I've seen "gender critical" activists say that cis women who suffer should accept their role as collateral damage in their "fight," because, again, they're not a women's rights movement, they exist to enforce binary sex roles on all of society. 6/

...trans women, but also leads to the assault and harrassment of cis women who don't conform to some jumped-up local bigot's idea of what a woman should look like. One cis woman lost her job in Walmart because a man challenged her in the toilet. Why? Because she was TALL. 5/

Every time I see some journalist or reporter frame Graham Linehan as a "women's rights activist," or describe JK Rowling as a feminist, I think they've lost their damn minds, or the ability to spend five minutes simply reading their Twitter accounts. 3/

Graham Linehan did a podcast with Joey Barton, while he was up on charges for kicking his wife in the head. JK Rowling didn't comment on that at all, but she did speak up for Graham when he was arrested for inciting violence against trans women in toilets, a move which won't just hurt...4/

I don't know how many times trans people and advocates have to be proved right before the centrists going along with the idea that these people are standing up for women's rights get it?

They don't care about all the girls who want to be in Scouts, they want to order the world to their ideology. 2/

Europe needs to stand up to Putin and take no shit and leave Trump to his slumber. He's a lame duck already and will be gone soon enough. And surely if Putin's demands are thrown back in his face the west can collectively defeat this man who has caused so much despair and death...

And with unlimited funds, they can do just that. They are genuinely disgusting.

As with Girl Guiding UK yesterday, this is precisely the case. They're both banning trans women/girls against their will and only due to threats of legal action.

Oppression grows inch by inch, excuse by excuse dressed up as ‘legitimate concern’. If we don’t draw the line then they will keep pushing it.

If you’re angry too, good. Use it. Turn it into action, solidarity, and noise. Let’s not walk this road again eh?4/4

Our elders fought tooth and nail against all of it and because they did, we’re here.

We owe them more than silence. We owe each other more than silence.

Support trans people in every way you can, whenever you can.

Don’t let this slide. Not now. Not ever.3/4

And let’s be honest, we’ve seen this pattern before.

Section 28. The government turning its back during the AIDS crisis. Decades of moral panics designed to target queer people and shrink our place in public life.

Policies emerged on the basis of imagined threats & lies about our community! 2/4
