Trans ideologues uphold one entirely subjective criterion: a woman is anyone who claims to be a woman, whether she has a vagina or a penis.
TERFs, on the other hand, say a woman is ineluctably tied to her biology, with sex-based rights resting on women’s material reality.
That happens to be my position as well: A woman is a woman.
What is most bizarre about this topic is that something that blatantly obvious needs to be said at all. Sexual deviance does not extinguish human rights nor does mainstreaming it make it less deviant. It just is.
Well said.
I stopped reading after this …
A trans woman is a man who identifies as a woman. (I have no problem calling trans women “she” in case you were wondering.)
I do. I consider it a HATE CRIME … to tell ME that I have to pretend an UNreality … to indulge a mental patient’s fantasy.
I believe that one should never reinforce a delusion caused by mental illness. I do agree with the statement that a woman is a woman. That would be yesterday, today and tomorrow.
You are free to use whatever terms you want about yourself, and to behave in any fashion that is not illegal and does not improperly affect others.
Demanding that others use your choice of terms on how to define you (including pronouns) is an improper imposition on those around you.
I’m delighted to find out about TERFs. It’s good that there are those willing to stand up to the trans bullies. It remains to be seen whether women’s sports can be saved from those who aren’t top grade and are willing to declare a change in how they identify in order to ascend the podium as the best in the country or world.
That instapundit link deserves its own post. that story out of windsor is fantastic. i can’t wait to see how the intersectional crowd scores that one.
re: Instapundit link: In a previous case brought about by a lesbian against a muslim person that refused to cut the lesbian’s hair based on the antiquated set of standards from his, or some 6th century guy he believes in, (he thought she was a she), the case didn’t make it to court. It was settled out of court, prior to the Canadian Justice system placing its thumb on the scale.
I hope this case goes all the way to the SCOC and then invokes protests that encircle the entire parliament building / federal court buildings until the year 2057.
I don’t read this kinda shit.
I’m in purgatory at the moment (ontario). My grandson came home from hi skool yesterday and told me it was ‘gay day’……
I had to curb my enthusiasm – although I did suggest he might mention to the principal that an equivalent ‘hetro day’ be added to the school year.
We’ll see where that goes…..
Schools are pushing a sinister agenda. Too bad Tanya Granic-Allen was dropped by Ford’s team in Ontario. We need more people speaking out against this garbage — promotion of what was until recently called sexual deviance. I don’t think I am anti-gay, but there is a broader activist agenda out there seeking to undermine traditional family and values. We do not need anybody’s sexual behaviour in our faces. Get rid of gay parades and most certainly promotion of these things in school. It is not ok. We are so off-the-beam with traditional values, respect for mothers, fathers, traditional families, and even being able to distinguish between good and evil that there is bound to be a backlash. I am to the point where I think that some of this stuff is truly evil.
It is not just in the schools, the agenda is meant for all of society. The schools are just the conduit by which the SocProg Maolings will be foisted on the people.
“Normal Day” …
My memory must be failing me. I thought that the Stonewall riots nearly 50 years ago that started all of this malarkey were about “tolerance”, “fairness”, and “justice”.
I gather from the article that the definitions of those terms that I had been taught were altogether incorrect and I am now in serious need of re-education.
It was never about “tolerance”, “fairness”, and “justice” to begin with. It was about tearing down the traditional family. See the book Clio’s Bastards.
The correct response when “summoned” to a “human rights” “court” is to tell them to pound sand. If enough of us normal folks began doing that, and rallying around each other, these twits would melt away…
These delusional chicks sound just like fundamentalist Muslims. Be a good fight to watch a bunch of old bearded Imam’s fresh from some Pakistani madrassa duking it out with a bunch of tarted bearded Trannies fresh out of York University.
If you think it wrong that a man can declare himself a woman and then, using his testosterone-fueled body development, enter and win a female-only athletic event, then you are already at least partially on the side of the TERFs – but for different reasons than theirs.
TERFs want men and women to be declared to be identical in worth and abilities, but allowing men to be women exposes the flaw in their reasoning.

Oh, no they don’t.
Exactly. This is kind of like the Mensheviks and Bolsheviks infighting during 1917-20.
comedy gold this Shiite is, sunni ways for the daz ahead:-)))
It’s funny until you realize that these people are serious and that the law increasingly seems to support their craziness. I objected when there was the push to allow anatomical men into women’s bathrooms. It’s totally offensive, but now we seem to have a law requiring this.
Another public washroom, another I, Napoleon incident:

note the msm phrases in the link: ‘woman’, ‘she’; playing along with the charade.
I take delight in noting the insurmountable contradictions that arise with this tranny crapola.
squirm squirm squirm there new agers.
it’s a modern day witch hunt with roles reversed.
I will call a transgender individual “she” when he passes a six-pound baby through his penis.
Now you are getting down to the meat of the matter.
We’re basically a science family (despite the one offspring who said that career choices would not involve – and I quote – ‘blood, guts, gore, chemistry, or physics; need I say said offspring is an accountant?), so gender is a linguistic term. We have two sexes in the family: male and female. That doesn’t mean we push the grandbrats into strict categories; au contraire, we let them all explore their world. The female grandbrats are – so far – the more physical and braver (or is it less cautious and with no brains and less common sense) than the male grandbrats. But we do see differences by sex and acknowledge same,
Do you ever notice how little you hear from the lesbians? At any rate they don’t look too bad, in slacks, their sensible shoes, short hair and no make- up. The cross dressing men on the other hand, especially the large ones, with broad shoulders, look out of the ordinary. Some of them, sorry, even funny. They need counselling… badly…very badly.
I’m a babe, girl, dame, chick, lady, broad, tomato, peach, and yes, WOMAN. Whetever you want to call me! I like it, because, I am what I am and it takes work to be ready to go out. Everything has to match, fit, be tucked, pulled, tied, zipped, be clean, combed and made- up, lined up, and un-smeared. Why would any guy want to go through that? Men, on the contrary just have to shave, shower and look like a million bucks. Sorry, I digress, shave, shower, and get dressed and look like a million bucks!
All this talk about THEM is just propaganda and a silly distraction. People don’t care about your A B C D E F G alphabet causes. We have many really important things to live, love and laugh about. And yes, cry about. I rest my case. Now where is my gavel?
There’s actually a great deal of research showing that gender is not as strictly bimodal as you people want to believe. Also, genetics isn’t your sex-that’s based on morphology. Genes are just the instructions.
