    A) it’s the Guardian - so woke even the most awake feel themselves going to ****ing sleep
    B) The feelings of Trans in this scenario are irrelevant - it’s the equivalent of a honey trap in which even if you are the victim you are wrong because transphobia

    I havent read the Guardian in over a decade, I got horribly bored of it one Sunday, and never bought it again. Nonetheless its a large circulation mainstream newspaper and that is a very public platform on which to gaslight a young woman.
    Would it be done to a heterosexual male or female? If not, why not?

    The Guardian does blind dates. The people who go are interviewed for an article afterwards. On the latest blind date the Guardian set up a lesbian, Anna, with a transwoman called Jen. Anna was not told the blind date was trans. Later Anna decided she was not interested in more dates, she was very polite about it, she was called transphobic online.

    This at the very least is rude, perhaps even malicious. Lesbians are attracted to females. That is the essential factor of same sex attraction. Same sex-ness. They put that young woman in an unpleasant position publicly.


    It was entirely malicious on the part of the person known as Jen. The Guardian have said they weren’t aware of that particularly relevant factor as Jen had never disclosed it at any point.

    The twitter thread has more -

    I think they pre interview, at least they should for safe guarding, otherwise for a public media business it would be utter madness to blindly send off the blind daters.
    In an interview they would have had at the very least strong suspicions, as Jen retains a fairly masculine appearance. But yet they sent off a 23 year old girl...

    Absolutely not because someone is going to come to harm pulling this stunt with a straight male. This isn’t out of the ordinary though- these trans types like to target women because they will never be them, no matter how much surgery or right ons they get from the woke ones, they will never be female. And that hurts them on so many levels

    I dont think that is why women are targeted, because they are an unattainable goal. That would seem strange. But maybe they are targeted because there is a split among women, with a good many having bought into gender theory as it allies closely with present wave feminism. So a divided cohort is more easily assailed. But I dont know for sure, it is confusing. And multifaceted. It may even be an ironic continuation of the submissive good girl doing what she is told by authoritarian voices.

    I think HorrorScope means that for these people, being a woman is the unattainable goal, they crave acceptance as women. It’s more of the “cotton ceiling” nonsense.

    I’m all for the law regarding everyone equally, but that sort of thing I think women have every right to say nope! I’d happily see anyone harassing them for doing so, prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

    I just heard of a great retort for if somebody asks you what your pronouns are: “Why, are you planning to talk about me behind my back?”. :D

    I saw this for the first time today on an Irish LinkedIn profile. Their name was down as “Jane Bloggs (she, her)”. This just annoyed me, I think it’s a way for people to feel sanctimonious about how “woke” they are.

    Don't you mean her name?

    This is getting ridiculous now and I wish someone with real power and influence would say it (rather than me...on boards...at 7am..)

    There are only 2 genders and about 15 mental disorders!

    Putin has spoken openly about the subject, is he powerful enough?

    That's the most Twitter thing to creep into LinkedIn.

    There are only 2 genders.

    Trans men are not biological men.

    Trans women are not biological women.

    Gender dysphoria is a mental illness.

    Mental illness should not be treated with surgery.

    All of these things are true.

    Has only ever been done in silence of the lambs 2, though that may have been for nutrition purposes.
