Don't let "Woman" disappear

What would Valentine's Day be without women?

Don't let them erase women by changing the language

A thread on the importance of language. Emphases added below:

We started with transwoman. You were threatened if you did not use the new term. We were all "nice". We agreed. What's in a word? Sure. If that makes you feel happy. Ok. We were kind. 1/

2/ Then something happened. We we were saying transwoman - a noun to denote a person living a particular lifestyle. All was good.
Then it switched. And the switch was dramatic, fast, and full of vicious threats. You could see it in real time on Twitter.

3/ Suddenly the space was demanded. Trans woman. Not transwoman any more.
It's just a space. Who could complain? Whatever.

4/ If you said TW with no space you were a bigot, a monster, a transphobe. The space was demanded. Required. Style books rewritten. News outlets instructed. And what was that about? You could see it in real time. It was a wave. Why? . . .

And who was in charge of demanding the changes?

7/ Trans woman means there is a kind of person who is trans and that particular person is a woman. It makes no difference what you think you're saying. It matters what it means.

8/ And it means this in LAW now.
What a clever trick. Who needs to rewrite laws if you have redefined the words used in them.

9/ This is the definition now in the UNRUH civil rights act in California (cal civil code 51).
By LAW women may not have a single sex space because by LAW women no longer exist. Not as you know the word anyway.

Part of the graphic cited:

10/ Did you know the TRAs don't have a word that means adult human female in their language? Ask them. You'll see. You can't speak of a group that doesn't have a word.
This is an existential battle and they have taken our words. We are taking them back.

11/ Words MATTER.
Women EXIST.
We will keep our word that means adult human female. You cannot have it.
Men are Men.

There's more at the link. Ever wondered why there are so many "linguists" on the left?

Other Trans News

On Monday, Buck Throckmorton posted a great Morning Rant: The Trans-Children Era is About to Be Memory-Holed & the Perpetrators Will Be Disavowing Involvement. It started with a NYT piece acknowledging the growing phenomenon of detransitioners. (Don't comment on old threads. But this one is worth re-reading!)

The New York Times! And politicians suddenly bailing on their leftist constituents!

There have been a few other developments, too.

HHS Says It Has Only Two Pages Of Scientific Evidence Backing Its Support For "Gender-Affirming Care"

Protect the Public's Trust (PPT), a nonprofit watchdog, filed a Freedom of Information Act request for "records of scientific evidence, studies, and/or data to support the Assistant Secretary's claim that 'gender-affirming care is medically necessary, safe, and effective for trans and non-binary youth,'" as well as for "records of surveys of medical professionals regarding the value and importance of 'gender-affirming care' for minor children."
In response, HHS produced only a single document--a two-page PDF called "Gender-Affirming Care and Young People." The document is also on HHS' website and is not a scientific study, but rather a brochure that declares that "research demonstrates that gender-affirming care improves the mental health and overall well-being of gender-diverse children."
It supports the statement with a footnote to a single study that showed that transgender-identifying young people were slightly less suicidal when receiving treatment -- 51% who were receiving such care were suicidal, slightly lower than the 62% who weren't receiving hormones but wanted them. The HHS document also states that puberty blockers are reversible and hormone therapy is partially reversible.

I wonder why the HHS didn't make these data clear to the general public?

A possible answer. Do you agree?

Odd that the WHO would rely on activists to advise it. Or maybe that's not so odd.

Who could and would run you through with a sword. He dressed like a twink, but had testicular fortitude.

Cary Grant dressed like the idea of a modern, urbane man in 1940. He might have been a twink, but he didn't dress the part.

Today's men dress like Tinkerbelle, and Tinkerbelle could kick their asses.

Cary Grant is wearing about two thousand dollars worth of clothing, with the cufflinks, watch and extras, probably 2500 to 3K. All of which require special cleaning making the wearing an expensive endeavor.
The 16th century rig is more expensive, at that time a shirt alone would take around 100 hours to spin, weave and tailor, and the breeches and tunic each would take similar amounts of time. The hat, post shearing and washing took around 5 hours to felt and shape, at least that is what I am told now by hobbyists.

we seem to be richer, in that we live lives that my great grandfathers would consider greater than a Carnegie, but in reality what we have is cheaply made because we can't afford better and live. "we have more money than ever and we can't afford anything" is where we are right now, and things are getting cheaper, flimsier, and smaller.

The more boosters, the sicker you get, and the longer your multiply infected cells keep producing spike proteins and your immune system keep doing the auto-immune thing to try to stop them.

Dad owned four or five suits and wore them daily when he was working for the newspaper in 1965. Grandpa had more, but he owned a gas station and was pretty prosperous.
It was a way of showing they were decent people who had money.

Men seem to own about two nowadays, if they own any, and complain about the cost.
all decisions are economic decisions, the question is why has clothing become so cheap, and boardshorts proper for street wear now, instead of in 1970?

