Ridiculous stuff.
You'd think there were no real crimes in the UK to be investigated
I asked what YOU meant. I know what I mean: a mental health issue, or perhaps I should say several, as the profile of young teenage girls for whom the male gaze -if not actual assault - is entirely different to the aging AGP whose career is well launched with all the male privilege that is the norm (look at how many of them in the UK went to private schools) is often already a parent, and is now having a middle age crisis about his sexual prowess.
But a four year old has none of those issues.
It was on Facebook, wasn't it.
Lol! You’re just taking the piss now. Off with ya, go play with someone else.
Where are you reading about this phenomenon?
This is coming from the person who had a clear understanding of what 'trans' meant when saying that a four year old couldn't be trans but suddenly was all vague and confused when asked to state at what age a person could be trans. Maybe you should be spending some time on the tutoring site yourself?
You need to look up the many gays and Lesbians speaking out against pride being hijacked and pulled out from under them. Plenty on SM. I’ve been reading about it for well over a year now, if not longer.
Can you clarify please what you mean by 'destroying gay and lesbian established pride in their community'? Pride as a broad event and pride in general seems to be far from 'destroyed' by any objective measure.
You might want to read up on the role of trans people in establishing pride also.
Here you go: this should help you:
So just to be clear, you want to see Jamie in the ladies toilets, showers, changing rooms etc?
And you want to see Jackie using the mens toilets, showers, changing rooms;
This is your brave new world which you believe is going to protect women?
This. Misogyny is so endemic that women don’t matter at all. The hard-earned rights fought over a century by women (longer no doubt..) can be taken away in an instant to protect a male’s right to be seen as a woman, to invade safe spaces and erode all sex-based protections. It’s astonishing, there’s no getting around how deeply shocking it is!
Women don’t want trans to have zero rights, zero protections in law, but only adhere to the same equality laws like the rest of us. Just do not take women’s legal rights away and hate us with utter intensity for saying NO.
As for the casual misogynists floating about telling women to be kind, reasonable, there’s only a few etc etc.. ye can feck right off. Easy to spill words when you don’t have anything to lose.
Can I just clarify please if you're saying that all trans women are 'predatory male deviants'?
Especially as the person who's probably most well-known for shouting that to the crowd at a public event is "Sarah Jane" Baker a transidentifying man who served 30 years for kidnap, torture of a 19 year old, and (in a separate incident, different victim) attempted murder.
Interesting that SJB was cleared of incitement to violence but a middle-aged woman who posted after the Southport stabbings (and then deleted it within a couple of hours) that she didn't care if migrant hostels were burned down got nearly 3 years for incitement.
But yeah - women have to be forced to keep men like Sarah Jane Baker safe. Shows how much women matter in society.🙄
Well that's how misrepresentation works, isn't it? You have to be able to ignore the stuff that undermines your position, however plentiful that may be.
Funny how that wasn't included as surely that could be equally viewed as encouraging people to beat up children?
I don't see how you could read Linehan's tweet as advocating for violence against children but not that one? Linehan's is, after all, a play on the wording of that, and neither mention children.
How about you argue this point from some real person who can be quoted and linked to? Because to be quite honest that sounds made up. And of course nobody can verify it. So find some real person and provide a link to them saying this sort of thing. Preferably not some wacky US "end-times" redneck, if possible - I guess you might find one of those to say something like that, but presumably that's not who we're meant to think you're talking about.
Your relative is either invented or is mad. Neither of those can be taken as typical of what normal people actually think.
This "women get raped anyway so what does it matter if we put them at a little more risk in order to make some men happy" is a terrible one. Except for Men's Rights activists of course.
Nope. Unless you think women's safety must be sacrificed in order to provide extra safety for a group of males, which I don't. Because that would be giving extra rights to those males by reducing rights for all women.
Women are not support animals for men. NOt even unhappy men who really want to be women.
Depends what you mean by trans. But according to all accepted theories of child development, someone's sense of their own identity only becomes fixed during and after puberty.
