Following Graham Linehan's arrest, it's worth being TOTALLY clear. And if I get arrested too, so be it. - Women need safe spaces. - Children shouldn't be subjected to medical experimentation. - Lesbians aren't bigots for not shagging men. #LockMeUp #istandwithglinner
Thank you for following Womensart Happy Friday all....❤️
"The role of fan fiction in young women's adoption of trans identities is an ongoing research project of mine - it's incredibly powerful, and hardly anyone knows about it. I talk more about this in a podcast I recorded a couple of days ago - will drop soon" OK?

And they did well with that didn't they? 🙃 Bullying and power trip games against the most vulnerable trans people. Pressuring to post nudes. The unofficial lead moderator Kari outed as a sexual abuser in league with the Feds. Bluesky has improved a LOT since those days, NO thanks to the trans users.
This is so stupid. The fact that GLAAD was going on about it tells you everything you need to know about GLAAD. Joyce was doing research for an article and someone on public transport invaded her privacy.

The horrifying reality for women who stand against men’s violence against women, is that men will aim that same violence & #misogyny directly at them for doing so. Thousands of men sent rape & death threats to women who objected, to games that glorify rape & sexual violence. #CollectiveShout

With each accommodation this administration makes for Ghislaine Maxwell, it retraumatizes the victims and minimizes the harm she caused. And we're supposed to believe that these are the people who are super concerned with pedophelia and sex trafficking? Are MAGA supporters still buying this shit?

To fight for a third space would be to admit that women have a right to their own spaces. And that trans women are not the same as female people. That admission...is ideologically unacceptable to a movement that insists “trans women are women” in the most literal and legally binding sense.

Genevieve mentioned you over on twitter so I thought I'd come over and follow you. Democracies need dissent and dissenters.
It's so boring when people scream at you that it's biased. Of course it's biased, it reports on things progressive media refuses to cover so it only reports on one topic from one angle. Someone has to!
I need to get on with the rest of this.
Why are they letting Khelif box? I don't get it.

Less than 0.02% of people are true intersex, where it cannot be determined. It’s pretty easy to detect, and all girls should get medical checkups if they don’t get their period. It’s amazing how well sexual dimorphism works. Check out this video on DSD conditions in sports youtu.be/XDPaVjFjI9w

Sotomayor’s support for the aggressive pro-democracy movement is so important at this critical time. She understands that while we must bring difficult cases and be willing to lose, we must always fight to win. And by lending her voice she affirmed that it is “our time to stand up and be heard.”

I will leave this pinned to my profile until it sinks in. If you have any questions, or require further clarity, please ask. Happy to help.
Bluesky is an absolute sewer when you don't hold the correct opinions.
The law is clear, men are officially not women. We are supposed to be able to express opinions (aka facts) without discrimination or fear. & yet? Organisations are doublingdown on the protrans propaganda make special efforts to support transrights from the horrible women who dare to have boundaries

It's a bit disconcerting to see so many people refuse to accept that sometimes we need female-only spaces. This is especially true for lesbians. It doesn't mean mixed-sex spaces can no longer exist.
