the law as it stands on sex - part 3

Allison Bailey speaking in court.

"Allison Bailey: Stonewall’s activism is ‘like protection racket’"

A protection racket is precisely what it is FarNorth; I'm desperately hoping that Allison wins her case and that Stonewall is exposed for the misogynistic, anti gay bullies that they are. They've hung out to dry the very minorities of society that they were set up to support. I wish them a speedy, and catastrophic, downfall for all the harm they've caused Allison, Maya, Kathleen and many others.

Productive meeting.
Something is going to be done! Forgive my cynicism but I’ll wait and see what happens.

Good about the productive meeting Mollygo, at least they've had to acknowledge the situation. Hope your cynicism turns out to be unfounded, and something is enacted immediately.

Yes, I too hope that this can be nipped in the bud.

An article by Judith Woods on the recent WPUK meeting in Bristol.

archive.ph/M7QT6

"A young woman with aquamarine hair is striding around with a megaphone leading a call and response, as a policewoman watches from a distance on a Bristol street.

“Trans rights are human rights!”
The motley crowd of students answer as one: “Trans rights are human rights!”

“Protect trans students!”
“Protect trans students!” they parrot.

Then she gets a little over-aerated: “Terfs can suck my boy d---.”
Nobody says a word, they just shuffle uncomfortably."

I don't know whether to laugh or cry, so I'll laugh ?.

The whole chickdick/boydick thing is straight outta Jerry Springer The Opera. No wonder they were embarrassed.

That’s an amazing article. It’s frightening that so many people when they say trans women are women actually believe that a magic wand can change someone’s sex.

Good article, thanks for the link FarNorth

Isn't it odd that natal women mustn't use the term 'women' but have to be cervix havers, vagina owners, birthing people etc but transwomen are women and can use the term freely? The only time we can use the term 'women' is when we are including men.

This is one of the reasons why I am so adamant about not ever using 'cis'. I always refer to women as women (I'm such a radical ) and to transwomen as transwomen.

I won't use 'cis' either, don't like using 'natal' but figure it's less triggering to the TRAs than 'real' which is more accurate in common parlance. 'Cis' to me is a demeaning insult but the TRAs use it all the time, it's almost like they have no respect or consideration.

Which, of course they don’t. Their whole agenda is misogynist and built on a total lack of respect for women.

Anne Robinson - who I really don't have much time for usually: TV legend Anne Robinson has waded into a transgender rights row - saying 'a woman is someone with a vagina'.

Anne added that she was aghast at what she called the lack of 'safety' in women-only spaces such as changing rooms at swimming pools. She said that she is worried about the allowing of transgender people who have not undergone sex reassignment surgery into these spaces.

'I'm horrified by the lack of safety in women's changing rooms, at swimming pools and that sort of thing. The most interesting statistic is that the amount of trans [people] who actually surgically get altered is miniscule. So you are talking about men in women's changing rooms.'
Anne told the Telegraph she had never met anyone 'who hates the idea that we can define a woman with common sense.

'I've never met this person that's so angry. I suspect they're angry [anyway] and this has been quite good to latch on to.'

The comments on this are 99% in agreement with her. Wonder if she'll be cancelled for having the audacity to point out the obvious?

Possibly not, but her leaving Countdown will be attributed to her having had the audacity to state the truth.

Anne Robinson is of the age, wealth and temperament that she probably doesn't give a monkey's about being cancelled, trolled or whatever.

There's nothing much they can do to her, and kudos to her for speaking out, and saying the obvious.?

Spot the AHF in this article about HRT. Clue: you won’t be able to. . I’ve just asked my Dh how, as an individual, his menopause went. He said he didn’t notice it.

jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2791692

SueDonim the work that goes into these articles to studiously avoid mentioning this is something only women, females, will have to contend with ? They just don't care about the vast majority of women who would prefer to see sexed language, instead doing anything to appease the teeny minority who don't like it.
My individual DH not only didn't notice his menopause, he also hadn't been aware of menstruating, but then he can be spectacularly unobservant at times

^My individual DH not only didn't notice his menopause, he also hadn't been aware of menstruating, but then he can be spectacularly unobservant at times.^??

Mine was equally unobservant, however after I shared the info about HRT keeping you younger looking, he asked if I thought it was too late for him to try it.

and your answer....... ? ??

To me dear Mr M, you look as good as ever, (especially since he’s been using my moisturiser!)

Rosie and Molly.

The producer of the Family Sex Show, discussed on this thread, explains why the show was cancelled, in the Guardian (where else?) ?:

"I am the producer and co-creator of a piece of theatre that was cancelled before it had even been seen. It started like this: a group of people online began to call for the show to be shut down. It gained some traction and led to a petition on the platform Citizen Go, which is believed to have links with extremist hard-right Christian groups in the US.

The outcry on social media and the subsequent petition used words and ideologies that are rooted in queerphobia, racism, fatphobia, ableism, misogyny and transphobia."

Oh right. Nothing to do with most of not wanting children exposed to all this? lol

Unbelievable really. I suppose using words like
extremist hard-right Christian groups in the US.
The outcry on social media and the subsequent petition used words and ideologies that are rooted in queerphobia, racism, fatphobia, ableism, misogyny and transphobia makes him feel justified in not mentioning the potential harm to children and opportunities for some sick people to persuade themselves that if they’ve seen it on a show it must be OK to risk that or exploit those scenes with children, for their own enjoyment.

I think the producer is missing the point of why people were objecting.

It wasn't about right wing groups - it was about parents, grandparents etc with enough common sense to understand what sort of creeps and weirdos this sort of thing would attract.?

I wouldn't have taken my kids or grandchildren - there are ways to teach children about healthy relationships, and this isn't it.

Besides which, I would imagine most children would be bored out of their minds at this rubbish.

At 5 years old they want Disney, pantos, fun days etc.

Amongst all those ‘isms’ that producer’s age-ism was clearly on display. She seems to have selective memory too. The Googling of animal masturbation seems to have been forgotten, for a start.