Wow, you took three days to misrepresent my post. I would have expected a better effort. Yes, I asked a question regarding the wisdom or otherwise of medicalising "normal" childhood behaviour. The question equally applies to adolescents who may be having a difficult time for one reason or another. You linked to the Yale study: one of the authors, Johanna Olson-Kennedy, advocates removing breasts of early teens, on the basis that " if they want breasts later, they can get them". Is that moral or ethical?
I and a number of others have highlighted problems with the report you linked (as well as the source, which surely undermines your Daily Mail slurs). Do you have any comments on those observations, or have you even read the report you linked?
Sorry, I tried to quote @volchitsa's post about Gliiner's tweet being a joke.
And it was most likely a nod to the "if you meet a terf, punch them in the face" comment.
Too many of these stories hitting now. The very popular well-known Brighton Trans group leader sitting in prison for sexually abusing young trans kids is horrible and despicable. Reading about that last week - name escapes me.
Little wonder that an increasing number of trans sexual, gay & lesbians are loudly calling for the protection of single sex spaces. How many anti-trans critics are in prison for raping and sexual abusing trans adults or children? Does anyone know? Any at all? Is there even one? Going by this thread though, shouting about punching a man in the balls on SM is worthy of a prison sentence and legal crime, equal to that of the abuse of children that these trans have carried out. Calling people hateful bigots with intense hate leaves no room for self awareness, it seems.
Fella has 270,000 tweets. Clearly not right in the head.
Twitter has really destroyed peoples lives.
Look at the tweet, like I suggested.
This might blow your mind but some (a lot really) of these "men, violent men, same as they've always been", are now saying that they are actually women, and nowadays this gives them even more avenues to abuse women. I mean, abusive men gaming the system, who would have ever thought this could happen?
Case in point, the guy who was mentioned earlier for harassing Tish Hyman in the women's locker room at a gym in LA actually has a conviction for domestic abuse against his wife, whose name he then took when he decided to identify as a woman in a clear attempt to further the abuse. Now he's in womens changing rooms abusing them and it's all well and good according to you despite the fact he went through the courts for "actual violence" against women, all because he now says he's a woman.
And honestly, what he did is on the minor side of what trans identified men are currently doing, all enabled by people like you espousing the nonsense about anyone who says they're a woman is one etc. For example
At least the bbc is reporting the reality now, otherwise they would have pretended that an actual woman did that, and the the victim wouldn't have been allowed to say her piece without being attacked by the likes of you for "misgendering"
The extreme hate that jumps on anything going and takes it to the extreme has been with us since the dawn of time. Thankfully I don’t know any extreme bigots, other than reading the rhetoric thrown around on SM. Like burn the terfs, kill, rape them etc to the other side’s horrible hate towards gay, lesbians, bisexuals, butch women and feminine men.
The trans ideology that has come out as wholly misogynist is despicable. Taking away women’s rights as written in law to simply say no, their right to a safe place in hospitals, rape crisis centres, in employment and across services.. destroying gay & lesbian established pride in their community by prioritising trans over everything else.
So hate has a lot to answer for in every walk in life. Most arguments here though are fair, sound and logical. The accusations against trans critics is less logical. As stated before I’m not a Glinner fan, as my mother used to say “He’s an awful auld mouth on him”
Graham is correct.
Men (no matter how they identify) shouldn't be in the ladies toilets, showers, changing rooms etc …
Men, (no matter how they identify) should not be in women's toilets, showers, or changing rooms etc … Women & girls need to protect their dignity, their modesty and their privacy, never mind feeling secure when in a state of undress. Barry may now identify as Linda, he may identify as a trans "woman", but as Graham correctly points out, Linda (male) should NOT be in the ladies/girls facilities. Period.
Is 'Glinner' his real name or some (un)social media nickname?
Not really interested in your silly games to be totally honest.
You were speaking on his behalf in this thread yesterday, summarising his position while omitting some key information. Have a close look at the tweet I posted yesterday and I'm sure you'll work it out.
I don't know who 'Glinner' is but at least I now know, thanks to you, that he's male.
