Jenrick says 'it's not about the colour of people's skin'. It's just that he didn't see a single white face. That's not even logically coherent. (@David__Osland)

Tragic protagonists are funny because you have Oedipus who does everything in his power to avoid the fate which has unfortunately already been written for him but then you also have Orestes who is joining the war on generational curses on the side of the generational curses. (@corduroycleric)

Never forget: women can't know for sure they're women unless they've had their chromosomes checked, but if a man says he's a woman he's definitely a woman and it is highly offensive to mention his chromosomes, which are entirely irrelevant to whether or not a person is a woman. (@jk_rowling)

TRAs: ‘Trans’ women (men) ARE women and no-one can tell the difference you bigot
Also TRAs: You (a woman) look like a ‘trans’ woman (man). HA HA I am insulting you. HA HA. I am very smart. (@WomensSocIre)

When you're young and getting pregnant usually isn't wise, you're always told how easily done it is and how careful you have to be. When you're actively trying and openly doing so, people will remind you how hard it is and that it usually takes time. Which one is it? (@anon_opin)

Traditional men can’t seem to decide whether women are lazy golddiggers for depending on men for money, or good women for not working and letting men provide. (@ulxma)

 I do not understand Progressives uncritically supporting the Palestinians who deny equal rights for Women and criminalise homosexuality. (@ThomasDierson)

I love how they claim there are only about 10 gender-critical people in the world and/or everyone is a 'Bot' while simultaneously making massive lists of 'transphobes'. (@OslerMarc)

Why, when people who claim a synthetic sex identity want to pee, there is only a handful of them going about their lives who are no threat, yet when anyone speaks about the harms of the ideology, there are vast swaths of them being murdered and oppressed? (@bjportraits)

Creationist: "I am religious and live by faith. Evolution is a religion that requires faith so it's stupid and wrong". (@grenangle)

I find it endlessly curious that the same people who don’t believe in a higher power have decided gender is some invisible ‘essence’. (@femmehonnete1)

A significant contradiction of male supremacy: women are incompetent yet conniving and manipulative. Women are shamed for having sex yet women owe men sex. (@DrProudman)

It always amazes me how the same people who are absolutely convinced of the power of women's words to hurt trans people are also the ones so skeptical of the danger of men in women's spaces. (@helensaxby11)
