UK uni lecturer accused of posting "transphobic" tweets. He posted "transwomen are not women" “women menstruate men do not” “a man cannot give birth” - Now the university is investigating his tweets. A university is investigating tweets stating basic biology. Is it the 21st century or the 16th?

What until the QAnon cultists realize that gender ideology actually does advocate for keeping kids in a suspended state of puberty as their breasts and genitalia are chopped off.

Also that the idea that kids can consent to transitioning will be used to claim that kids can consent to sex.

Caught between the Crazies of the Left and the Crazies of the Right, we might be doomed.

Yes, it's bizarre how extremism has managed to take over both sides. And I can see this tendency across the globe, especially in countries that generally have two main political parties.

You'd expect the average person to be put off by the extremism of either party, but if we look at what history has to teach us about that, I guess it's not so absurd.

I still hold hope there will be push back, as you mentioned in your other comment. Although, if it's just pushing back against the extremism of the liberals, to then choose the extremism of the conservatives, it's bleak. Like a never ending, miserable cycle.

I used to have to pay attention to global events for my job, and sometimes predict what would happen next, plus I'm relatively old, so I predicted some of this polarization.

I think what's happened is that there's a big disconnect between what politicians and the media are telling us is for our benefit and the actual outcomes of what they push on us, and that leads to resentment and eventually rebellion against the status quo.

And then there's the internet, where you can easily find like-minded people, and also get sucked into whacky ideologies, like gender ideology, and, then, surrounded by an echo chamber, you lose your ability to think critically and rationally.

So I think I shouldn't be surprised that normally liberal people, including gender critical people, because of their disgust at all the baloney "the Left" is pushing on us, are whole-heartedly embracing the conservatives. It seems like there's no middle ground any more, just extremes. And that doesn't bode well for our future.

Great. In a couple weeks now I expect to hear that QAnon is now claiming transgenderism is what they were talking about the whole time.

I think that would kind of be great - tens of millions of Americans with Q flags waving, would storm the Capitol to stop the Equality Act - wonder how we get in touch with Q? ;-)

Heh, I mean at least it'd be accurate!

Yeah - I hope the Q crazies take on the T movement. Battle of the nutcases.

I'm a bit worried about the women's march coming up. https://womenpicketdc.org/ If they were there to accuse Donald Trump of this and that, I can see Pelosi having the police escort them on in. Now that Pelosi & Pals have put up barbed wire ("Peasants with petitions stay out!" is what it screams to me; NOT "we're afraid for our safety.") -- will it be a tiny turnout and just be ignored? Will they be able to get anywhere near those in power?

Or worse, will these women be branded "terrorists" or accused of "trampling on trans rights"?

I am most interested to see the reaction they get. If I had to bet money, I'd say they'll be ignored. If they get any media coverage at all, will there be any attempt to tell the women's side, or will the story be hijacked by TRA? And will ANY House member who voted for the Erasure of Women Act make any public comments?

I saw an update that said that there's going to be at least a few hundred women there.

I'm sure the leftwing media and politicians will ignore them, but thanks to Kara Dansky, the Women's Human Rights Campaign US spokewomen who is on Tucker Carlson's Fox News show a lot, I think some of the conservative media might cover the protest.

Oh! I didn't know she was on Tucker's show a lot! wow! I wonder can I find any clips online? I'm sure many have posted links before and I never looked. Catching up now! This is great!

Oh wow, 4 years ago she was there even! About Obama's bathroom bill in Feb 2017 https://youtu.be/K7NPhGYM0WA

On Biden's EO in January: https://youtu.be/0FZ7HFMJGdQ She's great. Tucker lets her talk too. And she gives the 11th Hour Blog address! Why are there so few signatures here? https://womensdeclaration.com/en/ 15,000? It should be 15 MILLION by now.
