“It’s because you are men.”

In light of recent open letters from academia and the arts criticising the UK's Supreme Court ruling on sex-based rights, it's possibly worth remembering that nobody sane believes, or has ever believed, that humans can change sex, or that binary sex isn't a material fact. These letters do nothing but remind us of what we know only too well: that pretending to believe these things has become an elitist badge of virtue. I often wonder whether the signatories of such letters have to quieten their consciences before publicly boosting a movement intent on removing women's and girls' rights, which bullies gay people who admit openly they don't want opposite sex partners, and campaigns for the continued sterilisation of vulnerable and troubled kids. Do they feel any qualms at all while chanting the foundational lie of their religion: Trans Women are Women, Trans Men are Men? I have no idea. All I know for sure is that it's a complete waste of time telling a gender activist that their favourite slogan is self-contradictory nonsense, because the lie is the whole point. They're not repeating it because it's true - they know full well it's not true - but because they believe they can make it true, sort of, if they force everyone else to agree. The foundational lie functions as both catechism and crucifix: the set form of words that obviates the tedious necessity of coming up with your own explanation of why you're one of the Godly, and an exorcist's weapon which will defeat demonic facts and reason, and promote the advance of righteous pseudoscience and sophistry. Some argue that signatories of these sorts of letters are motivated by fear: fear for their careers, of course, but also fear of their co-religionists, who include angry, narcissistic men who threaten and sometimes enact violence on non-believers; back-stabbing colleagues ever ready to report wrongthink; the online shamers and doxxers and rape threateners, and, of course, the influential zealots in the upper echelons of liberal professions (though we can quibble whether they're actually liberal at all, given the draconian authoritarianism that seems to have engulfed so many). Gender ideology could give medieval Catholicism a run for its money when it comes to punishing heretics, so isn't it common sense to keep your head down and recite your Hail Mulvaneys? But before we start feeling too sorry for any cowed and fearful TWAWites who're TERFy on the sly, let's not forget what a high proportion of them have willingly snatched up pitchforks and torches to join the inquisitional purges. Call me lacking in proper womanly sympathy, but I find the harm they've enabled and in some cases directly championed or funded - the hounding and shaming of vulnerable women, the forced loss of livelihoods, the unregulated medical experiment on minors - tends to dry up my tears at source. History is littered with the debris of irrational and harmful belief systems that once seemed unassailable. As Orwell said, 'Some ideas are so stupid that only intellectuals believe them.' Gender ideology may have embedded itself deeply into our institutions, where it's been imposed, top-down, on the supposedly unenlightened, but it is not invulnerable. Court losses are starting to stack up. The condescension, overreach, entitlement and aggression of gender activists is eroding public support daily. Women are fighting back and winning significant victories. Sporting bodies have miraculously awoken from their slumber and remembered that males tend to be larger, stronger and faster than females. Parts of the medical establishment are questioning cutting healthy breasts off teenaged girls is really the best way to fix their mental health problems. One seemingly harmless little white lie - Trans Women are Women, Trans Men are Men - uttered in most cases without any real thought at all, and a few short years later, people who think of themselves as supremely virtuous are typing 'yes, rapists' pronouns are absolutely the hill I'll die on,' rubbing shoulders with those who call for women to be hanged and decapitated for wanting all-female rape crisis centres, and furiously denying clear and mounting evidence of the greatest medical scandal in a century. I wonder if they ever ask themselves how they got here, and I wonder whether any of them will ever feel shame.

Only 1000 women earn their living from sport in the Uk. 11,000 men do! Yet still mediocre males want to take places, podiums & opportunities away from females in sport It’s SEX discrimination & we need to start suing for our rights! We do have them… we fought hard for them.

Katie Sheldon is a 20 year old from Dublin and already a world class professional darts player. Today a world title and £2300 prize was stolen from her by a male cheat, years older and twice her size. Will the Irish media and fellow athletes stand up for her? #SaveWomensSports

@SuzanneEvans1 Not only that but uncontrolled immigration leads to lower wages making it even harder for young people to get a foot on the housing ladder. But do the woke care about that? Not at all. They will just blame it on something else - no matter how impausible and illogical it is.

More women (at least two) in the UK have been murdered by their cross-dressing sons in the last five years than the total number of people in British history who have been murdered because they are 'transgender' (zero)

On Transgender Day of Remembrance, we remember the many trans people whose lives have been tragically cut short by violence. The Labour Party will always stand with LGBT+ people.

@StandingforXX The list is now meaningless, @jessphillips has ruined the one thing I respected her for. Pathetic, cowardly, most of all sad. A dark day for women caused by one single woman.

Men defining what a woman is, what women should and shouldn’t fear, what women should and shouldn’t say, what rights women should be fine with giving up and, of course, what constitutes ‘real’ misogyny: get a bloody mirror. That’s real misogyny, looking right back at you.

Upsetting report on @STVNews about convicted rapist being placed in women’s prison. Cab Sec for Justice @KeithBrownSNP says it is for the prison service to do risk assessment. Is being a convicted rapist not a bit of a hint? If you voted for self Id you voted for this. Own it.

@ask_aubry More married couples should talk about the financial hit that the primary caretaker (which is the wife 95% of the time) takes when the couple have kids. This should be factored into all long-term financial decisions, including pre-nups and retirement funding.

Women, in 2023 we will no longer react to the agenda, we will set it. I am confident that our voices will be heard. Take heart, be bold, and remember that the truth is unavoidable. #ineverlose #femalism #WeAreATsunami

The Taliban are reportedly shooting and beating male students who walked out of their exams in Afghanistan today in protest against the ban on women going to university. This is truly barbaric and horrifying. The world must watch, listen and act now.

My advice. Don’t justify the unjustifiable. Just say youmade a choice. Picked a side. Decided who was expendable and who was collateral damage. But never tell a survivor of male violence that you feel their pain. Just tell them other things mattered more. And live with your pick.

Whether you feel like celebrating or not, there’s a whole community here for you. Just send a Tweet and use the hashtag #JoinIn I’ve had some lovely conversations on here thanks to #JoinIn so don’t be shy ☺️ I’m currently eating chocolate buttons for breakfast!

@ejrosetta Thank you for your open mind. If you’re in London, come and join us on Sunday 27th in Hyde Park! @StandingforXX The park police don’t allow any TRAs to bother us so we can enjoy hearing women (and men at the end!) speak about our concerns.

#WomanFace #standingforwomen Let's keep it going - every day!
