Georgia women get to make decisions about their own bodies and lives again.

A judge in Georgia has struck down the state’s abortion law that has prohibited abortions after six weeks of pregnancy since it took effect in 2022. Georgia’s Life Act was fully nullified by Judge Robert McBurney’s decision, meaning that the state must now allow abortions up to 22 weeks of pregnancy.

The judge wrote in his order that “liberty in Georgia” includes “the power of a woman to control her own body, to decide what happens to it and in it, and to reject state interference with her healthcare choices”.

It’s quite an important liberty, when you think about it.

Gov Kemp’s office criticised the judge’s ruling

But this debate was not really about sport.

The participation of transgender women in sport, as in culture and the arts, in voluntary work, in public life or business, is no barrier to others. (4/6)

Yes it is. Of course it is. Men displace women, and they’re a physical danger to women.

Sport can be a source of health, friendship, & sheer joy.

“The prophet he told us in the hadith”

In August, AbdulRahman Hassan warned wicked women in a talk at the Darussalam mosque in Southall, a charity. If they wear perfume outside the home, they are no better than "fornicators". It's "very dangerous".

He spent almost an hour dictating what women can wear and do.

“a woman should not allowed [sic] to put perfume on if she leaves the house”

Is that so? What if it’s her house, and she lives there without any men? Who’s going to do the not allowing? Will the local mosque be sending parole officers to sniff her for perfume?… Read the rest

Originally a comment by Your Name’s not Bruce? on One rough hour.

Someone who says out loud that he’d love to suspend due process isn’t someone you want to have in power. At all. I’m sure your Founding Fathers had something to say about that. Oh yeah, it’s called THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES, which, in the past, Trump has sworn to defend. Guess it didn’t take. I’m a goddamn foreigner and I know his tiny mind’s little thought experiment is completely illegal, and exactly the sort of abuse of government power the framers were so very keen to prevent when establishing your Republic. They had very different ideas about what would make America “great.” Besides, Trump has … Read the rest

Trump has a plan:

As he often has in the past, Trump complained at the rally that police are “not allowed to do their job” because of political pressure and that crime is rampant in President Joe Biden’s America as a result. (It is not.) And that’s when he proposed his “Purge”-esque solution: If police were allowed “one real rough, nasty” and “violent day,” he said, crime would be eliminated “immediately.” He was taken enough by the proposition that he returned to it later, saying, “One rough hour — and I mean real rough — the word will get out and it will end immediately, you know? It will end immediately.”

A Trump campaign official told Politico

It seems it has started. Four minutes ago:

Explosions can be heard above Tel Aviv and the sound of warning sirens wailing across the city, Israel’s largest urban and economic metropolis.

In Jerusalem, explosions are also being heard, witnesses have told Reuters.

Israeli media is reporting that Iran has launched more than 100 missiles at Israel. It’s unclear whether missiles are hitting home or being intercepted in the sky above the cities. This is a rapidly unfolding, ongoing situation.

The Israeli military is now reporting that sirens are sounding across the country.

The shouters win again.

Note the “We appreciate all feedback on our services, especially from residents who asked us to reconsider holding this program.” Why especially the no-sayers? Why them? Why appreciate them more than the yes-sayers? More pointedly, why especially the fans of magic gender rather than the people who don’t believe in magic gender? Why does team magic win? Why is their feedback “especially”?

Also note that the people of no already had their program last March, and this one was supposed to be the turn of the other point of view. Magic gender had its say, and now disbelief in magic gender has had its say shut down.

Trump is a shameless inveterate liar.

