Visiting London this week from insane California, I was surprised to see how many shared bathroom facilities there were. A man was waiting in Starbucks for me to put in the door code, barged in aggressively and sat in the stall next to mine. I felt uncomfortable and unsafe, yet it’s hateful for me to point that out. My husband also felt uncomfortable sharing a bathroom with women, like any normal man he understands it’s not appropriate.
Enabling some dignity in our lives helps us to thrive and be productive in a broad spectrum of ways. This toilet policy is grossly undignified for us all.
OMG Orwell really missed his moment, didn't he? I would say you can't make this shit up, except he did. But his writing is found in the fiction section of the library, not the bit that contains books of facts that are true. The sheer gall of those who claim that a belief in biology is "violence" towards the fantasists and fetishists who are pushing the delusional thinking that allows this to escape the padded room where it belongs. Words do matter, but using them to make sense is important too. https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/sticks-and-stone-can-break-my-bones
Women’s greatest protection has always come from men, who protect them from other men. There are good men. In my experience and general observation through life most men are decent and kind. When the Titanic went down it was men who stood on the decks and assisted women and children into the lifeboats. They stayed behind while the ship sank.
Yes, there are bad men, weak men, evil men, and those of us who would put women’s and children’s safety before ours are disgusted and ashamed of them.
Have you never heard of what happens to child molesters in prison? Even hardened criminals turn against them.
I was brought up by by mum and grandma to never sit on a bus or train while a woman stood. No debate. I also remember seeing standing men tell young fellas to stand and give up their seat when a woman got on the tram and there were no seats.
This would have been in the immediate post WW II years.
There have always been good men.
There still are.
So far as the trans activists are concerned, this will not end well for them.
Can't wait for the day when a convicted paedophile decides on the spot that he identifies as a preschooler, and uses his human rights to get access to a kindergarten!
Perish the thought. However, if it does happen, I expect NZ's mainstream media will either be very quiet about it, or bury a news item about it deep with its' bowels amongst the plethora of other news items not deemed 'headliners'.
There are, unfortunately, already men (and some misguided women such as Allyn Walker) prepared to push for the recognition of "trans age" identities within academia as part of their push to normalise paedophilia. This has been written about by Diana Shaw of Women Are Human dot com.
Make no mistake, there is a years-old and concerted push towards legalising child sexual abuse and it is coming from within the trans movement. I won't be surprised to hear about more politicians and "activists" of the same ilk as Leigh Finke of Minnesota and Scott Weiner of California agitating for such depravity to be mainstreamed in the near future. We must be prepared to speak out against this, no matter what nasty names we are called by the supposedly progressive.
Yes - if it can be accepted that children can make decisions about taking puberty blockers and wrong-sex hormones at a young age, it's as clear as a bell that progressing that to 'consenting' to sex at a young age is absolutely, and without a shadow of doubt, the next step.
That there remains a month yet before the amended Births, Deaths etc legislation is due to be in force, is farcical, as since it was mooted and proposed in bill form government departments, from education to the 'justice' and court system, as well as local bodies have been implementing the selective promoting of trans ideology whilst simultaneously erasing women and children's rights. And I do not just refer here to toilet facilities. It both puts in danger and demeans women, to have judges in our courts of law, refer to male violent offenders by their pernicious pronouns, to sentence them and allow their 'election' of 'women' status to privilege these males, by being incarcerated with women...for whose protection?
Delusional and violent males used to be put safely under The Mental Health Act... now they get to continue to terrify women (vulnerable ones in the prison system) against whom as a sex class, they have offended.
Yes, the 'de facto' implementation of sex self-ID has been well underway for some time. Twisting safety concerns around to make men who say they're women appear most 'vulnerable' group we have, is one of the most pernicious bureaucratic strategies I've ever seen.
Here are two links. Sometimes they don't work, so you may have to copy them into an internet browser.
1) At the bottom of this page under the title ' Questions about the implications of self-identification for service providers', it explains how a service provider can still provide a single-sex service after sex self-ID becomes law, if they want to.
2) On this page, it explains that there's no limit to how many times a person can change the sex recorded at their birth to either the opposite sex, a 'non-binary gender', or 'another gender'.
“This is not to say that no men can be trusted, because there are many men who are more trustworthy than many women, but that there are times when the most expedient and efficient way to keep women and children safe, and to enjoy some freedom, is to exclude the entire group of men irrespective of any special identity some may adopt. ‘
This! This is what people aren’t getting. Are the women giving away our rights, happy to allow all men into single-sex spaces? After all, not all men are predators. Or at least that’s their argument.
Kyle Tan works with Jack Burns in the Counting Ourselves project, which has no scientific credibility based at Waikato and is a trans identifying female to male from Malaysia.
to be fair the numbers counting them differently to the percentage of the population if you read carefully. They identify as women so they can go to a womans prison, not because they are really 'trans' or have gender dysphoria.
its says in the chart 92 out of 48K. then extrapolated it to millions, where as it's not out of millions its out of the prison population (that's the way I read it...am I correct?) The prison population is not representative of the population as a whole - they are deeply troubled and often anti-social, often brain injuried, drug harmed, alcoholics etc so will tend to exhibit 'unacceptable behaviours'. anyhoo, just thinking out aloud...thanks Tracy
I get what you're saying, however, I think it's normal to show the stats as a percentage of the population as a whole. Usually, they get broken down a bit further, as well, to give maybe a couple of snapshots of how the figures compare to the larger number.
Katrina, the violence against women was caused at least in part by the the PM and some senior Labour MPs and the Green MPs. Do you remember some time back women could not get a venue and it was David Seymour who invited them to Parliament. Women can make a difference by voting Act.
Yes, David Seymour has always stood up for free speech. He was the first MP to decry the way the trans activists' thuggery at Albert Park shut down the right for women to gather and speak. He didn't decry the violence, unfortunately, but at least he was quick to show that he stood by our right to speak, unlike just about every other MP. Their cowardice is not attractive, even if I know the place it comes from.
Is it possible to share that? If so, perhaps you could forward it to me by email. Depending on what the contents are, I may like to share it further - anonymously, of course :-)
he is also hysterically pro-vaccine and wants to take the benefit off you if you decline a vax for your children. Not much of a libertarian! I just posted the stop world control report on the UN sex ed paper just out, on the Outdoors & Freedom Party facebook page. some on going discussion, most of our supporters are 'anti' castration and breast mutilation and sex ed for 5 year olds, and those who are pro are just messaging me behind the scenes saying how horrible I am. So horrible I don't want children to be groomed, encouraged to be gay or cut their bits off? we have gays in our whanau so not homophobic, just believe that people come to it in their own time, it doesn't need to be taught.
One does have to wonder why anyone would want young kids to be getting the kind of sex and ‘gender’ education in the Ministry of Education’s guidelines. Primary school kids do not need it.
Sorry to hear about the nastiness that comes your way via the ‘back door’. One of the hardest things for we humans to do is create our own personal boundaries of behaviour, based purely on our values and the line in the sand we draw for ourselves, if there are no consequences for behaving badly. Some people simply can’t create their own boundaries of behaviour, but it’s something we all struggle with, whether we’re good people or not. For me, to help myself along with this, especially online, I instructed myself that what goes on in my head doesn’t always have to come out of my mouth (or keyboard) 🙂
haha agreed I'm constantly limiting my words .... I think we need to, to be able to keep the bridges unburned and lines of communication open, even when we'd rather go off our nuts at people. I like to think woman are better at this than men....
Well, that's a lesson to always keep track of where I source things from. I can't now remember the organisation which created it. However, the attached PDF in my post has similar stats -https://committees.parliament.uk/writtenevidence/18973/pdf/

