Gender critical doesn't mean 'hates trans' - it refers to a position arising from feminist analysis of patriarchally constructed behavioural expectations imposed according to sex and weaponised to maintain male supremacy.

A reminder worth repeating.
Lesbians have known this for a long time. There is no wrong way to be a girl or a boy. Masculine girls and feminine boys are not in the wrong body, and they don’t need fixing.
This is what I wish every child heard growing up. 💜

So many of you have tagged me on this lovely video this week. It’s a powerful reminder that young children are born problem solvers. What a little genius.
But who I really want to call attention to is someone not shown in this video at all: Mom. It’s her patience and confidence that enabled all the great things we see here.
Were she to have intervened prematurely, our hero wouldn’t have had the opportunity to work this problem out the way she ultimately did.
As the caption notes sometimes the hardest part of being a parent is resisting the urge to step in and remove any source of friction for your child. That doesn’t mean you never intervene… but this is a textbook case of when not to.
Here, her daughter is actively and patiently working on a solution. Her expression isn’t one of frustration… it’s one of determination. And the answer is right there in front of her… getting closer with each failed attempt.
So here’s a good rule of thumb: sit back when appropriate.
Intervene immediately if your child is in danger, of course. Intervene before long if the task at hand is simply beyond your toddler’s current ability… but know that the magic happens right on the edge of what’s possible.
So in instances like this, allow your child the latitude to work things out. You might be surprised at the amazing results.
Lastly, but importantly, not one of the posts I’ve been tagged on has credited the actual creator of this video - Deddeh Howard on Instagram. This often happens when things go viral, but I work hard to ensure proper attribution of the content I share here. The child development commentaries are mine, but the video content is theirs. Thanks to Deddeh for this wonderful video and kudos on this A+ “momming.”
My thoughts are with @helenhainesindi following the deliberate attempt on her life.
Male violence against women, epitomised in Nugent's brutal attack, is a shameful indictment on the misogyny poisoning our country. Until women are recognised in law our rights remain unprotected.

No matter how hard you try and explain, educate, open my mind, call me names, slur me, cancel me, go after my other friends or my family, I am not going to make my daughter call your son a girl. I’m not going to make my son call your daughter a boy. Our family does not believe in gendered souls, gendered essence, gendered feelings, gender ideology or gender identity. And I promise you- you won’t make us hate you, want to harm you or exclude you from any or every other place where biological sex doesn’t matter. We will be kind and treat you all with respect but we have a firm line about where reality meets belief and for their wellbeing I feel they must be raised in truth, tethered to reality at all times. They must know the limitations of the human body and what modern medicine can do and what other people are expected to surrender to this modern doctrine that has made its way, without our consent into all secular spaces. No child is born in the wrong body, no child benefits from everyone around them lying to them about what they know to be true. Women and girls aren’t feelings or identities or costumes. Trans identifying people are real but it’s not the right of them to compel 100% of the people and society around them to treat them as someone they categorically are not.

Words like woman, mother, female and sex describe things that matter in the real world.
We need language that allows us to talk clearly about pregnancy, menstruation, sex-based discrimination and women’s health.
We can discuss how to treat individuals respectfully without making it impossible to describe female biology accurately.
Clear language matters. Particularly when people’s rights depend on it.

As a lesbian, I’ve never felt more violated than I have over the last 6 years. Every female corner of the internet, every female-only space, anything female-specific, there’s men there… men everywhere I turn, men “identifying” as women and completely violating our boundaries

If your parents are telling you you were born in the wrong body
you were born in the wrong house

I just want to remind everyone that 88% of trans inmates in Canada are sex offenders. Only 11% of Canada’s non-trans male inmates are sex offenders, by the way, so we’re talking about a group of men who are literally 8x more likely to be sex offenders than the general male prison population. That’s who the Canadian government has decided to put in cells with some of the country’s most vulnerable women.
If you think that this predilection for sexual offending doesn’t also carry over to the non-incarcerated trans population, I’m afraid I’m going to have to ask you to put down the crack pipe, because only a crackhead could seriously believe that.
Trans-identifying men are paraphiliacs, and paraphiliacs are some of the most dangerous men on the planet. Studies have found a 20% rate of transvestism in sexually sadistic criminals, and a 40% rate of transvestism in sexually sadistic murderers. One study found the rate of transvestism in sexually motivated killers to be as high as 54%, and everyone reputable who has seriously studied the subject has found a high frequency of genital and gender dysphoria in the perpetrators of sexually motivated violence, with an even higher frequency among sexually motivated murderers.
In short, these men are dangerous, and the ones who are incarcerated are the absolute last people who should ever be locked in cells with women.

