Does that ruling means that people with penises will no longer be able to change in girls' locker rooms?

how is this a troll? People with Penises is just like saying a person with a uterus. There's nothing transphobic about it. 

Inferring blood alcohol content vs inferring transphobia. Retardera mods can do it all.

Women can have penises. I really wish Era moderation understood this.

No one said anything about "going back to where they came from" why would you even bring that up if you're trying to discuss this in good faith? Literally no one serious on this issue thinks that is part of the solution. Go get new talking points, you're not fooling anyone with this bullshit.

What do you think the "Israel shouldn't exist" talking point means? People will not disappear along with the country, you know?

What do they think, "From the river to the sea" means? 

No one is going back to where they came from because it literally means driving them into the ocean to drown.

Labour have announced a national trans bathroom ban to be put in place by the summer. They're also ordering that the 'NHS must update its guidance on single-sex wards based on biological sex'.

Labour have done no such thing. The Equality and Human Rights Commission, an arms length public body, are going to update its guidance on these matters, which is absolutely bad news. When that guidance comes out we can respond to it then, and see what happens.

Your deliberate spreading of misinformation at a time of fear and worry for many trans people helps no one, is disingenuous and frankly disgusting behaviour.

Just casually dropping misinformation with no source in a sensitive thread.

Using a moment of fear and crisis to score points against the politicians you don't like with dangerously false information is pretty low dontcha think?

The same users as usual have the same goals of making sure to defend Labour at all cost, even at pain of their own personal rights. They're going to try to run you out of this forum, never an ally for trans people when it gets down to it, for having the gall to say something about it and will look for the tiniest opening to dogpile you and use weasel words to hide behind. They could easily offer you the benefit of the doubt but they won't, as you've seen already.

Don't let them get to you.

The fucking nerve to say this when actual trans women were commenting on it.

In fact, I don't give a shit anymore, go fuck yourself telling trans people they're defending a party putting us through fucking hell, are not allies for our own community, running people out of the forum, and hide behind "weasel words" just because they do not want misinformation to be spread in a terrifying and sensitive time. One of the slimiest and disgusting fucking comments I've ever read on this site. I've genuinely never been so angry reading a post here.

The gall to say this about a trans woman directly dealing with the consequences of this...

It is disappointing to see people here who do not understand what Zionism actually means, and why there is a Jewish state in the world today

Netanyahu, the IDF, and the West Bank settlers are responsible for the genocide of the Palestinian people, and their enablers in Israel and around the world are also to blame. But not recognizing Israel's right to simply exist is one of the reasons why the conflict is still going on

I kinda feel bad for Ethan and Hila... I don't always agree with their opinions, but some of the vitriol they got since October 7th from so-called leftists is straight up Nazism - which is ironic and sad at the same time

The people defending Israel's right to exist, or denouncing the crimes perpetrated by Hamas... I'm sorry, but they're not "genocide apologists"

I'm not saying both sides of the conflict have "equivalent" guilt in what's going on, but someone has to talk about those other issues too. People shouldn't be offended by that

And I don't mind dismissing me as a burner just because you don't agree with me. When everyone thinks the same (or are allowed to think only the same) there is no debate

Going to be permed.

90s UK games journalism was unhinged

Oh, cool, a thread on a gaming forum to talk nostalgically about a formative period when the games media was fun and had personality, and games were actually interesting.

Oh yeah the sexism and objectification of that era would have people open-mouthed in shock these days. It was rife.

And people wonder where "gamers" came from.....

reads a little racist!

That right there is what I still point to as encapsulating everything wrong with 90's shitass attitudes in and around gaming that doesn't include racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. (because you need a tapestry of this crap to capture all of that)

Anyone nostalgic for this era of games-media gets the side eye.

So... yeah fuck this racist review and fuck anyone saying we need anything like it back.

Yeah, quite a bit of "I can excuse the racism." going on in this thread.

Are we seriously trying to cancel someone for a JRPG review they did over 25 years ago?

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

Yes, the review is garbage.

[Jansen]

Ya know, I think I'm starting to understand Luigi more

[Boredfrom]

It has been clear for a while that things were going to get worse before they got better, but I cannot believe how quickly things have gotten worse or how much worse they have gotten. I was worried about yesterday's ruling, but the balance of expert opinions I'd read felt it would go the other way. It is now clear that the political establishment, the medical establishment, the media and the legal establishment are aligned.

