For 3 days, out of the corner of my eyes, I could see him watching me, out of proportion in relation to the way he was watching everyone else.
It was frankly creepy, and I was well over it within the first day.
Tomorrow will be interesting.
I’ll let you know how it goes 😉
But sheesh.
You keep hearing that trans people just want to get on with their lives, but they want more than that.
That crave attention.
From EVERYONE.
This bloke had the attention of 29 people, but that wasn’t enough because there was 1 person not engaging with him.
I am currently working with a trans-identified male.
I clocked him immediately, and ignored him. I never had to work with him, so no issues until today.
This person is in a leadership position, so they don’t do the same legwork as the rest of us.
Generally he just supervises
Since we were kicking goals, our bloke wasn’t keen, and asked why he wanted to swap, and the TIM said it was good to “get to know everyone in the wider team”.
Our supervisor said he liked his team and suggested the bloke swapped with someone else.
Bloke took off in a strop.
All the time, I just got on with the job I am employed to do.
I was never rude; nothing was ever specifically directed at me (apart from the chair banging), and my lack of response could have been seen as not wanting to cause an argument (which it was).
I moved my chair so it wasn’t behind his. So now when he pushed his chair back, it wouldn’t hit mine.
I think you can all guess what happened next.
Yes, he got up and moved his chair so it was behind mine again.
And the chair smacking started up again.
So after 3 days of trying to subtly attract my attention and failing (I’m the only person of the 30 here who isn’t gushing over him), he started becoming more obvious.
Today, he decided to join the team next to mine. (He couldn’t join ours because ours was full.)
@Jubilee4Jesus
@Slipstream60
As a foster carer this made me well up.
I have a tricky 13 year-old boy at the moment who is smart & sassy & talented, but all he’s showing me right now is rebellion & disrespect.
I also know in ten years time he will be a good man in a good place & it will have been worth it💕
This time I got up & moved my chair to a 90 degree angle to his.
Then he started talking loudly, and directing conversations over to our table. I just kept focussed on my work.
When that wasn’t enough, he then offered to swap supervisory roles with the bloke on our table.
He chose to sit directly behind me. As in so close that when either of us got up from our tables, our chairs hit each other.
After about 30 minutes of him smacking his chair against mine even when he wasn’t getting up, (and me ignoring it), I took action.
@MPMacLachlan
@YeahNaaaaah
You forgot to mention the most important point: these protesters are almost all men.
Men going out of their way to harass, threaten and intimidate women out of gathering and talking about our female lives.
Scratch any TRA and there is an MRA underneath.
I challenge anyone to find Dylan Mulvaney’s first weeks of “girlhood” videos, watch them again, & tell me it didn’t start as a PISS-TAKE of transgenderism.
Only once he realised people were taking him seriously, & giving him praise, attention AND MONEY, did he become serious.
@Poppa0R
@EliErlick
FOREVER.
Because that’s the thing here. Every cell in their body is coded XY (or XX for women), so the minute they stop taking opposite sex hormones, the body starts reverting to its natural biological settings.
Living as trans is the real lie, and their body knows it.
Rapid Antigen Tests are a medical diagnostic tool.
Why would a homewares store believe it would even be *allowed* to sell them unless they were already in discussions to that effect with the government prior to putting in a bulk order?

@Poppy_yyyyyyyy
I made this point at that time.
There are so few male nurses it would be hard to accommodate a request for a male-only nursing care.
Female-only should have been a doddle … and I’m sure it was.
This was always about hurty man feelings, not about providing the requested care.
I can’t stop thinking about
#Morrison

#GriefPhotoOp
visit to Tasmania.
I seriously fucking hate him.
When
#Abbott

But here we are.

