FFS. I do healthcare work in people’s homes and have done throughout the pandemic. Like most key workers across public services and in retail, most of my workmates are women. When they finish their shift, which for about half of them is the sole income in their household, they go back to their second unpaid job, caring for their kids or parents or both. Hoping they haven’t brought covid home with them.

People doing the same job as us have been threatened and assaulted locally, targeted for wearing healthcare uniform or PPE outside. All victims female. All perps male. That’s the story, not a drama teacher sitting safe at home behind a fucking laptop.

Statement from Keira Bell:

...this fight is not yet over. I would like to personally call on professionals and clinicians to create better mental health services and models to help those dealing with gender dysphoria to reconcile with their sex. And furthermore I call on society to accept those who do not conform to sex stereotypes, not to push them into a life of drugs and concealment from who they truly are. This means stopping the homophobia, the misogyny and the bullying of those that are different.

Today I am delighted to see that common sense has prevailed and to see a reinstatement of safeguarding for children.

Standing on Keira's left is Susan Evans, the original claimant in this case, who worked as a psychotherapist at the Tavistock clinic. Apart from everything else she, Keira and Mrs A have achieved today, they've also won vindication for the many GIDS staff who have tried to express their concerns for over a decade now, often finding they had no choice but to resign.

Rosie Duffield made a historic speech drawing on her own experience of coercive control and domestic violence, which got international press coverage. Returning to the subject this year she branded domestic abusers as misogynist cowards. Now packs of them have made her life and job impossible. We know what she’s up against. Has she surrendered, or reached the limits of what she and her family can endure personally? Does she have credible intelligence that her safety is at risk?

I believe that the creepoids targeting her for abuse have selected her because they know she has been abused before. We know how they think, how they select victims. “She must have deserved it before, she deserves it now.”

We see this. The public sees it too.

Autistics are excellent bullshit detectors.

The inability to maintain hidden agendas enables autistic people to develop and maintain trusted relationships and very effective long term collaborations, but this ability is crippled in psychologically unsafe environments, and it makes autistic people dangerous from the perspective of anyone who is seeking to maintain and enhance their social status...

It looks like North Wales police have decided to sacrifice one member of a minority to appear inclusive of another. Grimly ironic since Freel is a diversity & inclusion poster-child for the force.

I’ve always felt that if I ever need a police officer and a trans officer appears, I am going to be frightened of what might come out of my mouth. Or that the officer might take offence at my unusual eye contact. Or that they will interpret my speech and body language as prejudiced, and a free ride to the police station will result. This case reinforces my previous conclusion: don’t call police. Just what black people have to deal with every day, but now reinforced by a police force wanting to look woke.

This local news report on the court case says that Freel had known of the defendant for 12 years (denied by Armstrong). If they knew each other he would have seen Freel transitioning. Maybe Armstrong has always had in his head the question he shouted about Freel, and being autistic was unable to suppress it. When something’s bothering us, autistic people may need to think out loud, possibly repetitively. We might do this at high volume, since it’s possible we don’t have fine control over our voices or give a shit about what other people think is appropriate for the situation.

New Zealand's decriminalisation works very well because the reform was led by sex workers.

Yeah, sounds like it:

"I thought it would give more power and rights to the women," she says. "But I soon realised the opposite was true." One problem was that it allowed brothel owners to offer punters an "all-inclusive" deal, whereby they would pay a set amount to do anything they wanted with a woman. "One thing we were promised would not happen was the 'all-inclusive'," says Valisce. "Because that would mean the women wouldn't be able to set the price or determine which sexual services they offered or refused - which was the mainstay of decriminalisation and its supposed benefits."

My SO was stalked by a man she'd dated for a few months decades ago. Motivated by some sort of midlife crisis he worked out which (small) town she lived in from social media posts and then created reasons to be in that town often, despite living a hundred miles away with his wife, and not owning a car.

He then worked out which building she lived in, either by loitering until he spotted her and/or by looking at background details of photos she'd posted (she was careful not to post photos identifying her location directly). She's still not sure which.

The first she knew of it was when he appeared at her building's street door with an armful of gifts. Cops were informed and handed him an official harassment warning. He's not tried anything since, but he still sometimes posts drawings of her on his social media, so she has to watch him. Luckily he is a pitiful narcissist, so supplies her with plenty of info.

