  • Sex is real

    e male persons who, with a bit of admin and £6, have acquired a gender recognition certificate (GRC). Or as a placard outside put it more bluntly: “Women are born, not some bloke with a form.”

    Moreover, self-ID — the notion that a person has a right to access changing rooms or sports based upon nebulous inner gender — is utterly finished. As is the dishonest, deliberate muddying of legal waters by LGBT groups who have insisted gender and sex can be used interchangeably. The law has upheld the gender-critical, or rather, common sense position: sex is real.

    Services and protections that generations of women battled to create — from rape trauma support groups to female sports — no longer have to worry about being sued by trans-identifying men. Lord Hodge gave a special mention to lesbians “who have historically suffered marginalisation” and whose right to gather for social or romantic reasons was under serious threat from those who believe lesbians can have penises….

    This judgment must be read by every member of the Labour government (who should be grateful they will not now be called upon to clarify the Equality Act, as many feared). It should be sent to civil servants, sports bodies, NHS trusts and to every HR department in the land. The capture of our national institutions by this misogynist ideology is not over, but the end is in sight, thanks to the bravery and determination of the women who wouldn’t wheesht.

    Well there we go:

    "The unanimous decision of this court is that the terms woman and sex in the Equality Act 2010 refer to a biological woman and biological sex."

  • “She smells really bad”

    Rude, certainly, and not at all the sort of behaviour one expects from our charming and fragrant lady tennis players….but funny nonetheless:

    Harriet Dart asked an umpire to tell her French opponent to wear deodorant after claiming “she smells really bad” during a heavy defeat in Rouen.

    In comments picked up by court-side microphones, the Briton attacked Lois Boisson’s personal hygiene during an ill-tempered 6-0, 6-3 humbling for Dart. The unkind public comments leave her potentially at risk of action for unsporting behaviour from the WTA.

    Dart had addressed the umpire as she got to her feet shortly after Boisson walked past her during the second set of her first-round encounter in the Rouen Open. “Can you tell her to wear deodorant,” Dart asked. With the umpire seemingly confused, she then seemed to repeat the question, “Because the smell,” Dart said. “Can you tell her to wear deodorant? She smells really bad.”

    Bravely reviving that favourite old theme in British comedy about the French and their personal hygiene – the Monty Python Montgolfier brothers, for instance.

  • Putting the “ass” in “astronaut”

    e, it’s about what all these women bring back and the stories they’re going to be be able to tell, the lives they’re going to be able to touch,’ said Sanchez before the flight. ‘I get to go with five incredible women explorers – storytellers – to inspire new generations to be interested in space exploration,’ she cooed.

    Far be it from me to spoil the party, but this is not space exploration. Sanchez is a former TV presenter, about to get married to one of the world’s richest men who just happens to own the space rocket.

    Katy Perry has also been drinking from the same fountain of delusional self-indulgence: ‘I’m really excited…We are all made of stardust and it’ll be exciting to see them twinkle from that site and have such an appreciation for Mother Earth when we see it that way’. She went on to suggest the trip would encourage young girls to go into space in the future with ‘no limitations’. Really? Previous passenger trips with Blue Origin have cost more than $1 million (£760,000) a seat. Only for rich girls, then.

    It has been reported that the crew trained for all of two days ahead of the trip. Rather depressingly, much of the coverage of their journey into space featured talk of flared jump suits and other fashion accessories. The female crew appeared more than happy with this agenda, saying that lipstick, eyelash extensions and hair styles matter. The bible of female empowerment, according to Katy Perry, goes like this: ‘Space is finally going to be glam…We are going to put the “ass” in “astronaut”’.

  • The adult baby diaper lover

    A grim tale from up north – Soiled nappies dumped at South Tyneside nurseries by woman who climbed in bins for 'comfort'. "Abbi Taylor, of South Shields, admitted depositing controlled waste at three nurseries in South Tyneside":

    Soiled adult nappies were dumped at Tyneside nurseries by a defendant who climbed into clinical waste bins to find "comfort".

    A court heard staff and parents at the nurseries were left horrified by the actions of Abbi Taylor, who also smeared excrement on milk bottles and on a fire escape of one of the nurseries.

    Well, you know what's coming.

    Taylor, who was born male but identifies as female and was referred to in court as a woman, pleaded guilty to three counts of depositing controlled waste at the South Tyneside nurseries.

    Yes, of course. He's a man.

    The 46-year-old, from Newmarket Walk, South Shields, formerly known as Martin Tarling, also admitted stealing clinical waste bags from one of the businesses and breaching a criminal behaviour order previously imposed by Nottinghamshire Magistrates' Court which banned her from going near nurseries.

    Newcastle Crown Court heard Taylor's Facebook profile featured her as a cartoon character wearing a nappy and referred to being an "adult baby diaper lover".

    A man with a diaper fetish. But the reporters and the court still use feminine pronouns. They still refer to him as a woman. Why? Can they please stop doing this? These aren't a woman's crimes.
