Algy Pulls It Off

@HeadWarriorTWM @stuff1989 @HJoyceGender Not saying it's the only route, but sissy porn and 'sissyfication' is very strongly linked with male transition. It's one of the terminuses of heavy porn usage and ever-growing desensitisation. The ultimate taboo: becoming the slutty pornstar you've been objectifying for years.

@DoomedPoor @stuff1989 @HJoyceGender Nope, not my experience, they have been around for decades, porn has very little do with it I imagine in most cases. They covet.

If men attack other men in men's toilets, this is a problem for men to solve. It's nothing to do with women. If allowing those men into our spaces raises our risk even a little, that's unacceptable. (Of course OJ's calculations are invented.)

@stuff1989 @HeadWarriorTWM @HJoyceGender and swing wildly in the opposite direction, becoming parodies of femininity, pornified and submissive.

@stuff1989 @HeadWarriorTWM @HJoyceGender In a nutshell: they're so macho they can't show any vulnerability and therefore can't get the genuine tenderness in a relationship everyone craves; so in desperation (and with the help of a porn addiction) they 'become the object of their own desire'...

@yipopov @FightWithMemes Works though.

@FightWithMemes Dowser are essentially marksmen that pat themselves on the shoulder for hitting a barn door at point blank range.

Multiple societies in the world still can't do this.

@james_rands I remember having a bit of cod with a vague ghostly headline imprinted upon it. I'm 62, might have been from the pretend newspaper stuff.

Do you remember fish and chips wrapped in newspaper? That was good wasn't it? Proper British takeaway. Walking to the shop with your Mam on a Friday night - it was either an affordable treat or a luxury few could afford depending upon who you ask. Thing is...

This last minute addition to the guidance doesn't come from the Equality Act. It should be ✂️ and put in the 🗑️ sex-matters.org/posts/updates/…

Do you have any evidence to back up this claim about violence, Owen? I have been unable to find a single news report of a trans woman being subjected to any violence in a men's toilet in the UK. As for 'humiliation and abuse', if trans women don't want to use unisex or accessible loos (why not? I do all the time 🤷)do you think the answer might be in educating men to be more accepting and tolerant rather than asking women to be human shields? Why don't you lead by example and state how welcome a trans woman would be in the gents with you?

@TonyGoldSE @MickMacMathuna @owenjonesjourno We don’t share your peculiar belief that trans women are all shy little flowers oppressed by society and the most victimy victims that have ever lived.

@MickMacMathuna @owenjonesjourno It's not the bigotry, it's the stupidity. The inability to read a statement, understand it and use logical reasoning to get the impact and what may or may not resolve it. And the total lack of empathy. The inability to spend a moment in someone else's shoes.

The risk of a trans woman being abused or assaulted in the men’s toilet per visit = extremely high. The risk of a woman being abused or assaulted in the women’s toilet per visit = extremely low.

@Naeluckmate @owenjonesjourno Very good idea.

@owenjonesjourno It’s not women’s problem. Make the gents all gender neutral if you’re happy sharing with women LARPing as men then and leave women the fuck alone.

@happyfantasticc @unherd What’s really frightening is how this reality-denying ideology swept through the political and media establishments and all the institutions, corrupted the Law, and was imposed on us in such an undemocratic and savagely authoritarian way. A modern madness.

@unherd @sarahditum But these Origin Story episodes draw much *from* the source; her interviews, podcasts and endless tweets, repeatedly referencing them directly. So.. not sure what the ‘point’ of this even is tbh. It’s a grim, frightening story, to any non Terf, especially the second part. Brr..

