For real?
Why are some people not mentally ill?
Why so into reality?
Why won’t they say they like porn-style sex? Why don’t they the perform gender stereotypes of the opposite sex?
Why don’t they hate their bodies?
Lesson one: There’s no such thing as cis, only those with a mind/body disconnect, and those without.
However your body looks/whatever your mind feels, it’s still the same mind/body. That’s what makes you YOU.
Lesson two: You are what you are. No surgery in the world changes that
Lesson three: You are being commodified.

euphoria/dysphoria
suicide ideation
how you have sex/never have sex/never will have sex
as you slice & dice yourself into the appropriate shape of your chosen gender
you will never stop making $$$ for industry.
Lesson four: They are selling you a big fat lie.
Do you pass? In your head?
Do you never wake up as your real self and breathe in the nightmare of pretence that says you have to do it all again today?
For the rest of your life?
What a way to live.
Lesson five: Predatory men lead where you follow, and follow where you lead.
From John Money & Monica Helms to Karen White & Dana Rivers,
your movement is rooted in a system of control, abuse and rage.
You are now part of it
feeding from and into their tragedies and triumphs.
Lesson six: If you can’t hear, you must feel.
You rail against biological determinism, but hold onto technodeterminism with the fatalism of fanatics.
But which are you more likely to lose if, say, supply lines fail or electricity goes down:
your male genes
or your male jeans?
It’s not us saying #SexNotGender. It’s everything outside of your fantasy world (that I know means a lot to you, but is not real).
It’s just not real.
But let me leave you to find that out.
Nobody ever learned their lesson just by being told.
There really is no way forward but to #RepealTheGRA.
This is a definitive clash between Gender Reassignment otoh, and Sex, Sexuality & Belief oto.
GR, without the practical enforcement of its legal certificate, is little more than personality expressed via gender stereotypes.
But because in reality it’s a psychological condition, it’s inescapably locked into escalation.
I feel like a man (euphoria)
I look like a man (validation)
I’m treated as a man (confirmation)
Treat me like a man (inclusion)
See me as a man (imposition)
Say I’m a man (control)
This escalation set it on a fixed course from its beginning,
to override the Protected Characteristics that would otherwise undermine it.
Sex renders GR a fiction.
Sexuality reveals it as constructed, not innate.
Belief denies it outright.
participation in the further monstering of a woman YOU KNOW has received threats and abuse.
The claim is you’ve abused your position to bully and traduce writers who believe sex matters,
not “who don’t agree with [your] support of the trans community.”
Support who you like.
Just don’t pretend it’s compatible with being scrupulously fair and neutral when your support takes the form of interacting with “satirical” attacks on women’s fears of violence, liking and retweeting bullying campaigns, and targeting those women whose views you disagree with.
Transing children IS conversion therapy.
It takes gender non conforming boys who don’t like trucks and assumes they are really girls.
It takes gender non conforming girls who DO like trucks, and assumes they are boys.
And it proceeds to then medicalise them, as young as possible,
with drugs that stop their bodies from developing normally, with normal function and natural appearance;
and it feeds them cross-sex hormones to take on the outward appearance of the opposite sex - which their bodies cannot cope with - so they develop problems, from bone issues,
“I disagree with gender critical people” is being used as justification to do increasingly bad things.
To surround a fellow schoolgirl and swear and spit on her. To don black balaclavas and shove and manhandle women. To intimidate libraries with threats of arson. To target Black
To disrupt conferences talking about the lives of women and girls around the world. To deny single sex services to rape survivors. To ensure female prisoners have no protection from male-bodied inmates. To derail abortion campaigns.
To shut down questions about the high rates of girls transitioning.
To avoid questions of pharmaceutical funding, growth markets for PBs, and younger patients as a customer base for life.
And don’t get me started on the early sexualisation of children & the end of safeguarding …
Can I ask you to read this report?
I know it’s hard to care about prisoners in the main, but I think we should all care about a prison system used to effectively torture individual prisoners, and disproportionately Black, Asian or working-class prisoners. What’s that about?
We know IPP sentences have been phased out and condemned as inhumane and unjust, but the prison service continues to justify those that remain active, using spurious claims - including some entirely invented charges. What’s that about?
We also know how the trauma of an IPP sentence can induce and exacerbate MH conditions; how uncertainty and isolation can cause prisoners to externalise thought patterns that can then be diagnosed as schizophrenia; and how that can lead to a medication-or-else ultimatum, trapping
If you untether society from material reality, you set it spinning off in directions you can’t control.
What’ll be the result of a law that says anyone can be a man or a woman if they say so?
You either discount your own senses or you discount the law, yes?
Can’t both be right.
If you discount your senses, trust suffers. Relationships suffer. Cohesion suffers. People become embittered against others or themselves.
Truth matters. Personally.
If you discount the law, civics suffers. Cohesion suffers. Society suffers. And there’s a personal cost
to individuals in crime and fear and further hardships.
Truth is *essential to the law. There can be no fairness in society without acknowledging the objective truth, a starting point, without which there’s no possible route to fairness, compromise, progress.
