The most inhumane thing you can do is force r@ped women to have men in their presence. I didn’t think anyone would dream of punching down on women in a shelter. I was wrong.
And it just happened again. 1/
That last one was in Canada. This one is in Edinburgh. From The Times comes a story of councillors considering cuts to a domestic abuse shelter bc it is for women only.
The councillors are considering punishing the women bc they are daring to say no to men. 2/
The shelter in the first post in this thread also lost funding. What kind of civil rights movement strips shelter women of funding???
This is punching as low as you can go. Unless they go after neonatal units. I can’t think of anything worse. 3/
Both of these shelters are run exclusively by women and for exclusively women who have been r@ped and battered. And activists have decided to threaten women at Edinburgh Legal Aid.
I have no words. I’m speechless.

The terrorist group is planning a series of attacks on senior politician’s offices. The group is called Bash Back and they attacked a women’s conference recently.
Who are they? What do they want? 1/
They are a terrorist group that will attack anyone who dares cross them. This was a feminist conference called FILIA. They can’t tolerate the idea of women having any spaces for themselves. 2/
They aren’t hiding their intentions. Nor their tactics. They write “ensure your target can be hit repeatedly until they desist”.
At heart they are toddlers throwing a tantrum. But in dangerous adult bodies.
“The authors argue that “gendered” pregnancy care is too focused on helping women have healthy babies, and that it might be okay for transmen to continue taking testosterone during pregnancy despite the known health risks to the fetus and effects on its normal development. The desire for “normal fetal outcomes,” according to the authors, is rooted in a problematic desire “to protect their offspring from becoming anything other than ‘normal’” and “reflect historical and ongoing social practices for creating ‘ideal’ and normative bodies.”
I’m sorry. What did I just read? 1/
Let me repeat this part:
The desire for “normal fetal outcomes,” according to the authors, is rooted in a problematic desire “to protect their offspring from becoming anything other than ‘normal’” and “reflect historical and ongoing social practices for creating ‘ideal’ and normative bodies.”
A problematic desire to have a healthy baby?!! 2/
“The authors, a group of transgender sociologists and enthusiasts, and healthcare activists, with not one medical degree among them, argue to dramatically move the goal posts of medical ethics, choosing to completely disregard the health, safety, and well-being of the developing fetus, all in the name of “T” inclusion.” 3/
THREAD. I think what’s shocking people right now is they had no idea folks could be so vicious. Some of us aren’t surprised by this. We have seen this behavior for years from them. Let me show you what has been said to people who simply say that men aren’t women. 1/
This kind of behavior has been building and building and building. Do you think this teacher got fired for his behavior? No. He got put on the cover of a journal.
This is now normal on campuses. 2/
People ignored us bc it was a “fringe” issue and it doesn’t “affect” people and why do we care? Oh sure, you noticed the sports issue for a minute, but you didn’t see how normalized it was becoming for them to speak violently. To BE violent. 3/
The Screenshots THREAD
I spent a 1 1/2 days taking screenshots of calls for more people to be next after Charlie Kirk. I’ll leave them all here together.
