As the controversy over trans rights trampling women’s rights continues, the media-political left are making their allegiances clear: sorry, girls, you lose. Women — real women — your only option is to shut up and know your place.

Independent NSW MP Alex Greenwich has called for an end to the “culture war” over transgender women’s participation in sport as both sides of the political debate claim they have been threatened with violence and referred the allegations to police.

The national peak body for LGBTQ+ health and wellbeing has warned the public conversation sparked by controversial comments from Liberal Party Warringah candidate Katherine Deves is harming transgender and gender-diverse people, particularly trans women.

By “trans women”, of course, they mean “men”. This is where the “progressive” left is at: the hurty feelings of mentally confused men are all that matters. Women just have to shut up and ignore the swinging dicks in their private spaces.

Its national hotline QLife has experienced a 19 per cent increase in calls to its support service since the election started, including a 53 per cent spike on days when there is significant media coverage of Deves’ views on LGBTQ+ issues.

Greenwich, the NSW MP for Sydney, said he had made a report to NSW Police about social media messages that threatened to “bash LGBTQ freaks” and called him a “piece of shit” for his stance supporting transgender people.

Are these like the so-called “transphobic attacks” on a Victorian far-left politician’s “daughter” which, despite all the hype, turned out on investigation to not be anything of the kind? Or the “homophobic hate” posters in Melbourne that no-one could actually find?

Forgive my scepticism, but we’ve seen too much of this cry-bully garbage to be taken in so easily again. Tranny activists are the classic bully who shouts and screams at everyone and then bursts into tears at the mildest remonstration in return.

On the other hand, the propensity of trannies to explode into violent rage at actual women is well-documented. Just ask J. K. Rowling, or, indeed, Katherine Deves.

On Sunday, Deves said she’d been targeted by death threats as she spoke publicly for the first time since her inflammatory comments about transgender people and LGBTQ issues ignited a media storm on the issue.

Deves told public broadcaster SBS News in an interview aired on Sunday night that her family had left Sydney due to threats to her safety. “I have had to have the police and the AFP [Australian Federal Police] involved,” Deves said […]

Greenwich told The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age that the comments made to him were deeply distressing but “nothing compared to what trans people, especially trans youth, experience on a daily basis”.

This is an extraordinary claim — but don’t hold your breath waiting for evidence to support it. In fact, “trans” people are at far less risk of fatal violence than the general community.

Indeed, as the “Trans Day of Remembrance” discovered, to their embarrassment, finding “trans” people in Australia who’d actually been victimised on account of their “gender identity” is rather difficult — because there aren’t any. As US scholar Wilfred Reilly has documented, almost the only thing “trans” people are victims of are their own mental instability and poor lifestyle choices.

LGBTIQ+ Health Australia chief executive Nicky Bath said trans and gender diverse people were not political footballs.

No, that’s women’s place.

About time you learned it, ladies. The men in dresses are in charge and don’t you forget it.
