I’m going to need everyone crowing about how effective covid vaccines are to go ahead and stop worrying about whether everyone else has got one 😊

There’s not one question or idea that could ever scare me more than the attempts to censor them do.

Kids who don't fit sex stereotypes don't have a disease that you need to medicate them for

"Gender is a social construct and not real in any meaningful way, but I am 100% certain that I know what it's like to be the other gender based upon media I have consumed"

Men who pretend they're women are absolutely insane and there's nothing scarier for women than insane men.

When you think about it, it's a good thing that people can actually magically change gender. Because if they couldn't really, all the people who advocate for puberty blockers and gender affirming surgery, would be total f*cking psychopaths. What a terrifying prospect.

In theory I’m all for the voluntary and informed use of vaccines as a technology. In practice I’ve lost trust in our institutions, and lack the faith in their ability to resist corruption and capture required to move me from my current position of defection back to one of cooperation. There’s no amount of shame or vitriol one can pour upon me that will change this. Only by demonstrating competence, transparency, accountability, and epistemic humility can our institutions rebuild the trust required. I too feel it’s a shame we’ve fallen to these depths, and that this is a particularly bad time to have lost said trust. I know full well that this may expose me to other risks. But there it is. I now believe those risks to be less than the risks of exposing myself to the whims of our captured and corrupted institutions. How to fix it? Kick the Chicken Littles, Public Health Totalitarians, and Profit-at-all-cost types out of the field. Stigmatize *those behaviors*, rather than the growing “non-compliance” of a public that has predictably lost faith in its institutions due to the consequences of the aforementioned behaviors. Rebuild a culture of responsibly measured communication with the public. No more hysterics. Acknowledge that the burden of proof, as well as the burden of persuasion, is on you. Internalize the message that when it comes to said persuasion, both overt coercion and covert psychological manipulation are *out of bounds*. At that point, I’ll be open to re-extending my trust.

If your civil rights movement requires the existence of Big Pharma to intervene in the bodies of healthy people & make them sick- You’re not in a civil rights movement- you’re ensnared in a techno-medical labyrinth underpinned by a decentralized cult 🏳️‍⚧️

When an adult male puts on make-up and a dress and declares himself a woman, the last thing he wants is to be actually treated as a woman. He wants to retain his male privilege and use his new super power - cos playing a pornified version of womanhood - to coercively control his wife or women in general. Transgenderism is about enhancing and refining male power and dominance. Not about becoming a woman.

Medicalized cross dressing isn’t a civil rights movement.

If 'transwomen' really were women, their voices would be ignored like other women . That their voices are listened to by those in power, demonstrates that male entitlement endures. Men know men, and will always privilege their demands.

We're constantly told that sex and "gender" are completely different things. So how can sex and "gender" match or fail to match? If they're completely different then by definition they can never match: they're incommensurable. 1/5

Low-key one of the best things you can do for your soul: Be on the lookout for great write-ups of great arguments, of different sorts and across different domains, and when you find them, read them and mull them a bit.

Once you stop believing one of the things, you soon stop believing all of the things. That's why the policing around believing all the things is so intense.

Who are psychologists who decided that a life of feigning, lying, 'passing,' and 'being stealth' was in any sense "authentic"? Who were the developmental psychologists who approved making a whole classroom of children lie, when a peer makes a secret transition?

Gender cultists are joyless ghouls because they are cursed with having to take themselves seriously. They pretend to have changed sex, or to be sexless. They use pronouns like "dragon." Or they have to be "allies" to people who do. The whole thing is a farce, but they can't laugh

And we consider the fact that it is somehow not evident to everyone that female people have a legitimate political interest in whether female people exist as a class in law to be the greatest demonstration of patriarchy we have seen in our lifetimes.

I’m hearing people saying that People Who Don’t Have Driving Licences shouldn’t be driving on roads. A reminder for bigots: People Who Don’t Have Driving Licences have been driving on roads for decades. You’ve probably driven next to one lots of times and not even noticed. /1

One of the ways the genderatti have managed to be so successful in backdooring their hateful, misogynistic ideology is by using euphemistic language that often means the opposite of what is described ("trans women" to describe a type of man, for example). In this 🧵, I'm going to repost many of the "trans voices" from JK's link below, only this time using accurate language for the things actually being described ("TERF" will become 'woman/female', "trans woman" will become 'man' etc). Even for those of us well aware of the violent misogyny at the core of transgenderism, it still comes as a shock when you see it described accurately like that, and makes it even more baffling at how we allowed this malignant cancer to spread so far and so wide before we woke up to how dangerous it is.

What are the chances that, c. 1.2 billion years after gonochoristic reproduction evolved, an ideologically-driven sex-confusion would emerge at precisely the same time that a self-selecting group of males are demanding the right to be able to self-identify into women's spaces?

Suspend reality with me for just a moment. You're living in a white majority country, where the majority religion is catholic/christian. You don't really believe in religion yourself, and you send your young daughter to a regular, non-religious state school. You find out one day that your school is teaching your child about Islam in religious studies. But you're a kind person, an inclusive person, so you think nothing of it. Later down the line, you are finding that the school are teaching your child that Islam is the ultimate truth, it is correct, and even if you don't call yourself a Muslim, you would be a horrible, hateful person if you didn't at least believe in Islam. That to speak out against anything to do with Islam is hateful - you're not allowed to disagree. One day, your daughter comes home, fearful. She asks you to buy her a hijab, she fears that Allah will be unhappy with her if she doesn't wear one. She fully believes in Islam now, she needs to dress the part. You tell her no, we don't believe in Allah in our house, we aren't muslims. She cries and tells you you're a bad person for denouncing Allah. A few days later, you find out that your daughter's school have provided her with a hijab. Not only that, you have become a parent 'of concern' to the school for not supporting your daughter's beliefs. Maybe they even think you're abusive. You feel you're losing your mind - everyone around you is supportive of your daughter's new religion. She covers her body all of the time and lives in fear of Allah. She doesn't seem any happier for her new beliefs. One day she comes home. She wants to be circumsized. She says it is cleaner, reduces excess sexual desire, and will help her to be a better muslim. You are horrified, and say no. You will not consent to your daughter mutilating her genitals. This has gone too far. Now, the school definitely think you're abusive. They report you to child services for not respecting your child's belief system. Your daughter is taken by child services, and placed with a muslim family, and her circumcision is approved. This is exactly how gender critical parents see what is happening with gender ideology.
