"The events in Auckland should be a wake-up call for liberals everywhere. We glimpsed the iron fist of authoritarianism that lurks in the velvet glove of ‘Be Kind’. The misogynistic streak in trans extremism is undeniable now. "

It is important to distinguish zero-cost "liberty rights" (such as free speech) from zero-sum "claim rights" (such as private property or participation in a restricted sport category).

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claim_rig…

Male bodies should not colonize female-only spaces. Image
As a general rule, men pretend to be women for access to private spaces, while women have pretended to be men for access to public spaces and opportunity.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentheus

This is an important distinction.
If one accepts public spaces are the divine right of men, as is the case in Afghanistan or many other parts of the world, Bragg is right. Male entitlement is under direct attack, and compromised.

But why were female-only spaces created?
What public policy do they serve?

Still?

I cannot recommend Affirmation Generation strongly enough, especially for those new to these issues. It is engaging with up-to-the-minute data, both viewable AND downloadable via vimeo.com/800032857. Image
I particularly loved this graphic which shows the lock-step #gendergrift factory model. Image
My lightly-adapted, emoji version, with slightly more emphasis on the dangers of "social transition," which study shows is more of a launch pad than short respite. Image

One cannot talk about "sex" in biology without acknowledging anisogamy, and that is the key error in this (often-referenced) thread.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisogamy
The definition of sex (across kingdoms) is tied to gametes, whether plant or animal.



Male gametes are small and motile.
Female gamers are large and sessile.

Sex is determined by what gametes a structure, organ or individual can support.
This trait is more fundamental to eukaryotic organisms than things as key as "body plan" or biological symmetry.

Good people who essentially trust institutions have trouble understanding the main issues with "pediatric transition" because they don't understand it is a business model.

The pediatric #gendergrift is not medicine so much as an assembly-line toward easy profit.

🧵 A thread…
Naive parents and youth think they are "buying in" to a science-based treatment regimen, but the profit model is not in curing or health but in creating lifelong medical patients, through induced anxiety and a series of systematically replicable, fairly low-skill steps.
"Gender identity" is modern phrenology, asserting that everyone has a special essence that can somehow be "born in the wrong body," separate from sexist stereotypes and homophobia, discernible by only the most subtly enlightened.