Even if the current government collapsed to be replaced by something better, it would only be the beginning of an uphill battle. It wouldn't stop the media from publishing over a thousand anti trans articles a year (it would somehow exacerbate it). It wouldn't change the fact our courts are filled with old out-of-touch white aristocrats. It would take years to replace the army of transphobes that have been appointed in the NHS and throughout quasi independent regulators. The Cass Review can't just be tossed in the shredder -- you'd need a new review to replace it and some kind of process to trigger that review.

Every step of this would be tremendously controversial. The media environment is so relentlessly hostile and it would become more so if the government wasn't on side. We'd return to every minister having to answer tedious gotchas about penises. A government trying to pass legislation to fix the mess left by this ignorant Supreme Court ruling is going to be accused of endangering women. A government working to undo the damage Cass has wrought on the NHS is going to be accused of endangering children. The media and opposition attacks will be utterly relentless and they will be effective. It doesn't matter what the truth is when the media is so determined and so capable of distorting it. The broad societal ignorance of trans people, the elevation of gender critical voices and commensurate suppression of trans voices allows transphobes total control over the narrative.

Even the MPs that are most outspoken in favour of trans rights are struggling against the tide. A few weeks back Carla Denyer was answering callers on LBC and some kind of 'what is a woman' question arose. Her answer wasn't bad, but the host (who is a Tory ex-Spad, because of course he is) pounced on her after which she was very much on the back foot. It is so rare to hear politicians handle such questions competently or confidently. For a long time it's felt like there is a playbook adhered to by anti-trans journalists that pro-trans politicians can't handle. Regardless, the Greens are comfortably the best we've got. The Lib Dems are aggressively sitting on the fence, the SNP sans Nicola Sturgeon appears to be fully capitulating. Sturgeon's words from a month ago ring especially true today: our society will look back with shame at the way trans people have been vilified. Realistically, given yesterday's ruling and the pace at which ideologues are going to (illegally) use this ruling to inflict damage on trans people, the vilification Sturgeon refers to will be just the tip of the iceberg.

I'm not sure I've ever felt as ashamed of my country as I do right now. Hearing trans people here and elsewhere contemplating fleeing the country is sickening, and I don't blame anyone that decides to get out. You don't deserve what this country is doing to you. We haven't earned the right to expect you to stay.

There is an enormous amount to do to fix this, and while I have complete faith that it will be fixed, this needn't take fifteen years like with Section 28. I've been finding ways to support trans causes lately, but I can and will do more. We do need better politicians in power, but it's not enough. We need more trans voices and pro-trans voices in the media. We need doctors and researchers who aren't scared to stick their heads above the parapet and speak out against Cass and Streeting. We need money to fund the legal fights to come.

Admitting the medical community no longer entertaining them.  

Now they need to search for quack doctors to tell others what they want to hear.  

How is this different from RFK?

That wasn't my intent and I've edited the post to remove that part. It was more about showing that if that was the same guy, the industry back then seemingly rewarded that kind of attitude in reviews.

To avoid any accidental witch hunting could you also remove that part of my post from your quotes. Again, apologies that genuinely wasnt my intent.

This reminds me of when I was in 7th grade we did debates. I volunteered for the bad side because someone had to. But then people were asking me why I thought women shouldn't be allowed to vote. And it's like, I do think women should be able to vote! I'm not debating as me. Anyway, all my talking points were form the 1920s so I was saying ridiculous things about brain size and such.

Oh really, what was that not bad answer? Because if it wasn’t a simple answer, it wasn’t good.

Here, let me help:

I trust someone to be an expert in their own gender. If they have been living as a woman for 15 years…

The pouncing question:

What does that mean, living as a woman?

Which she proceeds to sputter and trip over words to answer. 

Because this is all semantic alchemy attempting to upend basic biology.

I love in that he even he offers suggestions she almost goes with before shooting them down (dresses, makeup, etc.). 

This is what happens when you have zero criteria at all for your group. Absolutely none. Trans activists literally have zero criteria for accepting someone as trans. They don’t need a doctor’s note, they don’t need a letter, they don’t need a biological condition, a form, or anything. The shoot they worked themselves into is the whole ‘we’ve always been women’. Because “woman” does have a definition, as does “man”. And they are immutable. 

In this context, where ‘lived experience’ is taken as reality, Denver’s answer makes sense as in that’s what their answer would be. Problem is despite the old saying, perception is not reality. It can be belief, but not reality.

EDIT: I’d love to hear Rodelero or any other ERA’s posters definition for a woman. Though in the end, I know what they’d opt for.
