unsurprisingly, i will not be supporting taeil or anyone who remains close with him going forward. if there is an attempt to make this about fanwars or similar, i will also disengage. all this is about is the victim and their safety. to make it about anything else is disingenuous, callous, and cruel. morality comes over any kind of gotcha, and to use suffering to justify prior opinions or uplift others will not be tolerated here.

More persecution here in Florida. It was never about women’s safety or the kids.

On This Day in New York City History March 25, 1911: A deadly fire erupted in the Asch Building located on 23-29 Washington Place which led to the deaths of 146 people (123 women and 23 men.)

The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory occupied the 8th, 9th and 10th floors of the Ashe Building. Blocked stairwells and locked exits hindered the attempts for those trapped by the blaze to be rescued and to escape. The only fire escape collapsed due to the weight of those trying to escape the fire. The Fire Department was also hampered by having ladders that reached up to the 6th floor. Many leapt to the deaths trying to escape the flames.

The Sullivan-Hoey Fire Prevention Law was signed in October 1911, which required sprinkler systems to be installed in buildings. The Factory Investigative Committee was also formed whose observations led to 20+ new laws being passed in the areas of building, fire amd workers safety.

With the overwhelming majority of those killed being immigrant women who often worked grueling 50+ hour, six day work weeks, the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union (ILGWU) saw a rise in both membership and prominence.

While tragic, many of the lessons from that day were learned and applied in safer environments for workers today.

Idc who this upsets, but I actually hated the whole forced mask wearing era with a burning passion. As someone with epilepsy which is aggravated by heat, it was absolute hell to have to wear that shit because (and fuck what y’all abled-bodies wanna say) it DOES impact my breathing and make me overheat. And I actually cannot just ‘go get a medical exemption’ because a) they don’t give that shit out like free candy, I had to go pay $500 to a neurologist to get that lil note, and b) I could staple that med cert to my fucking forehead and still get people losing their minds every time I went anywhere without a mask. Everyone like ‘oh disabled people are so terrified of COVID-19 so you should think of them before ragging on masks like this’ as though everyone ain’t already spent the last three decades of my life not giving a singular shit about my disability, but now suddenly want to act like they care about disabled people? Why tf should I care about giving anyone the spicy cough when no one has ever given a fuck how many seizures their actions cause me? Y’all want me to put my own health at risk by wearing this mask, so you don’t get a lil sore throat, when y’all will remain deliberately oblivious to epilepsy and other heat-related illnesses, right up until someone dies, and then you’ll still have a giggle about that too? Way more people be dying every day from heat-related illnesses than from COVID-19, so where’s my mandatory air-conditioning and icepack stations at every street corner? Fuck hand sanitizer stations, provide me a free cold drink. Additionally, mask wearing was the ONLY thing people got this fucking turnt about too. It’s not like any of y’all were social distancing (something which would have actually helped me with my disability lmao). No one was getting booted out of stores for standing on my damn heels every time I had to get in a queue. Anyway, after the first twenty times I got asked to leave a store for not wearing a mask (despite having that magical medical certificate) I made up my own mask by getting four of those ‘valves’, absolutely gutting the inside of them to allow unrestricted airflow, and then stitching them into a linen mask. Still uncomfortable, fo sure, but a lot better than having to deal with hot air on my face and under my sunglasses while already struggling not to pass out in the middle of the Australian summer.

How the trans activists fooled Ireland - UnHerd

Ireland is the trans activists’s trump card. Whenever debate flares up about self-identification or the Gender Recognition Act or transgender rights, campaigners can say “There has never been any trouble in Ireland.” And governments believe them.

The Irish “success story” has been trotted out and swallowed down whole. Ireland was an early adopter of “self-ID”: since 2015 the state has allowed individuals to change their “gender” — their legal sex, effectively — just because they want to. There are no background checks and no medical reports.

Let’s be clear, that is an affront to safeguarding. But that has not stopped activists claiming Ireland to be an example of “international best practice”, and framing it as a great model for Westminster and Holyrood. But while politicians may still be lapping up whatever activists tell them, recent polling suggests that the Irish public is not convinced.

