The other day, I was asking my grandmother about her childhood. That got me thinking - what will MY future grandchildren say when I tell them about my childhood? Thread about how I imagine this will go:

#SexMatters #SexNotGender #LetWomenSpeak #RespectMySex
2/12

Future Grandchild (FG): What was life like when you were young?

Me: Well… misogyny was celebrated, stereotypes encouraged & healthy kids embarked on lifelong medical nightmares.

FG: What? Did that actually happen?

Me: Oh, believe me, it did.

#WomenWontWheest #misogyny
3/12

FG: How?

Me: There were these men who wore dresses, liked pink and did other stereotypical feminine things. They decided they were ACTUALLY women.

FG: You’re joking!

Me: I’m not!

4/12

FG: But everyone still knew they were men, right? I mean, wearing a dress doesn’t make you a woman.
5/12
Me: Actually, you HAD to treat them as women otherwise you were branded a horrible, hateful bigot.

If you said anything to do with supporting biology, people screamed “bigot” in your face.

FG: But doesn’t being a bigot mean being intolerant of other people’s beliefs?
6/12

Me: Yup. The people who were calmly voicing our opinions were bigots, but the ones screaming abuse at anyone who disagreed with them, were stunning & brave.

FG: Stop exaggerating! There’s no WAY things were that bad!

Me: I’m not exaggerating at all!

7/12

FG: Tell me about something normal! What was school like?

Me: Oh boy. School.

FG: What was so bad about school?

Me: Well there was one time when my SCIENCE teacher tried to indoctrinate me into a biology denying cult.

FG: Seriously?

9/12

Me: Seriously! She told me that your reproductive system has nothing to do with whether you're a boy or a girl. This was my science teacher.

FG: Grandma, did this actually happen?

10/12

Me: Yes! Another time, one of my teachers told me that some girls have penises!

FG: Was your teacher joking?

Me: No! And a ridiculous number of people said the same thing.

11/12

Me: You wouldn’t believe the amount of newspaper articles about someone exposing “her penis”!

FG: No way. That’s just ridiculous!

Me: I’m so glad sanity has returned!

FG: Did you just make this up to shock me?

Me: Nope!

#SexNotGender #Safeguarding #NoToSelfID
12/12

FG: And I suppose that men were congratulated for beating women in sport competitions!

Me: Well done! You’re finally starting to realise what life was like back then.

FG: Oh. That didn’t actually happen, did it?!?! I was joking!

Me: Life WAS a bit of a joke back then.

Over the last few years, along with the TWAW chant, trans rights extremists have said some pretty ridiculous things! Here are some of the craziest:

“Gender neutral toilets are fine. We all have them in our own homes!”
I mean, who amongst us hasn’t encountered an unknown male in our private toilet?! What a winning argument! (And they still make it. All. The. Time.🤦‍♀️)

“Nobody can tell a transwoman from a biological woman.”
Nope. Far too difficult. There is absolutely no way that I can spot the TIM here!

Has anyone ever heard of the song “One Man and his Dog 🐶, Went to Mow a Meadow”? Ever since some revelations today 👀, it’s been reverberating around my brain. And now, for your delectation, I share my new version.

@BluskyeAllison #IStandWithAllisonBailey #SexMatters
🎶One man went to answer, went to answer questions.
One man and his dog, went to answer questions.🎶

🎶His mum came to help, his mum came to help him. This full grown man had, his mum come to help him.🎶
ALL TOGETHER NOW!

1/6 My school is fully captured by the #TransCult. As I’m able to differentiate fact from fiction, I often find myself standing alone against the madness.

#GenderWoo #GenderWooWoo #SexMatters #SexNotGender #WomenWontWheest #WomensRightsAreHumanRights #WomensRights #WeWillBeHeard
2/6 My classmates AND the teachers try to intimidate me but I refuse to be silenced. I take every chance I can to stand against the gender insanity. Case in point? A recent reading survey.

#IStandWithJKRowling #IStandWithAllisonBailey #RespectMySex
3/6 I was given a form to fill out about books & authors.

First question: “Who is your favourite author?”

Of course I put @jk_rowling not just because of her books (outstanding as they are!) but because of her amazing work standing up for the rights of women & girls.

1/10 In school, there is one genderwoo-obsessed handmaiden who claims to be a lesbian. (Note that word “claims” - that bit is important.)

#SexMatters #SexNotGender #SexIsReal #WhatIsAWoman #AdultHumanFemale
2/10 Last week she insisted on asking me about my “transphobic” views. I asked her how she, as a lesbian, could support a cult that seeks to erase both women AND same-sex attraction?

#SexNotGender #BiologyIsNotBigotry #TransCult #LGBDropTheT #SexMatters #SexIsImmutable
3/10 She told me that TRAs do nothing of the sort. I pointed out that women are being kicked off lesbian dating sites, for saying they won’t date men. Which OF COURSE they won’t. These women are lesbians i.e. exclusively same-SEX attracted females.

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

1/11 Recently my entire school was given a form to fill out. It was all about preferred pronouns and inclusive language. 🙄 We’d already had a class where we spoke about “inclusive language” so I knew what they WANTED me to put. #SexMatters #SexNotGender #Biology
2/11 The first question was, “Would you ever use the phrase “hi guys”?” Seriously?!? They're trying to get you to say no because a TIM might take offence even though in Ireland we often use the word guy for boys AND girls. #WomensRightsAreHumanRights #SexIsReal #Biology
3/11 The next one, “What pronouns are YOU comfortable with when being addressed by someone else? He/She/They/One/Other.” What the hell? Who ADDRESSES someone using he or she?
