The alternative not the opposition

And who's encouraging them to think this is a flex rather than deeply disturbing and off-putting behaviour?

Meanwhile I'm on a years long waiting list to even try ADHD meds

Meanwhile, people with actual personalities who understand women are actually human beings, and don't try to demand attention from someone walking past, have much less trouble developing relationships!

Equal rights for all

A tsunami of anti-trans hate to be published in the UK legacy press tomorrow. All designed to put maximum pressure on the government to cave to the obscenely hateful demands of those calling for trans folk to be excluded from public life.

Remember you're loved and only you define your identity.

Wait, so not only do you have to calculate your own taxes, you have to pay for the privilege?
Another thing to add to the list

There's no arguing with bigots like you, although I'm tempted to ask, 'typical for whom?'

Why use AI? You could have painted that yourself and enjoyed the process

Unnecessarily and inaccurately, and only on women and girls. Athletes wanting to compete as male are exempt.
Considering Athletes with more typical female bodies have advantages in swimming and gymnastics, this raises interesting possibilities

Really? Elite female athletes want to be forced to prove their sex, even though there is no reliable way of doing this (and cheek swabbing for DNA simply proved that chromosomal variability does not fit the XX/XY binary?) One byproduct of the current moral panic is growing awareness of XXXY etc

I didn't know any trans people until I was in my 40s if that's any comfort. I know a lot of trans people now. Of course you may know some trans people and simply be unaware that they have changed their gender

How have I introduced men into this thread? Unless you're assuming all those reacting badly to discovering a person they're attracted to is trans are men, which is not the case.
Transphobes can be male or female but are, I'm assuming, all cis

In most parts of the world, it is

That's a real shame. There are tens of thousands of Palestine-supporting Jews in London if you want a replacement friend

It really isn't. Several branches of the WI and guides have folded, and the International Olympic Committee has announced female athletes must prove their sex, even though the only tests available are invasive, humiliating and inaccurate

I'm surprised people are protesting this.
If you can't travel, set your stories where you live-I promise it will seem exotic to so many-or in an invented location.
Setting a story in Scotland because you think it sounds cool when you've lived in the USA all your life betrays privileged thinking

Considering TERFS' achievements so far include endangering the future of the Guides and WI, and forcing any girl interested in competitive sports to be willing to allow strangers to investigate her sex, I'm not going to read a book which promotes their limited western ideology

I'm no stranger to the way middle aged women are viewed as unfuckable and therefore unworthy of respect. But I've noticed trans women are treated the same way. Or, if a transphobe happens to experience sexual attraction to a trans person, they will accuse the trans one of being a sexual predator

My late father in law, a Czech Jewish refugee, worked with Corbyn in the 80s and never noticed any antisemitism.
Then again, the Rosens also support Palestinian human rights. Which is not antisemitism and never has been

What an intelligent response. Does genocide really make you yawn?

That was exactly my experience. On the rare occasions a bus sailed past when I was on the way to the stop, I knew I had 15 minutes til the next one, so could get a bit of exercise and walk to the next one

Still transphobic, still anti-immigrant, still Islamophobic and Zionist, still focused on England at the expense of the rest of the UK

Reform's moment has passed.
But do they really think all the people who protested against fracking years ago are going to allow it now? And do they assume Aberdeen is full of unemployed oil workers waiting for a call? Many of them have relocated or retrained.

Just a reminder that people are being slaughtered in the Middle East as a distraction from this. Let's face it, men willing to rape children don't care if someone they don't know dies in a bombardment

'Secular democracy in line with international law? '
Are you delirious? Israel is none of those things.
And 'aggressive theocratic etc' would be an accurate way to describe Israel, the US, and the other oil-hungry Western states

Then you don't live in a democracy. You live in a terrifying, oppressive dictatorship.
And the rest of the world should revoke your 'normal country ' privileges

It would only take one of you. And a dozen people every day are killed by gun violence. But with 350 million people in your country and a legally enshrined right to kill the president if he goes rogue, you've done nothing. Why?

Oh, we always knew it was bullshit, we're just amazed at how much dictatorship you're willing to tolerate.
If any other country in the world was acting like the US now, you'd bomb the shit out of them

The United States of America is the ONLY Nation on earth who's citizens are permitted to have guns SPECIFICALLY in order to rise up against an Authoritarian government and yet they choose to do FUCK All 🤔

This is the feeling we have in Europe.

Ending for-profit incarceration is something else the US needs to do in the forthcoming reorganisation. It's yet another thing the rest of the world thinks is unbelievable and corrupt
