    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I’ll say this quietly, but I agree with Truss about Covid debt being a long term emergency spending like the war and shouldn’t be paid off in any short timescale. But TBH I have no idea what the current plan for it is and she could be talking bollcoks. Sunak is a Thatcherite, he’ll keep taxes on...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Anyway, Tom Tugendhat: looks and sounds a bit like an incidental character in the Kingsman movies, no? Badenoch had some interesting things to say, but terrible delivery and blatantly reading from notes like a Y7 in an assembly at times. Mordaunt and Sunak seem paper thin. Truss is Truss. When...

    As Clint alluded to the fact I have a teenage daughter makes that one a little more personal than most. But I think that’s a fair point.

    Not any more. I believe we scared the only one we had off, which is a really sad indictment of the quality of debate TBQH. There’s been people mention friends and family too. I have a trans coworker, my brother in law is non-binary. It’s a really shitty debate, but it’s a debate that’s needed...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The fundamental question here is “how trans is enough to make women feel safe?” data suggests the answer is “surgery” and I think a majority would accept a law that was basically what we have but you need surgery for a GRC and womens groups were still allowed female only groups for support...

    To a psychologist? I get what you’re driving at, and TBH the worst thing about modern trans activism is by pushing hard it’s broken an unwritten rule that been around for ages, which is basically: if you’re serious enough to get surgery and pass well you can crack on. There’s only a few of you...

    Its not just about assault. At its core it’s about women’s right to assemble without men present should they wish. Activists will often compare sex segregation with race segregation or sexuality segregation, but the difference is black people don’t have a wildly different offending profile to...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Do you disagree with the bit? I’ve had multiple girlfriends show me this clip as a way of understanding. Women are afraid of men and rightly so: we’re bigger, stronger, faster, more aggressive, more prone to mental illness, more likely to offend, and commit something like 98% of sexual...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    No. They’re far more supportive that we are. We get called “TERF Island”. Because U.K. feminism is more rooted in materialism thanks to its socialist roots here, whereas American feminism is more liberal and third wave. Also we don’t tend to buy magical ideas about self actualisation like the...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Their trans status is irrelevant, these women have no issue with “trans men” attending womens sports (subject to doping law), prisons, spaces. It’s men they have a problem with. They see it as yet another “Not all men are like that”/“I’m one of the nice guys”.

    Privacy, dignity, the right to assemble without an chaperone.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    On topic I thought Tugendhat was by far the most polished of the lot. Badenoch was a lot lot worse than I expected. The big three pretty meh.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The unwritten agreement has always been cutting your dick off offers you some level of trust in how serious you are. The best tl:dr I’ve read of this is: Conservatives: women must do the washing up Feminists: Anyone can do the washing up Trans activists: Whoever does the washing up is a woman

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    OK. The main thing for second wave feminists is replacing sex with gender. They’ve spent their entire polticial lives fighting gender. The idea that they have to behave a certain way to be a woman, that being hairier, louder, stronger, taller makes them “less womanly”. They’ve also been...

    What if your wife was religious and not allowed to undress around the opposite sex, or has a trauma response due to previous assault?

    Do you think any man should be able to choose to go to a womens prison? Why do you think we sex segregate prisons?
