Chad Felix Greene on Twitter - "my argument: "maybe your preference for women with vaginas over women with penises is, to some degree, influenced by our cissexist society."
"*raises hand Um.Didn't we all decide that sexual orientation is an inborn quality and out of a person's control? Since when is it a choice?"

From 2017. Of course the trans activists have gone even more bonkers since
The NUS bans drag as fancy dress - except it doesn't - "Maryam Namazie - who was raised in a Muslim family but is now an atheist and secularist - pulled out of a talk at an Irish university after it was suggested that a discussion on apostasy would “upset” Muslim students. And as someone facetiously, but correctly, pointed out on Twitter, many Islamist preachers are themselves homophobic (and, one presumes, biphobic). Is it Islamophobic to oppose them?... I do want to reiterate how hard these debates are, and how common sense and a belief in people’s basic good faith can get lost in the urge to codify every human interaction... [Banning cross dressing] is an astonishingly conservative motion to be passed by a society which is otherwise so much at pains to stress the variety and fluidity of gender - for example, the conference has also resolved to “refrain from the use of ‘sisters’ and any other binary terms throughout the campaign”.This is because “the definition of Women for the NUS Women’s Campaign is ‘all who self-define as women, including (if they wish) those with complex gender identities which include “woman”, and those who experience oppression as women.’ This contains people whose preferred pronouns are not ‘She’ or ‘her’ (e.g ‘they’) and that they do not identify with the term ‘sister’.”The conference organisers add that “the use of the term ‘sisters’ is exclusionary of some women” and that “misgendering someone is an act of violence”.On this particular motion, we all know what the elephant in the room is here - or rather, the rugby player in the tutu. I’m sure some people do feel offended, or unwelcome, when great big hairy blokes charge around the college bar in stuffed bras singing songs about the Pope and a donkey and that one where the chorus is MY BELL END SHE GOT... Essentially, what this motion implies is incredibly reactionary: all straight cisgender people must wear gender-appropriate clothes in their leisure time. Anything else is offensive to minorities... one of the beautiful things about clothing as a system of signification - as a language, essentially - is how unstable and contextual it is. I appreciate this is a real bummer when you are trying to write a law, or a conference motion, but drawing the line between cross-dressing and, er, straight-dressing is hugely complicated. How about men wearing sarongs? What if they are from a country where men traditionally wear sarongs? The motion also assumes that you can differentiate between someone cross-dressing for the “right” reasons and the wrong ones. Good luck with that. Cross-dressing is always an exploration of queer identity - because it makes obvious the fact that gender is a performance. The motion suggests that as long as the cross-dressing is not done for "shock value", it is OK. But the whole point of cross-dressing is shock value... seemingly progressive positions can reflect an underlying conservativism"
Christian Mother Sues School District For Allegedly Planning To Terminate Her Custody Of Transgender Son. She Loses. - "An Oregon mother who sued the local school district and some of its employees, charging they interfered with her parental rights and created “a plan” to prevent her daughter, who believes she is a transgender boy, from returning to the mother’s home so that the mother’s custody could be terminated, has lost her case in court.Greta Leontiev, a special education teacher in the Gresham-Barlow School District, filed the suit in 2017. In the suit, Leontiev, who was divorced from her daughter’s father and had remarried, claimed a teacher convinced Leontiev’s daughter to leave her mother’s home and live with her... Leontiev filed a complaint with the Corbett School District Superintendent, alleging that her child was a runaway who had been harbored by a teacher and a member of the school board, thus violating Oregon educator ethics codes. A case worker who interviewed Leontiev and her husband concluded, “There is enough evidence gathered via this assessment that indicates that (the daughter) has not been emotionally abused by his parents.”"
J.K. Rowling on Twitter - "If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth.
The idea that women like me, who’ve been empathetic to trans people for decades, feeling kinship because they’re vulnerable in the same way as women - ie, to male violence - ‘hate’ trans people because they think sex is real and has lived consequences - is a nonsense."
"If sex wasn't real, there would be no such thing as transitioning."
So much for rights not being like cake/pie - more for one doesn't mean less for others
Ryan Drummond - "Watching JK Rowling get torn to shreds by the monster she helped to create gives me an overwhelming sense of schadenfreude.You really can't appease these people. One way or the other, driven by their own insecurities and absolute lust for the false God of equality, they'll find a means of tearing down anyone.Dysgenia in action."
Lucas Lynch - "Daniel Radcliffe speaking over the voice of J. K. Rowling about what really makes a woman - peak wokeness, 2020 vintage. "
Helen Joyce on Twitter - "I don’t know how close @jk_rowling is to Watson and Radcliffe. But it must hurt being insulted and betrayed by two young people whose careers she made. I hope she knows she’s better off without such false friends, & that the people who support her now are worth a thousand of them"
Alexandra Phillips on Twitter - "Here’s a man, telling a woman (and the woman he should thank for making millions) that she is not allowed to make a comment on what being a woman is and he knows better than her about who can and cannot be called a woman."
"Minority" voices only matter when they support the liberal narrative
J.K. Rowling Followed Up Her Anti-Trans Tweets With A Full Anti-Trans Essay - ""The fear, ignorance, and callous cruelty underneath JK Rowling’s words are the same sentiments that lead to the murder and systemic destruction of black trans lives... Rowling tweeted her support for Maya Forstater, a woman who was fired for saying transgender women should not be legally recognized. Rowling's latest statement comes after major backlash over the weekend, when she tweeted a link to an article mocking the line "people who menstruate," which many pointed out was an anti-trans comment since many women don't menstruate (and some men do). In her expanded statement on Wednesday, Rowling also revealed that she had been a victim of sexual assault and domestic abuse. She said this experience made her even more focused on biology, "out of solidarity with the huge numbers of women who have histories like mine, who’ve been slurred as bigots for having concerns around single-sex spaces."... Rowling spoke out against the criticism she's received. She said she won't stop talking about her anti-trans comments because she believes she is helping women."It would be so much easier to tweet the approved hashtags – because of course trans rights are human rights and of course trans lives matter – scoop up the woke cookies and bask in a virtue-signalling afterglow. There’s joy, relief and safety in conformity," she wrote."
Biology is now hate speech!
JK Rowling isn’t transphobic—you’re just sensitive - "Ironically, it’s largely a brigade of non-trans people who are offended on the behalf of trans people rather than trans people being outraged. As a trans woman who knows exactly what transphobia feels and looks like, I closely analyzed every word of Rowling’s Twitter rant and could not find a shred of hatred. Biological sex is a scientific reality, and erasing it actually invalidates the existence of trans people. If I was not born biologically male, why would I have transitioned in the first place? Medical transition hinges on the fact that the trans individual is unhappy with their biological sex and seeks to alter the aspects of it that science can alter... The overwhelming majority of trans people I have met recognize the reality of biological sex (that’s kind of the entire point…). It’s the hyper-woke white knights that claim to fight for trans people while simultaneously making us look like science-deniers that take issue with Rowling’s take... As a trans woman, there are many parallels in my lived experience and issues I may face that mirror biological women, but I will not deny that there are also differences. I do not understand the struggle of growing up as a biological female, entering puberty, dealing with menstruation, pregnancy, or any of the other realities that biological females exclusively experience. That’s simply a fact, and stating it is not hateful or bigoted. I do not feel invalidated by acknowledging the differences between trans women and biological women because I am secure within myself and my life. Sorry, not sorry."