JK Rowling mansplained, by Sarah Ditum (@sarahditum) What happened to JK Rowling? If only there were some kind of primary source that could tell us why she became interested in the clash between trans activism and women’s rights — say, a first-person essay. But alas, the archive is silent. It must be, because why else would two male podcasters have taken it upon themselves to solve this supposed mystery? This week, the ‘Origin Story’ podcast, hosted by indistinguishable journalists Ian Dunt and Dorian Lynskey, bravely shouldered the burden of analysing Rowling over the course of two episodes. Do they succeed? Not remotely. But they do offer a fascinating insight into what happens when a certain kind of progressive man becomes radicalised by Bluesky. Read more below ⬇️ buff.ly/fyIiwWg

@DanStylus @JamesPatton_1 Jump over to Grok and ask it 'In the Gaza war did Israel carpet bomb civilian areas?'

@DoomedPoor @JamesPatton_1 So Israel didn't overthink who's innocent and who isn't apparently..

I'll make it clear, if you follow me and are anti Jew fuck off

@TheAliasAlias @JamesPatton_1 So you’re saying that historically oppressed groups probably deserved it. Wow. Is this Woke 2.0?

@DanStylus @JamesPatton_1 You seem to be talking from a position of quite astonishing ignorance. Hamas used international aid money to build a vast military network of underground tunnels in which they deliberately hid, using their own people as human shields.

@JamesPatton_1 That's the problem really Israel have taken it out on innocent people on a huge scale who aren't terrorists. Then there's so many people saying that's justified just because they're the same ethnicity as the terrorists. That's basically hate and it causes hate in return to Jews.

@Claire54783043 @sharrond62 @TrevorPTweets @AjaTheEmpress @EHRC It’s data from the Ministry of Justice.

@DoomedPoor @sharrond62 @TrevorPTweets @AjaTheEmpress @EHRC They're not have looked at them as usual is basterdised data and linguistics.

My thoughts on the @EHRC guidance laid yesterday; this is not about non-existent "rights". It is about the safety of women - mothers, sisters, wives, daughters. We men need to hear their voices. Virginia Woolf : "Though we see the same world, we see it through different eyes". My intro on @TimesRadio yesterday: Where I live there are two different routes to and from the tube station. One, let’s call it Acacia Avenue, is quiet and residential. The other, London Road, is a busy major route with lots of traffic. At all times of the day, I automatically head for Acacia Road. It’s just much nicer. The women in my family, on the other hand, will never willingly make that walk after dark. They live with an anxiety that most men find it hard to imagine, and frankly, rarely think about unprompted. Last year 739,000 women were sexually assaulted in Britain. Virtually all such assaults - nine out of ten - are perpetrated by men. One in four women have been attacked at some time in their lives. Acacia Avenue is exactly the sort of place in which most women fear that they become vulnerable, and they are right. As the author Virginia Woolf once wrote " Though we see the same world, we see it through different eyes". I think this is the right context in which to understand the furore over the guidance being laid today by the government, over the meaning of the words man and woman when it comes to providing services and facilities in workplaces. Many men think this is about a rather arcane dispute about who gets to use what loo. For their mothers, sisters, wives and daughters, it isn’t. In a previous life, as Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, I had a hand in writing this country’s equality laws, in particular the 2010 Equality Act. It never occurred to any of us that there could be any confusion or dispute over the meaning of the words man and woman. But it has taken a decade of campaigning, a Supreme Court judgement and now hundreds of pages of guidance to settle the issue. This is not about so called trans rights, which are completely unaffected by this guidance, since no-one has ever had the right to walk into a changing room reserved for teenage girls. What it does mean is that women and girls are guaranteed the protection they deserve, and that their safety, which we spent half a decade drafting law to ensure, is protected. But the whole business illuminates some serious issues in our politics. First that many of our institutions, in spite of the fact that they always knew what the right thing to do was, decided to ignore the fears of their women customers and employees, under pressure from noisy pressure groups. Instead, the people who were supposed to be the grown ups behaved as though the law said what campaigners wanted it to say, rather than what it actually said. They settled for what they hoped would be a quiet life. In a democracy, there’s little point in Parliament deciding anything if the law is then made an ass by activists intimidating bosses in companies, schools, universities and the media into doing something different. Second, at the heart of the campaign to undermine the Equality Act is an idea that we specifically rejected in 2010, so called self-identification. That is to say, that it should be up to the individual to decide whether they have what’s called a protected characteristic - are you male or female, are you black or white. The problem is that self-ID would destroy the operation of any law against discrimination. Look, it would almost certainly have been to my advantage as a young man to self-identify as a handsome, white public schoolboy. None of those things is true of me. And at various points I am pretty sure it’s been to my disadvantage. It is certainly statistically likely to have been to my disadvantage. But according to the logic of those who say that self-ID should be the rule and that anyone should be able to decide for themselves whether they are male or female, black or white or Asian, were I to complain about racial discrimination, it would be difficult for anyone prove that I’d been discriminated against because of my race since anybody to whom I’d lost out could just tell the courts that they too were black. I know that sounds like Alice in Wonderland but you can google the case where a chap, both of whose parents are white, insisted he should get money from the Arts Council because he so identified with the black struggle that he considered himself black, and everyone should accept his point of view. In the United States and Brazil exactly such outlandish claims have been made and people rewarded to the disadvantage of people actually born into minority families. I have even been told about firms who, when reporting their gender pay gaps have put men who just happen to like wearing dresses at weekends - nothing wrong with that, let me be clear - into the female column and told their women employees that they really haven’t got anything to moan about because statistically they are paid equally, and they should get back in their box. So today’s guidance isn’t just another tiresome chapter in culture wars. It is , I hope, a halt to the efforts to undermine one of the most important pieces of legislation on the statute book, by people who, for their own reasons, would prefer us to be living in the 1950s world of Mad Men.

