@ctvottawa The hijacking that occurred on #IWD2023 showed #canpoli & funded orgs shamelessly falling over themselves to centre males. They exposed themselves as having done nothing of significance to address real issues affecting women #OnTheBasisOfSex, like repro rights, #femicide, #VAW.
@ctvottawa #Canadians are told ‘there’s no gender equality without trans women’, but no one can back up the rhetoric with substance. No one can answer the simple inquiring question, Why?

Why are female sex-based rights & protections as enshrined in the @CanadianCharter being held hostage?
@ctvottawa @CanadianCharter Why are males, especially rapists and violent offenders who begin identifying as trans after their crimes and convictions, being placed in the Women's prison estate? And all this against the Geneva convention.

The entirety of trans ideology comes down to what the words boy/girl/man/woman actually mean.

I know society doesn't have a great track record for accepting people who differ from social norms, but I think consensus can be reached that if boys want to play with dolls and wear
dresses, then they shouldn't be demonised for doing so. Similarly, girls should not be forced to do those things. They shouldn't be encouraged to be "non-conforming" but they shouldn't be ostracized if they don't conform.

None of that, however, changes what the words boy/girl
mean. They refer to the biological characteristics the child is born with.

A boy who presents as feminine is still a boy, just as a girl who presents as masculine is still a girl - simply because the words boy/girl are used to refer to people's bodies. That's just how language

Unsere Stellungnahme zum „Bundesweite[n] Aktionsplan für Akzeptanz und Schutz sexueller und geschlechtlicher Vielfalt“ der Bundesregierung

#FrauenSagenNein

lasst-frauen-sprechen.de/stellungnahme-…
Wir begrüßen, dass die Bundesregierung mit ihrem Aktionsplan die Belange lesbischer und bisexueller Frauen stärker berücksichtigen (Punkt 2.1) und gegen sexuelle Gewalt bei Jugendlichen angehen möchte (Punkt 3.6). Wir weisen jedoch darauf hin, dass dies ein leeres Versprechen ist
wenn Geschlecht nicht biologisch verstanden wird und wenn diese Definition nicht von internalisierten Geschlechterstereotypen („Geschlechtsidentität“) abgegrenzt wird. Eine Frau ist ein erwachsener Mensch weiblichen Geschlechts,

How womens restrooms can be made more inclusive: a thread 🧵
1. Remove bathroom locks - locks in bathrooms create a sense of hostility and may make many folk feel unwelcome. This is particularly important for people who want access to join someone else in their cubicle. (cont..)
The removal of locks would transfer bathrooms from isolationist spaces (with notions of neoliberal individualism) into collective, social spaces, creating a better sense of community and solidarity amongst women, & facilitating more effective organization for womens liberation.

Jason Isaacs is a family favorite in my house, so this has gone down like a lead balloon.
Starting off with uncertainty, you may be uncertain but I am not. War and armageddon may frighten you but women have another concern closer to home.
We too are uncertain but unlike you we
are uncertain of the stability of our rights.
Our concern comes not from nudity, but from context.
A person sang about their superiority, the superiority of their prosthetic breasts that would never go saggy, and then proceeded to strip naked exposing "their" penis.
Women have a right to feel outraged by a FLASHER.
So what about the watershed? Just because we are old enough to view nudity does not mean that we must feel comfortable with it.
You may have seen this as celebratory but if your spaces are being given over to an innate sense of

It would be fine to have a male@person in this role if we had addressed the health issues which surround menstruation. Women usually suffer for about a decade before being diagnosed with endometriosis and then there is a bit of a “nae luck” outcome as the treatment is not great
So, it’s quite hard to accept that my government, who say they want to establish Scotland as global leaders in womens health, have appointed a male person who has no background in womens health or womens issues to sort out the taboos and stigma which surround our female functions
I’m sure this chap is enthusiastic about his role, but it is going to take more than a red polo shirt to get women to engage in talking about menstruation. Especially women of faith, women who want privacy and women who are rolling their eyes so hard they now have a headache.

Fabian Schmid verliert kein einziges Wort darüber, wie es Frauen eigentlich geht. Als er mich letzten Sommer mehrmals als Menschenfeindin diffamierte und ich dadurch mehrere Shitstorm kassierte, interessierte es ihn kein bisschen. 🧵 Ich war hochschwanger und bekam in der Nacht
auf den 1. Juli wegen des ganzen Stress Herzrasen, einen Puls von 160, der sechs Stunden anhalten sollte. Mir wurde vom Notarzt 2x Adenosin gespritzt. Ein Mittel, das kurzzeitig einen Herzstillstand erwirkt, und damit das Herz zwingt in den Sinus-Rhythmus zurückzukehren.
Die Spritzen halfen nicht, aber ich weiß bis jetzt noch wie sich anfühlt, wenn das Herz droht stehen zu bleiben. Und ich dachte die ganze Zeit an meinen Sohn im Bauch und wollte unbedingt einen Ultraschall. Man brachte mich ins KH Nord, wo ich bis 5:50 Uhr morgens

1/9 🚨 Latest Update from my “Inclusive” School:

This week in SPHE (social, personal and health education) we were discussing puberty and how our bodies develop in adolescence.

2/9 The teacher taking the class has been trying to make my life rather difficult since I started asking questions and raising the issue of women’s rights. I suspect he is a men’s rights activist and quite possibly a misogynist too.

#WomensRightsAreHumanRights #SexMatters
3/9 Anyway, during this class he asked, “Can you tell me something that boys have, that girls don’t, that grows in puberty?” “Penises!” yelled a classmate.

1/10 Recently a teacher told my class that a baby can be “assigned” the wrong sex at birth… and that is how a man can “actually” be a woman. I rolled my eyes so much it’s a wonder they didn’t roll right out of my head! #SexIsObserved #SexMatters #SexIsReal #SexNotGender
2/10 I said, “No. Sex is observed and recorded, not assigned. If you have a penis you are a male.” It was at this point that a fellow student chipped in. #BiologyIsNotBigotry #Biology #WomenWontWheest #WeWillBeHeard #SexMatters #SexNotGender #SexIsImmutable
3/10 “Being trans is like being told you're right-handed all your life then realising you're actually left-handed,” she said. #NoThankYou #WhatIsAWoman #AdultHumanFemale #KPSS #BiologyIsNotBigotry

A lot of people are complaining about the erasure of the word "woman".

It's not true, of course you are still allowed to use the word "woman," you just have to be aware of specific rules as to when.

Here's a handy guide which tells you when you can and can't use it -
