They’ve got a nerve.

Amnesty International pisses all over women every chance it gets. Amnesty International drives a tank through women’s rights because it finds fictitious “trans rights” more glamorous and exciting. Amnesty International wants to be down with the kids. Never was a Readers added context more richly deserved.

The past year has presented a bleak future for many women and girls amid attacks on gender equality. Women’s rights cannot continue to be under assault like this. Join us to fight for gender equality for all women, everywhere.

Originally a comment by Patrick on Junior engineers say it won’t collapse.

One of the classic argumentative styles of the era goes like this. I’m going to number it out because I’m a nerd.

1. Your opponent says X. But you believe Y.

2. State, or at least imply, that these options exist in binary opposition such that either one or the other must be the case.

3. Restate X such that it is very specific. Keep Y vague for now.

4. Offer a variety of undercutting defeaters for X. “It’s more complicated than that,” is an evergreen attack because most things are more complicated than the short, specific statements to which you have reduced your opponents position.

Well you see we can’t say anything about the trans religion because we might get yelled at. You can’t expect a satirical magazine to risk getting yelled at!! Duh!!!

You might think that a Supreme Court ruling confirming the obvious fact that the word ‘man’ means ‘man’ and the word woman means ‘woman’ is a ripe subject for a satirist.

You might, unless that particular obvious fact had been magically transformed into a taboo enforced by sadists – sadists who rejoice in trashing people’s lives for saying men are not women.

Interlude for comparisons:

You can say apples are not carrots. You can say a hammer is not a wine glass. You can say France is not Idaho. You can … Read the rest

Originally a comment by Mark on Defy the reality.

Just as many conservatives dislike something solely because it is popular amongst the Left, there are those on the left who like something solely because the right dislike it. I believe the trans-rights movement is, in large part, a byproduct of such thinking.

I am someone who has loathed right wing, religiously driven thinking for most of my life, but just because my ideological opponents hold a position on an issue, it does not follow that I must have the 180 degree opinion on it. We all know the saying about broken clocks.

The “socialist” aspect of trans rights is, for many of them, simply because they know the right … Read the rest

Just a couple of questions.

What’s socialist about this?

What’s worker about it?

I just want to start the day with this one paragraph from an Atlantic piece on Trump by Ashley Parker and Michael Scherer.

He had announced plans to pave over part of the Rose Garden, and he had redecorated the Oval Office—gold trim and gold trophies and gold frames to go with an array of past presidential portraits, making the room look like a Palm Beach approximation of an 18th-century royal court.

Oh really?

Doctors brand Supreme Court trans ruling ‘scientifically illiterate’

Really? Then why haven’t all doctors always known that men are women if they say they are?

The subhead perhaps hints at a reason:

Junior medics claim binary divide between sex and gender ‘has no basis in science’

Ah. Junior medics. The ones who don’t want to be called harsh names by their friends.

The British Medical Association’s (BMA) resident doctors – previously called junior doctors – have voted to “condemn” the judgment, which ruled that trans women were not legally women.

Of course “legally” is not the same as “medically” so one wonders why doctors are butting in anyway. The Supreme Court is not a medical body, … Read the rest

So let’s read the Stonewall mush about the tragic fate of those poor sad vulnerable cherished people who just happen to think they’re not the sex they are.

The headline:

Following the Supreme Court ruling we must remember compassion and humanity

To whom? Women?

Hahahaha that’s hilarious, right? No of course not to women. Women are bitches, women persecute the poor helpless fragile men who claim to be women. Women don’t deserve compassion and humanity.

Trans people are our families, friends, neighbours, and colleagues; we share our workplaces, our communities, our pubs, cafes and places of worship with them. They are worried and frightened by the legal implications of the ruling, and its unknown consequences. 

Women are also our families, … Read the rest

Surprise surprise – Stonewall’s mission creep has crept so far it’s below the horizon.

It’s also a tiny bit odd that Simon Blake still can’t remember the protected characteristics in the Equality Act. He leaves out sex, belief, sexual orientation and gender reassignment – and yet inserts “gender”. Which is not a protected characteristic – as countless people have…

Ah yes “Emily” Bridges, the man who forced his way into women’s cycling. ITV thought he would be a good person to chat with about issues that affect women.

Emily Bridges, Britain’s best known transgender athlete, says last week’s Supreme Court ruling on gender has “painted a target” on the back of trans women.

Who says he’s best known?

If he is best known it’s for being a man who cheats by racing as a woman.

Does he believe? Yes or no?

