Summary of the #TerfCutter #LynnBoylan debacle this week.
2/8
On Thursday, I was casually scrolling through Twitter, when I came across this disgusting, misogynistic tweet. An insult to women and a threat against them in one image. #WomensRightsAreHumanRights
3/8
Happily it only had one “like”. Out of curiosity, I clicked in to find out what misogynist had liked the tweet. I was shocked to discover that the person who had liked the tweet was Lynn Boylan @LNBDublin. A senator from @sinnfeinireland
4/8
Lynn Boylan, a woman who claims to be a feminist, liked a tweet that celebrates violence against women. I found this outrageous and decided to confront her on twitter. This is not the sort of behaviour I expect from public figures.
5/8
Although I was outraged, my tweet to Lynn Boylan was perfectly civil but Lynn’s first action was to block me.
6/8
Since then Lynn Boylan has deactivated her account. The cowardice. Why doesn’t she just admit she was wrong and apologise? I mean, we teach toddlers how to do this. Why can’t a fully grown woman take responsibility for her actions?
7/8
A big thank you to @iseult, @TheCountessIE and everyone whose combined actions helped to shine a light on the everyday misogyny women experience in Ireland. Violent threats are completely unacceptable and no politician should ever endorse them in any way. #EverdayMisogyny
8/8
Also, the sticker in the picture Lynn Boylan liked, has since been removed thanks to some lads I know down in Dublin. Thanks to them as well - you know who you are!

I am sick to death of TRAs trying to dismiss our arguments because they claim “TERFs are all just white middle-aged women” or some similar twaddle.
2/4
First of all, the notion that we are all just “white middle-aged women” is completely incorrect. Women of every skin colour, every background, every class are fighting gender ideology.
3/4
Then the middle-aged thing.🙄 We come in all ages! Teenaged TERF here!🙋‍♀️ Obviously NOT middle-aged. I’m acquainted with several TERFs who are 70+. Women who knew serious oppression for being women and who won’t let history repeat itself.

By “being kind” you are supposed let men compete in women’s sports and then celebrate the cheating d***s.

That’s not kindness. That’s misogyny.
2/6
By “being kind” you are supposed to not speak out against (male) rapists being incarcerated alongside women.

That’s not kindness. That’s betraying your sisters.
3/6
By “being kind” you are supposed to let men expose themselves to young girls in changing rooms and then tell the girl she shouldn’t have looked.

That’s the furthest thing from kind.

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!

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!

🎶One man, his mum and his dog went to answer questions.

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.
