What do you mean, the saying is, “as mad as a March hare”, not “fish”? Don’t you know? It identifies as a fish.
Hares are considered mad in March, because they exhibit excited, crazy behaviour during their breeding season. These days, biological sex matters for aught, so the hare may as well be a fish.
Here’s a round-up of some gender mayhem this March:
1. On International Women’s Day, the Vagina Museum decided to share stories about trans women in history. It turned Twitter replies off because “some people would prefer these stories to be erased and silenced”, ironically erasing potential replies and silencing respondents instead. After all, it is better to silence uppity women.
The stories that followed were genuinely fascinating.
They were so fascinating that they couldn’t be delayed until International Transgender Day of Visibility on the 31st March.
2. Lia Thomas won the NCAA Women’s 500y Freestyle. Thomas is the first transgender athlete to win a Division I national championship in any sport in the US. ESPN reports that the crowd cheered for each of the swimmers but was quiet for Thomas’s introduction and noticeably muted when Thomas was announced champion.
When asked about being in the spotlight, Thomas answered: “I try to ignore it as much as I can.” Along with those sex-based physical advantages…
3. An NHS hospital told police that a patient could not not have been raped because “there was no male in the hospital, therefore the rape could not have happened”. The woman victim came close to a nervous breakdown because of being disbelieved, the Telegraph reports, adding insult to the injury of the rape. Lucky for her, there was CCTV footage.
4. On International Women’s Day, Lisa Townsend, the Surrey Police and Crime Commissioner, was reprimanded by the Surrey police and crime panel’s complaints sub-committee, including local MP Crispin Blunt for not being “dignified or respectful” to trans people. Her crime? She retweeted JK Rowling:
Townsend told Crispin Blunt:
“Crispin, I’m going to be honest. I’m getting a little bit fed up with middle-aged men telling me I can’t speak about what, for me, is a women’s rights issue and is something constituents are writing to me about.”
Lisa hasn’t quite got the hang of this woman business. If a lady is reprimanded for retweeting the Queen of TERFs the correct response, is “Yes Sir, Sorry Sir.” Hopefully she has learnt her lesson after this timely rebuke on International Women’s Day.
5. Surveillance footage in New York showed a woman riding an electric wheelchair while sitting on a human leg. The woman has been charged with second degree murder and, it turns out, previously spent more than 50 years in prison for killing two women.
The BBC report of this gruesome and barbaric murder ended with the line, “She now identifies as a transgender woman.” That line now seems to have been removed from the article.
6. Two Labour frontbenchers, Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and Shadow Minister for Women Anneliese Dodds, were unable to define what a woman is. Toddlers can handle this question better than politicians.