84 Remember, this is the exact reason J. K. Rowling became Literary Hitler (and possibly Literally Hitler). Not that she is, but the screaming banshees went after her for saying that surgery does not convert womanhood.

Not only after her, but after projects that were from her work. They tried to gin up a boycott over the video game Hogwarts Legacy (which became a best seller despite their efforts).

They are horrible, sick people. Probably insecure as well - they cannot accept what they are, so they change it drastically with drugs and surgery. But it's only a facsimile, not the real thing. And any reminder of that probably deepens the despair and the wounds, and they lash out.

And if there are those that don't lash out, that ignore what others say about the surgery... well, good for them. They aren't the problem, they aren't a problem. It's the ones that are demand and force others into their fantasy, outside of reality, that are the problem.

That is correct. In fact, much more than promising, rather I would say compelling. The four k9s, working independently of each other all gave what they call a 'final trained response', indicating that they triggered on human remains, within an area about 6' X 10' in size. The handlers tell us that indicates a >95% likelihood of being real rather than false positive. A series of unrelated causes have resulted in no further progression of the search, most recently due to "winter". But this latest update indicates the right people are on the case and will complete the search.

150 From the Joe Biden for President campaign:

“Every single time Donald Trump opens his mouth, he’s confused, deranged, lying, or worse. Tonight, he lied more than two dozen times, slurred his words, confused basic facts, and placated the gun lobby weeks after telling parents to “get over it” after their kids were gunned down at school. But you won’t hear about any of it if you watch cable news, read this weekend’s papers, or watch the Sunday shows. Beltway reporters may be numb to Trump’s horrifying candidacy defined by chaos, division, and violence — but the American people are the ones who will suffer and die if he’s allowed anywhere near the Oval Office again.

The following is a list of lies Donald Trump told tonight. In Harrisburg, PA:

Trump falsely said Biden wants an open border.
Trump falsely said terrorists were taken into this country by the millions.
Trump falsely claims “nothing happens” to people who commit assault or murder.
Trump falsely said electric cars don’t work in cold weather.
Trump falsely said everyone coming to the country is a man between 18 and 25.
Trump falsely said Democrats cheat in elections.

And the list went on and on.

When "Hard Days Night opened (first run) at The Majestic Theater in Perth Amboy (a Walter Reade first run movie palace), the lines were around the block. For every show. When I and a few friends finally got in, we sat in box seats in the balcony. We were fairly close to the screen and couldn't hear the music due to all the screaming in the audience. The British Invasion had begun. That was a 1800 seat theater and was sold out every show.

Yeah...those are not things I'd think the Dems want to draw attention to. Sure, "millions" of terrorists haven't been imported into the country, but thousands have, easily. I ran out of room, but a few other choice selections:

- Trump falsely said we’re a failing nation and a nation in decline.
- “Joe Biden is the worst and most incompetent and most corrupt president in the history of our country.”
- Falsely said Biden is going to empower America’s enemies, unleash misery throughout your state and throughout our country, bedlam and chaos at home and abroad.
- Trump falsely says Catholics are being persecuted.
- Trump falsely said Biden will confiscate guns and take away the right to self-defense.

Just repeating Trump's claims get the ideas out there in the zeitgeist...and enough are close enough to true that it will raise alarm with many Americans.

To the extent that they're allowed to study that, the evidence has been pretty overwhelming that children who genuinely question their identity often turn out to be gay or lesbian if they don't have their junk immediately chopped off.

Oh you are so correct. On several different layers it is good to put the sheriff on the periphery. It's been three months since the cadaver dogs and he has not set foot on the site even once in that interim. The utter lack of curiosity boggles. He had indicated if remains were found he would refer it to the local coroner who is not even a physician much less a pathologist, never mind a forensic pathologist. We are so happy that CBI is now on it. We've been requesting that since a month or two after the disappearance. In 2008.

278 Trans woman means there is a kind of person who is trans and that particular person is a woman. It makes no difference what you think you're saying. It matters what it means.

Yeah, they have completely butchered the English language.

If I saw "transwoman", I would interpret that as "a man who 'identifies as', or pretends to be, a woman". In other words, a made-up term for a man with the mental disorder of gender dysphoria.

If I saw "trans woman", I would interpret that as "a woman who is 'transgender'" (i.e. "identifies as" or pretends to be a man). "Trans" is the adjective describing a woman. Like fat woman or smart woman or sexy woman.

That makes logical sense under the understanding that (1) there are two sexes/genders (male & female) and (2) no person can biologically change from one sex/gender to another.

Thus, everyone is either a man, a woman, a man pretending to be a woman or a woman pretending to be a man.

But the Marxist Left has redefined all these terms so as to make them meaningless, like they did with "marriage" in the 2000s and like they did with "vaccine" in 2021.
