@suladoyle @BellaLucyBee I was told it would cost tens of thousands to bring back single sex toilets in my daughter’s school. In the end it took one person unscrewing and moving the male and female signs.

The Golden Girls, but with today’s hair and styling.
From big 80s perms to sleek, fresh looks, Blanche is out here serving main character energy, Rose looks like your cool aunt who does Pilates, and Sophia and Dorothy still delivering one liners with the best of them.
Do you think the comedy would still hit the same today?

Do you want to know what the women called TERF’s believe?
Buckle up. Here it is:
Women are adult human females.
Men are adult human males.
No man is a woman.
Woman, man, boy, girl, female, male are all sex based terms.
No human being has or can change sex.
Femininity and masculinity are socially created and imposed.
Being feminine is not a condition of being female.
Being masculine is not required to be male.
Men and boys can be feminine.
Women and girls can be masculine.
"Transwomen" are men.
Lesbians are women who are sexually attracted to other women.
Gay men are men sexually attracted to other men.
Legal sex just means a man has changed his identity documents to claim to be a woman.
Gender ideology is bullshit.
No child is born in the wrong body.
Puberty blockers and cross sex hormones are sterilisation of primarily homosexual or autistic youth.
"Trans" isn’t a coherent demographic of people.
"Trans" is a man made concept.
Safeguarding of women’s boundaries is important.
Safeguarding children is paramount.
Female spaces are necessary.
No males in female sport.
When we say female, we’re saying it to reference both women and girls. Otherwise, we’ll be specific about women or girls.
Nonbinary is the equivalent of emo or goth, it’s a phase and doesn’t deserve or warrant legislative validation.
Females are oppressed on the basis of being female, aka sex. Don’t believe us? Look to women in Afghanistan.
While males are also entitled to male only spaces, they’re very different in society and law to female spaces.
Women’s rights matter.

@CdalesP @Rob_ThaBuilder danes seem to be quite sensible people.

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.

@Rob_ThaBuilder My dad (colourised) aged one in 1917 - with what looks suspiciously like a doll! (Although he was obviously more interested in the leaf!)

@Lovenes2310 @julianblacks_ This is why women shouldn't vote. They always default to emotions over logic and reason

My ex-husband decided, after 10 years of marriage, to break up with me right after my PhD defense. Yes, right after we had dinner at my advisor’s place to celebrate. We got home and he dropped the bomb on me.
I was completely shattered. I cried for 3 straight months, lost 22 pounds, and somehow managed to submit the final version of my dissertation and finally become a doctor, barely holding it together.
Now, 9 months later, he wants to be friends.

FROM THE SATIRE DESK.
AUSTRALIA NEVER FORGOT
WHAT A WOMAN IS
- SALL GROVER
UNANIMOUSLY VOTED
WOMAN OF THE YEAR.
In a unanimous decision
that has left the entire
'gender ideology complex'
choking on their oat milk lattes,
Sall Grover - the woman who
dared to build a female only app
and then got financially waterboarded
by the Full Federal Court for it
- has been voted
Australian Woman of the Year.
The vote was unanimous.
By a majority of natural Australians
who still use words like 'biology,'
'chromosomes,' and 'stop the madness.'
Grover, still smarting
from the doubled damages
for the unforgivable sin of noticing a penis,
released a statement dripping with raw,
unfiltered womanhood -
'I’m deeply honored. And as a woman,
I have sworn never to wear
V- neck shirts again.
Simply because I’m a woman
and would really be devastated
if a court ruled against me
and deemed me to be a man.
The psychological harm alone
would be incalculable.
My womanhood is sacred
– and based on reality,
not whatever fever dream
some bloke is having this Tuesday.'
Take that, Your Honors.
The same court that legally castrated
the dictionary just got told
by the Australian public -
'Nice try, but we’re not all insane yet.'
In other news,
Roxanne Tickle
- formerly known as Jason Tickle,
formerly known as Roxanne again,
we’ve honestly lost the fucking plot
- has reversed his/her/their/its stance
once more.
After careful consideration
and a mountain of legal advice -
because apparently changing your sex
is now a subscription service,
Tickle has reclassified
as a certified nut job
- correction - transient woman.
which means net zero to most Australians.
The newly minted transient woman
wasted zero time organizing a protest
against Grover’s 'Woman of the Year award'.
'This is blatant discrimination and erasure!'
Tickle wailed from whatever pronoun circle
they’re currently orbiting.
'We spent years
getting the courts to say
that any man who puts on a dress
is a actually a woman,
and now they’re giving the award
to an actual biological female?
This is literally violence against
the trans community.
Think of the children…
who might grow up thinking women
are female!'
Sources close to Tickle say
the flip flopping was
'lived experience in action.'
One minute a man,
the next a woman,
then a man again,
now a transient woman
– basically a human fidget spinner
with a trust fund
and a lawyer on speed dial.
Australian authorities
are reportedly considering
doubling the damages again
– this time against reality itself.
Because if the court can’t force
every woman to pretend a 6’4
bloke with a five o’clock shadow
is her sister, then what was the point
of the last decade of institutional capture?
Congratulations, Sall Grover.
You’re officially more of a woman
than the government wants you to be.
And Roxanne ...
Keep protesting, mate.
The rest of Australia is too busy
remembering what sex actually is to care.
Pass the popcorn.
The delusion is eating itself alive Down Under.

Another Australian woman being dragged through legal proceedings for stating the truth.
Via HRLA: -
Jasmine Sussex is being taken to court for criticising men who say they can breastfeed.
She is an Australian breastfeeding expert with 15 years of experience in the field.
This is the absurd situation our country finds itself in today.
You can have your life upended, simply for saying what you believe.
It doesn’t matter who you are.
Jasmine has now been stood down from her role as a breastfeeding counsellor, dragged through the media, and stands accused by a male complainant (who identifies as a woman) of inciting “hatred”.
Just for confronting trans activists with a simple truth: men cannot breastfeed.
It’s time to stand with Jasmine and free speech – or we’re all next.
Show Jasmine you’re with her – add your name to the open letter today.

ITV is filming a drama about Queen Elizabeth I that will portray her as a trans-identifying man who hid his sex and became queen. She will be played by a trans-identifying man, of course.
I am so tired of this sh!t. Any historical woman who stepped outside of the narrow gender roles men tried to force upon her gets transed, and this particular idea is even more insulting to women than portraying Elizabeth as a woman who secretly identified as a man.
Almost as insulting is the stupidity level of the entire premise. Had Elizabeth been born male, she’d have been Henry VIII’s immediate successor, Anne Boleyn wouldn’t have lost her head, and Jane Seymour would never have wed Henry or produced Edward. We’d also have avoided Bloody Mary. There would have been absolutely no reason to hide a male child’s sex from a king who so desperately wanted a male heir that he broke from the Church in an effort to secure one.

While yesterday was devastating, it will likely be the catalyst we need to change the dysfunctional Sex Discrimination Act. The Federal MPs in this country won’t know what’s hit them from Monday onwards! @salltweets
