Nobody really doubts only biological women can naturally give birth and only biological men can produce sperm. The confusion between gender and sex/biology has resulted in men believing they are women (usually parodies of women) because they are attracted to feminine attire and believe traditionally feminine roles and behaviours feel more natural to them. Similarly some women feel more comfortable dressing and behaving in a way they believe to be more masculine. To be a woman is not a feeling, it is a fact. If a man says he feels like a woman, the comment is meaningless.

There seems to be an obsession with what you were born as. Sex is genetic, it is determined at conception and will remain unchanged and detectable even after you are dead, it is a fact not something that is assigned, though there are some very rare cases where deformities do make it difficult to determine from physical observation at birth.
Gender would appear to be nothing more than a state of mind, on a spectrum and entirely fluid. There would therefore seem to be very little benefit to categorising people by it.
Unfortunately the language around the whole issue has become so mangled, confusing and ever changing as to what is acceptable and what is offensive at any one particular time, there seems to be little point in trying to keep up with any of it. Getting it “wrong” does not make you a phobe nor does it constitute hate speech. Everyone should be able to discuss their feelings and beliefs openly at any time in a liberal society. It is only authoritarian and totalitarian societies where there is a problem with doing so. It is a strange irony that those in our society who are acting in an authoritarian / totalitarian manner have decided to call themselves progressive.

Who inflicted ‘Pride Month’ on us? Pride is one of the mortal sins.

A horrible ideology that reinforces gender stereotypes, and prioritises medicalisation and surgery over introspection and encouraging people to be comfortable in their own skins. Aside from the gender stereotypes, they reinforce largely unattainable/unnecessary beauty standards – that progressives claim to rail against. There’s nothing wrong with a man who embraces his femininity (or vise versa) – it could even be celebrated as a true expression of one’s self, but that man is still a man and ought not be seen as anything else. Perhaps as a trans woman may be appropriate, if they feel that labels would help them (they wouldn’t) – but they don’t get the rights of the opposite sex.

The progressives are wrong about almost everything but they have mastered the use of language. Transphobia is so widespread these days, the activists must wish they could roll back the clock 20 years when their very existence wasn’t threatened. They must yearn for the days when we had Pride Year, rather than just Pride Month.

Enough of this insanity, the worlds NEEDS, is dieing for, is crying out for:

SHAME MONTH

Same characters, just being real, different flag.

I was begining to think that Scottish Labour was beginning to recognise damage it’s done with it’s unquestioning support of a misogynistic gender ideology. If Sarwar does not understand importance of discussing issues around equality act – especially in light of Westminster debate- then he is not fit to be taken seriously.

When did we as a society become so scared of men that wear dresses?

When a man says he feels like a woman, I wonder, how would he know.

The best a man can get, is to feel like a man might imagine a woman to feel like.

Bit like imagining what it feels like an ostrich or a badger.

The problem is that the Trans revolution has gone mainstream, or the discourse has, at least. So, anyone can join without any effort.
If anyone, literally anyone, can become trans at the drop of a hat, then maybe it’s the definition of trans woman that is wrong? Or maybe not all trans women can be called women?

In my experience, most people would not complain about a proper trans woman, i.e. a fully transitioned person, who acts and looks like a woman, blends in and is accepted. What we have now is a mockery of that and the new “women” are not being accepted largely as they don’t blend in as well as they have more male traits than female. But they want to be accepted as if they were real women. So this is the confusion, in my opinion, because there is uproar against what we feel are fake trans women, that are getting in the way of real transgender rights.
It’s driving division and that’s what the activists want.

Excellent piece, glad you mentioned Labour support for the travesty of the GRRA.

If Starmer intervenes in Scottish Labour business it will give a boost to the SNP, currently on the ropes. He doesn’t want to jeopardise Labour’s chances of SNP seats at the next election. The pursuit of power makes hypocrites of all politicians, but without power they can do nothing.

“refers to people who were born female.”. You mean females. What you are at birth is what you are, and will be your entire life.

With the Pill which Dr Jordan Peterson states has had a more powerful impact on human life than hydrogen bombs, we thought we had separated our sexual activity and its organs from its purpose; new life.
By this logic, “same sex” activity is as acceptable as any other activity that brings pleasure. And liberal women adopted the HIV infected young men (over a million dead in the west) in the same sex denying feminist garb de Beauvoir started.
“Gender” gets reinvented as if there ever was anything other than mature human sexual behavior, and immature human sexual behavior.
We rename sodomizing, “gay” and lie about the genetic evidence contradicting “born that way” lies, and railroad children, hundreds of thousands of whom were sexually abused at critical developmental ages (average 11 years old) by older males as the NYC AIDS study surveys proved.
And we slap ourselves on the back for being so loving and progressive.

Is the meeting still going ahead and has Regan been censur d as well?