@australianwoma1
He is very obviously a bloke, so his CHOICE of dressing in high heels and a sparkly jockstrap in public is quite obviously intended to draw attention to his “specialness.”
Wearing LOOK AT MEEE! clothes, then complaining that people look at you is so on-brand for the 2020s 🙄
@OliLondonTV
@RebelNewsOnline
I would put money on it being an attempt by him to be fired so he can then sue the state for discrimination.
It has a kind of genius to it 😉
@xxclusionary
He also knows damn well that his teenage audience is smashing that “yes, I’m over 18” button as we speak.
And there’s nothing TikTok can do about it.
Win/win for him.
Except for explaining why his content is all “hey kids” & “your parents are bad” if it is aimed at 18+ 🤔
@MalesOfReddit
So, wait a minute … they lied and said they were female, presumably to attract a straight guy, and they think when they turn up, not as a woman, but as a man in a dress, there’s still a chance the date might go well? 😂😂😂
@NFTguybuys
@FondOfBeetles
“New insights”? It’s a natural biological process that happens every month to millions of women and girls.
It happens to zero men, so why - yet again - are men being centred in something that is just women’s business?
@EcuadorianMum
All those brave masked people.
If you were confident in your ideological position, then you’d be PROUD to be associated with your cause, wouldn’t you?
It’s funny then, how many want to hide their faces - their SEX - so people don’t clock this as a MEN’S RIGHTS MOVEMENT? 🤔
@DjokerNole
What about the Tennis Australia rule that you needed to have your exemption sorted before December 10, 2021?
To play, you either had to be fully vaxxed or have been COVID positive within 6 months of Dec 10.
You were neither, so you miss out, mate.
Nice deflection though 😉
Australia has squandered its natural advantage. We are an island. We were covid-free for months after it first took off overseas. We saw the mutations coming.
With competent Federal management, we could have stayed relatively covid-free.

His career was miraculously restarted last year after “transitioning”.
In other words, until he could play against girls he wasn’t able to make the cut.

The upside of this tweet is that people are getting out to be tested, rather than spreading COVID around in an “I don’t give a fuck” way

Because it’s not a part of the body that might naturally form a callous around a wound, therefore it’s always trying to fix the wound.
Your body always knows what your body should do, even if your brain and “feelings” are in denial 😉

@catseesXX
It’s worse that you think.
He’s suggesting that when you taken female hormones, your BOY BITS start to turn into girl bits.
I’ve been joking about this for a while, but it seems I was right.
They really do have no idea how the human body works 🙄
@Future_Harmony
@millihill
But that is reality; men CAN’T become women.
Sex is binary & immutable - it will never & can never change.
If this reality is “transphobic” then all that says is transgenderism is anti-reality.
I’ll sit with the realists, thanks.
@growinThroughIt
Yep.
If you have to enforce pronoun use so you don’t get “incorrectly” sexed, then you don’t look like the sex you’re claiming to be.
It’s human nature to view others as they appear to be.
If you’re obviously a bloke, even wearing a dress, expect to get he/him’ed.
@HannahFoord7

*angry MALE critics.
There were lots of 🍆 among the protesters when I walked past.
Just another Men’s Rights Movement - only this time they’re wearing dresses.
@antipovertycent
When my 17 year-old daughter’s 18 year old boyfriend moved in with us, Centrelink demanded that I “prove” he wasn’t MY partner.
Apparently “he’s *my daughter’s* boyfriend” (with photographic proof) and “I’m 54, and he’s 18” were not good enough reasons to believe me.
@AwokeRoseArisen
@helenstaniland
In women’s changing rooms - in what way is this weird or controversial?
It’s literally in the description: changing out of one set of clothes and into another. Sometimes (at swimming pools) it involves getting naked.
Men wanting to be there too? That’s where the problem lies.
@MalesOfReddit
Boys in Afghanistan don’t have to worry about being killed unless they come out as gay or GNC.
Being born male is a HUGE privilege; the reason so few men and boys “identify” outside sex/gender norms is because the know it’s not safe.
Girls don’t have that option, sadly.
@Creamfacedloon
@KonstantinKisin
Gender dysphoria is real and, like other forms of body dysmorphia, people genuinely suffer.
By allowing those with AGP, fetishes &/or heterosexual narcissists to take centre stage, trans rights activists have (accidentally or not) thrown genuinely trans people under the bus.
@ilovepreserves
Same as my nephew.
Obsessed with breasts to the point of needing to have his own to play with.
No gender dysphoria here, just a desire to live a pornified life 24/7 and not caring what other people think.