"While brave, this is not enough. We cannot rest until all former HP fans have forgotten every last sentance from those horrible books."
Germany: Heidi Klum drag queen show sparks backlash - "over 20,000 people had signed a petition calling for Klum to be removed from the show and "to replace her with a queer person.""Finally a queer show is being produced for German television, but the front figure is anything but queer — basically handing the cake to the straight white woman while we are, once again, left with the crumbs," the petition states. Drag performers Ryan Stecken and Margo Schlönzke, who launched the petition, note that Klum has been a supporter of the LGBTQ community, but charge that she lacks the knowledge needed to lead the show.They also are worried that with Klum at the helm, ProSieben is trying to target a "heteronormative audience" and that the show will no longer be about educating the public about drag in the way that "RuPaul's Drag Race" has done... Although Klum has been under fire, she's gotten the backing of one of Germany's most famous drag queens — Olivia Jones... Jones also noted that Klum gave drag queens a platform on "Germany's Next Top Model" and advocated for Germany to get its own drag queen-centric show. "Finally German drag queens can show everyone that they don't have to hide behind their American colleagues and that we have an unbelievably diverse scene""
Better to have no show at all, since the lack of star power means fewer people won't watch it!
Shocking New Study Suggests Disagreeing With Gay, Trans People Not Same As Hating Them | The Babylon Bee - "The study followed thousands of self-identified Christians who support traditional marriage and gender definitions, and found that while they disagree with the current cultural narrative on gender and sex, the majority of them do not harbor hatred for gay and transgender people, with most treating them just like they treat most other people in their daily lives... At publishing time, a federal judge in California had issued multiple warrants for Barna Group executives."

“I Have Power!”: Trans Twitch Moderator Who Identifies as a Deer Threatens to Censor Critics - "A transgender Twitch “Safety Advisory Council” member who identifies as a deer (yes, really) bragged on a live stream about having the “power” to censor critics, asserting, “some people should be afraid of me.”... transgender streamer “Steph” Loehr, AKA FerociouslySteph, who was born a man and apparently had his genitals removed, was announced as a new member of Twitch’s “Safety Advisory Council,” giving Loehr the power to influence Terms of Service and potentially ban individual users... In the clip, Loehr states, “I have power, they can’t take it away from me and honestly there are some people that should be afraid of me and that they are because I represent moderation and diversity and I’m gonna come for people if you’re a really shitty person – I’m gonna stand up against you period and Twitch is endorsing me to do that.”“This is pretty much like all the authoritarians who want to control your speech, thoughts and administer punishments to you if you disagree with them,” remarked YouTuber Count Dankula. “This one, as soon as she got the power, her mask didn’t slip, she ripped it off and frisbee’d it over the horizon.” After Loehr was appointed to Twitch’s safety council, the mainstream media immediately rushed to his defense, claiming that questioning his neutrality represented a “harassment campaign.”... Loehr’s ascension to becoming a Twitch moderator was almost certainly helped along the way by the ADL."
