Trans activists cannot hide their misogyny
Last weekend, the #BeKind brigade struck again. At a demonstration outside Portsmouth Guildhall, apparently supported by the UK branch of Amnesty International, trans-rights protesters draped themselves in flags and carried placards featuring slogans such as ‘suck my dick you transphobic cunt’.
In Portsmouth they behaved like they wanted a war, not dialogue
To the annual FiLiA conference in Portsmouth. A 1,000-strong gathering of women of all ages and viewpoints, united by a desire and commitment to ending male violence, oppression and domination of women and girls.
Everyone there is interested in dipping their toes in the water of the women’s liberation movement. A big focus is the campaign to end rape, domestic abuse, commercial sexual exploitation, and femicide, the killing of women and girls by men because they are women and girls.
A month into my PhD at the University of Bristol, the students’ union voted for a blanket ban on ‘TERF’ speakers – that is, ‘trans-exclusionary radical feminists’ – on campus. The chilling effect of this was soon felt by myself and other feminists on campus. I never said I was a radical feminist, but that didn’t matter. What mattered to the wannabe despots at Bristol was that people like me were stepping out of line.
Marion Millar, 50, from Airdrie, was charged under the Communications Act for six tweets published from 2019. If convicted she faces up to six months in prison.
The messages investigated by officers are understood to include a retweeted photograph of a bow of ribbons in the green, white and purple colours of the Suffragettes, tied around a tree outside the Glasgow studio where a BBC soap opera is shot.
It is believed a complaint was made to the police suggesting the ribbons represented a noose. It was one of at least six tweets reported to police. The nature of the other complaints is unclear.
There is an interesting site which breaks down American voting trends by occupation. Some of it is mysterious — why should pediatricians swing so overwhelmingly to the Democrats? Why should urology be so dominated by Republicans? Readers may insert their own jokes here.
But some of the voting patterns are far from surprising. No one would expect yoga teaching to be a hotbed of radical right-wing activity, for instance, and yogis do indeed push heavily to the left.
“We see that men who have transitioned are systematically trying to take control of lesbian associations.”
Because she had published on her blog an article on the pressures made on lesbians to sleep with men , the lesbian sociologist Christine Delphy was attacked by a group of three people during a sociology conference she was giving in Toulouse. . Her attackers violently blocked the holding of the conference, reading a statement explaining that “to say no to a woman as a lesbian because this woman has a penis is to confuse gender social identity and desires or sexual practices. “… In other words, if men declare themselves to be women “with penises”, they gain the right to have sexual relations with us (regardless of our consent), and to confiscate our visibility!
