No debate! Be kind.

'Cis' is ideological language, signifying belief in the unfalsifiable concept of gender identity.

Anyone who refuses to believe that women can become men, and women men, is called hateful and must be silenced. It’s a very strange experience to be called “hateful” when all you’re doing is trying to protect human rights.

It doesn't make me popular, but this is why I speak up on gender-identity ideology
Six years ago, I was working as a journalist at The Economist. One fateful day, the editor-in-chief asked me: “Why do kids keep coming home and saying ‘such and such is trans’?” I replied that...

A MAN'S WORLD? A fascinating polisky analysis of more than 4,000 policies in 43 countries revealing clear and robust evidence that women’s policy preferences are underrepresented compared to those of men. Gender inequality extends to policy representation www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Wenn Linke sich in Machterhalt üben, dann bekommt man dieses Problem: Das Label rechts wird genutzt um zu diskreditieren. Durch die Verschmälerung des Diskurses entsteht ein Hohlraum, den Gegner demokratischer Inhalte nur füllen müssen und ganz leicht können.

Breaking: States that are aggressively bad at women's health care are bad at health care because they’re the same thing
Many states with abortion bans are also states with a larger share of patients with chronic health conditions. The states with some of the highest rates of diabetes among women, for example, also ban abortion.
As Abortion Access Shrinks, Hospitals Fill in the Gaps
Hospitals are playing a growing role in abortion access, as pregnant women with certain health issues travel to seek care that clinics can’t provide.

Facts of life:

1) No person who has ever lived has been born in the 'wrong' body. People are their bodies;

2) 'Medically transition' means superficial cosmetic surgery & harmful wrong-sex hormones. It does not change a person's sex.

I agree it's unethical to require people to sterilize themselves to legally change their 'sex.' The way out of this is for governments to say: We're not going to falsify your sex, no matter what you do.

The really perverse thing about trans/queer activism is that it presents itself as tolerant, diverse and progressive, when in fact it acts intolerant, simple-minded and regressive.

Das eigentlich Perverse an dem trans/queeren Aktivismus ist, dass er sich als tolerant, vielfältig und progressiv darstellt, obwohl er tatsächlich intolerant, einfältig und regressiv agiert.

Somewhere women's studies changed into gender studies and presto:

“Ideologue professors at our leading universities indoctrinate impressionable undergraduates with carelessly fact-free theories alleging that gender is an arbitrary, oppressive fiction with no basis in biology.”

Pronouns aren't preferred if not using them comes with the threat of criminal conviction.

It's the very definition of authoritarian enforced speech.

Anyone who intends to criminalise telling the truth should never be given the reigns of power.

" 'Cis' is ideological language, signifying belief in the unfalsifiable concept of gender identity. You have a perfect right to believe in unprovable essences that may or may not match the sexed body, but the rest of us have a right to disagree, and to refuse to adopt your jargon."

It makes me sad when I see people who regard themselves as socially progressive using personal pronouns.

Imagine believing that voluntarily opting into a system (gender identity) that is rooted in regressive patriarchal gender constructs is progressive.

How is it that they don't realize this?!

Dr Hilary Cass's interim report into children's gender services highlighted "gaps in evidence" around the drugs, and a systematic review carried out by NICE found the quality of the evidence for the use of puberty blockers in this context to be "very low".
Children on puberty blockers saw mental health change - BBC News
New analysis finds most children had a significant change in their mental health while on the drugs.

"Hormone therapy can leave a child or adolescent with irreversible effects if they change their mind (detransition or desist) — e.g., lower voice, male pattern hair, and enlarged clitoris in transmasculine youth; breast development in transfeminine youth; difficulties with having children in some"

What is a woman? Here’s how I would have answered the question had Walsh asked me. A woman is a human being whose reproductive system is ordered toward mothering. And here’s a bonus. A man is a human being whose reproductive system is ordered toward fathering.