“‘Trans Rights are Human Rights’ has no content. It is vague. There are a huge variety of rights. Some are not contested at all and some are. But asserting your right to change your sex with no conditions attached is not a human right.”

“Instead of changing the person’s legal sex, the guide could have simply sought to protect people from harm triggered by the difference between their legal sex and their appearance on the basis of their presentation.”

“I simply took it for granted that the demands being made on behalf of the transgender-rights movement were reasonable.”
It astounds me how far this issue has gotten. Women’s rights weren’t considered. Adolescent development wasn’t considered. No debate.

Let’s not beat around the bush: kids are being harmed by gender transition medicine. 🚨
Telling little girls they can become boys and little boys they can become girls isn’t harmless.
England’s landmark Cass Review warned that socially transitioning a child is not neutral as many claim. It can deepen confusion and set kids on a path toward drugs and surgery.
The reality of “gender-affirming care” hides behind a bunch of tame sounding euphemisms: 🚩
➡️ “Gender-affirming hormones” mean a lifetime of the opposite sex’s hormones. Testosterone can thicken the blood, raising the risk of clots, heart attack, and stroke. Estrogen roughly doubles the risk of dangerous blood clots. Both can cause infertility. (HHS Pediatric Gender Dysphoria Review, 2025)
➡️ “Top surgery” is a double mastectomy. Healthy breasts are cut off, permanently removing the ability to breastfeed. (JAMA Pediatrics, 2022)
➡️ “Bottom surgery” means removing healthy genitals and building imitation ones from skin and tissue taken from the forearm, thigh, or the genitals themselves. Complications are common, and many patients need multiple surgeries. (HHS Pediatric Gender Dysphoria Review, 2025)
Gender ideology confuses children, affirms their distress instead of treating it, and leads to irreversible harm.
Let’s not forget it. 🚫

10,000 identical exchanges on X this week:
TRA: “Women wouldn’t like trans men on female-only wards.”
Women: “No, we wouldn’t mind. They’re women after all.”
TRA: “You would mind!”
Women: “Not really.”
TRA: “But you have to mind, otherwise we’ve got nothing.”
Women: “Oh well.”

I’ve always found it deeply ironic that feminism spent decades telling women:
You don’t have to be feminine.
You don’t have to wear dresses.
You don’t have to like makeup.
You don’t have to be nurturing.
You don’t have to behave a certain way.
And now we’re told “woman” is a gender identity defined largely by someone’s relationship to those very stereotypes.
We fought against this shit.
Why is society trying to rebuild it? We say no.

The Prime Minister’s view on MALES IN FEMALE SPORTS Whatever the sporting codes say it is! 🏉⚽️🏏
@AlboMP told Piers Morgan that biological males in female sport “aren’t front and centre”, adding that none of these issues ever came up when his son played junior soccer, Australian rules and cricket, and that sporting codes should simply “deal with it.” They haven’t. 🙅♀️🙅♀️
At both community and elite levels, @AFL , @FootballAUS and @CricketAus have created pathways for biological males to compete in female categories, prioritising gender identity over female fairness and safety. 🥇🏃♀️
These policies follow frameworks set by the Sex Discrimination Act and @AusHumanRights guidelines. Minister for Sport Anika Wells MP has reinforced this approach, indicating under @ausport guidance that there “aren’t classes” and each sport must be assessed individually rather than confirming a clear exemption for female-only categories. 🧬
When both the Prime Minister and the Minister for Sport deflect, girls and women lose fair and safe competition. Women’s Rights Network Australia continues to call for the restoration of sex-based rights in sport.

This is the level of dismissive misogyny women and girls are subjected to in Australia 2026 - men wielding their power, telling us our consideration, inclusion, safety and dignity do not matter.
I expected more from my @AustralianLabor party. I expected human rights.

This is exactly the amount of thinking the average trans activist has done about the subject.
This is why the TQ and their supporters are a cult and you can’t reason with them. Connie Shaw has a respectful chat with this man and snookers him and he agrees and then more or less says bad luck males should be able to invade all female spaces. He’s a vile misoginist prick and no better than the sex mimics.
