Actually the law
Keir Starmer throws women overboard.
Asked to define a woman, Starmer replied: “A woman is a female adult, and in addition to that trans women are women, and that is not just my view — that is actually the law. It has been the law through the combined effects of the 2004 [Gender Recognition] Act and the 2010 [Equality] Act. So that’s my view. It also happens to be the law in the United Kingdom.”
It doesn’t “happen to be” the law, it’s a law because people have lost their fucking minds.
You can’t turn men into women by passing laws. You can change definitions under law, but you can’t change the underlying reality. If you want to pass laws that say whales are goldfish, knock your socks off, but whales and goldfish will still be what they are. Some bad laws have been passed, but men are still not women.
The Labour leader called for reforms of the Gender Recognition Act, under which people diagnosed with gender dysphoria who have lived in their acquired gender for at least two years can apply to be legally recognised.
“The process that people have to go through does need to be looked at,” he told The Times. “If you talk to anybody who’s been through the process there’s a real issue about respect and dignity.”
Noted. Now talk to women who have been raped and gone to a rape crisis center only to find that its CEO is a man. Notice that there’s a real issue about their dignity and respect for them.
He called for a “more considered, respectful, tolerant debate about these issues”. Starmer added: “I don’t think it furthers the interests of anybody to continue the debate in the way that it’s been going on now for some time.”
He wants a more considered, respectful, tolerant debate about this in the same breath in which he tells us that men are women. How about some consideration and respect and tolerance for us? Women? Half the population? The half of the population that keeps the whole population going?
Comments have been turned off. Of course they have.
“A woman is a female adult, and in addition to that trans women are women”
Therefore trans men are women.
I wonder what the approved definition of ‘man’ is? Both the obvious ones have absurd consequences. Either all trans people are women, or all trans people are simultaneously both men and women.
So I wonder if he’s read the Cass report? How long before the continuing scandal and disaster will force him (and others) to moderate and walk back their unqualified support for genderist demands?
“Both siderism” strikes again. But only one side has been bullying, threatening, and desperately trying to silence their critics and questioners. Up to now, there has been no “debate” because one side has been demanding (and being given) so-called “rights” at the direct expense of women’s health, safety and dignity, with any resistance and critique being denounced as genocidal bigotry. Women have had to force the issue because so many institutions and authorities have been coopted by genderism. They have forced through trans activist demands behind the scenes, in backroom deals that bypassed the normal processes of discussion, examination and evaluation. What truly “powerless”, “oppressed” or “marginalized” group has ever managed that? What does that say about the actual amount of power and influence these poor, downtrodden snowflakes are capable of wielding? Since when have the powers of patriarchy been so willing to go along with something that wasn’t in their interest? Since when have any movements that threatened the established order of things been handed eveything they’ve asked for, with the protection and power of the police to boot? Please. They’re not a threat to patrirchy, they’re its realization.
Starmer, among others, has been on the side of those trying to force their way past women’s boundaries, and joined in with the vilification of women trying to defend their rights. In decrying the current state of things, he is blandly, and unironically standing with the one side which has dedicated itself to continued vitriol and intimidation against women standing up for womensaying, in effect, “LOOK WHAT YOU MADE THEM DO!!”
[…] a comment by Your Name’s not Bruce? on Actually the […]
There *is* a both sides though… But the sides are “TWAW fuck you” vs. “We’re taking your kids”.
Though in a sense both are on the side of insanity, so the sane adult female human position must exist on an entirely different side.
Does that make any sense?
A bat is a flying mammal, and in addition to that baseball bats are bats.
A boxer is a kind of dog, and in addition to that pugilists are boxers.
A star is an giant ball of gas with sustained nuclear fusion happening in its core, and in addition to that movie stars are stars.
etc… etc…