It does not take a legal expert to see the dangers. If biological males can access women’s single-sex spaces including hospital wards and prisons simply by making a statutory declaration, it was only a matter of time before there was an outrage. In fact, there have been at least two in one prison.

Barbie Kardashian is a troubled teenager who was “born a male but identifies as female”, and has a history of particularly nasty physical and sexual violence towards women. Having previously torn the eyelids from a female care worker, Kardashian was jailed last year in the women’s wing of Limerick prison following threats of violence against two individuals. According to the court report, Kardashian was “very anxious she be detained in a prison facility for females, as she identifies as a female”.

Already there was a “pre-operative, pre-hormone therapy”, male-to-female transgender prisoner who had been convicted of ten counts of sexual assault and one count of cruelty against a child.

Whatever Irish politicians had been thinking when they waved through the 2015 Gender Recognition Act, there had not been any proper public debate to inform the new legislation. But that is not surprising; the law was changed swiftly and quietly, just the way the activists like it.

“Nobody spoke about the GRA,” says the Irish writer Stella O’Malley. It wasn’t even mentioned in the media: “We were all about the gay marriage referendum and the GRA just didn’t come up. I’ve always been interested in trans issues and I would have noticed if it had.”

This strategy is straight from an activists’ handbook, or to be precise the “Denton’s Document”. This guidance – officially titled, Only adults? Good practices in legal gender recognition for youth – was published two years ago. Backed by an unlikely triumvirate of Dentons (the world’s largest law firm by number of lawyers), Thomson Reuters Foundation and IGLYO – the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex Youth & Student Organisation – it was an instruction manual for lobbying groups who wanted to extend gender recognition to young people with or without their parents’ permission.

The tactics are detailed in full within the handbook, including the instruction to “avoid excessive press coverage and exposure.” And specific reference was made to Ireland where, “activists have directly lobbied individual politicians and tried to keep press coverage to a minimum.”

O’Malley was right: the events of 2015 had been carefully managed.

“In Ireland, Denmark and Norway, changes to the law on legal gender recognition were put through at the same time as other more popular reforms such as marriage equality legislation. This provided a veil of protection, particularly in Ireland, where marriage equality was strongly supported, but gender identity remained a more difficult issue to win public support for.”

It’s only now, six years on from the Irish Gender Recognition Act, that the public has been consulted. Not by the government, even now, but by The Countess, an Irish campaign to restore the privacy, dignity and safety of women and children in schools, workplaces, sport, changing rooms, toilets, hospitals, prisons and refuges. Opinion polling carried out for them by Red C – found that respondents were not impressed.

Only 17% agreed with the 2015 law that allows someone to change their birth certificate as soon as they self-identify as the opposite sex. Rather more (34%) thought it should be permitted once a trans person has partially or fully transitioned through hormone treatment and/or genital surgery. But 28% felt that individuals should not be allowed to change the sex on their birth certificates at all.

Even younger people (aged 18-34) favoured no changes to birth certificates, as opposed to the laissez-faire approach that was pushed through parliament. Overall, men were more cautious than women — perhaps because they better understand what men can be like.

Birth certificates are the last line of defence for service providers trying to maintain single-sex provision for women. If these can be changed on demand, then the safeguards become worthless. We can probably safely assume that few men would ever seek a Gender Recognition Certificate but mixed in with those suffering from gender dysphoria — a diagnosable medical condition — would be those who women need to worry about most. There’s little point of locking a door if a potential abuser can cut his own key.

As the polls show, while Irish politicians were captured by the transgender activist lobbying, the Irish public understands the dangers. When asked about transgender people who had not been through gender reassignment surgery, more people than not opposed their inclusion in changing rooms, sports, refuges and prisons. Clearly, the naïve government policy that led to the outrage in Limerick women’s prison is not supported by the electorate.

Laoise Uí Aodha de Brún, founder of The Countess said, “This is the first time the public has been given a say on gender self-identification. When the government passed the Gender Recognition Act in 2015 it did so with little thought of the effect it would have on the wider community, let alone consultation with groups that would be most affected, particularly women.”