We are now heading to Valdosta, Georgia, in order to pay my respects and bring lots of relief material, including fuel, equipment, water, and other things, to the State. Many politicians and Law Enforcement will be there. We’ll be saying hello to Franklin Graham, Burt Jones, Tyler Harper, Mike Collins, Austin Scott, Russ Goodman, Sam Watson, and the Mayor of Valdosta Scott James. They are working very hard. I was also going to stop into North Carolina, which has really been hit hard. I have a lot of supplies ready for them, but access and communication is now restricted, and we want to make sure that Local Emergency Management is able to focus

Trans man regrets

My name is Tiger Reed. I am a 44-year-old librarian in St. Louis, Missouri. Since 2016, I have been married to Jamie Reed. She is the whistleblower who exposed the alarming effects of “gender-affirming” medical care given to minors at the Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital in a 2023 article for The Free Press. Her story shocked the nation. I am also “Dad” to the five children we are raising together—two from Jamie’s previous marriage and three we have adopted.

And now, after 13 years of living as a man, I am in the process of tapering down my weekly testosterone injections to begin the process of becoming a woman again.

Let’s visit the LGBT page for St Jude’s Primary School (Church of England of course) in Southwark.

 Valuing All God’s Children

LGBT stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender. The “plus” represents other sexual identities.

This is primary school, remember. The youngest kids are 5.

In 2018, almost 250,000 people in London identified as Lesbian, Gay or Bisexual and there are now at least 20,000 children growing up in same-sex parent families. Many children will have or know relatives, family friends or neighbours who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Trans.

Notice how the “Trans” bit is added on. Start with LGB, then when they’re not looking add the T.

It is important to us at St Jude’s that we represent

Yet again…there aren’t enough swears in the universe. Genevieve Gluck tells us:

Reduxx has learned that a man serving a 30-year sentence for the fatal beating of a 55-year old woman has quietly been transferred into New Jersey’s Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women. Elliot Rivera Jr., 35, now calls himself Jamie Belladonna and is described as “female” within the state Department of Corrections (DOC) system.

Rivera’s total prison term amounts to 40 years, to be run concurrently, on the basis of two convictions. In November 2011, he was sentenced to a mandatory minimum term of 30 years for the 2009 murder of Patricia Cantaloupe. In a separate case, Rivera was sentenced to 10 years in prison for carjacking

Guardian headline:

Will Ferrell’s Netflix doc Will & Harper is flawed but vital viewing for cis people

Vital? I really doubt that. It’s not as if we don’t get lectured on the subject enough already.

Let’s admit it: cisgender people are really curious about us trans women.

Ok stop right there. First sentence and already you’re off the rails. No, we really really aren’t. We’ve heard way more than we want to about trans women. I can’t begin to express how much more we’ve heard than we ever wanted to. The only thing we can be described as “curious” about is where the hell do you get the nerve?

They want to know things such as: what’s it like to

The Times (the London one) slobbers all over a man who wants to order up a customized baby for himself. What a shame there are no baby factories.

Oh well then, if famous people can order up luxury babies so can any man.

This god certainly hates women and young girls.

Forcing girls—especially minors—into marriage is crime!

Yet in some countries, such atrocities occur daily, where girls are subjected to physical & mental torture by families & coerced into marriages against their will.

Musk not invited to party.

The world’s richest person, Elon Musk, has hit back [retorted] after not being invited to the UK government’s International Investment Summit. He was not invited due to his social media posts during last month’s riots, the BBC understands.

“I don’t think anyone should go to the UK when they’re releasing convicted pedophiles in order to imprison people for social media posts,” Mr Musk claimed on X. Earlier this month, the government released some prisoners to reduce prison overcrowding, but no-one serving sentences for sex offences were [was] included.

David Yelland, a public relations specialist and former editor of the Sun newspaper, told the BBC that if Mr Musk were to attend the summit,

When reporting becomes incoherent:

A trans woman has been jailed for six and a half years after being found guilty of rape following a night out. Lexi Secker raped a woman in Blunsdon, Wiltshire, on 23 April 2023. The attack took place before Secker began identifying as a woman.

Might as well say the attack took place before Secker began identifying as a potato. His penis doesn’t retroactively disappear once he starts “identifying as” a woman.

Secker, 35, of Lowbourne, near Melksham, has been ordered to carry out her sentence in a male prison and will remain on the sex offenders register indefinitely.

Don’t “respect the pronouns” of men who rape women.

Throughout the sentencing hearing, barristers and the