No mention of seeking any health intervention or support, even though her distress seems severe & genuine.
The fact she only sought advice “online”, wore binders & met with other “queer” people to help with her mental health issue is typical.
Wonder where she’ll be in 5 years🤔
@KhatKhat40
Get her volunteering at a hospital, child care centre or an aged care home.
Looking after other people, focussing on their needs instead of your own, is a very ‘win-win’ way to help the perennially narcissistic.
@BrittHiggins_
You’re amazing, Brittany. How you’ve maintained the strength to politely respond to these knuckle-draggers without reaching for the veterinary-grade testicle removers is truly a thing of beauty.

@KarrieboKarrie
Again - for those at the back - the problem is MEN!
Where are the “transmen” demanding access to males to perform intimate care regimes?
They don’t exist, because the reason for males transitioning (porn/fantasy/etc) is different to females transitioning (opting out of sexism).
@NovianaSurya
@Trixie_Boo
He wouldn’t receive this reception at another hairdressing salon without vetting them first. And even at this one, they couldn’t risk exposing him to ordinary members of the public. He “washed” the hair of a carefully-vetted staff member
@mscots41
How can you misgender a person when you’re talking TO them?
You only use a person’s pronouns when you’re talking ABOUT them, so they wouldn’t be around to hear it anyway …
@KatyMontgomerie
Except for those women & girls who HAVE been assaulted by trans women.
Because, by head of population, there have been far more “trans women abusers of women & girls” than “women & girl abusers of trans women.”
And if you don’t understand why, see “male pattern violence”.
@letsgetitbetter

@LogicIllustrat
THIS! If they know how awful it feels to be rejected for not being feminine enough, why not find another trans woman and cry on each other’s shoulders?
Why insist on inserting yourselves (literally!) into the lives of real women?

Babies are not aborted late term.
Labor is induced, generally as a result of foetal death, or impending foetal death.
It is an extremely sad and traumatic event for the parents, and has no place in any debate about abortion.

Then they can set up their own support services that are better designed to meet their specific needs.
But we all know that’s not what the activists want.
They need access to natural women.

Welcome to dating.
Not everyone will be into you. Even people whose sexual orientation is the same as yours.
Some people need to grow up and realise that the world doesn’t revolve around them.

#Omicron
is starting to run rampant in his home state, is it responsible for Morrison & his entourage to be flying around the country - especially to states that have managed to keep case numbers low - potentially turning these visits into super spreader events?
#Auspol
Why does Morrison need a “personal photographer”?
Don’t forget that everywhere he goes he’s followed by professional photo-journalists anyway.
Or, at a pinch, he could just use existing staff, like other MPs do.
Did Rudd PM have one?
Gillard?
Abbott?
Turnbull?

You don’t even have to feel like a woman - you just have to SAY you feel like a woman.
Self-ID is a safeguarding nightmare, and anyone who puts the needs of these men above the needs of the women who rightly don’t feel safe are just as culpable every time the inevitable happens
@salltweets
I don’t understand how this position is in any way controversial.
It was just a man doing what men have always done.

I think it’s clear there’s more than professional embarrassment involved.

If you need to compare yourself to a cis woman then you aren’t a woman.

I think he’ll sniff the wind and become a champion for detransitioners.
It will be easy for him because he - conveniently - hasn’t done anything problematically irreversible to himself.
He’ll just double down on being a gay man & just decide that’s who his authentic self is.
