@BrettBP1 @comsenlib67 @speakoutsister @FrankyCandide My bad, sorry.
Did you know that for every biological trait used to define a woman, there are women who don't meet that specific criteria? Some aren't born with a vagina, some don't have XX chromosomes, some can't give birth, and some have high testosterone.
English
Saying women are women because of gametes, or DNA, or any other physical characteristic is biological essentialism not feminism.

@mtracey “Why can we no longer think of the British Isles without the word ‘paedoph’ in front of them?”
English
You can no longer search for "Lolita" on Facebook, because the system thinks the search "might be associated with child sexual abuse." So you can't search for the novel by Nabokov, the film by Kubrick, or the play starring Donald Sutherland. Because everybody loves a Pedo Panic

@Jess_did_it_x According to Rowling, when cis women wear women’s clothes, hair and makeup they’re gender norms, but when trans women wear them they’re gender stereotypes.
English
Look who's gender identity came out to play. In JK Rowling's head perhaps girls don't use skateboards? Or maybe they're just wearing men's clothes when they slip on a hoodie?
You know, cross dressing. Like a fetishist. Except she won't say that, because women can't be fetishists.

@brookelynn74 @mojo_surfer @jk_rowling @sharrond62 I’m sorry for your loss, Angela. It’s a lovely photo.
And your kids must be very proud to have a mum who speaks up for what she believes is right in the face of waves of verbal abuse and ridicule from people who are pathologically lacking in empathy.

@mojo_surfer @jk_rowling @sharrond62 That’s my partner who passed away from cancer almost 6 years ago. He was beautiful inside and out. I’m sure you can’t relate.

To all media… we are watching you closely. Misinformation, deliberate gaslighting, and ambiguous language is not excusable, you have been told relentlessly and very clearly by the IOC; the policy applies to males not being allowed in the female category, for integrity, safety, fairness and equality of opportunity of females in their category. It’s that’s simple. Feelings and personal identities have no place in sport, just biological reality.

@orchidsfilm Hats off to the security guard. I don’t think I’d be able to even tie my own shoelaces under that kind of pressure.

I used to think woke mobs would be the death of Twitter. Then it seemed like right-wing goons would be. But cheery, vapid AI-generated replies seem more dangerous than either of them.

Johnny Flynn, set to take on the role of Lucius Malfoy in HBO’s #HarryPotter series, discusses criticism around author J.K. Rowling’s anti-trans stance, and “the welcoming environment” on set.
“Obviously, there's quite a lot of stuff around Jo [J.K.] Rowling. I suppose that's been quite interesting to navigate, the conversations there — but all important conversations to have,” Flynn told @THR. “The people working on this are really, really great and create a really special atmosphere, [like] Francesca [Gardiner] the showrunner, and Mark Mylod and various directors. There's such care. I'm basically not in the first book. Lucius is hardly in book one at all, but I'm in the first series. So it's quite a thing to go do a day and then have a month or so [off] and come back and everybody's got these really tight relationships. But it's such a welcoming environment.”

@FeralBabbling @leslie_grischow @dickydickypand1 @THR “Every female inmate locked in a cell with a penis'd roommate matters.”
You’ll be glad to know this has never happened then. Sharing a prison is not the same as sharing a cell.
English
@leslie_grischow @dickydickypand1 @THR Every female inmate locked in a cell with a penis'd roommate matters. That small number of ftm cops affect women. Fighting to allow rape victims privacy from skeevy cross dressers does deny them their right to voyeurism but that's a sacrifice some women are ready to make.

@HeatherEHeying Are you able to explain how the “system” facilitated this mass shooting without sounding deranged yourself?
English
Mass murderer Jesse Van Rootselaar had long been known to be mentally deranged.
6 years ago, at 12yo, he began identifying as female.
This option was fed to him by a system unhooked from reality.
A system that prides itself on empathy.
A system that facilitates murder.
Róisín Michaux@RoisinMichaux
I think if we looked back at pre-transmania mass shooters we would find a lot of young men who fit the AGP/autist/oddball/too-online archetype, except trans wasn’t a thing yet. Meaning: being trans (taking hormones etc) is not causing mass shootings. But the people who commit mass shootings are the same people drawn to trans, now that it’s a thing that these maladaptors can identify into it.

@AndriusBend @libsoftiktok What a strange non sequitur. Where did you hear anyone say or imply anything like misgendering is worse than murder?
English
@libsoftiktok When misgendering is worse than murdering.
What kind of simulation is this?
English
WTF. The Canadian police announced that they're RESPECTING the preferred pronouns of a transgender mass shooter because he identified himself as a female.
You can make this sh*t up.
English
@lj_birdie @TheatreSpoonie If you can always tell, how come you got it wrong here?
English
@TheatreSpoonie We can always tell. With you, the language gives it away immediately—especially when you argue for scrapping single-sex spaces. Your arguments rely on erasing sexed realities, something women notice because we live with the consequences but you clearly don’t.
English
Apparently if you disagree with an anonymous TERF, you must be a man. I thought they could always tell? I thought sex was immutable in their ideology? But apparently I'm a man for simply standing up for human rights and against patriarchal dehumanisation of women.
English
@tiffanylloree @mtracey @JackPosobiec Who is “they”? Are you so stupid as to think something said by random people on the internet is comparable to it being said by an elected official?
Just to remind you, this was the reaction from actual prominent Democrats:
English
They did. They celebrated, they’ve tormented his widow and danced on his grave. Most of them even celebrated the attempted assassination of Trump last year. Stop with your holier than thou attitude. Those people are more demonic than TRUMP could ever even imagine being. He’s taken more arrows from them, Rob being one of the biggest, than anyone in history.
English
Where is the celebration, Leighton?
You're smarter than this

@EricRWeinstein But putting aside whether she implicitly (mis)characterised your political leaning and how unfair this might be to you personally, do you not think she has a point?
English
@EricRWeinstein Respectfully, I don’t think this is about you Eric.
It’s about the sentiment you expressed, which *is* fairly representative of the right (and is likely why your tweet has had such high engagement in the first place).
English
This is like my being lampooned for being a leading hunting activist, a sub par Prima Ballerina, or a moralistic Bishop. Has everyone just lost it?

Very funny watching the right attempt to defibrillate norms of civility they spent a decade killing. Every election for the foreseeable future will be a contest between men calling each others’ wives and children fat swine and sodomite imbeciles. You can’t undo it, it’s too late.
English
@Humblewank @Fussball5645 @Telegraph @Glinner You deserve credit for this. It’s astoundingly rare on Twitter to see anyone acknowledge that they may have been wrong/mistaken, instead of the usual doubling down or deflecting, so fair play to you.
English
@Fussball5645 @Telegraph @Glinner I mean, interviewing someone who has been through a similar experience to you doesn't mean that you agree with stuff they've done.
But fair enough, I definitely accept that's valid criticism.
I'm at fault here, thanks for clarifying.

@GhostJemima @BobbyTimeclock @Zennistrad @theserfstv The reason to portray homosexual relationships is that they exist, and to prohibit their portrayal would be a form of censorship. While there are types of content that are censored in media for children (eg. smoking, violence), there’s good reason for each.
What’s your reason?
English
@apmeehan @BobbyTimeclock @Zennistrad @theserfstv Is it that hard to give one positive reason that homosexual relationships should be portrayed towards kids in mass media? You have not one good thing to say in favor of this? No, you don't, and there's no rule against pointing that out.
English
Right so why not just admit you hate gay people and stop losing your minds every time a children's cartoon has a kiss between two women?
Reddit Lies@reddit_lies
Showing loving relationships between men and women to kids is a good thing, actually.
