The new social justice movement is different to the old one. The civil rights movement and the campaign for legal equality for homosexuals began on the streets. The new transgender movement, on the other hand, began in the cultural studies departments of universities and is founded on Theory, with an upper-case T.

Queer Theory, from which today’s transgenderism derives, is an exercise in applied postmodernism that explicitly sets out to change the social order. Transgender activists are not motivated by the plight of those suffering from gender dysphoria, a clinical diagnosis some of these radicals would like to erase. They are political revolutionaries who use “queer” as a verb and deliberately mess with the language to destabilise seemingly fixed categories, like male and female, and to problematise the binary thinking they represent. Their actions flow from a worldview obsessed with hierarchies of power and cultural grievances that reduces everything to a zero-sum political struggle.

He gave me a friendly "G'day", and to my shame, I replied just as friendlily. And I continued to the shops. But now, everytime I walk past that way, I know a Nazi lives there, and it's unsettling.

A hospital in the UK has introduced a policy that suggests inclusive language towards trans men who are pregnant that can be used alongside the usual way you'd talk to mothers that you'd used for women so of course the Fairfax papers are running a story that, despite mentioning the fact that it is purely additive, frames it as THE EVIL TRANSES ARE ERASING WOMEN

If I understand correctly, the controversial thing for these people is that in some professional settings people will avoid saying "mother" and "father" since they're gendered? The way they're complaining about it, you'd think that "Happy Mother's Day" cards will be banned under penalty of death. I'm pretty sure you'll still be allowed to post photos of your gender reveal party on Facebook with a caption saying "I'm going to be a mother!!", is it really going to ruin the experience of parenthood if a doctor doesn't use the terms mother and father?

Considering (rich, white) men face barely any consequences even if convicted of rape, I think we can stop pretending that speculating that a man might be a rapist is somehow beyond the pale. Rape accusations don't 'ruin lives', they're an awkward temporary inconvenience at worst.

How absolutely vile.

In the 1970s and 80s, I thoroughly enjoyed being a pregnant woman, giving birth and breastfeeding. I now realise how selfish and discriminating I was. To make up for this, I would now like to make two previously female-only functions available to everyone. These are menstruation and menopause. You will notice that no name changes will be necessary. Enjoy!

Its not like they sold off every profitable asset that the taxpayers created that could've been invested into the future of the country instead of being pissed away or anything.

Im still cranky about selling CSL. Even if they had kept a 49% stake, the dividends paid since going public would have been more than the original sale price.
