@HJoyceGender I am currently shaking my head over the "twerp" (so aptly describe by our Graham) who argues that the use of ugly words to describe ugly deeds (& the warped individuals committing them) is sufficient to indict those who speak pointedly about the consequences of trans ideology.

Maeve was astounding. Serena Worley speaking from the floor likewise. Webberley was astounding per usual. She finished by claiming that everybody on the other side of the argument for her had blood dripping down their hands - remarkable when she's the one who's on the side of life-changing unevidenced drugs and surgeries that put children on the path to castration. It's always projection with these people. Buck Angel is a powerful speaker. The other three speakers were different varieties of smug, point-missing and useless. There was an unwittingly entertaining speech from the floor by a young woman who said that listening to The Archers as a child made her decide she was trans - first identifying as a boy and then when she registered that she wasn't very good at that (her words not mine) non-binary. As she admitted, most middle-class story ever.

Thanks Sall Grover for holding the course. This is what it takes to scrape off bad law. I hope ordinary voters will begin to understand why we should choose our elected lawmakers & leaders much more carefully than we have been.

Sorry, Aussie Australian women, you’ve just been cancelled

Wow! Give me hope to hear a young voice state the truth so clearly and eloquently.

The Full Federal Court has handed down its judgement in Giggle v Tickle. In a shock to women across the country - Sall Grover not only lost her appeal, the Court set aside the original finding of indirect discrimination and replaced it with direct discrimination, upholding Tickle's cross-appeal. The damages were doubled from $10,000 to $20,000. It’s important to note the Court expressly said it was only applying the Sex Discrimination Act as it is written- it is "not empowered to give effect to its own view" about whether that law is desirable. In 2013, @JuliaGillard’s @AustralianLabor government amended the Sex Discrimination Act- stripping the meaning out of "man" and "woman" and adding gender identity as a protected attribute to be pitted against biological sex. Today's outcome is proof of what those amendments have done: women are left with no meaningful rights or recognition under the Sex Discrimination Act - a bitter irony, given that protecting women was the very purpose of the Act under our commitment to CEDAW. In my opinion, this is a verdict on the law, not on Sall. The judges found that the law - as that government amended it - left them no other conclusion. These amendments must be repealed. The Sex Discrimination Act must once again recognise biological reality and protect women's right to single-sex spaces. What a dark and devastating day for Australian women and girls. #RepealTheSDA2013 #IStandWithSallGrover #GigglevTickle #Auspol

Amazing.

Sex is a duality, a pair. In other words, a binary. See our classic Paradox Institute animated video from 2020. youtu.be/XN2-YEgUMg0?si…

Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere." Farmer: "Where did they get it?" Activist: "What?" Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere." Activist: "From... eating?" Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it." Activist: "The soil?" Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from." Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere." Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it." Activist: "Then just don't have the cow." Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle." Activist: "It's not that simple." Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."

You missed the fact that school officials deceived this young girl and her parents, promising them that boys and girls would sleep on separate floors. It wasn’t until this 11-year-old girl was on the trip—far from home—that she discovered her expected bedmate was a boy. She was then forced to stand up against school authorities and defend her own privacy in the moment, late at night. They initially treated her as if her concerns were not legitimate, moving her to a different bed in the room. This backfired when the other roommates wanted the boy to move beds too. So this little girl had to muster the courage to voice her concerns a second time. The school finally relented and moved her to another room, but told her to lie about the reason why. Any reasonable person can see how outrageous this is. No child should have to defend her own privacy against a school policy that puts her in jeopardy. And no school district should make it a policy to deceive parents. Furthermore: not all kids have the ability or opportunity to stand up for themselves. Another family in our lawsuit has a son whose sleeping arrangements and showers were supervised by a female (identifying as non-binary) at a week-long school camp. Several of the boys were so uncomfortable that they skipped showers and changed their clothes inside their sleeping bags. This is inexcusable. It is adults’ responsibility to stand up for children—not children’s responsibility to stand up for themselves. This could easily be avoided with a commonsense policy that allows parents to stay informed and opt their children out of mixed-sex sleeping arrangements ahead of time—protecting the privacy of ALL children involved. But despite our requests, the school district repeatedly refused to do this. So yes, we sued. In fact, let me put every district in America on notice right now: if you treat students and parents this way, prepare for a lawsuit.

My episode of Beyond Gender comes out today. Thank you to Stella and Bret for having me on. 🖤 This will be the last interview I do on this topic for the foreseeable future.

@thepearjoseph Excellent. I hope a lot of people listen.

The double standards are . . . well, I have no words.

In 2021, Dr. Olson-Kennedy Was Eager to Publish Her Youth Gender-Medicine Data. By 2023, She Wasn't. benryan.substack.com/p/in-2021-dr-o… In a 2021 plenary address, the lead investigator of the $10 million Trans Youth Care Study previewed one-year results and promised five-year data was coming. It still hasn't come.

@BorisSpider14 Unfortunately, Steve Bannon is not the only ideologue who discovered the tactic of "flood[ing] the zone with shit."

If you have kids in public school, their library catalog is probably searchable online. Many of them use the Follett Destiny system. Just type a search term like "queer" or "gender" at the top and see what comes up. Here's a link to the Loudon County Public Schools catalog for one of their high schools. Fun stuff. lcps.follettdestiny.com/portal/portal?…

Material reality: Sex is fixed at fertilization and unchangeable. A former biology teacher explains why this isn't a belief, but a scientific fact. #SexIsImmutable #BiologyFacts #ScienceEducation #MaterialReality

@SwipeWright @AussieGayLib damn typo: I meant "unable to fire abusive and incompetent teachers protected by their unions"

@SwipeWright @AussieGayLib Remember stories on the "rubber rooms" used by NYC public schools able to fire obviously abusive and incompetent teachers protected by their unions? Government-provided anything inevitably leads to "government cheese"-levels of quality. archive.ph/ei4QZ

This new Master's thesis in Science Education is an "autoethnography" (i.e. navel-gazing diatribe) about "being a queer science teacher in the midwest." The thesis doesn't contain anything about science education, but the author says that's only because her queerness meant that "identity negotiation, safety, and institutional navigation often overshadow writing and reflecting about my science lessons and teaching strategies." She tried to start a Gay-Straight Alliance club for 5th graders, and when her school's principal pushed back, she framed it as bias against queer people. When parents accused her of convincing their kids they are transgender, she again framed this as bigotry, yet later admits that the entire point of starting a GSA is to get kids to question their gender and sexual identities. This person is a world class narcissist who is hyper focused on talking to other people's young children about their sexuality.

@SwipeWright I don't know what sort of mental health treatment it would take for reality to finally get through to this deeply warped science school "teacher," but unemployment would be a good first step. But also remove the administrators who gave this cracked person access to children.

My recent talk at the @May_Day_Canada event was based on Brandolini’s Law, also known as the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle. The idea is simple: It takes an order of magnitude more effort to refute misinformation than it does to produce it. And nowhere is this more obvious than in the debate surrounding gender medicine. Because what those of us trying to expose the truth about this scandal are dealing with is not careful, evidence-based communication... But slogans. Catchy, emotionally compelling, effortlessly repeated slogans. And the truth is: for the last decade, Canada's governments — both federal and provincial (with the exception of Alberta) — have taken the easy option, blindly accepting activist slogans as fact, while choosing to ignore that nation after nation is abandoning this reckless experiment. By doing so, they have firmly secured their place in history as the leaders who looked the other way as innocent youth fell victim to one of the greatest medical crimes in history.
