I had to create this user to express my disdain after seeing some disgusting stuff here on Twitter.
It’s my favorite time of year: when Europeans explain to people in Louisiana that it feels hotter when there’s humidity
A cross-dressing man and a trans woman are not the same.
Moments after court adjourned, Sall Grover ran to her dad and started sobbing into his shoulder. The law is very clear: discrimination against trans women is not acceptable. Thanks to all involved for reaffirming this in such a powerful way. #TickleVGiggle
"This is what diversity looks like in power" Dr Q Manivannan is one of two transgender MSPs elected to Holyrood in first for Scottish parliament
It makes no difference how politely the person who wishes to compel my speech makes the request. The very making of the request tells me the man in question thinks he has the right to control my language, and thereby, to control me. He is asking me to acquiesce in a lie, to pretend, implicitly, that he and I are the same. It is an act of dominance, which is why the women discussing this with you keep using the word 'demand', as opposed to your preferred 'request'. In the current political climate, any request to use opposite sex pronouns when talking about a trans-identified man carries a threat. It is highly disingenuous to pretend you don't know that many women and girls have been put through absolute hell over the past few years, either for refusing to pretend men can be women, or for hurting an individual trans-identified man's vanity, even unintentionally. I'm assuming that if someone put a gun to your head and told you to hand over all your money you wouldn't much care how sweetly they'd asked. That's where increasing numbers of women are on this issue. They're sick of having a metaphorical gun held to their head, of the ever-present threat of being investigated, reported, harassed, sacked, defamed and dragged into court - simply because they won't pretend men are women. All you've been doing for the past two days is prove exactly how shallow your understanding is, not only of this issue, but of what women have already lost and endured. This makes your patronising 'just be nice, ladies,' lectures even more offensive.
Natalie Portman is pregnant with her third child, her first with partner Tanguy Destable.
Disgusting when there's international fascist movements centering around the persecution of LGBTQ+ people that anybody would still work for and support the Harry Potter franchise. (including the audio book filth cowards)
