1/ Judith Butler once again demonstrating that a minority of women are capable of being woman-hating, penis pandering, vicious zealots. All the while imagining that they’re being deliciously transgressive.

Woman-hatred is not new. It’s not radical. It’s just disgraceful.
2/ Feminism & recognising females as distinct from males, safe spaces, safeguarding & enforceable, legal protections from men, were not based on the belief that “ALL men are rapists or that the penis wields this nefarious power”, just that there exists a profound statistical risk
3/ Butler accuses JKR & therefore all survivors of having “fostered hatred & misunderstanding & perhaps capitalised on a history of sexual trauma”.

It‘s a special kind of woman that would say such a thing, of another named woman, who has been bombarded with threats & abuse.
4/ Pay attention. Butler & her ilk are driving this attack on women, opening up the floodgates to any man that wants to abuse women & trample over our rights, while barely concealing their hard-on.

Fightback in 2021, with all you have. #ThisIsNotADrill.

1/ In a week that has brought hope to so many, this piece by @jo_bartosch is especially good. It captures the bravery of whistleblower Susan Evans, former psychiatric nurse at GIDS, on the Puberty Blockers scandal.
2/ GIDS: ‘Between 2016 and 2019, a total of 35 clinicians left the Tavistock, many reporting concerns. One psychologist, who wished to remain anonymous, feared that “young people are being over-diagnosed and then over-medicalised”.
3/ GIDS ‘Others felt the influence of lobby groups on clinical practice.
It also highlighted claims of homophobic attitudes among the parents of children attending the clinic, with some allegedly appearing to prefer their children to be transgender and straight, rather than gay.’

1/ What turns a child into an adult? Puberty. It follows that if a 10 year old is given puberty blockers & 8 years later, legally an adult, decides to take cross - sex hormones, having missed this crucial stage in human development, is this really the consent of an adult?
2/ Adulthood isn’t merely the passage of time. It’s about physiological, sexual & cognitive development, including independence of thought. PBs block all of this. They deliver physically, sexually & emotionally immature ‘adults’ into the arms of big pharma & the trans lobby.
3/ This is why PBs in gender dysphoria are *completely* different to PBs for precocious puberty. A 7 yr old taking PBs to stop an early puberty will be on them for a short time before experiencing full puberty. A GD child on PBs will not & will never complete normal development.

1/ #KeiraBell judgement 3rd (and final) take!

Court held under 16’s can only take puberty blockers if competent to understand the nature of them BUT also that there will be “enormous difficulties“ in obtaining proper consent.

Under 14’s “highly unlikely”
2/ Falls short of saying no under 16’s could consent but comes very close.

Under 18’s, still great difficulties with consent but presumption that they *may* be able to give informed consent.

All must obtain court order.
3/ Still a great victory!

1/ Ask any oncologist about GnRH analogues & they’ll likely tell you that they can be extremely effective at treating hormone sensitive disease, including cancer but their side effects are often unbearable & long term.
2/ Ask many patients who take or have taken GnRH analogues & you will hear stories of chronic insomnia, memory loss, depression, loss of sexual function & desire, osteoporosis and worse. It is a scandal that we are administering these drugs to healthy children & young people.
3/ It‘s not the same as treating a precocious puberty. That child will go through a normal puberty with the hormone protection and related benefits to their health and well-being. They will not be rendered sterile before being blasted with massive doses of cross-sex hormones.

1/ I follow (and am followed by) people from across the political spectrum. We share a commitment to reversing the extremist agenda of the LGBT trans lobby; preserving women's sex-based rights & protecting children & vulnerable young people from puberty blockers & sterilisation.
2/ Those that don’t know me are surprised at my relief at a Biden / Harris win. You shouldn’t be. I’m a Democrat. And democracy was teetering on the brink. Am I fan of Biden? No, not especially. Don’t I know that both Biden & Harris have drunk the TWAW Kool-Aid? I do.
3/ Although I wished for a Biden / Harris victory, I feared it. I’m not alone. The Equality Act / HR5 is stalled in the Republican controlled senate. That’s a relief. If passed by a Dem controlled senate it will erase women’s sex based rights. Notions of gender will replace sex.

1/ A Thread: ‘Come Together’, 1970-73, edited by Aubrey Walter, 1980, Verso Books.

Thank you to @RozKaveney for encouraging me down this path. Roz called me & the @ALLIANCELGB ’scabs’. I objected. She doubled down.
2/ Roz said that LGBA ”opposes some of the most basic demands“ of the Gay Liberation Front, founded in 1970, specifically the participation of trans people.

’Come Together‘ provides a snapshot of that early history.

It was supposed to be evidence that LGBA are traitors.
3/ ’Coming Together’ shows that LGBA is entirely true to the history of the GLF movement. To say the movement’s history included contributions from trans people is correct; to say that trans people were central to or a focus of the GLF, is not.
