Quote from: JaDanketies on May 06, 2022, 03:27:04 PMSince Gender Critters view everything through the prism of a single issue, this election is clearly a massive show of support for "mealy-mouthed wishy-washy equivocating."

But but GCs are just expressing what everyone is thinking. This doesn't make sense.

Everyone's been captured!

Everyone must be so worried about the Trans Menace that they can't even be honest in the polling booth, lest they get discovered to be a cishet and summarily executed

I'd almost forgotten they existed. Rather like Scottish voters then, apparently.

I'm sorry, I just gotta post this again now as I still can't believe the way they try to depict the Trans Menace:

Quote from: Lauren BlackMy wife was more sure than I was. I will never forget sitting on my back step with her at home. The sun was going down and I worried aloud, "what if they come for us?" She put her red hair over her shoulder in the light of the setting sun and as it flashed in her eyes she resolved, "let them come."

We came out in our own names the next day.

And might as well revist the face her wife pulled when Graham went to hug her at a protest in Belfast 😬

The Scottish Greens getting record numbers of seats in a good few areas, too (Edinburgh, for instance), and they're the least transphobic party with representation in GB, I reckon.

Amazing, under every "women won't wheesht" tweet you had massive replies of people supporting Alba. It's so surreal how warped twitter can make reality seem.

Linehan appearing in another article:

The dark reality of trans conversion therapy

QuoteJessie's parents – who she describes as "gender critical" and "anti-trans" – had told her that they'd found a therapist who was a "trans ally". Initially, she believed them. But when a friend sent her a YouTube video of her therapist chatting with Graham Linehan and making transphobic comments, she realised that she'd been subjected to conversion therapy.

Well I didn't expect today to go like this. A combination of Green & Alba votes leaves me no longer a councillor.  Pretty ironic really. Still, more time to campaign for independence. Onwards & upwards.

You ignored their concerns, but women spoke with their votes. Now you have the reckoning.

Chris McEleny turning 5000 Twitter followers into 126 votes is fucking delicious.

Quote from: Better Midlands on May 06, 2022, 12:33:04 PMI can imagine this causing some issues in the future and being a homophobic flashpoint, radfems are very much against gay men using surrogates.



Not sure what's going on with the 'it's' thing as it seems a combination of weird phrasing and a typo.




The active noun - the "it" in that sentence - is "the fact". But of course, transphobes are thick as fuck and incapable of seeing past their obsessions. If they weren't, they wouldn't be transphobes.

Banana post



Would I be right in thinking that if you are pro-surrogacy then the sex of either/both of the prospective parents is irrelevant?

Will I call Linehan "really fucking homophobic" again?

 Yes, I think I will do that.

Ex_GC

Is that not just short of saying 'gay men shouldn't be parents as it goes against the natural family order'?

Quote from: Poirots BigGarlickyCorpse on May 06, 2022, 02:11:56 PMHey folks, it's probably a bit early to be thinking of this but if there's a thread 19[1] I'm going to consolidate some of the historical cuntery into fewer points. Like instead of listing every GBeebies appearance I'd have "Been on GB News X times" for instance. I'll still have a New Since Last Time section. Sound good? Barry if this belongs in the moderation thread please move it.


1. Of course there'll be one.

I was going to suggest this on the last thread, then thought it looked a bit cunty, given that you're having fun and putting a lot of effort in. But previous intro posts would cut and consolidate stuff in each new iteration as a matter of course. When it's as long as the first post here, I worry that most people won't bother to read it.

It is notable that this is the one non-trans-related "feminist issue" he seems to get really het up about. Pun intended.

Would he be equally furious about a heterosexual cis couple using a surrogate? Or a pair of cis lesbians who are unable to carry a baby?

The latest SGB post is a guest post (of course) about a trans support group in Nottingham for 12-18 year olds, that's run by a mental health professional lady who also DJs. She has DJ'd at a few gay nights/clubs and posted about doing so on her personal twitter account.

Needless to say this is written up as a massive safeguarding risk, even though there's absolutely no evidence at all to suggest her two professional roles overlap in the slightest.

In other words, it's just saying that anyone who has anything to do with the gays is somehow a risk to children, but with the usual "won't someone think of the children" veneer that lets them thing they aren't being raging homophobes.

No. Its just offence-mining by hiding behind women again.

He probably has nothing against this in reality, but he knows there are similar rage junkies on Twitter who will bite at this and circulate his shit.

Yeah I'm not saying he has something against it in reality, it just sounds very close to the 'gay men shouldn't have children' argument. That he probably has nothing against it in reality makes it even more baffling. Why does he go against his principles so much?

GCs very quiet on twitter heh, also the MN elections thread which was full of excitable chat about Alba and spoiled ballots and voting Tory for the first time because Bojo knows what a woman is, has turned into a shouting match about who's fault it now all is. It's Theresa May's apparantly and someone called Maria Miller.

king_tubby

She, er, she was instrumental in bringing in same sex marriage when she was Equalities minister under Cameron.

Is this bad now in GC world?

This interpretation makes no sense, because the "the fact" is clearly about the child and there's no reason why Dowling would be claiming otherwise. (Setting aside that "related to" is an extremely weird way to put that.)

Ah, you might be right, I misread the quote. Who's the thick one now, eh?

(It's still the transphobes.)
