WHAT DID I JUST READ??

“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/

A thread.

The conversation starts here when Jill makes a comment. Ok. So far so good. It’s your typical political post and comment.

But then wait for it…. Gareth enters the chat to be snarky. 2/

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/

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.

Please share. Follow. But most of all, save this. This is the history of this day when the posts are removed.

They are calling for the next person to be JK Rowling, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Riley Gaines, Libs of TT, Ben Shapiro and more. 2/

I Am NEVER Leaving This App.

A thread.

It starts with a parody account posting a quote from David Lammy where he foolishly says

“A cervix, I understand, is something (men) can have following treatments, and various procedures.”

The replies are gold. But wait for it…1/ I’m cracking up here! 2/

Many people don’t know how bad “one side” has become towards anyone who opposes them.

Some people, like Graham Lineham, saw all of this and spoke up to protect women.

Let me show you how bad it is.
A thread. 1/ If anyone said this about the T group, not only would be they kicked off of social media, but they would be imprisoned.

These men, however, can say this with impunity. These posts are all on that other turquoise site. 2/

JK Rowling writes in defense of women and gets these messages sent to her. These are ok.

Graham Lineham stands up for her and other women. And he has five officers come to the airport to arrest him.

I’ll show you his posts below.
A thread.

He has been arrested for saying this.

Was it the four letter word they found harmed their sensibilities? Are we supposed to love these groups?

Seriously. You’re not allowed to say this???? Tell me how you avoid arrest then. Stay mute?

I decided to rewrite the Riley Gaines hit piece from the New York Times. Here is what it should have said.

A thread. It should have said:

when Lia Thomas stood up on the starting blocks, everyone could see he wasn’t a woman. No one was fooled. The crowd was not happy. The most unfair race was about to start. 2/

There are some moments when everything you once believed crumbles. I was once a New York Times reader. Oh, I know it’s gotten a lot of things wrong but I still thought of it as a real newspaper. Until today.

This article about Riley Gaines is so biased. So bad.
A thread. I thought I’d go through each point that had me in stark disbelief until I looked back and realized I had 35 screenshots. Every single word of this article is a lie. A harmful twisted mass of half truths and unfair accusations.

I was truly shocked. 2/

What did you think these things meant?

A thread. This meme was so ubiquitous I have dozens of copies of different people posting it. 2/

A girls volleyball team held tryouts. 70 girls tried out. Only 23 girls made the team. And one 6’4 boy who doesn’t even play the sport.

Parents were at each other’s throats. One side were the parents who will never see reality bc of what they’ve done to their kids. 1/ On the other side were parents screaming trying to protect their daughters.

The girls were told if they want to change without a boy present they can carry their clothes down the hall and huddle in the nurse’s office!

All so that the boy can do anything he wants. 2/

Some guy is attacking @sharrond62 and the rest of us and he has issued a challenge to find the misogyny in his posts!

Ok, Ian! Challenge accepted!

A thread. 1/ Let’s start with the way he described her. The “big0try” he speaks of is an Olympic female swimmer who cares about women’s sports. 2/

While everyone was out here arguing over the definition of woman, Merriam Webster snuck in and stealthily changed the definition of female. So even if they lose and say a woman is an adult human female, they have taken over that too.

This is how they take over everything. 1/ Yes, they say sure, a woman is an adult female person. But now they have altered the definition of female!!

They have transed every species!!! A female cat has an identity now?

At least they seemed to admit there are only two with female being the opposite of male. 2/

THREAD.

Re: A male employee in a department store who went up to a young teen in the intimates section and asked her if she needed help.

What people don’t understand about predators or their supporters is how much they think they are victims. That surprised me. 1/ You’ll get a million excuses and always the girl gets blamed. They will pretend they are innocent saints. “He was just being helpful.” “What? What did he do?” “It’s just clothes!” “No one but you would object.”

And the rag€… 2/

Thread

Imagine a man walked up to young teen in a lingerie section to ask if she needed help.

No decent man would do this. Indecent men pretend this is just “being helpful”.

You can tell instantly who is who by their reaction to this situation. 1/ Predators don’t come up to you twirling their mustache. They come up to you smiling. When caught they have plausible deniability. “Who me? I was just being nice! I didn’t do anything! I just offered that little girl some candy bc she looked scared! I was helping her!” 2/

Let me try to explain Mr Tickle’s attorneys’ argument in Giggle App v Tickle.

They say you cannot exclude anyone on the basis of gender identity. Sall says, she doesn’t. She had a female only app.

But they say, if excluding all non females excludes all 1/
men who call themselves some gender identity or another, which is protected, then she loses.

Consequently, it also excludes all men who call themselves c-sgender. That too is a gender identity. Any gender identity is protected they say.

So again. She would lose. 2/

The barrister for Mr Tickle is saying that Sall is not allowed to demonstrate a willful blindness with respect to gender identity.

Please understand where this law stuff is going. They are saying that you MUST believe that men can turn into women.

1/ This is what pronouns take you to. This is what it means when you say that women are a subset of women. The law being argued for is to say that you MUST believe this gender ideology.

That’s what is being fought here. 2/

THREAD

The Giggle v Tickle case shows how vital it is to have words. Words that mean something. We are now at the point where the Se* Discrimination Act doesn’t mean anything bc the word se* means nothing. If words don’t have a meaning then law means nothing. 1/ Today in a court of law an attorney argued that a man is a female because he was wearing a “female top”. What on earth does THAT mean? And he had “female hair”. HUH?? And he had removed hair from his face. (Bc men shave???) 2/

THREAD.

After all this time and people STILL do not get it. Here is some guy thinking there is a compromise. A simple way to “get along”. If only we’d be less obstinate. More forgiving. More understanding. But he has NO clue what is being asked. 1/ He thinks you can compromise. He thinks you can live and let live. He doesn’t understand that his suggestion here would have been equally seen as a h@te incident and he too would have been suspended or reported to the police for suggesting it. 2/

Sandie’s boss wanted to call the police on her for not wanting to get undressed in front of a man who walked into the ladies changing room.

He wanted to call the police on her!!

Jamie Doyle, NHS Fife’s head of nursing for acute services, wrote an email saying this. 1/ I wish I was making this up. I don’t think people have any idea how sadistic some true believers of this ideology have become. They wanted to call the police on her bc she wanted the privacy the law entitles her to. That’s how far this has gone.

Breaking! Thread.

This is HUGE!! During the tribunal, the witness has lapsed into calling Dr Upton “he”. Jane Russell can’t have that and breaks in to remind the witness that we are all playing a game!

This sounds to me like suborning perjury but what do I know. 1/. She claims the witness is getting confused bc Naomi keeps (properly) referring to Dr. Upton as “he”. Then she tries to claim that standards dictate this witness lie. She claims that Naomi is creating a hostile environment!! Talk about projection! 2/
