This just utterly stupid.

Why there is "men" too, if there already "people"? Aren't "men" already in "people", like "women" are? And if specifying men, then why not specifying women too?

Men "deserve" a name.

Women however do not. Because ostensibly there could be "transmen" among them who could get pregnant.

TIFs are hurting women by being pawns in this situation. TIFs are the enablers, the receptors on which this particularly harmful notion intruded, and they are the trojan plaintiffs who bring 90 percent of those school suits, because everyone including you TIFs think you're just a girl trying to use the boy's room. Doesn't carry the same amount of moral hazard.

Marie Stopes is an international organization dedicated to women's reproductive health, yet this is what their Australian branch posted on social media.

Maybe we should all just call ourselves "men with uteruses" next time we lobby politicians for abortion rights? You know politicians won't listen to women about abortion, but maybe they'll listen to "men"...:

Marie Stopes Australia " Abortion is a sexual and reproductive health service that many people may access, and it’s important that we destigmatise those who may decide to seek an abortion. From men with uteruses, to people who already have children - the list of people who may have abortions is endless."

If I were a child being brought up today I'd be so fucking confused. I would think that there are actual men who are born with uteruses. How isn't that confusing?

There's a lot of credible speculation that that's the whole point - to disassociate us from our biological sex, our bodies and from reality in general

Read Jennifer Bilek's twitter and blog - she's a GC feminist who has done extensive research on the money, the power and the players of Trans, Inc.

They've retracted it and apologized.

I've never seen that before. I wonder if the tide is turning. For a long time they battled the Facebook comments with the usual shit - "you're bigots!" "TERFS!" "you'll be kicked off the page for being hateful!" This made the women even more upset because Marie Stopes basically admitted that the word 'woman' was hate speech. Marie Stopes bleated that they were being 'inclusive' but that blatant lie didn't work because 'man' was a fine word to use, but not 'woman' - in the context of fucking abortion. They then had a huff and said they weren't moderating the page anymore because it was full of nasty meanies. Then they had a think about it and apologised. Women...we absolutely HAVE to counter this garbage vociferously whenever we see it. Do not let up. Complain, complain, complain. If we give them an inch they take a mile.We have to combat at every step the toxic idea that talking about women is somehow exclusive or hateful or inappropriate.

Yes!!!!!!

Every single time we see an organization or a politician or a celebrity or... mouth gender garbage we need to descend en masse upon their social media and set them straight.

Even just a few months ago, a horde of trans demands activists would terrorize GC Twitter with threats and their usual nonsense, but now I see the TERF Brigade is up and running with GC fierceness and really making a difference in getting corporations at least to back down.

So, let's do it. Let's make our voices heard on social media.

And Tell a "Friend" every time you can. I Peak Transed a receptionist today. By the end of it, she was ready to march on DC to save women's sports.

100%. We just have to push back as hard as they are. We're the sane people who are in the right and the majority of people out there are on our side. No, most people aren't radfems, but most people are not completely and totally fucking insane. That's all we need. We need to bring this nonsense to the attention of the sane majority. Almost everyone I meet is totally exhausted from having their language policed to the point of unreality. They are sick and tired of being told what horrible people they are because they don't give a shit about getting some insane person's pronouns right.

And we also have to tell EVERYONE about the gender laws passed and pending - laws that, for instance in the US, would force women to be searched at the airport by a TIM if the TIM were a "female" TSA agent.

There is just about no one who truly believes that a woman should forcibly have to have her intimate places touched by a male, much less a male stranger.

So Tell A Friend about what is really happening - and by Friend I mean anyone. Try to do it once a day. Online or in person.

I Peak Transed a receptionist yesterday. An elderly neighbor a few days ago.

Most people are starting to realize that something really sinister is going on, so let's Peak Trans them.

Tell a Friend, before it's too late.

I peak transed my aunt yesterday simply by telling her the facts of what is going on. This is just not something that is on her radar, even though she is really into politics. The thing that blew her mind was when she said that drag shows are still harmless, and I told her they were modern-day minstrel shows mocking women instead of black people. She looked shocked and then completely agreed with me. She had internalized so much misogyny in her life that it never even crossed her mind that men in drag is misogyny.

You know, I would rather have a "regular" man search me than a TIM. You at least have the hope that a "regular" man is not a filthy pervert, but you know for SURE that the TIM patting you down only wanted the job for that reason, and that reason alone. There is going to be a major backlash against this when women are gate-raped by TIMs while going through airport security. Soon, very soon, everyone will peak that the transgender movement is just a male rape movement and nothing more. This whole "muh identity" thing is a game they are playing to get access to women and girls (since most are also obvious pedophiles).

But that's my point in saying Tell A Friend TODAY, because, in the US, once the Equality Act is signed into law, we women will have no choice if we want to fly but to face the risk of being body searched by a male "female" TSA agent.

Once the laws are passed it will be too late, WE NEED TO SCREAM right now. TODAY.

Great about your aunt. In my experience, most older women haven't thought about it, but once I tell them, they get it immediately.

Please everyone, TELL A FRIEND.

Men are misogynist colonizers and the co-opting and destruction of the words we use to define ourselves is deliberate.