Good timing, this issue came up in another thread recently. One thing I noticed about this study is that though the datasets analysed are large, they still suffer from the old problem of self-selection and self-reporting. The primary dataset (Channel 4) is of survey responses from people who watched or heard about a TV programme on autism in 2017. It relies on self-reporting of autistic status. Even assuming the self-reporting is entirely accurate (before diagnosis, I would have self-reported my autism status incorrectly) this is unlikely to be a representative sample of the population, so the results cannot be safely generalised (but they will be by journalists with no knowledge of statistics or how to read a study). The authors acknowledge that this is a problem but brush it aside, repeating that their datasets are large, and citing studies also finding a genderspecial/autistic-traits link but relying on parent- and teacher-reporting of autism status. But parents and teachers are not usually clinical psychologists specialising in autism, a condition we are still just finding the outlines of and about which there are many misconceptions. Just ask any autistic how many people have told them “You don’t look autistic”, or “We’re all a little bit autistic”.

The main problem is that the authors accept the concept of gender identity uncritically. I don’t have a gender identity: there is no mini-me of any gender sitting in my head working the controls. Nevertheless, I would have been shoehorned into the cisgender male category of the main dataset, because I would have stated my sex as male [edit: given my current gender skepticism].

A couple of great comments, from the same person:

I think it [“non-binary”] refers to what you feel yourself to be, because how you feel doesn't alter the sex that you are.

And:

Why should you think you were gay because of what other people say to you? Whether you're gay or not depends on the sex of the people you fall in love with. I suppose if people keep on saying to say, "You're gay, you're gay," you might wonder about that and test yourself, but the crucial thing, the thing that settles it, is the direction of your attraction.

Would it not be helpful if the powers-that-be (for the 'LGBT' initialism does seem to have got itself established in the public sphere, so that even Westminster puts out a report on 'LGBT Health Needs') stopped treating being gay and being trans as though they were sort of basically the same? That might enable people like Paeton to understand themselves more readily.

My mistake was explaining my other beliefs when asked.

You did not explain your position on gender, in a sub called “gendercritical” (not “transcritical”). For example, when just_lesbian_things wrote:

If you think there's more to being a woman than basic biology; if you believe in gender roles or other ridiculous gender propaganda then you're no different than the crazy trans males you claim to be against.

...you could have set out your views on gender. But you didn’t, so don’t blame the group for reaching the obvious conclusion that you are no different from conservative men in general.

Both the article (on treatment of gender reassignment in UK law) and the following discussion are illuminating. This is from a comment by the author:

... single sex spaces are a matter of consent. A woman who uses a women-only changing room consents to be in a state of undress in the company of other women. If that space is invaded by a person with a male body, her consent is overriden. She is likely to find that upsetting and humiliating, and reasonably so. Taboos about modesty are deeply-felt.

What some male commentators on this subject fail to grasp is what a rigorous training in fear women receive from an early age. We are taught that men are a source of danger. We are told it is our responsibility to keep ourselves safe from the ever-present risk of male violence. We learn to limit our freedoms. We try not to be out alone late at night. We learn to be alert to the possibility of being followed; not to make eye contact; to shut down drunken attempts to chat us up without provoking male rage; to walk in the middle of the road so that it’s harder to ambush us from the shadows; to conduct a lightning risk assessment of every other passenger on the night bus; to clutch our keys in one hand in case we need a weapon; to carry a pepper spray, or a personal alarm.

We are systematically trained in fear.

And then we are told that we must lay aside the fears we have obediently learned at a moment’s notice if a person with a male body asserts a female identity. Well, fear doesn’t work like that.

No email address is needed to open a Saidit account. This is poor advice. Tor is not impregnable. Using it naively is asking for trouble, and taking countermeasures before assessing threats is risking either security blind spots, or wasted effort/inconvenience: probably both.

