@sctnt_yahoo @marycatedelvey @RobSchneider That doesn't define men well. That just defines laziness and inability to form an argument. Something common to plenty of both men and women.

@PollyJoseph14 @marycatedelvey @RobSchneider You know defines men well?
The ease in which he can dismiss his respect and concern for another human.
Just as I am doing to you now.

Being a woman is more than makeup, hair,
and clothing.
English
@sctnt_yahoo @marycatedelvey @RobSchneider Women think about their bodies much more than they think about makeup, hair and clothing. Those are things that men define women by, they don't define women.
English
Yeah. And that broad would likely be thinking about those things a little more, and with a heightened sense of awareness, than a man.
I'm not defaming woman. I wouldn't have spent my life with if I didn't like them.
Your scenario reversed.
Every man is thinking about his penis. We got shit too, that preoccupies us.
English
@sctnt_yahoo @marycatedelvey @RobSchneider No it doesn't. A naked woman with a shaved head would still be a woman.
English
@marycatedelvey @RobSchneider . . . it has a little bit to do with it.

@mushycrouton She'll be remembered for standing up for the gay community against the homophobic trans cult.
English
JK Rowling sending herself batshit insane over LGBTQIA+ people existing will never not be hilarious.
She will eventually only be remembered for her toxicity.
English
@oolon The fact that JKR isn't an anti trans bigot is what proves that your daughter hasn't applied critical thinking to this imagined ideology.
English
My daughter can't stand her because shes an anti trans bigot, neither can all her LGBTQ+ friends. I'd bet she can apply critical thinking to Rowlings ideology a lot better than she can, the patronising gimp
Bad Writing Takes 🖊️🏳️🌈@BadWritingTakes
JK Rowling is in conspiracy mode. She is claiming that young people hate her because "that's the online culture" I suppose in the sense that if you're exposed to even a small portion of JK Rowling's online behaviour it would probably lead any half-way decent person to hate her
English
@LeonardBriscoe3 How do you 'live as a woman' without resorting to sexist stereotypes?
English
For goodness sake, she looks like a woman, she lives as a woman, if she says she’s a woman then she is. This is nothing short of spiteful, narrow minded bigotry.
English
@MasterMaliq @one_man__ormy Depends on the country and the men in the household.
English
@one_man__ormy @MasterMaliq It depends on the country's laws. It's not voluntary in Afghanistan. There are no countries where it's obligatory to become a nun.

As storms and floods devastate Gaza, some major Western media organisations are completely ignoring it. BBC, for example, doesn't have a story on the flooding, or any story at all about Gaza, on its world news homepage right now. There are 46 stories on the homepage.
Gaza Notifications@gazanotice
🚨In Gaza, a little girl clings to her grandfather, shaking from the cold as rainwater pours into their tent. She’s searching for the slightest bit of warmth to calm her shivers a scene as devastating as the storm outside.

@straycomrade @helenstaniland Male adults can always force themselves into women's spaces. But making this legal and without consequences is not a progressive stance.
English
@helenstaniland Male adults always have access to female spaces. If you think a bathroom sign is stopping anyone, you place too much stock and in decorum.
Plus there’s nothing to prove trans women are predators.
Transphobia is just the modern conjunction between homophobia and misogyny.
English
The far right are growing because of the insane, unreasonable demands of people like you.
I'm just saying no.

@helenstaniland @sometimestrange Yes the far right are growing because of people like you Helen.

@according2_taz But this is exactly what abuse does. It drags children into depraved and sordid worlds so they lose their sense of what is decent behaviour. Just because Andrew wasn't the first to abuse her doesn't make it any less wrong. She is still a victim.
English
I know many may not agree with me, but Virginia was no saint. She recruited young girls to go into that same depraved and sordid World, some of which, I’m certain were younger than her! She had a shitload more ‘famous’ clients than Andrew as well. And where were her family?

“She would be so proud - he’s just Andrew, no longer a Prince.” The full #Newsnight interview with Sky and Amanda Roberts, brother and sister-in-law of Virginia Giuffre, reacting to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor losing his 'Prince' title. He denies all allegations.

@soniasodha I'm also a feminist. The state already has rules about clothing, as in how much of our bodies we should cover up. There's nothing illiberal about demanding that people show their faces in public, which has implications for both security and social cohesion.
English
As a feminist, I don't like what the burqa represents. But the idea the state should ban citizens from covering their faces in public, as they have done in France, is deeply illiberal.
Noa Hoffman@hoffman_noa
Robert Jenrick becomes the first Tory shadow cabinet member to call for a burqa ban He says: "I probably would ban the burqa. "There are basic values in this country and we should stand up and defend them." Follows moves by Giorgia Meloni's party in Italy

@terrychristian It's because we didn't confuse people's fashion choices with their sex.
English
@HeidiBachram Because it wasn't just about Gaza, it was about Israel killing and intimidating Palestinians everywhere, which they are still doing.
English
I really thought that once there was a ceasefire in Gaza that things would calm down here in the UK.
I was wrong.

@zoverions @jk_rowling If the debate is about the definition of woman, why do you start talking about 'womanhood'? Nobody believes that 'womanhood' is an innate biological status. But being a woman is being one of the two biological sexes. Gender is a cultural concept and nothing to do with biology.
English
The core of this debate is a conflict over the definition of "woman." J.K. Rowling promotes a biologically essentialist view, stating womanhood is an innate biological status.
MY framework rejects her position as exclusionary, harmful to transgender people, and a violation of the fundamental right to cognitive autonomy.
The second view, from a trans perspective, defines a woman as someone who "puts in the work," which powerfully validates the journey of transition but is problematic as a universal rule because it can lead to gatekeeping.
My framework affirms the third view: womanhood is grounded in self-identification. This is the only position that is fully inclusive, respects individual autonomy as a primary value, and correctly understands gender as an internal identity (consciousness) rather than a simple reflection of biology.
English
A woman is someone who doesn't need to put in any work to become a woman, because she's already a woman.

@jk_rowling @NickCohen4 Why should they give it a rest? The IDF hasn't stopped the killing of Palestinians.
English
"Pro-Palestinian demonstrators couldn’t give it a rest – not even for 24 hours. They were chanting all the old slogans and ducking all the hard questions. ‘Globalise the intifada,’ they cried – does that mean killing Jews in Manchester?" ✍️@NickCohen4

@DPJHodges Isn't it antisemitic to make assumptions about Jews? Many of them oppose Israel's current activities in Gaza. Some of them were demonstrating today. You shouldn't make sweeping generalisations about people based on their faith and ethnicity.
English
Imagine if you are a Jew. You have seen what happened in Manchester today. You are travelling home to hug your loved ones. And then you find yourself in the middle of this.
Tal Ofer טל עופר تل عوفر@TalOfer
Liverpool Street right now, it’s grim to be a Jew in the UK. I’m absolutely sick , the police is here doing nothing while people chant ‘from the river to the sea’ and glorifying violence. Prime Minister, you are responsible
English
@Jebadoo2 This is nonsense. Equating criticism of Israel's current foriegn policy and assault of Gaza is not antisemitism. And there are no BBC reports of Jews being uniquely evil.
English
British Jews knew this was coming. The drip drip of recreational antisemitism weekend after weekend, BBC report after BBC report obsessing after Jews as uniquely evil, campuses and workplaces being unsafe to be publicly Jewish. This country has a serious antisemitism problem.
