Second person is totally spam! It's lubricated! Well, I'm phasing.

Nah, I think it’s actually Julie Burchill, iirc she’s been feuding with Laurie Penny for a while.

Woosh?

Really, I need to follow that one then.

I figure she'd have used her actual account if it were Burchill. The name's probably just a joke about how there are a few Julie B's in the same space

Ah yes, you might be right. I just saw Julie B, and presumed, just after reading her article in which she mentions being confused for other Julie Bs too! D’oh!

Lmao that second reply is so hilarious. xd

This is how it feels while reading anything written by wokies. A confusing, meaningless word salad.

    Jesus, I didn't understand a single word from this.

    The second reply got me laughing man. That's exactly what happens when words are stripped of meaning.

    Laurie Penny, if ever you need to know the wrong side of the argument you just have to look at whatever she’s arguing in favour of. I don’t think she’s ever been right.

    I don’t think she’s ever been right.

    We'd better hope she never decides that she was wrong about all the stuff she's said before, the resulting paradox would probably fold us all up in a little square an inch across.

    Owen Jones and Laurie Penny are two people you can comfortably predict will have the entirely wrong answer to any question. In fact, if either one of them told me it was raining I’d be looking to get a third party confirmation of it.

    It's the nature of such people to change their politics depending on whatever way the wind's bowing.

    The problem is that they expect you to keep treating the word as if it had the previous meaning. "Woman" and "man" now refer to gender identity rather than biological sex? Great. Now let's just call the next women's weightlifting event the female weightlifting event, change all the bathroom signs from men's and women's to male and female, etc. But they wouldn't like that. We really need to fight back against these manipulative word games.

    Yep. It's similar to the Motte-and-bailey fallacy. They're not just redefining words, they're trying to appropriate the words' significance by alternately using both definitions.

    Laurie Penny is one of a number of transactivists of some stature - like India Willoughby - who have gone full retard. I don't know if they're just desperately afraid of being 'cancelled' by gender activists, so they say crazy things - or if they're consciously trolling. It's hard to tell anymore.

    Only problem being that - as "What is a Woman?" showed pretty clearly - none of the idiots who believe in an expanded definition of "woman" can define it without using the word "woman".

    Tawdrily birthday! Incorporating the very quantities of the science-fiction fans against them.

    I hate these people, but not because I'm a bigot. Not unless hating insufferably stupid people that spout their navel-gazing nonsense is considered bigoted now.
