"pointing at the approaching meteorite, only to have everyone stare at my finger."
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. I'm using that!

Such an apt metaphor. I was genuinely surprised just how much cognitive dissonance people were primed with when I was peaking and sharing my discoveries with them.

This is a great article, thank you. I love Graham Linehan. I'm sure he's not perfect (who is? Apart from maybe JK Rowling LOL) and I'm sure there are two sides to the story of what happened to his marriage. But I still see him as one of the only (the only?) men who has stood up for women and lifted up their voices in this mess, at great personal cost to himself.
Also he's a terrific writer.
I decided to use my platform on Twitter to bring attention to what seemed to be an all-out assault on women, on their words, their dignity and their safety. Also, I saw that vulnerable children were being fast-tracked onto a medical pathway that carried severe long-term implications
If you believe that JK Rowling is transphobic, a woman who has devoted her work and much of her fortune to the vulnerable, the bullied, the forgotten and the abused, then you are under a spell.
If you believe that men can fairly compete against women in their sports, then you are under a spell.
If you believe that men will not go to the most extreme lengths to gain access to women and children, then you are under a spell.
If you believe that children as young as three years old can agree to a procedure that puts them on a medical pathway for life, that arrests their natural puberty, and that has almost no scientific proof as to its efficacy as a treatment for dysphoria, then you are under a spell.
It really is as though huge sections of society have been put under some kind of spell, like in a fairy tale. I wonder if there will be enough denial to go around when people finally wake up and realise what they're done.

I wish it was, but it’s going to take a heck of a lot more than the Cass review.
It’s particularly dire in Australia. The gender ideologists are doubling down, claiming the Cass review has “nothing” to do with us “our health system is different,” they insist. Bullshit.
Meanwhile they’re character assassinating, cancelling (and even suing) any woman who dares to question the trans narrative: Sall Grover, Moira Deeming, Katherine Deves, Jessica Hoyle, Rachael Wong, Kirralie Smith, Linda Gale, Margot Oliver, Linda McCarthy, Sue Clarke, Jasmine Sussex and the 6 other breastfeeding counsellors, the list goes on…

It’s going to be years before this is truly “over” but I think it’s encouraging that more people are waking up and saying “hey the emperor is naked, guys!”
I think the scales are falling from the public’s eyes. And they are the majority after all.

We tend to be behind the curve in Australia.
But take heart. Look at that list. Also you are here, I am here. All we can do is get up and fight another day.
It gives me the shits that we have to do this. But needs must.

I mean, It was an easy prediction to fall,
When you create any group off loose foundational values, and then choose to run with said values,
It's only a matter of time before people lose faith in word of mouth, and choose to go digging around looking for receipts.
We've gotten to this point, and I have yet to see any prime representation from the T actually establishing what being trans is..?
Is it medical? If so, it needs to be addressed and handled accordingly by the medical professionals trained to recognize it (and no, I'm not talking the current method that smacks you with hormones' the minute you feel a waft of femininity),
Or,
Is it subjectively defined? Meaning you basically exploit tax-paying dollars off verbal say-so, get access to ALL woman-only spaces and can indefinitely bully actual women out of it by representing yourself as an oppressed* (are they, though?) class.
Since that question alone cannot be verified, all else past that. The questions, the demands, the expectations, cannot really be justified.
They're going to lose. But, they'll damage everything they can before they go. Kicking and screaming like the oversized man-toddlers they present themselves as.
I look forward to the theatrics, but worry for the ruins they'll leave the community in

I thought it was already established that its a religion, that you are born with a gendered soul and then its up to you if you want to make your body match it or not and society has to go along with it.
I don't think it will completely collapse, Scientology hasn't and thats just as big a pile of bullshit.

I love the wording of the headline here.
Rowling must have cast Finite Incantatem!😁
Do not forgive.
Do not forget.
