I love his HBO show, SUCCESSION. I don't mind that none of the characters are likeable. Cox is amazing, and Cousin Greg is hilarious.

Her views on gender are OUTSPOKEN because she believes women menstruate?!?!?

They're also, according to the media "controversial."

It's gone from "I just wanna pee" to "If you believe that only women menstruate you deserve to be disemboweled" in what? Five years?

Is it that long? Feels like it's just the last year or so, but perhaps I only started noticing it then.

The Yogyakarta Principles, the master plan of gender activism, were written in 2007 - since then Trans, Inc. have, very stealthily, implemented gender ideology into all facets of life and law in many, many countries.

I have a longtime, but not super-close, friend who married a TiF in 2008 and went full-on transconverted after that. I don't actually think it was her partner who radicalized her, but she was the first person I heard the "we just need to pee" line from and if that were ALL, it wouldn't be a big deal to me. But abusers tend to escalate. Which is sad because she never used to be like that.

Yeah, but it doesn't stop at bathrooms and even if it did, in the US, bathroom stalls don't go from floor to ceiling and there are gaps in the doors themselves, so the person inside is easily visible.

But even if they were ceiling to floor stalls, the legal presence of males in bathrooms is dangerous in itself - what's to stop a man from pushing you into the secure cubicle and raping you?

If anything, US bathrooms are slightly safer because another woman could come in and see the sexual assault taking place, whereas in a completely enclosed cubicle they wouldn't.

Beyond that, give trans demands activists and inch and they take a mile.

And beyond that, I and many, many other women, do not want to disrobe in the presence of men. Why can't lawmakers get that?

The same lawmakers who banged on about #MeToo not what - three years ago? Are now onboard with rape victims having to endure an erect male in their gym showers.

Fucking politicians.

Our dignity and our privacy and our safety are not negotiable.

Even the word female is now a "dogwhistle."

From Are women still persons? when sex based feminism becomes verboten

Feminism has now become morally reprehensible to the woke wahhabist left, which, in its jacobin style, has powerful corporate and political backing—misogyny has reached such a peak that the words ‘female human’ trigger a storm of nasty reaction from trans activists, who insist it’s nothing but a common anti-trans dogwhistle to invalidate trans women’s existence. In fact, one book reviewer recently received a directive to stop using the word ‘female’ in her reviews, apparently the word female has pejorative connotations—of course, this is woke code for ‘excludes trans people’. Anyone deemed invalidating to the trans narrative automatically becomes anti trans.

What a relief. I love him in Succession, which is one of my all time favourite shows.