This current trans ideology has made me realise, in multiple ways, just how vitally important words are.

Most men are not in the same league, or anywhere near it, that trans activists are - thank goodness!

can you post a link to the proposed changes here ? thanks
What proposed changes specifically, Tracy?
ammendment to births deaths n marriages legislation

I'll write and publish a bit more on this soon.
“This is not to say that no men can be trusted, because there are many men who are more trustworthy than many women, but that there are times when the most expedient and efficient way to keep women and children safe, and to enjoy some freedom, is to exclude the entire group of men irrespective of any special identity some may adopt. ‘
This! This is what people aren’t getting. Are the women giving away our rights, happy to allow all men into single-sex spaces? After all, not all men are predators. Or at least that’s their argument.
Precisely - after all, isn’t it discriminatory to exclude men who don’t say they’re women?
Kyle Tan works with Jack Burns in the Counting Ourselves project, which has no scientific credibility based at Waikato and is a trans identifying female to male from Malaysia.
That explains everything! Thanks.
What alarming statistics about sexual offending in the UK. I am sharing them around!
Excellent, Barabara - it's good for people to know when it's said that men who say they're women are no risk to women, it's not true.
to be fair the numbers counting them differently to the percentage of the population if you read carefully. They identify as women so they can go to a womans prison, not because they are really 'trans' or have gender dysphoria.
I'm not sure I understand your point. The numbers refer to those men who say they're women, nothing else, is my understanding of the stats.

He also had no problem saying what a woman is
True!

Yes, that's the one.
Yes, you should be able to email it to me through my Substack. Cheers.
