Israel kills 97 Palestinians in Gaza since start of ceasefire Gaza Government Media Office says Israel has breached the truce agreement 80 times, including 21 violations on Sunday.

"US media outlets cited Trump administration officials as saying that the killing of two Israeli soldiers, which was blamed on Hamas, was the result of an Israeli bulldozer running over unexploded ordnance."

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

🇺🇸 🔥 That. Was. Impressive.

We are watching America reassert itself and its values from the grassroots up. The world saw you and we have huge hope invested in you.

They want us to believe they’re “joking” when they do this shit.
They don’t know how to joke.
When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

You are reducing it to the fact that predatory men have gone to great lengths to satisfy their want. But there are examples of transwomen demanding access to medical treatment that their physiology does not require. That is one example.

I understand, but it doesn't change the fact that male and female are biologically different. I've also met a woman who showed all the traditional strengths attributed to men, but she was a woman. We also said, "She's a better man than all of us," but it was a figurative expression.

I agree with you that we should accept the identity that a person gives themselves, but facts remain facts, and we can't equate a biological male with a biological female. That is why I say that Transwoman is the correct terminology. It is quite a sober distinction, free of emotion.

I'm just wondering if you send as many hate messages to everyone you misunderstand as you have sent to me. If you do, you must have a lot of time on your hands.

My goodness, you do have a lot of hate. You must have had a hard time. I'm sorry for your pain.

You seem to think that I have something against queer folk, but that isn't true. But you have exploded with abuse at one comment you haven't read properly. Do you do this every time?

It's a shame that you ignore the fact that I am deeply inclusive, but recognise that different people and different sexes have different needs. You can't equate biologically different people.

Another example of your inability to differentiate. Your attempts to troll me only show how criticism of left cancel culture is easily proven to be right. I haven't demonised anyone.

You have invested a lot in trolling me, despite the fact that I am sympathetic for the needs of transwomen. I just agree with JKR that equating them with biological women is not appropriate. It isn't even a question of danger, but the fact that biological women and transwomen have different needs.

I think that the big problem here is we forget that she is defending the rights of women (adult female), which have been hard won, against the extension of them to men who want those rights for themselves. Transwomen are not women, but have their own needs.
