It feels like certain NGOs and elites are trying to bring about a new Age of Faith. That faith is gender, which has no objective reality, no clear definition, no concensus on its existence, meaning or import, and yet is the premise for funding that runs into the hundreds of millions and legislation that promotes harm and destroys freedoms. People and institutions have completely lost their marbles. Even those in favour of this state of affairs must be able to foresee a day when this whole charade will collapse like a soap bubble.

Thanks, Hillary, as if we needed further proof that gender ideology is one of the banners of the worst kind of politician.

The 'decolonise FGM' lobby are uncomfortable with white women challenging the behaviour of black and Asian women who have their daughters' genitals cut. But if we take decolonisation to its logical conclusion, there can be no objection to FGM by white women at all.

The link you expose between genderwoo and surrogacy is critical: if we are just interchangeable bio-parts instead of whole human beings, what's the big deal about buying a woman's body and the baby she creates?

Most trans supporters are feminists. So much for feminism.

Re the Irish guy trying to raise money for his sex-imposter procedures: bonkers. Absolutely bonkers. And the final line of the article is gobsmacking — it is literally the opposite of everything he said in the rest of the article:

“I’m not really worried about it,” he shrugs. “I am just comfortable in my own skin.”

He’s clearly NOT comfortable in his own skin!!🤦‍♀️

The Norwegian press ethics agency did not find it unethical to call a man “a man”, even though they discussed the issue. They did, however, find it unethical to describe being trans as related to “delusions”, “mental ill health”, “men’s fetishes”, and “pornography-inspired misogyny”.

FRI, one of Norway’s queer organisations, itself talks about “mental ill health” and “fetishes” in its programme.

Thanks, will update. I was using a very early source before all details were out.

The exact text translated by chatgp: Stigmatising portrayal

In the committee’s view, the opinion piece that was the subject of the complaint contained generalising and derogatory claims in which trans people as a group were described as a product of, among other things, “delusions”, “mental ill health”, “men’s fetishes”, and “pornography-inspired misogyny”. The committee considers that reducing an entire group in this way to manifestations of pathologies, sexual deviations, and abuse constitutes a stigmatising portrayal that deprives the group of individual dignity, thereby raising concerns under VVP 4.3, which calls for respect for the uniqueness of the individual.

Pedos want dignity while preying on kids. Run that by me again?

Hm, interesting name, Pichal. In Czech, "pichat" is one of the words translating as "to fuck". Pichal means "he fucked." Concidence?

Róisín Michaux's avatar

there are no coincidences

"That’s kind of paedophilia’s whole thing, in case you hadn’t noticed: entice kids to talk about and think about sexuality. That’s what grooming means (some of you don’t spend hours lurking in paedophile activist forums and it shows)."

Years ago, i witnessed a major US city's "Youth Pride" event.

This turned out to be a knot of teenage boys and a couple of girls huddled together, swarmed and surrounded by easily ten times their number of aggressively horny middle aged gay men, most old enough to be the boys' fathers.
