This is typical from @JolyonMaugham (who has me blocked btw). Of course he doesn't see a problem with calling women "menstruators". He isn't called an "ejaculator" or "prostate haver" or some such! How he cannot see the embedded misogyny is beyond me. He seems intelligent.
‘People who menstruate.’ I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud? Opinion: Creating a more equal post-COVID-19 world for people who menstruate devex.com/news/sponsored…
I’ve spent much of the last three years reading books, blogs and scientific papers by trans people, medics and gender specialists. I know exactly what the distinction is. Never assume that because someone thinks differently, they have no knowledge.
‘Feminazi’, ‘TERF’, ‘bitch’, ‘witch’. Times change. Woman-hate is eternal.

I respect every trans person’s right to live any way that feels authentic and comfortable to them. I’d march with you if you were discriminated against on the basis of being trans. At the same time, my life has been shaped by being female. I do not believe it’s hateful to say so.
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 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.
@jk_rowling has pinpointed why so many gay peeps are concerned about the new version of trans activism. We used to be comrade-in-arms with our trans mates until some extremists insisted biological sex was an illusion. Our legal protections and our identities are based on it.

No one is trying to roll back trans rights. We are fighting to prevent trans rights steamrolling women’s rights & the right of children to grow into physical, emotional & sexual maturity free from interference. heraldscotland.com/news/17931281.…
fairplayforwomen.com/thighstrength/ No longer can it be said that trans women do not have advantage over females. Study to show they lost no muscle strength after 12 months of lowering Testosterone! We have a right to fair competition and IT IS NOT transphobic. @iocmedia need to act now!
So women peaceably meeting to discuss their rights are ‘intimidating,’ and the hundred odd people screaming ‘scum’ and banging on windows are ‘showing support.’ Away with your back to front language. You are endorsing the violent intimidation of women. Everyone can see it.

Despite being given a question in Scottish Census about trans status, transactivists still want the right to put the wrong answer for the sex question. The legal status of the overwhelming majority of trans people is the sex they were born. Material reality matters in data sets.

"The 32-year-old was legally recognised as a man and had been living as a male for years when he gave birth in 2018". Living 'as a male' is a meaningless concept at the best of times but giving birth is surely not part of it. Freddy was clearly living as a female when pregnant.

TRAs banging on the window of the #WPUK meeting in Brighton right now. Women meet. Trans activists aggressively try and hammer down the boundary. How fucking apt.
Just to keep a tally: The RCGP recognises 6 genders. Stonewall lists 17 variations of trans. Facebook listed 71 genders and then said everyone can choose their own. The BBC said there are over 100. Ferhan Khan says there are 7 billion and Mermaids says 8 billion. Any advance?

Tonight’s Panorama is likely to do more damage to #PrinceAndrew and the royals. The Queen and Charles only acted after it became bad PR, eight years after the initial accusations were made. Prince Andrew accuser asks public to 'stand beside her' bbc.com/news/uk-506077…
This interview is likely to be hugely damaging to Andrew and the royal family. The Queen and Charles have known about these accusations for eight years and did nothing until it became a PR disaster. theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/d…
"To hear that Giuffre made a complaint directly to the Metropolitan police, and they did nothing, is scandalous." "Are the royals above the law? Is there any line they might cross that will lead the police to act?"
"Prince Andrew has refused to speak to the victims' lawyers, he has dodged US law enforcement and he appears to be protected by the UK police. Someone has to act."
"This whole disgraceful affair also raises serious questions about the Queen, what she knew and when, and why it was only after it became a PR disaster that she acted."
"Any other person in this country, faced with such serious accusations against them, would face investigation by the police, whether the offences took place in the UK or abroad. Prince Andrew can't be allowed to simply brush the charges off & not even face proper investigation."