There is a process called threat modelling which we have probably all done intuitively and which should be applied deliberately to our online presence. The idea is to prioritise privacy threats by likelihood or hazardousness. In a nutshell:

What do I want to keep secret? Real identity? Location? Occupation? Account passwords?
Who wants to know my secrets? TRA on Twitter? Stalker? Government agency?
What resources do they have? My public tweets and lots of spare time? Public property records? The ability to hack a web server where I have an account? Court-ordered access to web server or ISP records?
How much effort are they likely to go to? Comb through old tweets? Hang around where I live? Develop a custom exploit and try spearphishing me? Dedicate a team of full-time agents to apprehending me?
What are the consequences for me and others if they succeed? Lose an important social media profile? Forced relocation? Career damage? Prosecution? Death?
What can I do to stop them? Guard what I say online to prevent accidentally giving away biographical or location details? Make social media profiles as private as possible? Learn to use more technical measures like Tor? Buy a gun and learn to shoot?
Have I done a good enough job? Have I been doxxed, correctly or incorrectly? Have I been hauled in by HR for wrongthink? Am I being stalked?

Everyone will have a different threat model, if only because differing information about us is already public, so it's important to sit down, do this for yourself, and review it regularly. It should be clear that there is no magic solution.

Let’s take your case of a would-be Saidit user worried about being doxxed. This is much more likely to happen because of

what they post on Saidit
what they post or have posted elsewhere if it can be linked to what they post on Saidit, e.g same username

I cannot emphasise this enough: doxxing is made much easier by lack of caution.

It’s rare that doxxing is achieved by discovering an IP address. That would be little use unless the victim’s ISP gives up the subscriber info for that IP address. Which means the adversary got either legal or covert access to the ISP’s records. They would also need similar access to Saidit’s servers to discover the IP address in the first place. This is much less likely than getting doxxed by someone who put together public information. Giving out naive security advice like ‘use Tor’ is just stupid. Please stop doing it. It does nothing on its own to prevent doxxing.

Autism is mentioned a couple of times in this thread, with a link to transgenderism implied or stated. The idea that autistic brains are more male is unfortunately popular because it gives existing prejudices a sciency sheen. "Women like talking, because ladybrain. Men like doing, because manbrain. Male-brained man said so. Has big forehead. Must be true."

The extreme male brain hypothesis comes from probably the most prominent autism researcher, Simon Baron-Cohen. It relies on the assumption that most autistics are male and its gender essentialism has been criticised:

Baron-Cohen is misled by an unpersuasive gendering of certain capacities or aptitudes in the human population.

Baron-Cohen and his team also conducted one of the largest studies into autism and gender dysphoria which claimed there is a link. However, it suffered from obvious selection bias: the participants were self-selecting Cambridge students. Many other studies also claiming to find the same link also suffer from weak methodology: small size, self-selecting, self-reporting, etc. I have not read the entire corpus of research in depth but the evidence for a link between autism and gender dysphoria looks unconvincing to me.

I'm an autistic male. It's precisely because I'm autistic that I see gender as a system of absurd and unjust rules. Autistics tend to have big problems when forced to do things that don't make sense. I have a feeling that what researchers see as gender dysphoria in autistic subjects may often simply be us doing our thing.

Whatever you think about TRAs in tech, please don't use 'autistic' as a synonym for 'asshole'.

Whichever wokebro posted that fails to understand the increased risk posed to him by covid, which couldn’t care less about its victims’ gender identity but which kills men roughly twice as effectively.

I don’t sympathise with the social constructs of either gender, because they are vehicles for the oppression of women. I don’t have a ‘gender identity’. Rather I have a sense based on observing its anatomy that my body is male, and that this has shaped most of my social existence since before I could talk. This gives me unearned privileges most of the time, and a fundamentally different experience of the world to that of females. It has also resulted in other males subjecting me to ostracism and physical violence when I fail to perform gender correctly. Basically, gender and its acolytes can fuck off.

Background

One regional UK police force, Nottinghamshire constabulary under chief constable Sue Fish, started recording misogyny as a hate crime in 2016. This is a 2016 article about early results:

Six things we've learned about misogyny as a hate crime

An interim report was released in 2018. From the press release:

People in Nottinghamshire will not tolerate misogyny hate crime and a policy introduced in 2016 is already shifting the attitudes of both victims and potential perpetrators, according to a new report. Over 87 per cent of people surveyed thought a policy change two years ago to make misogyny a hate crime in Nottinghamshire, was a good idea.

Predictably, men provided plenty of evidence that the initiative is necessary:

A woman who helped launch a police campaign to record misogyny as a hate crime has received hundreds of abusive messages. Melanie Jeffs said one person "threatened to put a machete" through the back of her head.

