As of today, this is how women must dress in Afghanistan, according to the Taliban's Supreme Leader.
The following rules are now in effect: The full face must be covered—no hands, nothing visible. The black veil was presented as a "recommendation" a year ago, now it is the law.
@ifeelgoodto
It’s especially frustrating when people then try to turn, twist or misrepresent your words to suit their own agenda. Making out you said things when you didn’t really say them.
@pallnandi
Just part of the manipulation process, designed to induce reverse psychology where the guy then feels like he has to prove he isn’t. Which usually involves giving her something or buying her something.
@kentamichinomiy
Maybe I am out of touch with modern communication methods, but all I see here is ‘I am a slut’. All the rest of the words seem unnecessary and lack any meaning.
@chabcharu
Usually a sign of pure jealousy. A horrible trait, especially if it comes from a person of trust.
At the very least be happy for the person outwardly instead of trying to drag them down so unnecessarily.
@HazelAppleyard_
What is even the purpose of this? Is it just more screams of mental illness? Please notice my weird opinion? Look at me, I’m oppressed!
@HazelAppleyard_
Always bemused by these statements, never see any proof for them. Why would a guy be into a trans girl over a fully fledged girl with all the right parts in all the right places? Doesn’t make any sense at all.
@soidoona
They are surprised you have taken so much notice!
Personally, it shouldn’t be something to be ‘creeped’ out about unless it’s all bad stuff. Generally they should be happy to have someone who listens. That’s respect.
@KingBobIIV
@ClarkeMicah
The tories are just as culpable and you may have noticed, haven’t said a thing about recent events, other than the occasional sentence from leadership contenders.
I think the biggest regret people will be feeling now is not backing reform.
@HazelAppleyard_
@marycatedelvey
@OhShitItsJudith
Wow, this a heavy bizarre interaction. It’s a bit like those who march on the street saying ‘we welcome all refugees’, but as soon as they are asked to take one into their own home it’s ‘ohhhh no’
@HazelAppleyard_
People with disabilities are rarely ever considered in policy making. It’s shameful.
This proposed law is also absolutely ridiculous. We need Jordan Peterson to get back on this case again..
@FloraAcetyra
Sick. Sick asf
We’ve all seen this same tweet copied and rehashed in recent weeks and you’ve gone and done it again.
You have no dignity whatsoever.
@chabcharu
Yes this is very common. People who have it bad often feel physically sick and the thought of eating is bad enough.
Also, people can also be so anxious that all they focus on is the stress factor and do not respond to the bodily request for food.
@chabcharu
That’s something which is fine if you tell them. People can’t be expected to mind-read and may not understand your motives. A bit of communication goes a long way.
@FloraAcetyra
@B_shene_A
3 million men in the US didn’t think they needed to ask for a paternity test either.. The result - 3 million men raising kids who aren’t theirs.
@Lizzytrizzy
Unconditional love is a fantasy, a fake instrument that was used to control society.
Take a second to think about it. Nobody loves unconditionally, you literally love someone because of their conditions.
@fesshole
Well done on killing 2 birds with 1 stone on the business front, but cash payments should always be available for those who are not at pace with technological progress.
@pallnandi
Yes, on 2 occasions. Which was fine by me as my motto is ‘out of sight, out of mind, erase’.
I don’t want little fleeting moments of interest, I am content with moving on as if it never happened.
@BBCBreaking
Another one. Hate to say it but it’s almost becoming a desensitising experience which is awful. Soon everybody will just be accepting this is part of life when it never ever should be like this.
@fesshole
Geez, put the trousers on and just buy 2 portions. If you can afford a stomach op then I am sure you can buy the 2 portions you bought before her op. This is just absolute nonsense.
@HazelAppleyard_
This whole thing seems to be about what bathroom to use. To protect everybody, I would suggest a third bathroom for ftm’s. Everyone gets to use a toilet, nobody gets upset or offended.
@ifeelgoodto
Yes, if it’s at the stage where someone’s behaviour is so disrespectful then you don’t owe them an explanation. Your time is precious.
If someone doesn’t know they’ve upset you, that’s when you should tell them as that’s a lot different.
@HazelAppleyard_
Dunno about ‘ideal’, that’s a different topic, but many men would be more than happy with a woman like this. Stability and peace is worth its weight in gold.
@HazelAppleyard_
I don’t even know how to respond to this. How can people even live like this? I’m just imagining the diary for the day which involves this chore every single day of their lives.
@BlairHenley
Think Jack should just have offered to play the point again. It’s match point on his serve, odds are he wins and avoids the negativity that will no doubt follow this.
@jk_rowling
@jo_bartosch
The opening sentence says a lot ‘As anyone who’s spent time working at a charity will tell you, good causes often attract utter bastards’.
Spare a thought for Roz Adams for being one of the few to openly speak up and lose her job over it.
@GoodwinMJ
The left think banning smoking outdoors is a great idea, babbling on about ‘2nd hand smoke’, not realising that a couple of hours strolling through a city centre will breathe in a lot more pollution than a few seconds of 2nd hand smoke.
@CatherineInFL
@HazelAppleyard_
What I can never understand with these people, why are they so obsessed with having a period?! Obviously it’s physically impossible, so why do they yearn for something that is biologically impossible?
