"Tel Aviv is witnessing rare civil disobedience. A group of Israeli refuseniks are burning their draft papers on the main street. The reason for refusal: 'We will not kill children in Palestine and Lebanon.' The penalty: military prison. But they insist on going to prison rather than enlisting."

The most disugsting point about the EHRC nonsense is there is absolutely no proof of trans women posing ANY risk to other women using the bathroom. Changing law to suit far-right fiction is absolutely insane. However, the risk to trans women using the mens? Huge.

@OneCynicalWorld @CurtisDaly_ Excuse you? You have called me ignorant (2x), mentally unwell, mysoginistic (sic)(I'm a woman btw), woke cultist; and I called you a bigot. Which you are. You are not being pleasant.

But I am the one listening to women and evidence? The irony in your comment is off the scale. You’re the one wilfully ignorant, only listening to the people in your woke cult. Again, enjoy your bank holiday (us folk on the right remain pleasant during debates unlike you lot who turn to abuse and rudeness).

Yeah so trans men will now be forced into women bathrooms, I wonder how safe women will feel. This was never about protecting women, it's about hating trans people.

@OneCynicalWorld @CurtisDaly_ Men like you who refuse to listen to women or to evidence because you prefer your bigotry are part of the problem.

Is that your answer? So, you think we have a “rape culture” in the UK? That’s a really strange world view. Rape is a serious problem, but to suggest it’s cultural is ludicrous. It is cultural though in many countries. Countries we now allow people to flock in from unchecked. I don’t suggest it’s solely a problem from immigration. But you deny it’s any kind of a problem. Which one of us is correct? It’s me. I don’t suggest all trans people are sexual deviants. But you deny that any are. Which one of us is correct? It’s me. Enjoy your bank holiday.

@OneCynicalWorld @CurtisDaly_ One aspect of rape culture is that it historically thrives by scapegoating the 'other' - black men, migrants, now trans women. Reality is most are relatives, partners, normal seeming guys whose mates laugh at their jokes about women. You don't want to deal with that.

Can you expand on what you mean by ‘rape culture’? I would agree Britain has a growing one but there is a significant reason for that. Interested in your take. Of course I do fight and have strong feelings against rape, misogyny and violent porn. But you’re simply deflecting into other issues. You’re suggesting that because sexual crimes happen anyway, we should just make it easier for such people to do it in usual safe spaces for women? Once again, can you not see how insane that is? I’m not conflating indecent exposure to with anything - you’re deflecting by again. A trans woman, with a penis, could through no intention at all ‘indecently expose’ themself to a child. Why is that so hard for you to understand?

@OneCynicalWorld @CurtisDaly_ Such a good dad feminist you can almost spell misogynist right. Bless ☺️

@jemt @CurtisDaly_ I’m not assuming trans people are the problem. I’m assuming, correctly, that mysoginistic people like you are the problem.

Trans women have been using the ladies loos for two decades in the UK. There is NO evidence to suggest women are at a greater risk because of it. This is a made-up problem caused by some rich bigots. Excluding trans peoples from single sex spaces will not make c!s women safer.

@Shetlander1978 @OneCynicalWorld @CurtisDaly_ Piss off. It didn't work to protect me from rapists. You are ignoring the real problem in favour of picking on minorities and pretending to be a saviour.

@jemt @OneCynicalWorld @CurtisDaly_ Funny how keeping male genitals out if female spaces has worked for all of human history yet you think it can't be stopped. Even the Romans managed it without modern technology. Its actually very simple, man goes into female space, society takes them out.

@Shetlander1978 @OneCynicalWorld @CurtisDaly_ 'Perverts' eh? Sounds like you are completely unprejudiced, and surely have some evidence other than capital letters?

@jemt @OneCynicalWorld @CurtisDaly_ Many women i know say they won't go into a changing room when a man is there for this very reason, these perverts DO have a higher rate of purposely exposing themselves. Yes, anecdotal, but I've not heard 1 man say a "trans" male has exposed themselves.

