Beki, one of them there women

Erm I seem to have acquired lots of new followers lately, which is lovely. I suppose I should say hello before you experience the mediocre and disappointments of what I waffle about (thread 1/666) There will be cats. Yes, I'm a dull feminist (not massively GC or radfem just a

@jk_rowling @bindelj I hereby publicly announce that I am non-finery. I do not identify as a person wearing elaborate clothing but rather comfortable, and frequently stained with chocolate attire. See also: peri-menopausal with no fucks given

@bindelj I hereby publicly announce that I am non-trinary. I identify as not man, not woman and not non-binary, because Laurie Penny just trashed that brand. I will be treating all questions on my new identity as though the asker is demanding nudes. You have been warned.

A transcript of the Laurie Penny on Piers Morgan shit show. They/them is truly the grift that keeps on giving: (Piers Morgan) Blaire's a trans woman. Why don't we let her answer? (Laurie Penny) I'm also transgender. (Piers Morgan) Which trans are you, if you don't mind me asking? (Laurie Penny) I'm non -binary. (Piers Morgan) What does that mean? (Laurie Penny) I'm a non -binary person. I use they, them pronouns. Sorry, are we going to spend... Do we really want to spend the rest of this discussing my personal gender identity? (Piers Morgan) You're the one who mentioned it. I didn't even know. (Blaire White) This is a nightmare. (Piers Morgan) Okay, so now I know. I'm just asking you what that means. (Laurie Penny) Like, do you really want to discuss this? (Piers Morgan) You raised the subject of yourself being trans. I'm simply asking... (Blaire White) Can I finish my point? It's always a non -binary person speaking over a transsexual. (Piers Morgan) It's really interesting to me. You raised it, not me. I didn't even know. So now you've raised it. What does that actually mean? What do you mean, you're non -binary? (Laurie Penny) Are you really, really just gonna... (Piers Morgan) Can you explain it? (Laurie Penny) Are you gonna cut Blaire off now? (Piers Morgan) I'm just asking you to explain. I'll come back to Blaire in a moment. (Blaire White) Well, you were the one that cut me off, Sis, but I will say... (Piers Morgan) Sorry, Blaire, wait one second. I just want to ask, what do you mean by non -binary? (Laurie Penny) When I say I'm non -binary, I'm expressing my identity in a way that I have a right to do. What does that mean? (Piers Morgan) I'm sorry? (Piers Morgan) What's your sexuality? (Laurie Penny) My sexuality? It doesn't have anything to do with my sexuality. (Piers Morgan) Actually, the UK government now says that people are male or female. The British Prime Minister says people are male or female. (Laurie Penny) I don't think the UK government should have the final say on how I express myself and how I'm treated. Well, they determine the laws of the country. I'm just curious what you mean by non -binary. (Piers Morgan) What does that mean? (Laurie Penny) I go by they/them pronouns. (Piers Morgan) What does that mean? This is only one of you. What does they, them... (Laurie Penny) Actually, they, them has been... The collective they has been used to refer to individual people for centuries and still is. So, if you don't understand basic grammar, that's on you. (Piers Morgan) I don't understand. I've got to be honest with you. I don't understand the concept of what non -binary means or why you would use a plural pronoun to describe a singular person. To me, this is the problem with the whole woke thing. It's inexplicable. Nobody really knows what it means. I don't know what you mean by non -binary, they, them. There's one of you sitting here, and you look to me, female. You're a female. Are you a female? (Laurie Penny) If you don't understand what non -binary means... (Piers Morgan) Are you a female? (Laurie Penny) If you don't understand what non -binary means, then I'm not sure you're in a position to lead a debate. (Piers Morgan) So just tell me. But if you can't explain it in simple language, then what's the point? (Blaire White) Explain what non -binary is. I can tell you exactly what being a transsexual is. (Laurie Penny) It means that my gender identity is something other than man or woman. I'm a non -binary individual. (Piers Morgan) But you accept you're a female? (Laurie Penny) I don't think that I'm here to discuss the contents of my underpants. (Piers Morgan) You raised this whole thing. I didn't mention anything about what you were. You did. You said, I'm trans. (Laurie Penny) This has really become uncomfortably personal. Has it? (Piers Morgan) You said it, not me.

I see actors are signing open letters again, this time about the Supreme Court ruling. Every time my mind jumps straight to youtu.be/qOH9trJLedk?si…

Funny, isn’t it, how women who’ve been raped or beaten are accused of ‘weaponising’ their trauma when they ask for male-free spaces, but trans-identified men who claim using the Gents has a higher mortality rate than armed combat are met with credulity and simpering concern.

