Rival demos in Dublin - pro-trans and pro-women. The latter one, which I support, was attended by Graham "Father Ted" Linehan. I've nothing against biological men living as women, within limits, but those limits stop short of them using women-only spaces and participating in female sport. I have some sympathy with TERFs.

Biological men living a female lifestyle.

Biological men living a female lifestyle.

What is a 'female lifestyle' that isn't based on stereotypes?

What is a 'female lifestyle' that isn't based on stereotypes?

It is one based on stereotypes. what of it? Why are you arguing the toss? I thought you agreed with me about trannies!

It is one based on stereotypes. what of it? Why are you arguing the toss? I thought you agreed with me about trannies!

Because it shows that people who believe in trans ideology, and you accept the same basic stereotypes.

And your use of the word 'trannies' rather underlines that.

Ah those women, gathering to talk about women's issues. Just the time for some dick to go and shout 'Fuck you' at them. The regressive aspects of the gender religion are so obvious.

Victoria Smith on gender-critical women being courageous, but why they should not have to be

https://thecritic.co.uk/think-about-the-consequences/

[Nearly Sane]

One of the things that I find most annoying about the bunch of prick politicians, and those who think they are being 'progressive' but have merely swallowed a new religion that is anti women, is that women standing up for women becomes portrayed as 'anti trans'. The gift that the left has handed to the right here by their lack of thought, and puppyish eagerness to be on trend is a betrayal of women.
