PR failure

Made aware 

Oh goodness gracious me, they had no idea.

Organisers of a women’s rights march have been forced to drop a transgender speaker after being “made aware” of a violent past.

The co-ordinators of the UK Women’s March (UKWM) caused outrage by asking Sarah Jane Baker, a convicted criminal, to address crowds on Saturday in London. The organisers had encouraged “anyone who is an ally of women and believes in women’s rights” to march with them in the fight for gender equality – and the event was set to have Baker as a speaker.

However, they have now said that Baker will not be given a platform. They said they had not previously known that the transgender rights activist

Women’s march not women’s march 

The UK women’s march – the one that’s incloosive of men – is today, so it’s probably happening (in multiple cities) now.

It’s pathetic how anti-feminist it is.

The Facebook group – with 21 thousand members – has a statement. Most of it is what you’d expect; the rest of it isn’t.

We are marching because reproductive rights are being removed state by state in the US making it increasingly more difficult to access safe abortions, and where vital healthcare is needed to save a woman’s life.

We are marching because discrimination and violence against trans women and girls has increased around the world. Anti-trans rhetoric prevents women from addressing the real issues they encounter by reinforcing the gender

Guest post: We all get to say no 

Originally a comment by Your Name’s not Bruce? on Empathy deficit.

There’s no legal obligation on a bi or even c i s / straight person to declare their personal info…

Sure there is. If you deceive someone into having sex with you by pretending to be someone you’re not, it doesn’t matter what your orientation, or “gender identity” is. It’s the deception part that is wrong. You are lying about your “personal info.” That’s going to be a red flag no matter what that personal info is, if the other person’s consent hinges on that very information. To put it more transactionally, you’re not allowed to purchase something with counterfeit money. In fact it’s a crime. The … Read the rest

Empathy deficit 

A deep question.

Because they’re playing a trick, that’s why.

I suppose there are some circumstances where it doesn’t matter much, but for anything up close and personal, yes morally speaking you damn well should inform.

And there is something wrong with being trans: it’s based on a lie, and it’s inherently deceptive.… Read the rest

After being made aware 

This just in –

https://twitter.com/canthelpmenow7/status/1880327639266890096 Para 4 is extremely annoying. “No we are NOT going to rethink our abject submission to trans ideology, we’re going to continue force-teaming women and feminists and LGB and the left and Uncle Tom Cobley and all.”

Also the “mutually agreed” part is odd. What mean? He agreed that he’s a violent man with a violent history and should not be anywhere near a women’s march? Then why did he accept in the first place? Why did you invite him in the first place?

Why, in fact, DID YOU INVITE HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE?

These people are such fucking fools.… Read the rest

Rules for the Submissive Woman 

The inclooosive women’s march has a Facebook page.

It lists some rules.

2 No Hate Speech or Bullying

We want to ensure that this group feels safe for everyone. Therefore, bullying or degrading comments about race, culture, sexual orientation, gender or identity will not be tolerated.

And of course comments about genner idenniny are considered bullying and degrading if they fail to bend the knee to the Obvious Absolute Truth of the dogma that people can change sex just by saying so.

4 No Discrimination. No transphobia.

This is a women’s support march which includes anyone born female, identifies as female, or just wants to support other women. This is an inclusive space. Discrimination or transphobia will not be

Intersecting itself into incoherence 

More on the march that identifies as a women’s march while it expresses intense hostility toward women:

A protest for women’s rights will take place this weekend across various cities in the country, including Bristol.

UK Women’s March, organised by Grassroots Feminism, will hold demonstrations against Donald Trump’s reelection, as well as recent comments made by Nigel Farage on abortion.

…

Grassroots organiser, Carolyn Storer, posted their statement regarding the need for these marches to their official Facebook and Instagram pages.

It reads, “With Donald Trump set to return as US president in January 2025 and Nigel Farage picking up the anti-abortion mantle here in the UK, it’s time to make our voices heard.

“We are marching because violence against women

The Chamberlains of feminism The Chamberlains of feminism 

All is not well in Women’s March land.

It’s supposed to be a women’s march, and yet, women are kicked out, kicked aside, kicked to the curb, for refusing to pretend that men are women.

You can’t have a feminism that refuses to recognize a man when it sees one. You sure as hell can’t have a feminism that punishes women for recognizing a man when they see one. You sure as hell with knobs on can’t have a feminism that boots women out of a women’s event because they recognize a man when they see one.

You also can’t have a private group that is inclusive.

Two little words 

Undefined buzzwords displace thought.

“But ultimately, it’s important to remember that under the Equality Act 2010, all organizations have a responsibility to make sure trans people are included at work and don’t face discrimination.”

Yes but what are you meaning by “included at work”? What are you meaning by “face discrimination”?

We’re supposed to understand those two items in the familiar generic way, but that’s not what he means by them at all. He means a special new meaning of “included” and “discrimination.”

The familiar generic way is just that inclusion means not being shunned or … Read the rest

A record 

From the Bad People file:

Pam Bondi, President-elect Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Justice (DOJ), has a history of “undermining” voting rights, according to a report opposing Bondi from the NAACP’s Legal Defense Fund. 

The report highlights that Bondi’s work as Florida attorney general and as chair of the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) make her “unfit” for the office of U.S. attorney general.

“Ms. Bondi has a record of limiting voting rights, baselessly undermining faith in U.S. elections, and encouraging politically motivated prosecutions as an act of vengeance,” the report states.

“By contrast, DOJ has historically played a vital role in protecting the right to vote, a function that has become even more important in a

If she fends off competition 

More on the trans laydee actor winning a women’s award:

Spanish performer Karla Sofía Gascón, 52, starred in the Mexican musical comedy Emilia Pérez, a film about a cartel boss who transitions from a man to a woman to escape vengeful criminals.

The British Academy is the latest film body to include the transgender performer in a best actress category, following the Cannes Film Festival and the Golden Globes.

…

Gascón could become the first ever transgender best actress at the Baftas if she fends off competition from Cynthia Erivo for Wicked, Marianne Jean-Baptiste for Hard Truths, Mikey Madison for Anora, Saoirse Ronan for The Outrun, and Demi Moore for The Substance.

All but extinguished 

The New Scientist says we’re cooked.

Hopes of keeping global warming below 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels have been all but extinguished after new data confirmed 2024 was the first calendar year to see average temperatures breach that critical threshold.

Last year was the hottest ever recorded in human history, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) declared on 10 January, in the latest stark warning that humanity is pushing Earth’s climate into uncharted territory.

Ok but on the upside we have lots more people and buildings and cars and planes.

Scientists agree that the surge in temperature was caused mostly by the continuation of human-caused climate change and an El Niño weather pattern, which tends to push up global temperatures. But

Venty McVenterson 

Man “vents fury” because he’s not allowed to play on the women’s team.

Let’s all do this – it could be so entertaining. I hereby vent fury that I’m not allowed to fly around at night grabbing insects. Perhaps you would like to vent fury that you’re not allowed to roam the savannah gathering grass with your trunk.

Transgender athlete Hannah Mouncey claims the Australian women’s handball team has left her out of the world championships team because her teammates are refusing to share a change room with her. 

Excuse me, Daily Mail, but Hannah Mouncey is a man. Of course he’s not on a women’s championship team: he’s not a woman.
