.@AndrewMercado You say some men ‘sincerely’ identify as women, but that these two men aren’t sincere. Do sincere men injure fewer women and girls than the insincere ones? How do we test for sincerity? What if a Sincerity Jury is split? Very much looking forward to your answers.

It’s not a new phenomenon. This is all about vibes and fashion and narcissism, a commitment to never challenging the tribal view, a love of simplistic talking points packaged as sophistication, a preference for an easy life and total indifference to serious consequences felt by the less privileged,

I’m astonished that Sturgeon turns out to be not only a world-class misogynist, the blindest wife ever to enjoy the fruits of a fraudster husband’s theft, but also profoundly disloyal to the party and the political allies who once revered her. 🧵

Genuinely confused here. I'm often told that it's an intellectual failure on my part not to understand that men like this are women if they say they are. How can what I wrote be childish, when I've repeated your own arguments? You agree that he's "as valid as any other trans woman", right? Does it not then follow that he should have all the rights and protections of biological women, including admission to all female-only spaces, or have I missed part of the sophisticated adult argument you're making?

@moo11625 I haven't commented once on this individual's personality. I've simply made your argument: this is a woman, it is wrong to suggest they're not a woman, they should be treated exactly as if they were a woman and if you don't think they're a woman, you are a horrible human being.

@moo11625 So you do indeed think this man should be treated as a biological woman in being allowed in all female-only spaces, including prison cells and rape crisis centres? If so, I'm at a loss to see what you're complaining about. I literally said as much in my original post.

@moo11625 What do you mean by "posting positive videos about trans people too"? Are you implying this is a negative video? The video was made by an individual who, in your own words, is "as valid as any other trans woman" and who wanted to share it publicly. What's the problem?

If you don’t think he’s a woman, you’re transphobic. When he claimed to be a woman, he became a woman. He now belongs in women’s changing rooms, bathrooms, hospital wards, prison cells and rape support centres. If you try and differentiate between him and a trans woman who looks more convincing as a woman, you are promoting patriarchal beauty norms. If you admit to seeing an aggressive and possibly unbalanced man in this video, you’re saying all trans people are mentally ill predators. If you refuse to let him into female-only spaces, you’re removing his right to exist. If you suggest he could comfortably use male facilities, you secretly want him assaulted. If you refuse to call him ‘she’, you are guilty of unpardonable cruelty. If you’re a woman who wouldn’t want to share a locker room with him, or a man who wouldn’t want your daughter, sister or mother to get undressed in close proximity to him, you belong to the far-right. If you point out that there is no objective difference between his claim to be a woman and that of any other biological male claiming a trans identity, you are too stupid to understand the circular arguments explaining why he’s not really trans whereas other men who say they’re women are really trans. If you’re righteous, you must argue that this man’s self-declared identity overrides any consideration of the safety and rights of females. To be godly, you must agree he’s as ‘valid’ as every other trans woman, because people are who they say they are. No matter what your eyes, ears and common sense are telling you, if you don’t want to end up on the wrong side of history, you must pretend to believe that this angry, intimidating man is actually a vulnerable, oppressed woman.

@miroirdufou @AmnestyUK Patriarchy has been a lived reality for millennia. Men enforced it originally through physical strength. Women’s reproductive capabilities have rendered them physically and socially vulnerable, due to the once inescapable necessity of birthing and protecting young. Only a very naive, very young man, oblivious to the realities of adult sexual politics and the biological basis for women’s historic oppression, would be so laughably ignorant as to type out those words. I suspect - and, frankly, hope - you’re no older than seventeen.

I’m often tickled by press articles asserting that I’m furious about things that actually gave me a proper belly laugh. This time, though, knock yourselves out. Amnesty’s attack on Beira’s Place has left me burning with the kind of fury that mounts with every passing hour.

@LoveKignak Yep, the Death Eaters were famous for protecting women-only rape crisis centres, standing against the medical mutilation of vulnerable young people and believing no gay person should be attacked or shamed for not wanting to sleep with the opposite sex. You really got me there.

