@telteubby66437 @pk13510 He looked like Jake Gyllenhaal. Not creepy, just friendly.

@macarthursbark @pk13510 Interesting. Describe his appearance and general vibe? You gotta remember words don't actually mean what they mean in English to women. When men hear "gross" they think some hills have eyes type or indian subcontinent sort, whereas she could mean she heard he's a cheater etc

Me quietly nodding along as my friend tells me how there’s no good straight men after watching her swipe left on dozens of guys who would be considered 10/10 in the gay market.

@ScreechyTurnip @roikfbuwgc254 Alcohol is inexpensive in Japan, compared to the US or UK. A US gallon (4 litres) of whisky or other spirits costs as low as $20. Wages are lower of course, but not by that much.

@roikfbuwgc254 Dangerous as in "If I make my own booze I'll drink it all and end up very drunk" or "if I make my own booze I'll end up in jail"? I like homebrewing wine because it's fun to share when it turns out right.

@BBCWorld Any decent father would slit his own wrists before he sold his baby daughter for rape so he could buy himself food. These men are cowards and demons, not victims. They’re the reason why Afghanistan is a shithole and will always be a shithole.

Let me tell you, then, Jessie, why I’m a TERF. See, there’s a man in California who’s doing life for a third strike armed robbery. His first two strikes came from kidnapping young women on two known occasions, and forcing them to fellate him. Mr. Carroll is a 6’2, 250 lb, fully intact man with a beard. He doesn’t take estrogen or wear women’s clothing. He doesn’t use a woman’s name. Nevertheless, the state of CA agrees with Carroll that he is actually a woman, and he was transferred to a CA women’s prison, where he was given a female cellmate. He impregnated her. Technically it was rape, because inmates can’t legally consent, but that didn’t stop the prison officials from giving him another female cellmate. Whom he also raped. When this victim reported him, he counter-accused. She - all of 5’1 and 120 lbs - went to solitary, and he — 6’2 and 250 pounds — got a third female cellmate. Whom he also raped. Mr. Carroll is back in the men’s prison he should never have left, and it only cost three women the injury of being raped for the state to figure that out. You claim to care about poor women — do you care about the incarcerated woman impregnated during her prison term? They’ll take her baby when it’s born, too — so the trauma affects a second generation. This is not an isolated incident. Incarcerated women are incredibly vulnerable to sexual abuse, even when they aren’t knowingly locked in cells with a convicted male sex offender whom guards know raped his last two cellmates. Oh — and to make matters worse, the judge has decreed that the victims must referred to Mr. Carroll as “she.” You claim to be a feminist, and yet you have turned your back on perhaps the most vulnerable population of women in the Western world. You claim to be a feminist, yet you abandon other women to suffer at the hands of violent men, brushing aside their pain with a quip about toilets and genitals. Genitals become extremely important when someone is forcing his way into yours. Ask me how I know.

I've never posted about it on here before because I still worked at the BBC (retired now) but reading the bit in this about Frank Maloney, now Kellie Maloney. He was a guest on a programme I worked on, one of the members of staff said 'I find it really hard to see him as a woman when he's always been Frank to me'. That was it. A member of staff who was on the LGBT network overheard and reported him to management and he was called in by management and warned about his conduct. He was just a techie like me, not a journalist. I thought it was Stasi level outrageous. Never forgotten it. When I woke up.

BREAKING: Evidence suggests Jewish students rig their exam results by secretly memorising all they've learnt the night before exams. Exam boards say no rules have been broken, but Irish parents have pulled their children out of schools until the Jewish manipulation is stopped

DO NOT PRESS THE TRANSLATE BUTTON 😭

The delicious thing is, you know all the haters and boycotters WERE watching and seething. Cry harder

@Bensvision I went in pretty blind and was gripped by Bulgaria. A great song and great staging. Finland left me pretty cold and didn’t make that much of an impression. Aus is good, but doesn’t have winning energy to me. Love Moldova, hope it does well!

Finland and Australia are understandable favourites. But they are biased favourites based on what used to work. I believe there is an obvious challenger. One that benefits from the changes this year and has a package for juries and televoters equally. I'm tipping BULGARIA

Predicting #eurovision is hard. That is especially true this year with so many changes to the Song Contest. For juries and televotes, but also for wider issues. Here is a thread of my studies of these changes, and a gutsy call for who will win tonight.

What a lot of trans activists never understood is that most people genuinely did not care how adults chose to live their lives. The backlash came when it stopped being about “live and let live” and turned into demanding that everyone adopt new language, new definitions, and new beliefs under threat of being shamed, fired, or canceled. A lot of people drew the line at being told they had to say things they fundamentally do not believe like “men can have babies” or that biological sex is meaningless and if they questioned any of it, they were immediately labeled hateful or bigoted. That kind of social pressure and moral policing is what pushed people to where we are today.

I am absolutely devastated Men who claim to be women have more rights than actual women in Australia. It is women who are being discriminated against, not the men who claim to be us. But in a sense, nothing has changed: we will all wake up tomorrow & men will still not be women.

Oh this is goooood: "The rise in trans identification did not emerge in isolation. It emerged from a much broader cultural and psychiatric shift in which growing numbers of ordinary human experiences came to be understood through diagnostic frameworks...

When is 'Dr Who' back on? My children are starting to detransition. 😢

i never considered that ronettes updates could be asian. maybe im a bad person

@BenMclaine @bawerk_bomb @FroodMultiple You had to cross decades and countries to get to just 20 female sex offenders. Scotland has more trans (male) sex offenders than that in the past few years.

@bawerk_bomb @FroodMultiple Lol why would I do that? 💀

Bravo, @Keir_Starmer, for getting in an Adviser on Women and Girls who thinks the definition of women and girls includes men and boys. That'll definitely win back people who believe Labour's a party for smug, lanyard-wearing, luxury-belief-espousing cultural elitists. 1/2

There is no personality trait that disqualifies you from your sex class.

you can just say things, it doesn't even need to make sense. my barista told me she's upping her sertraline dose and I said "that's so art deco" and she agreed.