This does not mean that The Countess and the Irish public are transphobic. Rather they are pro-science, and supportive of the rights of women to defend their own boundaries. As a transgender person myself, I know transphobia when I see it and this is not it. It is not hateful to make factual claims such as “transwomen are not female and therefore not women”, nor is it transphobic to apply safeguarding procedures appropriate to an individual’s biological sex. That is necessary to protect everyone’s welfare. Accusations of transphobia are thrown around far too easily and they deflect attention from genuine hate.

Unfortunately, though, the Irish self-identification “success story” has been misrepresented and disseminated by activists who are desperate to extend it far and wide. On this side of the Irish sea, the Westminster government has, to their credit, thrown out self-identification, despite the howls of protest from some quarters — but gender recognition is a devolved matter. North of the border, Nicola Sturgeon’s SNP government seems determined to make the same mistakes as the Irish one, despite the furore surrounding the debate. Scotland has already cited alignment with “international best practice” as a rationale for introducing self-identification, using Ireland as an example.

All these leaders have been hoodwinked by a narrow group of self-interested activists who have seized the agenda and are loath to let go. I’m a teacher and my pupils are taught to think critically. Some of our politicians need to learn a similar lesson. Instead of following blindly, then need to start asking themselves some hard questions. I suggest they kick off with “Who told us that self-ID was international best practice and why did we believe them?” Because this polling suggests that their electorates would like some answers.

     I need to discuss this later on since blowing up the kitchen with a duck inspired it. Though Sayuri was raised by her Auntie Hatsuko; it was not an environment that she could have thrived in. The controversy surrounding the current Matriarch to the Kobayashi Clan is warranted, Hatsuko is selfish, vain, and arrogant. While she fiercely provides for her family, she is no position to protect them, hence there is hushed chatter on how they are currently vulnerable to political sabotage. Since she is a Tayu, her individualism stands out in their world that adheres strictly to conform, even Sayuri has vocalized; she does not think of the repercussions only acts. Hatsuko was not able to foster a sense of stability for Sayuri who is someone that needs to feel safe. Though she sought to free her from constraints by gifting the young girl Tsukuyomi's mirror, she did curse her, while her intentions were noble they were still cruel as she pushed her onto a path of hardship. This is also why Sayuri is one of very few Kobayashi women to be considered a wayward daughter, she is a stray which is unheard of, even a wildcard which places the blame on Hatsuko. They both love one another like mother && daughter, but, there is a varying degree of hurt that stems from culture && tradition. 

        In one ending for Sayuri's story; she does become the head of the Kobayashi Clan, leading them into an age underneath the wisdom of the moon, she is regaled with high honor for her unity && binding aspect. Then, one can even attest both women act out in their own grief as one lost the person she loved deeply while the other was forbidden from owning her heart. While Hatsuko is viewed negatively within Kyoto, her redeeming aspect is that she truly loves Sayuri, thus her nickname 'usagi' for how small the girl was. She expects no one, not even her daughter to understand her, in her heart she believed that granting access to Tsukuyomi was the only way to stop an endless cycle of suffering.

REALLY been contemplating making a side blog or three to address some major issues head on!

1- Broken Masculinity & the Simpdon Syndrome

This one is one I am VERY MUCH wanting to do to address the growing pandemic of porn addicted men, the rising number of Gooners, SIMPs, The Cuck disorder, and other nonsensical XXX tropes that a lot of men seem to be obsessed with that are just in all honesty just fucking stupid and WAY overdone!

Note: some of this 💩 is imo why so many men nowadays are weird AF and/or creepy AF!

Note 2: and yes...I will be making fun of cucks & Gooners/chronic masturbators here and there 🤷‍♂️

2- still working out the approach and name... but basically a blog dedicated to my own research and monitoring of my pre-teen's online presence and the dangers as a parent should be made aware of! Also, alarming spaces that I have been made aware of within said spaces!

3- a blog dedicated to promoting ALL the reasons why women need protection and not MORE predators! I am VERY BIG on this issue and this is a third side blog that I am also currently working the details/post types out for! Blog 1 does tie in with this one!..

........

Stay tuned and follow for upcoming info!