@OneCynicalWorld @CurtisDaly_ I'm not deflecting. It just didn't occur to me that you think simply glimpsing a penis is harmful. (It isn't). I assumed you are talking about actual sex offenses which are prevalent and harmful. Blaming that on trans people is the massive societal deflection happening now.

@OneCynicalWorld @CurtisDaly_ No Sir, you are confused. You assuming trans people are the problem, when the problem is sex offenders. I don't need the lame insults on this fine sunny bank holiday weekend. I wish you good day.

@jemt @CurtisDaly_ Again, you are the only one who started taking about hypothetical predators when you said trans men are. I was simply talking about people getting changed in single sex spaces. You’re quite mentally unwell I think.

@OneCynicalWorld @CurtisDaly_ Instead of obsessing over genitals? Because there is no way this can be policed. It's just a license for bullying and harassing a minority. Your hypothetical predator in a frock wouldn't even have to bother with the frock now. Unless you want a dick inspector checking everyone?

@OneCynicalWorld @CurtisDaly_ (and boys) do it anywhere and everywhere - parks, streets, public transport. So to protect your daughter why not put your energy into fighting rape culture, misogyny, violent porn?

@Jakkiell @CurtisDaly_ Are you going to be checking their genitals to make sure they don't have dicks?

@CurtisDaly_ They are women so are welcome in the ladies -the range of presentation for women is wide.

@OneCynicalWorld @CurtisDaly_ Oh my Fucking God you think penises commit sexual assault?

@CurtisDaly_ Garbage. Trans men don’t have penises. Because they are female. Nobody will feel unsafe with them in the female toilets / changing rooms. Unlike trans women - who absolutely should not be in there. Because in most case they DO have penises - because they are male.

@aryddaear @Nikolaispain @vixoconn No, you fool. The law considers trans men to be 'biological women' so they'll be in your change room. And probably a few cis male predators taking advantage of the confusion will be too.

@Nikolaispain @vixoconn The trans lobby is looking for anything to discredit the SC ruling: ('What about trans men [women] who look like men?' etc.) But the situation is: it is now illegal for any kind of man to enter women's secure spaces, so such men can (and will) be called out for it! Hurrah!

Genuine question for those that support this: how are you going to decipher the difference between a trans man (biological female at birth) and a biological male entering the female only toilets? You can’t. You’ve now made UK toilets far more dangerous for women. 🙄

The most dystopian part of AI isn’t the technology itself. It’s the sheer amount of electricity and water being burned so corporations can automate things nobody asked to automate. Entire rivers diverted so an app can generate “funny medieval Breaking Bad images.” So LinkedIn users can produce motivational posts written in the tone of a traumatized flight attendant. We are constructing cathedrals of computation to eliminate the burden of having an original thought. And they keep selling this as progress. Meanwhile the actual physical world decays. Bridges collapse. Cities rot. Public transit looks post-apocalyptic. Young people can’t afford houses. But thank God the machine can generate 9,000 fake podcast clips per second. Civilizations used to build aqueducts and railways. Now we build data centers.

🚨 Julian Assange Warned us: "Digital archives let them erase history with one click. One day: "Page not found." The next: "it never happened." They control what you remember. Save physical books. Archive offline. Don't trust the cloud. This is how 1984 wins.

@BigBroGuide @JezziiB That may be true. Complicity is an important aspect of how patriarchy and other systems of oppression work. There's a lot of interesting literature about this. Feminism isn't (or shouldn't be) about blaming men, but on understanding oppression and seeking liberation for all.

@JezziiB Most accused were named by other women. Neighbors, rivals, mother-in-laws with grudges. The feminist retelling needs to quietly skip that part to survive.

They didn’t burn witches. They murdered women. Independent women. Assertive women. Intelligent women. Women who refused to be quiet. Women who refused to roll over. Women who refused to submit.
