Oh look it's that thing that apparently never happens, boyish or masc women being targeted when they try to use a women's toilet....- Heterosexual staff in organisations must leave their politics at the door. No announcements of heterosexual weddings please, no photos of your heterosexually produced babies going around the intranet, don't assume right to surname or pronoun change after your straight wedding.
- "Every two weeks, at least three women in the UK are killed by their (male) partner or ex-partner. Since lockdown began, that number has jumped to five women a week"
- Our children shouldn't be part of adult sexuality & gender experiments. Yet schools are awash with promotion of the heterosexual lifestyle, from reception. This is too young. Masculinity is imposed on boys & femininity imposed on girls. It's time to stop gender ideology.
- So women artists can make explicit music videos, as can straight men, for decades there can basically be soft porn in mainstream music & that's all harmless hetty fun but now Sam Smith does it & suddenly it's perverted grooming filth. HELLO HOMOPHOBIA & TRANSPHOBIA!
- Saying that sex is a construct is perfectly valid. It's not saying sexed genital & reproductive features of the body are constructed; it's not saying the body isn't real; it's to say that what those bodily features mean is constructed by society. The meanings are constructed.
- A binder is a tight vest, made out of sports bra type material. It's not a crime to wear one. It's a good thing that proper ones are more available now, along with info on how to get them on & off, size them properly, when not to wear them, signs you have the wrong size etc.
- Look at this heterosexual propaganda in a public railway station! #grooming Why do I have to see this #sexualisation in my face? This isn't neutral, they could just have been friends, but no, we have to have straight sexuality shoved down our throats!
- "By an accident of birth he (William) has acquired the right to pocket the income from 53,000 hectares of land across 20 counties, as well as forests, rivers, quarries and coastline. Last year they paid out Prince William £23.6m. You read that right."
- Replying to @bbcquestiontimeIs it morally right for 5 year old children to learn about heterosexual issues in school? Why do so many children's books contain representations of the heterosexual lifestyle? Is this appropriate? Does having mummies & daddies in kids books expose them to heterosexual sex?
- Branding all LGBTQ people as groomers, child abusers &/or child abuse apologists leads to real hate crimes against LGBTQ ppl, boosts a resurgent nationalist right-wing, & yet does nothing to address endemic child abuse in majority communities/institutions.
- More of it I'd say. Rainbows everywhere, rainbows until people stop bothering. Until people aren't shot for being in a gay bar, rainbows until ppl feel safe holding hands, rainbows until we don't have to feel grateful for a basic minimum that many of us don't even have anyway.
- Andrea Dworkin pointed out the irony of being told men are women's natural protectors, when they are the biggest danger. Whether women are put on a pedestal or a pyre, it's the same old patriarchy. Men & women are not different species, men are not naturally superior to women.