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer does not believe transgender women are women, his official spokesman has said. It comes after the UK Supreme Court ruled last week that a woman is defined by biological sex under equalities law.

In March 2022, when he was leader of the opposition, Sir Keir told the Times that “a woman is a female adult, and in addition to that transwomen are women, and that is not just my view – that is actually the law”. Asked if Sir Keir still believed that a transgender woman was a woman, the PM’s official spokesman said: “No, the Supreme Court judgment has made clear that when looking at the Equality

Talk about phoning it in – what a worthless contribution to discussion of the ruling:

Making trans women use male spaces will cause distress

Yes, thanks, we’re aware of Line One of the Trans Dogma Commands: they’re what we dispute and reject. We do not agree that men’s “distress” when women say no is a compelling or even halfway decent reason to let men take what belongs to women. Men’s presence in women’s toilets and organizations causes women distress, so how’s about you focus on that for a minute. You are a woman after all. Have some self-respect.

Plenty of people will perceive this clarification of meaning — or change of interpretation, as maintained by Melanie Field, who oversaw the

The ship is turning around.

Trans women should use male toilets, the equalities minister has said, declaring that “services should be accessed on the basis of biological sex”.

Bridget Phillipson said businesses should ensure “they have appropriate provision in place”, which could mean unisex facilities.

But she said the Supreme Court ruling was clear about the basis on which services should be used.

Her comments came after a long-awaited judgment delivered last Wednesday in which the UK’s highest court confirmed the terms “woman” and “sex” in the 2010 Equality Act “refer to a biological woman and biological sex”. It means transgender women with a gender recognition certificate can be excluded from single-sex spaces if it is deemed “proportionate”.

Very healthy, very sane.

Council-funded sex education tells pupils ‘ask for consent before choking’

Actually it’s worse than that, because of course it is. The “sex education” tells boys to ask for consent before choking girls. There’s nothing about girls asking for consent to choke boys. That fact and what it hints at should be reason enough all by itself to Just Say No.

The disgusting thing is that the Telegraph apparently never notices the disparity. It certainly never mentions it. What are you thinking, you bozos?? If boys are wanting to choke girls then that itself is a problem and should be right at the center of your reporting.

Maggie Chapman is in hot water.

The dean of the faculty of advocates has criticised Scottish Green MSP Maggie Chapman for what he described as “reprehensible” comments attacking the judiciary following the Supreme Court judgement on the definition of a woman.

Ms Chapman – the deputy convener of Holyrood’s equalities committee – was filmed at a weekend rally condemning what she called “bigotry, prejudice and hatred coming from the Supreme Court”.

In a letter to the committee, Roddy Dunlop KC called the remarks “outrageous” and said they created a “risk of danger” to members of the Supreme Court. Chapman said she stands by her comments, and that it was her role to “stand up and represent trans people”.

This conversation gets so ridiculous.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer does not believe transgender women are women, his official spokesman has said.

It comes after the UK Supreme Court ruled last week that a woman is defined by biological sex under equalities law.

So until then he did believe that “trans women” are women? That’s so bizarre, because the word “trans” is right there.

And why are we talking about “believe”? Does the BBC do stories reporting that Starmer does not believe horses can fly? Does it report on everything the Prime Minister does not believe? Can’t we assume he doesn’t believe silly fanciful things?

Asked whether Sir Keir would now use a trans woman’s preferred pronouns, the spokesman

Hot water.

A Green MSP has been urged to resign after accusing the UK’s highest court of spreading “bigotry, prejudice and hatred” by ruling that a trans woman is not a woman.

Maggie Chapman, who is deputy convener of Holyrood’s equalities committee, was filmed lambasting the Supreme Court at a gathering of trans activists in a street in Aberdeen at the weekend.

The North East Scotland MSP and high-profile trans activist said that the “prejudice” evinced by the court was “not in our name, never in our name”.

Ah yes, the “prejudice” of saying that men are not women.

But feminist campaigners and the Tories accused Ms Chapman of attempting to “smear” the Supreme Court and argued

The Telegraph tells us Starmer has finally managed to get the words out.

Sir Keir Starmer has finally broken his silence on the Supreme Court’s ruling that transgender women are not legally women.

The Prime Minister, who has faced criticism for failing to address the judgment since it was announced last Wednesday, said on Tuesday that the court had provided “real clarity”.

Well, there’s been real clarity all along, it’s just that we’ve been relentlessly bullied and punished for mentioning it. Starmer has done nothing to discourage that bullying and punishing.

Asked whether he believed a trans woman was a woman, Sir Keir told broadcasters: “A woman is an adult female, and the court has made that absolutely clear.