@EilishMccolgan Congratulations 🥳

Absolutely worth the jet lag. YES to forever! 💍🏔 ❤️

@JaneFeathersto1 What the hell is right wing in recognising many women are more comfortable with female led intimate care/procedure? They may have trauma, religious beliefs etc but guess what they DONT have to justify that requirement to you or anyone.

Why not? Have you had a male consultant gynaecologist? Bet you have .. all right wing bullshit from you yet again

@BraddockBessie @AyoCaesar Not to mention the SC clarification confirms trans men retain pregnancy and maternity protections but maybe she thinks they should lose those in place of putting a legal sex fiction first 🤷‍♀️

@AyoCaesar No one's forcing women, including those who've gone to great lengths to look like men, to use the Ladies. What's been clarified is that no MEN are allowed to invade the Ladies. The SC also provided guidance on when TM may be excluded too, so I'll expect a stunned silence from you

That stunned silence when someone is confronted by the fact that if you force everyone who was born female to use the ladies' loo, that means transgender men will be in there too.

This isn't OK. Men need their space to...men need their bonding time away from women. Brenda and any other woman who has invaded this space is in the wrong. They should go and make a woman in sheds, leave the men alone. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@jk_rowling The fact so many people missed The A-Team reference is further evidence of our failing education system imho.

If I'd known how much I'd enrage embittered misogynists by smoking a cigar, I'd have had six.

Absolutely *brutal* cut to Rosie Duffield by the Parliamentary Broadcasting Unit #PMQs

@DreyfusJames @KarabergKara @bindelj “World renowned heterosexuals James Dreyfus and Julie Bindel” is how I want any and all photos of you together captioned

Sometimes, just sometimes, an interaction between two troggs is so precious & blessèd, that it surely is a personal gift from baby Jesu himself… …open screenshot below & you too can share in my heavenly joy… I give you @KarabergKara & @windupgemma @bindelj get a load of these prannies… I can’t stop laughing..🤣🤣 Thank you @BettsCaro for finding… Please RT for maximum reach. This is TOO good…

Dear @Keir_Starmer this is the toxic masculinity & misogyny you have said you are so worried about. When are you going to condemn it? Why are these men’s threats of violence to women consequence free when others have been pursued with such vigour?

@HumanGayMale Especially given they won’t and the judgement addressed this specifically 😂

How is it these people think that pointing out "transmen" will have to use female single-sex spaces is somehow a great gotcha argument?

@Phoebe2403 It’s all true. All those awful signs being held by the TRAs over the weekend - terfs ran in, superglued the signs into their hands and ran off again. The hate ful and threatening speeches - terfs throwing their voices. Facts.

So so so many lies. The biggest one being that he’s ever even been to a demo. I wonder how his followers would feel if they knew how gullible and stupid he thinks they are 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Docstockk @ucu I hope everyone got to watch the superb documentary on unions on ITV2 this Easter Monday. If you. Wed to look it up it’s called “Carry On At Your Convenience”

In a sane union, this would be a real embarrassment. Internal meetings would be hastily organised, stern words would be exchanged, an apology or disclaimer might even be issued. But in dear old batshit @UCU, it's just another day at the top.

@jk_rowling @askaya As someone who is FATTITY FAT FAT, please try harder. Just being FAT is a bit passé.

@askaya This is a very insensitive question. It's far too soon for me to even think of recovery. The most I'm capable of right now is existing second to second, barely clinging on to life and sanity as I reel from the news that I'm FAT. Cake might help, though, if you've got any spare.

Not just fat. FAT.

@Sal_Robins @RichOnTheRadio The forced teaming of the great oppressed and those who want to be so they can be in a tribe. Intersectionality at its finest 🙄

@gwpurnell @jk_rowling

@jk_rowling One of each gender.

Only a thousand? #disappointed

@jessesingal Only because you’ve found out she’s a primo 😉😁

I really don't think J.K. Rowling should be murdered.

@DreyfusJames Put them altogether and you’d still struggle to hit a double digit IQ

I’m still not convinced a Fraggle Rock reboot was necessary, frankly…

@GerryHassan Saying they are sick and mentally ill is probably the kinder assumption. The alternative is to suggest these are totally sane individuals, who are behaving in such vile and frightening ways with full faculty - is that what you think of them?

Is this really an appropriate way for a MSP or anyone in public to talk abt people & an issue? We need to call out hate & bigotry wherever it comes from. But not add to it & the vile toxification of people & using mental health as an insult. A new low for Murdo Fraser.