My report below: they ask us to report policy violations but do not include that as a category when asking for a reason for the report. Their policy prohibits sex discrimination.

Redefining ‘woman’ to include trans-identified males would allow them, plus any man with abusive motives who says the magic words ‘I am a woman’, into women’s single-sex spaces: changing rooms, toilets, rape shelters, prisons. In the UK, this would infringe the Equality Act 2010, which though it includes legal gender reassignment (not gender identity) as a protected characteristic, nevertheless guarantees women’s rights to single-sex services and spaces.

More generally, redefining ‘woman’ in this way prioritises a tiny minority over more than half of humanity. it takes away women’s rights to self-define and organise to change the problems they face because of their sex.

Therefore this petition breaks your rule against sex discrimination. Finally I note the petitioner did not ask for the definition of ‘man’ to be changed. this would not make the original petition somehow ok. It is a further indication of its sexism.

One day – while doing his own housework – Ma realised he wanted to better understand his mother. He gave her a blank notebook, and asked her to fill it with the unfiltered truth of her daily life. Less than a month later, she’d filled it with quotidian details, about her love life, her friends, her work; “at once a confession and letter to her son”, as Ma describes it.

“I knew she could be quite daring, so I can’t say I was surprised by what she wrote. However, the drama of middle-aged love was a lot more intense than I expected,” Ma says. “As time passed, though, I couldn’t help but be in awe of my mother, who’d written her story with such honesty at her son’s request.”

That is a good find. Shows that leading GCers like Julie Bindel have been facing the TRA saliva storm for more than a decade now. The article is by Jonathan Best, a gay musician and festival director. OP or mods, if you can would you consider altering the post's title to reflect that?

I wonder if the deletion had something to do with the thoughtcrime investigation his PhD institution, the University of Huddersfield, initiated against him in 2019. The complaint, that a student's genderspecialness was somehow endangered by Best's opinions, was thrown out. Here's a Mumsnet thread which quotes a tweet of his (the account is now deleted, by him or by Twitter I don't know):

The complaint against me at University of Huddersfield has been thrown out; there is no case for me to answer. However, the university has issued me with a formal warning because I went public with the details. I am appealing this sanction immediately.

Here is a news article featuring details of the complaint.

JB is now a staff member at Huddersfield, despite the TRAs' best efforts.

Dreary tradwifing edgelord temporarily banned from Reddit. Take a look at the Reddit & Saidit profiles. Needs to believe that ladybrain makes tradwifing the proper activity for women. Therefore Prof Rippon, like other women who say things that poster doesn't like, must be trans. Hence the weird jaw comment in line with similar comments on Reddit.

No, an opponent tweeted in reply that there are 16,000 barristers.

And rather than ask would/could they define sex, I'd rather ask whether they should, since biologists are the experts on that. Lawyers routinely consult experts on matters outside law. When asked, biologists can state the scientific consensus that sex is biological.

This thread’s title is misleading. Not the first time OP has pulled this shit.

Articles published on SciAm’s blogs subdomain are opinion pieces published in its Voices series. OP is misrepresenting the nature of this article in the same way TRAs do by presenting it as authoritative. If a first-year biology student submitted this work their professor would summon them to the office.

SciAm (a popular-science monthly), like Nature (a scholarly journal), are clearly doing this for woke clicks and to avoid woke drama but that is not the same as being under the thumb of a sinister TRA conspiracy. There’s no need to invoke conspiracies when market forces and editorial cowardice explain events sufficiently.

BTW SciAm devoted an entire issue to gender ideology in 2017. In July Margaret Atwood was embarrassingly taken in by it as well as the article this thread's about. She started tweeting about gay penguins and 'hermaphrodites'. Actual scientists had to point a few things out to her, and her comments didn't go down well with intersex people either.

I owe my lack of belief in gender to radical feminism’s critique of it. It is conceivable that had I never encountered radical feminism, I might have decided that my gender non-conformity was explained by the magical gender fairy showering me with the wrong glitter (or had it decided for me: this was 2017 when transing kids had been a thing for a good few years). In which case I’d have ticked the ‘transgender’ box in the Channel 4 survey. The authors have no way of knowing how many of those who did were just unable to convincingly satisfy other people’s insane expectations and then told the reason they couldn’t was they were born in the wrong body.
