Replying to @aral@mastodon.ar.al
@aral@mastodon.ar.al JK Rowling [chief #TERF] is backing a womens network to sue Féile in Northern Ireland for cancelling their presentation at the upcoming events. The legal papers were served before a meeting discussing the cancellation had concluded this afternoon. These are #SLAPP suits IMO, and they should be banned. Event organisers and business must be able to cancel inappropriate events without threat of such lawsuits.

RE: https://lgbtqia.space/@thepurpleoctopus/116906942591535663 In case any of you need to make the case for rejecting transphobic (& associated non-binary, fluid, or intersex hate) ideology framed as "protecting women", here is a superb guide from the wonderful purple octopus. #terf #TransRightsAreHumanRights #Trans #LGBTQIA #queer #Intersex #NonBinary #TransBathroomBan

One of the greatest achievements of feminism was teaching the world that women are more than their bodies. Women are not wombs. They are not vaginas. They are not chromosomes, breasts, hips, fertility, or the ability to bear children. Womanhood has never been reducible to anatomy. Feminism fought against exactly that reduction. It challenged the idea that biology determines destiny. It insisted that women should be valued for their humanity, intellect, agency, and lived experience—not for the body parts society assigned significance to. Which is why I find it so bitterly ironic that TERFs, who claim to be feminists, have returned to defining womanhood almost exclusively through reproductive anatomy and assumed physical characteristics. Reduce a woman to her womb? Feminism rejected that. Reduce a woman to her vagina? Feminism rejected that. Tell women their bodies determine who they are? Feminism rejected that too. Whether a woman is infertile, post-menopausal, has had a hysterectomy, was born with differences in sexual development, or is a trans woman, reducing her to a checklist of anatomy is not a feminist act. It is the very essentialism feminism spent generations dismantling. TERFs may call themselves feminists, but defining women by their reproductive organs is not a continuation of feminism, it is a return to the biological essentialism feminism has spent decades fighting against. Equality has always meant seeing the whole person. Not just the body.

The rules about sex/gender, and the increasing suspicion that someone on a girls team may be a trans person is going to discourage girls from involvement in sport. Look at the treatment meted out to Caster Semeya who always identified as female. Playing sport as a boy or man doesn’t face the same likelihood of testing & inspection. #TERF #TransRights ‘Too many girls miss out’: new research shows size of gap to boys in UK sport participation | Sport | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/jul/01/new-research-gap-girls-boys-sport-participation

God, it's so depressing when *one* preferred actor who clearly can't possibly need the money chooses to "earn" their next pile of cash doing morally repulsive work, but when it's more than a dozen of them ... 😔 😡 At least the original younger cast of Potter had the decency to distance themselves from it. #PotterPound #TERF #TransRightsAreHumanRights
