ICYMI minutes of NHS Puberty Blocker Research Board from March obtained via FOI Have the rest from May 2023. DM me for all the files and/or RT Politburo-style brevity and "3.6 roentgen: not great, not terrible" framing is (almost) comical. drive.google.com/file/d/1EMpQpX… .@JamesEsses

A man ‘making an effort’ to look like a woman does not put me more at ease if he is in the same locker room as me. Hope that helps!

Duncan Bannatyne backing away from Andy Burnham tells you something important. This is not some niche online row. This is where Labour’s problem with normal voters becomes impossible to hide. Burnham has spent years cultivating the image of a straight-talking, sensible, working-class Labour figure. Less Westminster. More real world. A politician who “gets it”. Then he backs self-ID and questions guidance protecting women’s toilets for biological women. That is the dividing line. Because for millions of people, this is not complicated. Women’s toilets are for women. Female-only spaces exist for a reason. Privacy matters. Boundaries matter. Biology matters. Labour politicians keep pretending this is an obscure culture-war trap. It isn’t. It is a basic test of whether they can say something true when activists are watching. Burnham failed that test. And if he cannot defend women’s spaces without equivocation, why should anyone believe he has the courage to lead the country?

The Heretical Liberal 🇨🇦
The Heretical Liberal 🇨🇦@Rob_ThaBuilder·
I'm 43 now, and I've now seen three distinct phases in my life regarding attitudes towards gender/sex. Here's a handy guide for determining which one is the correct take: 1) Pre-1990ish: "Little Billy can't play with dolls b/c he's a boy and everyone knows boys don't play with dolls" ❌ 2) 1990-2010: "Little Billy can play with dolls if he wants, boys can play with dolls. It doesn't make him any less of a boy" ✅ 3) 2010 - Present : "Little Billy IS a girl because he plays with dolls, because everyone knows boys don't play with dolls" ❌ As we can see, #2 is the correct choice. #1 and #3 are examples of toxic right wing gender norms, and toxic left wing gender norms, respectively. That's the funny thing about gender ideology; despite its adherents loud claims that they are somehow smashing traditional gender-based norms and stereotypes, they're actually rigidly enforcing them. The truly enlightened viewpoint is that there is no right or wrong way to be a boy or girl and kids should feel free to explore and play with whatever they want without activists with an agenda slapping an inappropriate label on them and forcing them into a pathway towards lifelong medicalization and dependency on Big Pharma.

If any men out there are furious at not being able to enter women’s spaces - I suggest you direct your anger at the Customer Services Manager at @StonewallUK. They told you (and your employer) that you had the right to enter women’s spaces. It was a lie. It was illegal.

Rashid Mazaheri is a former goalkeeper for the Iranian national football team. Missing since Feb for criticising Ali Khamenei during the January protests. Imagine a report that Joe Hart 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 was about to be executed for an Instagram post about the UK PM.
Ayda@CyrusLioness

@omid9 Iranian football player #Rashid_Mazaheri is about to be executed simply for calling Khamenei a dictator on his social media. Human lives matter. Be his voice before it is too late! #FreeIran

Keith versus the gate is like me versus the HRA. [If you know, you know]
Sama Hoole@SamaHoole

Keith and the Stoic position on adversity, demonstrated last morning. 5:45am. Keith approaches the new gate the farmer installed on Tuesday. The new gate is reinforced steel with a magnetic latch and a secondary bolt that requires opposable thumbs. The farmer has spent £140 on this gate. The farmer feels, briefly, that he has solved Keith. Keith looks at the gate. Keith assesses the gate. Keith does not, at any point, become frustrated, anxious, or visibly disappointed. Keith does not pace. Keith does not bleat in protest. Keith does not, in any observable way, treat this as a setback. Marcus Aurelius wrote: "The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way." Keith has not read Marcus Aurelius. Keith does not need to. The new gate is, in Keith's working model of reality, the most interesting object on the farm. The new gate is a project that has been delivered to him fresh. The new gate represents three weeks of upcoming work that Keith now has, where previously he had only the old gate, which was, by Tuesday morning, finished. 6:14am. Keith begins the assessment. 12:08pm. The assessment continues. 3:30pm. Keith has not yet attempted to open the gate. Keith is gathering information. Keith is, by every observable indicator, the most patient animal in this county. Tomorrow he will return. The day after. The day after that. He will not get angry. He will not give up. He will not, at any point, treat the gate as anything other than what it is, which is the next problem, which is the only kind of problem worth Keith's time. The Stoics talked about this. Keith did this. The gate is the way.

The silver lining for Sall Grover is the support she is receiving across the political divide. Even labor Premier Chris Minns just announced that biological sex must be protected and reflect in the law. Good to see common sense finally overriding woke ideology.

If you’re willing to cross dress in public, and walk into women’s private spaces, that isn’t proof that single sex spaces cannot be policed. It’s merely proof that you exhibit anti-social behaviour, and you have no respect for women.

'Dr' Helen Webberly hits back at 'Cis' Lesbians following Cambridge Union debate. It's high time a non lesbian like Helen lectured 'silly little girls' aka 'cis gendered Lesbians' on how bigoted they are.
