Female people are underpaid at work, expected to perform the vast majority of unpaid labour in the home, and subjected to abuses such as FGM and child marriage BECAUSE of what's between their legs

If we don't care about sex, we can't care about sexism

So bitterly disappointed
'Women have to support other women' says @MhairiBlack as she throws women to the wolves.

If what is between peoples legs is of no consequence then why do we sex segregate prisons? Why is the UN campaigning for sex segregated toilets in other parts of the world?

COME ON.
@MhairiBlack It is utterly heartbreaking to see clever female politicians - politicians I admired - come out with this incoherent nonsense.

Mhairi Black is better than this - I know she is.

This is my parents cat. He has just sicked on the carpet. Earlier he pissed in the hall. His name is 'Mighty' but he's terrified of tin foil.

He is the world's crappest cat. Bless.
In the style of Attenborough's Dynasties:

This is Mighty, fighting to survive in the wild. Unfortunately, Mighty has seen a small mouse and become startled. He is hiding now.
Mighty is hungry. But can a cat find a single morsel of roast beef flung from a humans dinner plate in this bloody forest? A cat cannot. Mighty decides to lay down and die.

The ultimate aim - as with everything - is for trans women to compete in women's sports on a self ID basis. With no gatekeeping whatsoever. Because biological males are female if they say so.

I mean that escalated quick, didn't it, from 'We just want to pee in peace.'
In 2019 fight with all your might. Before your daughters have nothing: no safe, sex segregated spaces, no sports, no workable laws to protect them from sex discrimination.

When I first started talking about this issue, my friends scoffed and dismissed me as alarmist when I said
we would have biologically male rapists in women's prisons. The sheer rapidity with which the next frontiers and boundaries are being torn through is frightening.

And it won't stop. What seems alarmist today will be tomorrow's new reality. At what point will you say: enough.

When an ideology lacks coherence and nothing its proponents claim makes any sense, remember ladies to just shut up.

When male people say they are female, but also that there is no such thing as a distinct female sex class, then good girls like Fiona stay quiet and listen.
Fiona doesn't ask inconvenient questions or expect anything to make sense. No. Fiona accepts that her role is to accommodate; to absorb; to defer.

Which is lovely.
And apparently if you do this for long enough, you find none of it's confusing anymore!

Even lovelier. So perhaps then, Fiona, you could explain to me just *how* male people are female if they say so, while at the same time a distinct female sex class does not exist?

I will stand with any victim of sexual abuse against any abuser, even if I don't agree with them on other critical issues.
We're all familiar with right-patriarchy ("pro-life," nuclear family, religion, traditional gender roles, mandatory child rearing, marriage as ownership, etc.). But this isn't the only milieu in which patriarchy flourishes and finds expression. Patriarchy exists left and right.
We need to recognize left-patriarchy, which is characterized by the glamorization of "sex work," embrace of pornography, fetishization of sexuality, the normalization of polyamory to the detriment of women, etc.

I'm really not happy with intersex orgs attempting to destroy recognition of gender (read sex) based violence at international law level in my name. This may be a lengthy thread, I apologise in advance.

Firstly, I think we need to remember what Crimes Against Humanity (CAH) means. International crimes are the worst crimes carried out under a chain of command/responsibility (e.g. war crimes, genocide etc). They are perpetuated by a state against civilians.
IGM is an awful practice but it does not fall under this remit. It is a human rights violation, this is not disputed, but CAH is not the law or arena with which to deal with this.

Some initial thoughts on the Mueller/Cohen memo, it is irrelevant that another Russian reached out to him about getting a Trump Moscow Tower built when he was already working with Russians to try to get it built, also that's not illegal. Also he turned him down lol. Weak stuff
"Second, Cohen provided the SCO with useful information concerning discrete Russia-related matters core to its investigation that he obtained by virtue of his regular contact with company executives during the campaign"

This is about the Trump Tower Don JR meeting no doubt. Lame
Comey got fired in May, 2017. Mueller probably asked him to talk to him about obstruction blah blah blah what he heard from people in the White House about it blah blah blah

This is so ridiculous and nothing. A bunch of legal activity being used to try to jam people up again.

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

no one leaves home unless home chases you
fire under feet
hot blood in your belly
it’s not something you ever thought of doing
until the blade burnt threats into
your neck
and even then you carried the anthem under
your breath

#home #warsanshire #poems
#WhereAreTheChildren
only tearing up your passport in an airport toilets
sobbing as each mouthful of paper
made it clear that you wouldn’t be going back.

you have to understand,
that no one puts their children in a boat
unless the water is safer than the land
no one burns their palms
under trains
beneath carriages
no one spends days and nights in the stomach of a truck
feeding on newspaper unless the miles travelled
means something more than journey.
no one crawls under fences
no one wants to be beaten
pitied

Maybe #Labour people feel smug after the Tories' self-indulgent misery-fest. They shouldn't. Theirs was a state too.
A load of people gathering for a self-congratulatory slap on each others' backs, having achieved the square root of jack nothing.
Come back when you've halved child poverty or created the National Parks. Until then, take a good look at yourselves and your smuggery.
