Shields is often seen throwing his weight aeound at uni events. Another man with diamonds in hisxears ( he has a high paying twch sector job) often swims with his blonded hair in a ponyail, wearing a women's (purple) costume. He knows hw is male...has two daughters. I am tired of all these fakescpretending we all should accept their fetish, allow their unreality and delusions of grandeur to subvert women's reality and child safety. Ironic that CCC Animal management could, (realising reality and my safety concerns re children and unleashed rosming dogs rushing at the vulnerable) take action in 24 hours but councillors ( of whom a good proprtion are 'real' women) appear to hsve a mental block about safety for women and children. This despite their being petitioned over years, spoken with, emailed with U.N. human rights' Special Rapporteur Reem Alsalem's statement on women's rights to their own spaces. They are obdurate, obfuscating in their ridiculous reasoning and their allowing men into women spaces is obscene.

Gross - but almost a template version of these fetishistic blokes.

Also ...it was Muslim women - both a friend (whose husband narrowly escaped death shot 3x at mosque and father of their two sons) and a Muslim community worker ( a woman) who came to ask me to ( like Katrina) support them to have a women only session to be at peace to feel safe. So much for the hypocrisy of CCC women.

The so-called 'right to self identify' is a corruption of international law that states a 'people' can 'self-determine'. Such wilful fuckery for trannys.

Thanks for the clarification. I couldn't quite remember how it had been twisted, and from what, when I was writing this. I won't forget again.

Yes, the muddying of international laws for trannys: just another type of malfeasance in service to the cockfrockers.

It’s used when indigenous/natives want to self-determine and now corrupted into ‘My PrIvAtE fAnTaSy Of HoW i SeE mYsElF iS LEGAL, bIgOt.’

Another great post Katrina. Not that we needed any more education about how all this crap is just a men's movement in disguise.

If "identifying as" works for men, why can't I bring my dog to a public pool? She identifies as human, so why are her rights to self ID not respected? To say otherwise is to create harm for her and/or to state that she doesn't exist!

And the cries of "transphobia" are falling on my deaf ears; why are they so afraid of real women? https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/im-not-transphobic-you-are-normaphobic

Yes, this 'self-identify' nonsense is wide open to misuse, and legal challenge. And it will be legally challenged as soon as someone has the money to put into it.

Robin, I was just wondering with all this identifying that we can do, does this mean that I can identify with having a PhD and start to add this bogus fiction to my email signature. If identifying is based on feelings what’s stopping people to start identifying with what ever they feel like. When you give people an inch they will take a mile.

"Dog Owners!

Stop saying 'good boy' and 'good girl' to your pets.

This kind of gendered language is normalising the myth of canine sexual dimorphism, and delegitimises the lived experience of transdogs. 🐕🏳️‍⚧️

'The mood is changing, though. There’s a growing desire to push back harder against these anti-women policies...' Thanks for lifting my mood with this hopeful sentiment. It's dark out there. And I agree we need to define their cause as 'anti-women', a concept that unlike 'anti-men', the charge always lobbed at feminists with great effect in undermining our efforts, is hardly ever spoken in the public sphere and yet it is entirely more accurate than the 'anti-men' charge.

On point Katrina. So, the good old council along with all institutions embrace the trans ideologues. The University of Canterbury also promote STEM events to students who identify as female. This one just cracked me up, as STEM has a shortage of females studying in this area and practicing. UC talk about the low numbers of females enrolling in these courses however when it time to promote to girls in schools they open it up to boys. This year I received the email from their marketing department to promote the event to prospective students. I thought about emailing them back to query what they mean, however it’s an automatic email and I know the answer would be coming straight out of their comms department. I know we have to highlight,pushback when we see this however institutions can carry on doing this. It would be interesting to see how many women have complained to the council about their inclusive swim sessions. Do the pools have seperate changing facilities as in cubicles, where are these men getting changed ?

