I was one of my local Scouts first intake of girls. It was the 90’s. I can’t believe (well, actually I can) how far backwards anti-trans obsessives want to take us.

Considering Streeting's well stated belief autism, ADHD etc, along with mental health issues, are "overdiagnosed", I won't hold my breath for this doing anything other than being used to cut support, along with opportunities for diagnosis, for people who need it. #r4today

One thing I always want to ask these masculinity entrepreneurs is why men can’t look to women as role models, and can’t see in women models of human virtue and thriving that are worth emulating. After all, women look to men for these all the time.
Sure, Galloway is better than Peterson
But he still believes the natural order of things requires men to be supreme. Men must protect, provide and procreate. It's dressed in progressive language, but it's fundamentally a patriarchal box to trap men in

i love this point bc it really is so absurd that so much of transmisogyny is predicated on protecting girls from the violence of boys so one would think that actively encouraging boys to view girls as their peers and confidants would be good. and yet
very funny to me that both liberal and radical feminist legal policy are complete and utter failures of projects because in response to a situation where "boys" want to play with girls and associate with girls the response by the state is to ban this to ensure it's either become a patriarch or die
