"When there is no consent, when something is forced upon women, that’s rape culture right there."--Lesbian Action Group member

I have come to realize that EVERYTHING about "transgenderism" is rape culture.

I couldn't agree more.

Yep. I read about the decision first in Jennifer Bilek’s newsletter. In writing about it she said the following:

“Women are now being told, in effect, that they are not a biological class with shared boundaries, but an identity open to anyone who claims it. That their spaces are not theirs to define. That their objections are discriminatory. That reality itself is negotiable. This is not liberation. It is erasure and marketing dressed up as inclusion and compassion.”

We certainly are living in strange times. Stay strong fellow Terfs! 💙

For Women Scotland lost in the lower courts and then won in the highest court in the land - women will fight on! Sall has an army of strong women behind her! Women will not be erased, we will just keep fighting on to protect our civil rights!

This ruling brought me to tears. Sall has such tenacity to keep going. When the levers of law are against what everyone knows (including these men) to be true, it feels so hopeless. I am still dumbfounded by the insanity of all of this. It is so hard to believe, but here we are.

It is SO hard to believe.

In all my 65 years as a feminist, I *never* saw this coming.

How can something be gut-wrenching and inspiring at the same time? We know we are right, despite defeats. We know that Sall is right, that she is strong, that she is brave. Thank you for honoring Sall yet again, Kara.

I imagine that the early 20th century feminists in the U.S. and Europe felt exactly the same way Elizabeth. It’s soul crushing to think how hard our fore sisters fought for our sex based rights, how much condescension and violence they endured, and to see what’s happening now. The absolute contempt being shown to women- it’s humiliating, demeaning, and in some situations dangerous. But they would not want us to give up and we cannot give up. Because we know, as they did, when you stand up, don’t back down, and have moral clarity on your side you win. It feels enormously daunting right now, absolutely. However, we can’t let the bas&$!ds get us down! #WeAllStandwithSall 💙💙💙

Sick to my stomach about the insane legal ruling against Sall Grover. And did you notice ? The sadistic b**tards of this Australian court even “turned the knife” they stabbed into her back by doubling the damages awarded to the male creep !

Devastating ruling. So depressing. #IStandWIthSall. We must keep fighting.

How did that man win? Is truth not a thing in Australia?

NW Luna's avatar

According to Australian law, which ignores reality, the judges had to decide the way they did. However they didn't have to add to the insanity with those monetary damages.

Sall Grover's courage and tenacity are boundless. Even in this awful moment, she rises up to make clear, yet once again:

"It is women who are being discriminated against, not the men who claim to be us.

"But in a sense, nothing has changed: we will all wake up tomorrow & men will still not be women.

#IStandWithSallGrover

Thanks to you, Kara, for honoring her today.

We knew this was coming, since it's Australia, but it's still maddening.

Deb's avatar

Seems like some of these judges may have been paid off by the extremely well funded Trans lobby.

Unbelievable 🤬

sheer madness

Betsy Warrior's avatar

Male supremacy considers itself invincible, ... but time will tell. This seems to be a bridge too far in bending truth and reality. Can they really force this absurdity on enough people?

NW Luna's avatar

Bloody fcking hell! said reality-based women all around the world.