Amnesty UK was already smearing feminists as 'anti-rights' back in May, according to @thetimes. It appears that, far from being an accidental slip up or an editorial error, the latest defamatory report accurately represents Amnesty UK's deep-seated hostility to all organisations that believe sex is real and important in contexts such as same sex attraction and healing after sexual violence and trauma. Those who've been defamed are owed an explanation of why Amnesty claimed to have withdrawn the report because of its 'language' when, per @thetimes article, it had already expressed exactly the same beliefs, in the same language, months previously. Many of the organisations Amnesty has attacked are grassroots campaigners with a tiny fraction of a gigantic, well-funded international NGO's resources. The defamatory report has already had serious consequences for a service supporting women at the most vulnerable time of their lives, as detailed by Beira's Place lawyers in the legal letter sent two days ago. The withdrawing of the report cannot undo the harm it has already done and is continuing to do. If Amnesty is under the illusion that the women's, children's and gay rights organisations it has attacked will be unwilling to go to court, they have made yet another massive error of judgement. They underestimate both the solidarity that exists between the targeted organisations and my willingness to support legal action, not just on behalf of Beira's Place, but for all women's and LGB organisations falsely branded 'anti-rights.'

I hope everyone reads the report. Nothing could better demonstrate how far Amnesty has fallen than their demonisation of gay rights charities for refusing to adopt Amnesty’s approved gender beliefs, or their attack on a rape crisis centre because it is run by women, for women. https://t.co/Xsp3PZcc9A

Replying to @NotThatDragonD

@NotThatDragonD @rejserin A female body is observably organised to produce large gametes. There is nothing metaphysical about this definition. The presence of the equipment to produce eggs = female. It is irrelevant whether those gametes have ever been fertilised, irrelevant whether there is a biological anomaly that means gametes cannot be fertilised, or the female is too young or old to produce viable eggs. If the body is provably configured to produce eggs rather than sperm, the possessor of the body is female. All mammalian bodies are arranged to produce either eggs or sperm. There is no third gamete and there are no human hermaphrodites.

@Englishrose4444 No one's a no one. Women like you have had my back in the last five years. Messages like yours have made all the difference when things have seemed a bit bleak. A huge part of my anger around this issue is that a lot of very privileged, lanyard-class people have attempted (and often succeeded) in imposing an ideology across our institutions for which poorer women (and gay men, lesbians and the disabled) are paying the heaviest price. That's why those who can afford to stand up need to do it.

UK law never said what you asserted it did. The Supreme Court ruled that 'women' in the Equality Act means, and has always meant, biological women. For years, well-funded lobbying groups subverted the law by misrepresenting it, to women's detriment. *That* is corruption. https://t.co/t9Ng0zmgyM

Replying to @miroirdufou

@miroirdufou @HJoyceGender No, this is not how slut-shaming works. Fred is a man, a man who has a kink that he flaunts publicly, including on stage while being filmed. He dresses that way because he gets an erotic charge out of it. He enjoys performing a sexualised parody of what a woman is. If a woman sat on stage during a serious debate, flashing her crotch at the audience while getting steadily drunker and shouting about having sex in nightclubs, that would also be worthy of public comment. The difference is that nobody would feel intimidated by the woman, because she wouldn't be indulging in the obvious power play of a large male fetishist.

@miroirdufou @HJoyceGender Again: Fred was free to wear whatever he wanted to that filmed debate. Curiously, I've never yet seen any middle-aged women participating in debates on gender donning fishnets and leather miniskirts to do it, or boasting onstage about how fuckable they are, but I'm sure you'd draw a discreet veil over such behaviour if they did. Many, many trans-identified men delight in wearing their paraphilia in public. Fred Wallace is one of them.

Maybe they’ve decided to belatedly seek legal advice. Unless they’re even more reckless and arrogant than Stonewall, they must surely have anticipated that the organisations they targeted would do so.