@jk_rowling
A really powerful letter that goes deep into the lasting trauma and how it has been exacerbated by a facility designed to help them.
The Scottish government desperately needs to have an inquiry and to learn the lessons from this.
@PolitlcsUK
@LBCNews
Whilst it is nice of Idris to show his support, surely the meeting should be with the chief of police announcing minimum 5 year terms for anyone in possession of a blade.
@soidoona
Actually, you should stress. Because many many people think this when they are young and suddenly they hit 30.
You wouldn’t waste any other decade of your life so why waste your 20s, the most important decade of your life.
@pearlythingz
The X chromosomes are largely responsible for height. Ask any nerd on eugenics and they will tell you that. So the height of your future offspring generally depend on the height of the mother and her lineage, generally speaking.
@HazelAppleyard_
Yeah forget the standard sh*t tests, this one for real. If he doesn’t stand by her on this then he’s not the man for her, or anybody likely.
@fesshole
Actually some wisdom on fesshole! Other cancers can also be detected in similar manner, plus it’s actually hygienic to do so. If it saves 1 life - your fess will have been worth it!
@xxxxTheKing
She got some serious glutes, core and leg strength on display there and yet she still has a very feminine body. A genetic lottery winner..
@LeeAndersonMP_
I agree with those that say the pressure has to be ramped up on this government. This 180 seat majority seems to have given them mostly disdain for the British public!
@carbdiem
Just smoke and mirrors. Nonsense policies to deflect from dealing with the real ones, whilst infringing on civil liberties for no reason. Ideological politics now.
@MarioNawfal
So he wasn’t in when authorities went round in 2023, so they just left it completely and didn’t try again? This looks like absolute negligence from the outside.
@ywomendeservles
Double down on the hypocrisy after insulting a man’s disability, but can’t take it when it’s dished back. At least he dodged the bullet and didn’t have to waste any more of his time.
@_johnnymaga
85bn left behind which the Taliban actively demonstrates to the world. It would have taken them 500 years to get that much military gear and they got it in a day.
@HazelAppleyard_
Would you mind having a conversation with the UK government on our behalf about this please? America is the only country they listen to.
@chabcharu
Yes, it can be a good method of weeding out the manipulators who fall for it and think they can use it to their advantage.
See how they treat others who aren’t you as well. That’s also a good indication of character.
@IanDunt
Just sucking the joy out of some of the tiny little comforts still remaining. I don’t even smoke, yet I am strongly against just removing a liberty which most people can avoid if they choose to.
@LeeAndersonMP_
Watched it all, incredible to not even have the obligatory PC answer prepared.
This government seem more concerned with following little red books than governing for the people.
@JohannaSilenced
Everybody pushing an agenda for likes and views is what sometimes detaches the place from reality. Plus different people posting the same thing over and over again..
@ywomendeservles
Did this exact same thing once. Was ridiculous. Seemed unable to put the phone down and wasted nearly 2 hours of my life. Life too short for this type of nonsense.
@Zvbear
Or more likely they will just make up the number they think you want to hear. There is actually no point in even asking this question, no good can come from it.
@BBCBreaking
I don’t think anybody can truly be surprised by these results, given some of the recent events in Germany and where these elections took place.
The rest of the western world should perhaps take notice.
@Keekeebooks
The women see the red pill stuff, the men see the radfem stuff, arguments ensue, more interactions, more time spent on twitter.
I can see why sections get radicalised either way but it’s important to remember this place, in the main, is not representative of real life. Yet.
@BBCWorld
She could surely have done something about these issues that matter to her the most given she is in government and VP. Not seeing much from her on policy detail or defence of the issues caused by the last 4 years of dem leadership..
@HabibKhanT
How are they supposed to get out of the country when they aren’t even allowed out of the house? And even if they do somehow escape, it’s not like Afghanistan’s neighbours treat women very well. Your advice is great in theory, totally unworkable in practice.
@PolitlcsUK
@joepike
It would seem it’s only a very small % who have a major issue with this. You don’t have to support this government to recognise this is simply normal things for a PM.
@alori1975
Yes, peer pressure is real, particularly when starting out in life and it can be a tricky path to negotiate.
Willpower is often involved. Being able to walk away from people who don’t want to accept that answer.
@Mattxman2
@LeeAndersonMP_
The far left only seem to be tolerant to those who match their exact beliefs. Quite often not even tolerant to others who are not left enough.
@vocalcry
Hate this sort of objectifying and ‘rating’ but I took the bait. If you don’t think this ass is top tier then you need to recalibrate your tiers.
@jk_rowling
Sounds like you were having a blissful time whilst the whole world was getting their knickers in a twist as to why you weren’t on twitter! 🤣
@ERPGod
@Lizzytrizzy
I’ve never experienced it because it’s not a real thing. You haven’t experienced it either. You may have experienced something you thought was ‘unconditional’. All relationships are subject to conditions. Anything subject to conditions is not unconditional.
@HazelAppleyard_
Yeah I was this one before a few days ago. I actually thought about sending it to you but didn’t in the end as thought it might be upsetting for you.
@ForWomenScot
@_connieshaw
This will never go away as long as this ‘identification’ issue remains. It has to be XX for ladies, XY for gents, enforced by law, otherwise these instances look likely to continue and increase.