@mistymeana @sharrond62 @TrevorPTweets @AjaTheEmpress @EHRC They are MoJ figures obtained by a freedom of information request.

@sharrond62 @TrevorPTweets @AjaTheEmpress @EHRC I recall my A level maths tutor quoting to us: “There are lies, damned lies and statistics”. You’ve just illustrated that perfectly.

@Claire54783043 @sharrond62 @TrevorPTweets @AjaTheEmpress @EHRC No, the figures are accurate. Trans women in UK prisons have convictions for sexual offences at a rate 2-3 times higher than male prisoners in general.

@sharrond62 @TrevorPTweets @AjaTheEmpress @EHRC There bastardised MOJ figures. They compared think was ten years of data to one. It keeps changing also. From 47 to 75 latest was 62% Also even if was true would be in no way representative of normal Trans population. It's disgusting, insideous of u to spread that misinformation

@shes_ella_rishe @EnarialP @SilviaOvejero16 @DanniBrener It's not all about you. Your presence there makes women and girls alarmed and uncomfortable, especially if they've been victims of male sexual violence, and normalises males entering female same-sex spaces which predatory males will exploit.

I have never had such a resolute and definitive "NO" to give in response to a question. I prefer to not be perceived at all, nor to perceive and get out as fast as possible. I've tried the mens room before and it's awkward and chaotic. All the men think they're in the wrong bathroom. It feels more socially cohesive to be where no one thinks my existence is out of the ordinary. Not every trans person is like me, but more are than you might think. I've never met a transwoman who is not abhorred by the idea of using the womens restrooms for kicks, enjoyment or sexual thrill.

@EnarialP @DoomedPoor @SilviaOvejero16 @DanniBrener I can't answer that question for you

@janeclarejones @ElaineC54590844 Daily Mail called them ‘Travellers’ ie gypsies.

@ElaineC54590844 Can you give me the reference from a reputable source for the claim that it was because they didn’t understand our cultural values, and your implicit claim about the ethnicity of the perpetrators, because I haven’t seen that in the reporting.

Fundamentally misunderstanding the nature of the problem. Cultural relativism is the issue. The men were let off because of low IQ and a failure to understand our cultural values, not to mention our laws.

How can threatening girls at knifepoint before raping them possibly reflect "a limited understanding of consent"? theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/m…
