I agree with you 100% Recently in Duncan we had a man who identified as "a bearded lady" naked in the women's change room, where there were little girls present. One of the girls was injured in a fracas. It is beyond ridiculous.
Absolutely, Amy. There are a huge number of things we can have opinions on, and too many people don't realise that we don't have to agree on them all. I've no doubt that I could find lots of things to fight with you about, but if we can agree that sex is real and is sometimes important, we should be able to tolerate each other.
Quite agree on the "sex is real" -- notwithstanding the claims of various so-called science journals to the contrary. The latest being the erstwhile reputable Cell magazine:
Cell: "The history of sex research: Is 'sex' a useful category?"
Talking reasonably with those with a different opinion is how a compromise is determined. As long as TF’s stay away from female spaces and sports, respecting F rights, then trans can do or play with whomever they like.
Well said, Amy. Sometimes I marvel at how the least attractive sex stereotypes are modeled so faithfully by the actors in this drama, starting with belligerent narcissist AGPs and extending to the territorial mean girls jostling for alpha rank based on the most superficial differences imaginable —like my indignation is more righteous than yours. On the bright side, it sure supports the sex-is-real premise!
The whole "purity test" shtick has gotten quite rancid at this point. If I agree with someone on one important issue - like the reality of biological sex - then I don't care if I disagree with them on literally EVERY other issue out there. On that "one issue" I've got their back. I'm with them. I'm on their side. We'll deal with our disagreements on other issues as there may be a need to.
The thing about rude disrespectful people that swear, or we are coming to get you type posts are obviously nor aware that blasphemy hurts their own cause and creates support for their opponents .
Agree 100%, but didn't even know that this sort of infighting was going on. Thanks -- i think -- for illuminating me. Also Amy, i published the article about you and Amy Gallagher on my substack and on Harry's Place. It's called, "Judging Amys" and was well received in both. I'd love to know that you read it and what you thought of it. i'm not after anything, honest.

ICYMI, my open letter to them; not surprisingly they haven't responded to my email yet:

Absolutely. Which is why I’m so proud to be with caWSbar - non partisan, single issue, get shit done
I'm shocked but not surprised. I've been a radical activist since 1967 and I ve seen this in every movement. Bonnie.

You have my total support!