It's become very clear in recent times that institutions are so captured by gender ideology that we can't engage with them in the way we used to, and expect results. I don't propose we stop engaging in the usual way, but we have to find another way, too.

And...these sessions are long...do they take place in another pool to the main pool? Just how are they private, does anyone know?

“Indian low-cost carrier IndiGo has become the first airline to allow women travellers to choose

a seat next to another woman. In a world-first move, an airline is giving women the option to

choose the gender of their seat-mate in a bid to make them feel safer. IndiGo will make the change

from August, when female flyers will be allowed to book seats next to other women If they don’t

want a male seat-mate. They will be able to check the gender of the flyer sitting next to them prior

to booking. However, this change will not apply to men. Upon booking their flights, men will not be

shown the gender of their seat-mate and instead will only be able to view available seats.”

Ref: news.com.au

(I am sure India is well aware of Transgenders. What will the outcome be when a woman requests

a seat next to a woman and a male claiming to be a woman turns up in the seat?)

How interesting! Yes, I wondered how they’ll manage the men who say they’re women?

I think they may have dug themselves a hole. To my mind, it just makes it easier for AGPs to choose a seat that'll ensure an erection. Good luck to them though.

I'm good at Sniglets or portmanteaus.

I call it LIEdentifying now.

Also, MisterGendering because it's usually males whinging about it.

I coined #MrFloatyScrote for Mr "Lia" (William) Thomas in NCAA swimming.

Thanks for the update Katrina.

Per one of your commenters, I suggest this has nothing to do with being afraid of real women, nor is it a men's movement -- in any way. I hope the writer was being ironic. This is obviously an agenda. The techniques being used are a form of cultural Marxism. See U.S. communist Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals for an insight into the tactics you're no doubt seeing.

https://archive.org/details/RulesForRadicals

Similar tactics were used during China's Cultural Revolution.

Because it is an agenda no appeals to politicians, no petitions, submissions...will ever work.

The only thing that will work is to eliminate their funding and regain control of the institutions.

This agenda is meant to destabilise and divide society. Blaming this on men (your commentor) will not help.

I absolutely know that cultural Marxism is the foundation for all of this crap, but when I am talking to average people (in different social groups, out dog walking, etc.) I think it is important to start at a place that makes sense to them and starting with cultural Marxism just makes eyes glaze over and has them searching for an exit. Starting with real examples, such as men intruding on women only swim sessions is something that makes sense.

I am not "blaming men" for everything trans, but I do feel that men are the main beneficiaries of gender self ID. And I am really upset by young women who feel the only way out of our hypersexualised society is to become a man, which of course is impossible and further perpetrates harm. I am not the only one who thinks this way: https://thecritic.co.uk/the-new-mens-rights-movement/

There is a very good article devoted to explaining why trans/nb is such a craze for young women as a form of escapism here: https://zinnia01.substack.com/p/a-partial-explanation-of-zoomer-girl

While men are the predominant gainers from this phenomenon and women the prime victims the male blame is principally for taking advantage of a convenient moment to practice pathologies which have actually always been there, they've just been enabled by this cultural revolution. IE perverts have always been there, just in saner times they knew they had to hide under a rock and come out at night. Now they are fawned upon by simply using the magic G word.

Kudos on having the courage to use the term cultural marxism. I've been reluctant to use this terminology since it is so strongly associated with the right wing, but I just can't let go of it since it is simply so descriptively accurate.

"Oh, noes! Are we terven oppwessing da poor twanswimmins? Oh, the twaaaaansphobiaaaahhhh! It's coming for them! Run! (Preferably out of all women's facilities)

Rational people define transphobia as overt physical attacks or threats. Activists define twansphobiaaaaaahh! as anything that isn't abject capitulation and slavish dick-sucking combined with praise for the 'female penis' and gargling jizz like a sommelier." ©GeekGurl2000, Creative Commons permission granted.
