A fundamental respect for the right to believe is unmoved by the contempt of the belief. Fact-smuggler, with pockets #IStandWithGravity #YaMumsGotMassiveGametes
Reaching for reason, rest, a breath we will stumble, slip in the traps collapse sometimes, for a time This is the weight of what we witness We all lift for each other, for a time over every trap, bluff, bereavement, blind we lift our vital voices, lives, minds sure as sun WE RISE
Today's random conversation was with a mechanic whilst waiting for car to be fixed. He apologised for keeping us waiting (over an hour) and said we must be bored. I said not bored because following a court case live and explained which one. He had heard of Sandie and the SC…
If you watch Silence of the Lambs and wonder, "How could women make poor Buffalo think and do such terrible things?" then "soppy" is not your issue 👀
Nobody would care if "son" was used as term of condescension if the MAN it was directed at (prob as a default nicety) hadn't been hellbent on crucifying women who didn't uphold his Penis Prayer Pretence.
The "moral injury" argument is so incredibly weak its hard to guess why it would be spotlighted. Men who exhibit contempt for women (and facts) are a risk++ to women. Pretending those risk++ men are women *and* condemning those who won't pretend CONCEALS & COMPOUNDS the risk.
You'd be forgiven for thinking *respects facts* would be pretty high on the "must have" list for doctors, judges, journalists ... And *exhibits contempt for facts* pretty high on the disqualification/misconduct list. And you'd be so very wrong.
She heard a nurse state biological fact and thought that was a bit off?
Men who say they're women are exhibiting grotesque contempt for women and facts. No judge, doctor or journalist should ever abet such unethical contempt for women or facts.
Women repairing or possibly putting the finishing touches to a barrage balloon. An extraordinary painting by war artist Leslie Cole.
tbh, if you won't refer to them as Shownouns, which you should, then at least say pretence pronouns. "preferred" implies it's merely a preference, no biggie. Not the standard: "we prefer you to pretend OR ELSE."
Contempt for women & facts needn't be mis-"understood as a religion" to appreciate why "heretic" fits. Illiberal adherents of counter-factual dogma may as well be shouting charges of "Heresy! Blasphemy!" in their condemnation of "Unbelievers!" who won't pretend men are women.
No judge should misrepresent a man's sex or permit witnesses/lawyers to do so. ALL adult male people are MEN. Referring to MEN as if they were women/female is misrepresenting facts. In court, this should be prohibited.
No editor should misrepresent a man's sex or permit journalists to do so. No judge should misrepresent a man's sex or permit witnesses/lawyers to do so. "Except, say, if he has puffly wuffly garden gnomes; then just happily torch professional ethics at the altar of shownouns!"
An excellent point!
Dr Searle claims she knows she's female because it says so on her birth certificate yet Dr Upton’s birth certificate says male. 🤔
"But this isn't a story about – let's say – Dr Upton's collection of garden gnomes; in such a case, we'd be happy to indulge his chosen pronouns." 🧐 Why? Why would you misrepresent the sex of any man? For whose benefit? Ridiculous position to take. scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/comment/scotti…
This is nonsense There is no reason for journalists to ever suggest a man is a woman. Men are not women. It's discourteous to women to suggest they are.
Absolutely. And serve as a reminder that no woman is guaranteed not to fall prey to ridiculous ideology or manipulative, abusive men.
Without female language being used for men, #SandiePeggie case would never have happened. Had every erroneous “she”, used for a man who kicked up the fuss about being asked to leave female changing room, been the correct “he”, this farce would never have gotten this far.
