Proud to trample over women
It never ceases to amaze, the smugness, the shy self-flattery, the absolute indifference to the concerns and rights of women.
He will be (and was) proud to vote to take rights away from women and hand them over to men. What a thing to be proud of.
He starts from the position that, as a socialist, he believes in equality. What does equality have to do with pretending that some men are women? What does it have to do with ignoring all the women who object?
“Trans people are among the most discriminated against,” he sermonizes, while ignoring the fact that women are at least as “discriminated against” as men who call themselves women. Those men will never be forced to keep a pregnancy they don’t want or to give birth when they don’t want to; they will never be charged with a crime for having a miscarriage, or need to travel hundreds of miles to end an unwanted pregnancy.
Of course “trans rights are human rights,” because trans people are human, so they have human rights – but if he means new and peculiar “rights” like forcing everyone to agree they are women: those are not genuine rights.
He says he would never support anything that he believes would deny or undermine women’s rights…but it’s not his call, is it. Our rights are not his to give away, are they. He doesn’t give a shit, but he does want everyone to think he does. What courage.
Hey! Trans activists (at least in Scotland); will you now cease and desist with your “most marginalized” claims? You’ve just had a national government pass a law based on your delusional fantasies. It was done at the expense of half the population; it was done willingly and enthusiastically, over the protests of women and their real, legitimate concerns for health and safety. It has rendered official Scottish government documents inaccurate and untrustworthy. Police forces were already bullying and intimidating your percieved enemies; this new law and the new “reality” it ushers in will allow and encourage them to use their authority to further abuse your opponents, (of which there will be more, because of how this law was passed. For you.) They don’t know it yet, but the willing, enthusiastic parties that gleefully took an axe to the democratic process to push this through -for you– have immolated their reputations. So the next time you think of wailing about being “the most discriminated against” or ” most marginalized,” just stop. It wasn’t true before; it’s less true now. So please, just fuck off.
No, Bruce, they are going to ride that train as long as they have rails. They need to “break” TERF Island, and Keir has now stated that Labour will push through a similar act if they are elected.

This comes down, not to the right of the drag queen to pretend he’s a woman; not even to the right of said drag queen pretending he’s a woman to use women’s washrooms, dunnies and etc, while pretending to all and sundry that he is a woman.
No. It comes down to the right of a heterosexual male rapist perhaps while pretending he is a trans-sexual and/or drag queen to enter facilities reserved for women and in those secluded places use his superior physical strength to overcome any female resistance to his demands for sex and on the spot; or else. This is really what these spurious ‘rights campaigners’ are after.
So the motion has been moved, by YnnB that they be invited to “…just fuck off.” I hereby second the motion.
It’s the Rapist Protection Act.
There is no man in the room.
Only men can rape.
There is no rape.
“Shy self-flattery” is a perfect phrase for this and the more familiar phenomenon in theistic religions. You know, the whole thing of proclaiming with great humility that the omnipotent creator of the universe loves you and made you with a special plan in mind.
I do know, and it makes my SKIN CRAWL.
