No they didn’t. They had a hearing about the definition of “woman”. Trans people still have rights, freedom, futures – because those things don’t depend on being defined as women. Men continue to have rights, freedom, futures, because their rights and freedom and futures don’t require other people to pretend they are women. As a matter of fact, if Montgomerie looks into it, he’ll find that men have more rights and freedoms than women do.

Same with “equality”. Being labeled or recognized or endorsed as something you’re not has nothing to do with equality.

Also there’s his dimwitted … Read the rest

I am crying. So proud of you Scottish women. Right to the heart this went. I heard the singing in the background and then … BAM… the voices! So proud.

Oh my – I’m seeing headlines.

NYT: UK Supreme Court Says Legal Definition of Women Does Not Include Trans Women

BBC: Supreme Court backs ‘biological definition’ of woman

The Independent: Trans women are not legally women under the Equality Act, Supreme Court rules

Mother Jones is way into trans ideology.

Three months into President Donald Trump’s second administration, anti-trans hatred has become inescapable for families like Kai’s, even in more liberal states like Connecticut. Parents—many of whom have spent years learning, advocating, and finding ways for their trans or nonbinary child to thrive—say their lives have been upended by a series of executive orders and actions targeting their children’s health care and support at school.

The actions from just the first week of April, gives an idea of the flurry of attacks. On April 4th, the pro-wrestling-executive turned-Education Secretary Linda McMahon launched a Special Investigations Team focused on keeping transgender girls out of girls’ school bathrooms and off of girls’

“Lily” Contino – the guy who makes videos of himself in restaurants picking fights with wait staff who fail to tell him what a pretty girl he is – thinks the fact that a large croissant is a croissant=a man is a woman. Yes really: that’s his argument.

Also, he pronounces it wrong. Completely utterly wrong. Just call it a pastry if you can’t manage the French “croiss” sound or even the French “ant” sound.

My… my GOD…

I FINALLY understand!

It’s so clear, it HURTS how I could’ve been so blind…

This is THE MOST PERFECT ANALOGY EVER…

Try it at home, ladies. Sit next to a chunk of pastry & you’ll SEE just how this

Amnesty intensifies its campaign against women.

AMNESTY International has warned against “dangerous misinformation” ahead of a Supreme Court ruling on the definition of a woman. 

The court is due to issue its judgement next week on how a woman should be defined in law. It is part of a court challenge brought by For Women Scotland (FWS) against the Scottish Government. 

FWS say sex-based protections should not apply to transgender people with a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC), while the Scottish Government argues they should be included.

As always, the reporting carefully hides the fact that the issue is men with a GRC, not “people” with a GRC. As always, the reporting goes to absurd lengths to muddy the waters, … Read the rest

Originally a comment by Holms on Speaking of “dangerous misinformation”.

…an eye-watering amount of time is spent by commentators berating trans people – who make up just 1% of the population.

Here’s another of the routine mistakes, or lies by framing. The reason there is so much attention on trans people is not because we recently became afflicted with hatred or fear of them, it is because trans people, or more importantly their political cause, gained a large amount of political traction in the last ten years or so. Consider the political state things in the 90’s – barely any attention was spent on the cause of trans people because it had no real visibility. The thing that changed … Read the rest

Obama went to Harvard. Trump did not.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions – rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking concrete steps to make sure all students at Harvard can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and… https://t.co/gAu9UUqgjF

Game on.

Harvard University is 140 years older than the United States, has an endowment greater than the G.D.P. of nearly 100 countries and has educated eight American presidents. So if an institution was going to stand up to the Trump administration’s war on academia, Harvard would be at the top of the list.

Harvard did that forcefully on Monday in a way that injected energy into other universities across the country fearful of the president’s wrath, rejecting the Trump administration’s demands on hiring, admissions and curriculum. Some commentators went so far as to say that Harvard’s decision would empower law firms, the courts, the media and other targets of the White House to push back as well.

Amnesty throws women overboard again.

It’s quite something to be arguing for the rights of lesbians to define ourselves and to be permitted to meet lawfully without men – and to find that position opposed at the UK Supreme Court by @amnesty.

I remember when Amnesty was a good human rights organization.

Well here’s a startling piece of information from an article by Anne Applebaum on how blatantly corrupt Trump is.

Trump’s Treasury Department announced last month that it would no longer enforce the Corporate Transparency Act, hampering recent congressional efforts to end money laundering, tax dodging, and other lawbreaking by anonymous investors. In an executive order, Trump suspended enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits American and foreign companies from paying bribes to do business.

Uh. That seems like an important piece of news.

Dang what a lot of contortions people go through to avoid telling the truth about men who pretend to be women.

FA resists calls to ban transgender players from women’s matches

First contortion right in the headline, as always. The calls are to ban male players from women’s matches. The calls really don’t give a damn how the male players idennify because the issue is that they’re male.

English football chiefs have introduced new rules on transgender players in women’s matches that stop short of a blanket ban but allow the FA to intervene if it believes there are issues around safety or fairness of competition.

If. Fuck you, dudes. Of course there are “issues”: that’s the whole … Read the rest

Still can’t get the headline right.

Trans people who self-identify as women face single-sex space ban

Men. Men who self-identify as women. Not generic “people” but men: men only. Women don’t need to “self-identify as” women because we just are women. One’s sex isn’t a matter of self-identifying any more than one’s species is.

Organisations will be told that they can no longer call a space single-sex if they admit transgender people who do not have a gender recognition certificate.

Updated guidance from the equality watchdog will say that services described as being single-sex will not be able to make the claim if they also allow transgender women to use them on the basis of self-identification.

Sigh. Why the exception? … Read the rest

Hm. Mediaite describes the cognitive test Trump aced rather differently. What it describes is very basic indeed.

On Sunday, the White House released a report from the president’s personal physician, Capt. Sean Barbabella. Dr. Barbabella found that “President Trump remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function.”

Included in the report were the results of the cognitive exam Dr. Barbarella administered to Trump.

“Cognitive function, assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), was normal with a score of 30 out of 30,” Dr. Barbabella wrote.

Trump has frequently boasted about having aced previous cognitive tests. Speaking with reporters on Air Force One over the weekend, Trump again boasted about his performance on this most

Trump is pretty much supernaturally healthy, we’re told.

As a part of Friday’s nearly five-hour medical examination at the Walter Reed hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, Trump received several blood tests, a cardiac examination and ultrasounds, said his doctor.

“His active lifestyle continues to contribute significantly to his well-being,” Dr Barbabella wrote in the memo released by the White House on Sunday.

“President Trump exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State.”

What “active lifestyle”? He doesn’t have an “active lifestyle” – he’s not active. Golf doesn’t count. He doesn’t walk the course, he squats in a golf cart. He doesn’t walk at all apart from moving … Read the rest

Kathleen Stock does that pesky feminist thing of noticing politicians who try to draw a polite veil over religions that see women as dangerous whores.

First we were told there couldn’t be a national public inquiry into grooming gangs, because there were going to be at least five local ones. This week, considerable confusion emerged about whether there would even be any of those. Buried within a statement about tackling child sexual abuse and exploitation generally, Jess Phillips, the safeguarding minister, announced with smooth customer-service rhetoric that “following feedback from local authorities”, instead of local inquiries, there might be “more bespoke work”. 

I bet we can guess what that “feedback” was feeding back.

To many eyes, this was a cowardly reversal
