    The GC world cup 2023! Who knows if twitter/me/the world will survive the year, but while there's daftness of this calibre let's face the music and dance the irrationality tango.
    The right to have an erection in the ladies toilets is not a human right.

    Here is Victoria Coren Mitchell, a cis woman literally telling Graham Linehan PUBLICLY what he has done wrong, and saying she also said it privately. But apparently nobody will tell him what he's done wrong. People have tried mate. You should try listening.
    Tweet by Victoria Coren mitchell. Seriously Graham stop it. I understand what you think you're doing in your mind, but I promise it looks horrible. I've told you think private and I'll tell you publicly they are just people on a quiz, bringing nothing but merriment into the world, please leave them alone.

    So I'd read auntie here as 'someone who is my life by circumstance rather than choice, who I have a degree of affection for' Helen Joyce reads is 'I don't want to have sex with her, so will dismiss her'. Ok.....

    David Tennant, boiling GC piss with added jokes.
    Iโ€™m gutted, Iโ€™m such a huge fan of his. Iโ€™ve been hugely looking forward to the second series of Good Omens.

And now this. When challenged on it, apparently he said โ€œIโ€™m OK, TERFs canโ€™t climbs stairsโ€.

How very disappointing.

    "What do you mean TransAtlantic? Why are you trying to trans an ocean?"
    
Tweet by @_celia_bedelia  I say vagina all the time. Uterus. Cervix. Next week Iโ€™m getting a transvaginal ultrasound. No one popped up to tell me I couldnโ€™t say these words

Reply by @annettescambler
You are getting a trans vaginal ultrasound? You are wasting valuable medical time checking up on your man made inserted into a man artificial 'vagina'. Doesn't it strike you as very odd when people in pain have been waiting for their operations for months. No, of course not.

    JK Rowling is best known as a children's author. She's not Mary Wollstonecraft, she's not an expert on prisons policy, she's not a gender studies professor, she's not a lawyer, and she's DEFINITELY not the spokesperson for UK women.

    Mumsnet are getting upset about actors playing the opposite sex in Shakespeare. " kids were in the audience.ย  It felt a little like finding yourself in a recruitment party for a transgressive sex cult, when what you really wanted was Shakespeare." Who wants to tell them?
    Spent the evening at Shakespeareโ€™s Globe, at what turned out to be a queer production of As You Like It.

Almost all the actors were cast as characters of the opposite sex, and several appeared to be trans actors. In the play, some characters have to disguise themselves as the opposite sex, so it was impossible to follow whoโ€™s who (โ€˜Hang on, so that woman with a beard is meant to be a male character, who then is disguised as a woman; no, wait a minuteโ€ฆโ€™). There were a few good individual performances, but artistically it was a complete dogโ€™s dinner.

It was shot through with sexualised queer stylings and dances, and ended with a speech (that definitely wasnโ€™t written by Shakespeare) about how weโ€™re all part of a big queer family, whether or not we wear nail varnish. 

Lots of kids were in the audience. 

It felt a little like finding yourself in a recruitment party for a transgressive sex cult, when what you really wanted was Shakespeare.

    Can people stop saying 'JK Rowling has every right to be heard because she is a woman?' She doesn't have some kind of gold plated, diamond encrusted uterus, millions of women disagree with her, but the Daily Mail isn't publishing our opinions because we're not rich.

    Well here's a mystery. An Oregon woman has said she was denied cancer care at a clinic because she didn't like them having a trans flag. The clinic says they don't treat cancer.
    Marlene Barbera said she was undergoing treatment for breast cancer at Richmond Family Medicine Clinic, which is part of the Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU). Last year, she wrote a message to inform her doctor that she didn't feel comfortable entering the clinic, which prominently displayed a transgender flag, according to a report by Reduxx, a feminist news and opinion website.

"I do not feel comfortable coming into Richmond with that enormous transgenderism banner hanging like a Nazi flag behind the reception desk," Barbera wrote. "Where is the flag for women? For children?"

She added, "Male violence toward women is undimmed by any level of transition."

However, an OHSU spokesperson told Newsweek that the Richmond Family Medicine Clinic doesn't offer oncology services.

    I note that having not got over Atwood's betrayal, the GCs are trying to recruit Terry Practhett posthumously presumably because they know he can't contradict them.

    What Helen Joyce said word for word with alt text.
    โ€œAnd in the meantime, while weโ€™re trying to get through to the decision-makers, we have to try to limit the harm and that means reducing or keeping down the number of people who transition,โ€ Joyce said.

โ€œThatโ€™s for two reasons โ€“ one of them is that every one of those people is a person whoโ€™s been damaged. But the second one is every one of those people is basically, you know, a huge problem to a sane world.โ€Joyce continued: โ€œIf youโ€™ve got people โ€“ whether theyโ€™re transitioned, whether theyโ€™re happily transitioned, whether theyโ€™re unhappily transitioned, whether theyโ€™re detransitioned โ€“ if youโ€™ve got people whoโ€™ve dissociated from their sex in some way, every one of those people is someone who needs special accommodation in a sane world where we re-acknowledge the truth of sex.

โ€œAnd I mean the people whoโ€™ve been damaged by it โ€“ the children whoโ€™ve been put through this โ€“ those people deserve every accommodation we can possibly make, but every one of them is a difficulty.โ€
