You can imagine the conversations, sotto voce, 'thank god that weirdo man has gone'

"In humans, anatomical developmental patterns are fixed during early embryonic development, and sex does not change throughout the individual lifespan"
Sad that this even needs stating but a great initiative

Dubai expats remain the gift that keeps on giving
We should thank them for laughter in hard times

Good news for Yeovil
But as always this government is doing the bare minimum. The forces need 44 and are getting 23
And the money will be taken from some other project that generates fewer headlines

You don't get to apologise after you're cancelled. No one can hear you

Oh dear gawd, they're back to the racism comparison
No black man campaigned to colonise women's spaces because if he had, black women would have given him a sock in the eye

Pink News wants to colonise women's single-sex spaces but say 'we don't hate them'

No need to worry in a UK context
We have so few aircraft we can't fend anyone off

Row breaks out over event's single-sex policy in Brighton One woman claims

'Hayes, who is a co-founder of Sisters Heal, told the BBC she restricted attendance to the class because "a lot of women cannot heal in a mixed-sex space".
"Female survivors [of sexual abuse and domestic violence] have been harmed by male bodies, male voices ...'

Dan may not have diddled the numbers, but numerous trans activists did
There is no rational case for the erasure of women to make weirdo men feel better
None

Yep, have serious problems with this argument. Are genuine liberals supposed to vote for extremist Greens or left-wing socialists?

So if Muslims should vote Green because they follow an Islamist agenda, who should Muslims and Sikhs vote for?
(sorry but I'n new to sectarianism)

It's painful for trans extremists to see the way the debate has gone
After all, you aided the butchery and medical experimentation on unhappy kids and adults
There is no rational argument for this, and no scientific foundation
So you call it reactionary, because that's your last roll of the dice

Opinion | Medical Associations Trusted Belief Over Science on Youth Gender Care

Very good from Jesse Singal on trans extremism
"The approach of left-of-center Americans and our institutions β€” to assume that when a scientific organization releases a 'policy statement' on a hot-button issue, it must be accurate β€” is deeply naΓ―ve"

We don't shackle women
ffs, you'd have thought those days were over
No fault divorce and the right to have sex with whomever you want are fundamental rights, even if they're sometimes poorly exercised

There’s been this longstanding thing that men are not to be trusted and by and large I support this because some of us are creeps and this is why none of us are allowed in the ladies’ lavs even if we wear makeup and pretend to be called Monica.

The old rule of journalism - if the headline (usually in the Mail) asks a question, the answer's invariably no

He's a woman-hating yob spewing out all the delusions of lie of the trans extremist movement
The essence is that women should be silenced and bullied into surrendering their rights
Won't happen, of course

They don't care about thieves
Or thee dignity and hopes of women
It's what marks them out as heartless pigs
