This has made me weep a bit... thank goodness... thank you, 10K non-TERF cis-women!!! 🤗 💜

thepinknews.com/2025/05/29/cis

Published on Monday (26 May) Not in Our Name has already attracted signatures from more than 9,600 cis women who support the message that all women should be “united by a shared truth” that “cisgender men who abuse their power are the real threat”.

The petition goes on to say: “Throughout our lives, we have endured harassment, discrimination, violence and abuse in countless forms: from childhood catcalls to workplaces discrimination, from domestic violence to sexual assault, from being silenced in boardrooms to be being blamed for crimes committed against us.

“We know intimately what the real threat to women looks like.”

and

“Enough scapegoating of trans women by politicians who refuse to confront male violence,” the petition demanded. “Enough media sensationalism that profits from hatred while women of all backgrounds suffer real harm. Enough false feminism that abandons the most-vulnerable women, leaving all women at greater risk.

“We will speak for ourselves. We stand with our trans siblings. We demand better.”

and

“The real threat to women has never been trans women seeking to live their lives with dignity. The real threat remains what it has always been: a culture that enables male violence and blames everyone except the men who perpetrate it.”

🤗 💜💯✅👍

@sister_ratched Oh dear, how sad, never mind.

Hopefully when his last will & testament is read, he'll have mandated total termination of the catholic cult, full reparation to all victims or their estates globally, & any residual gifted to charities. Oh, ofc, also full handover of all dossiers of all the numerous paedophiles protected by this cult.

Am reading #TheBeautifulAndDamned, F Scott Fitzgerald. I'm only part-way thru it, just beginning Book Two this morn. My early pleasure at FSF's clever language has been marred many times by my shock at his overtly misogynistic prolly, sexist defo, tones. Women are constantly "stupid", "dull", "fat", "breeders", otherwise objects of lust & for conquest, but never as respectful equals.

There's been many earlier times i was tempted to toot quotes illustrating my preceding critique, but this morning i found a new low.

The man had had the hardest blow of his life. He knew at last what he wanted, but in finding it out it seemed that he had put it forever beyond his grasp. He reached home in misery, dropped into an armchair without even removing his overcoat, and sat there for over an hour, his mind racing the paths of fruitless and wretched self-absorption. She had sent him away! That was the reiterated burden of his despair. Instead of seizing the girl and holding her by sheer strength until she became passive to his desire, instead of beating down her will by the force of his own, he had walked, defeated and powerless, from her door, with the corners of his mouth drooping and what force there might have been in his grief and rage hidden behind the manner of a whipped schoolboy. At one minute she had liked him tremendously—ah, she had nearly loved him. In the next he had become a thing of indifference to her, an insolent and efficiently humiliated man.

He had no great self-reproach—some, of course, but there were other things dominant in him now, far more urgent. He was not so much in love with Gloria as mad for her. Unless he could have her near him again, kiss her, hold her close and acquiescent, he wanted nothing more from life. By her three minutes of utter unwavering indifference the girl had lifted herself from a high but somehow casual position in his mind, to be instead his complete preoccupation. However much his wild thoughts varied between a passionate desire for her kisses and an equally passionate craving to hurt and mar her, the residue of his mind craved in finer fashion to possess the triumphant soul that had shone through those three minutes. She was beautiful—but especially she was without mercy. He must own that strength that could send him away.

This was written in 1922. Today we have epidemics of entitled dickswingers believing women are their property do do with as they wish, including rape, beat, murder. It seems that popular culture has been normalising this for far longer than i'd realised.

Repugnant.

Now wondering if i should finish this book, & indeed whether to read the other FSF's on my tablet.

Worst of all, how can i continue to hold Gatsby in such high regard?

@offbyone Ooh, cautiously pleased [not read the linked doc yet]. Afaict though, #Medicare coverage, were it even to be offered for the myriad medical & surgical procedures necessary for one's #transition, would be severely limited or even impossible, without a commensurate increase in safe skilled experienced medical professionals in Straya to actually perform said procedures. When i transitioned in the early Oughties, my decision for Thai surgeries was because of a severe lack of local surgeons at all, & the few available used obsolete techniques that i certainly eschewed. Is the situation better today?

Queensland’s puberty blockers ban has potential to cause harm, sex discrimination commissioner says

theguardian.com/australia-news

Potential? Potential? JFC, it is a certainty that much harm will come from this. Not necessarily only, but at least:

  • all these trans kids will now be forced to undergo puberty into a locked-in wrong body
  • some of those kids won't survive it, they will suicide to avoid the GD pain
  • many will thence be condemned to lives of misery & shame, trying to endure existence in a body alien to them
  • some of them as adults might somehow eventually find the financial means for all the expensive painful surgical procedures necessary, cognisant of the fact that for many, their hated physiology locked-in by the wrong puberty cannot be fully surgically corrected
