @AmandaKovattana @mellow_vello @marli_ca 1) A man in Biden's administration stole suitcases and wore the women's clothes in them. And yet Lovett respects his "their" non-binary persona via pronouns.

@g_garison @WomenAreReals @SF_TERF_CENTRAL @Sac_TERF_Ca @SashaAguilar69 @BLoquaciou72958 @aVeryGoodTyrone @AmandaKovattana @mellow_vello @marli_ca What in the fuck is the bit about “parents with VERY naughty children” about?!?

@WomenAreReals @SF_TERF_CENTRAL @Sac_TERF_Ca @SashaAguilar69 @BLoquaciou72958 @aVeryGoodTyrone @AmandaKovattana @mellow_vello @marli_ca Straight people can be queer. Queer is not a sexual preference. It's a subversively political way of life in oppositional relation to status quo. The women rejecting the term "lesbian" do this to reject the oppression of the M/F distinction. David Halperin, Saint Foucault, 1995:

@steadylunes @crowoniii Because these people live in fantasyland and the plain objective reality is pretty painful. Similar for trans-identified males and anime girl avatars

@crowoniii Why is this a tiger? Are you people not human?

your demisexual pride month reminder there’s a BIG difference between only ever experiencing sexual attraction under a specific circumstance and abstaining from sex until you feel comfortable in a relationship

I will be taking legal action against the police in Madrid. Upon thorough review of various laws, they have committed numerous infractions while violating my rights, and I will not let this go unchallenged.

This is exactly why I stopped being a member of @amnestyuk after being an active volunteer for 40years. #womensrights are #humanrights Thank you @jan_murray unherd.com/newsroom/trans…

@JuliaHB1 At least she’s a struck-off doctor

This. From a doctor. Is terrifying.

@jan_murray The first rule of trans is: trans loved experience is everything, everyone else’s lived experience is actually bigotry

Apparently I am using my experience of having breast cancer 'as a weapon to attack art depicting trans people' .... it just gets better and better 🙄

And who exactly conducted this peer review of clinical standards that contains an entire chapter on Eunuch as a valid gender identity requiring eunuch-affirming castration? What team of neutral trustworthy experts peer-reviewed the non-binary chapter that says people should have the right to customize their bodies in whatever way they choose — such as nullification surgeries so the body has no external sex characteristics or bigenital surgeries if a person wants both sets of genitals? And who peer-reviewed the hasty post-publication removal of almost all the lower age limits from the adolescent chapter because Admiral Rachel Levine demanded it purely for political purposes? The very idea that WPATH's SOC8 is peer-reviewed is absolutely hilarious. Of course the truth is, when the guidelines in this field were actually examined in a peer-reviewed systematic review as part of the Cass Report, the conclusion was that WPATH and the Endocrine Society had engaged in a process of circular citations to manufacture the illusion of consensus when their recommendations are built upon nothing but ideology and the flimsiest of evidence. This led Cass to conclude that WPATH's standards, and all built upon them, "lack developmental rigour." These fanatics are fully deserving of all the language I used in the podcast. And much much worse.

I was a teenage girl who had my healthy breasts removed, and so were all the other “boys” you’re talking about. feelings in a child’s brain to not make normal development a medical condition. female children cannot have gynecomastia.

@KatrinaBiggs2 The article’s a mess too, internal repetition plus the whole council wasn’t replaced, just some not reappointed

NZ Health Minister Simeon Brown has not reappointed the Medical Council’s leaders, due to their blatant ideological agenda. Excerpt: You only need to look at the council’s recent consultation documents, which ask doctors to examine their own ‘privilege’, to challenge the ‘dominant culture’ of the health system, to study the difference between cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation, and to help ‘dismantle’ systems,” Brown told The Post stuff.co.nz/politics/36099…
