1/ A great many Black women eloquently express their anger at the term black birthing people & its echoes of dehumanising language used for black women in recent history. The same women repeatedly point to the racism in repositioning them as a subset of women alongside males.
2/ They are ignored & swerved in the stampede to roar racist at Rosie McGowan for saying broadly similar things. A woman writes a book that attempts to objectively interrogate competing strands of contention & incoherence around sex & gender couched in a spirit of conciliation.
3/ The objective of the work & its message are ignored & swerved by in the stampede to roar stupid at its author over a point of semantics. Women in the wrestling & college athletic worlds challenge unfairness of males out-performing them to secure scare opportunities.
4/The robust & peer reviewed evidence that demonstrates how males retain significant competitive advantage over females regardless of hormone suppression is ignored & swerved by in the stampede to roar bigot at these women - and mostly - girls with scare resources to progress.

6/...they are ignored & swerved by in the stampede to twitter to condemn them as hateful & vile. Successive international peer studies show up to 80% of children presenting with dysphoria will likely reconcile with their bodies following puberty if supported to access support.
7/ In addition to detransitioners & successive reports from safeguarding and & therapeutic failures of gender clinics, they are ignored and swerved by in the stampede to accuse them of killing children by forcing them towards suicide.
8/ Women in Ireland, a country with a habitual fondness for calling women stupid, vile, bigots, evil, baby killers, are routinely vilified for attempting to navigate these issues as women, as citizens, as parents only these categories as substituted with Tan, Brit, Cunt (terf).
9/ The same men (and women) addressing us all from their pulpit yesterday with their eulogies on the dangers of the misogynistic actions of Eoghan Harris are the very people the above words tumble out of every other day here.
