Speaking at the British Science Festival, which is taking place in Swansea, she said: “There is no such thing as a male or female brain.
"There is no one aspect of the brain even which if a scientist looked at it they could tell whether it came from a man or a woman.
"We shouldn’t be talking about sex differences in the brain. The brain is a mosaic and every brain is different for every individual.
"Using our neuroscience resources to measure differences is actually a waste of time. It’s more interesting to see what makes individual brains different.”
Prof Rippon believes that studies claiming differences between males and females are due to cultural and environmental factors.
She said that women become “wired” for multi-tasking not because of anything innate, but because that is what society expects of them.
And Prof Rippon said that the segregation between girls and boys even occurs from a young age – with them being given different toys to play with and different books to read – and that could change the way in which their brains develop.
She told an audience at Swansea University that boys’ toys can often be more training-based while girls’ toys are more nurturing.
“I’d say to the scientific community, can we please stop talking about sex? Stop dividing your data into two categories, you are losing so much information,” Prof Rippon said.
“Not only are we feeding the ‘neuro-trash’ industry misunderstanding about what we do, but we are also feeding the inner wimp of people out there who believe that they can or can’t do something based on whether they are male or female.”

I’m not sure what Dirt hopes to accomplish by combing through Maria Catt’s/Carrie Callahan’s social media presence over the past several years looking for “discrepancies” in her story. When you transition and then stop, a big part of that is a profound series of changes in how you understand yourself and your life. It shouldn’t be a big shock that there are conflicting narratives in a detransitioned woman’s account of how she understands herself and where she understands herself belonging over a period of years. That’s kinda the whole point.
Anyway, I know Carrie offline, IRL, and she’s the real deal. She definitely, really, truly, without a doubt started medically transitioning and then stopped. I am grateful and honored to have witnessed, face to face and heart to heart, parts of her life when she was in deep self-discovery and in the throes of those changes. She’s been pretty clear and open that some of the ways transition changed her are painful and difficult. And I’m not sure why someone would choose to poke at those places for sport. Likewise, I’m not sure why anyone thinks violence and love can’t coexist in the same family. I’m really not getting what the “gotcha” is supposed to consist of here–or what the significance is supposed to be.
Regardless, I know Carrie to be a woman of integrity and mega ovaries in terms of laying bare some vulnerable truths about her life–which is a whole, full, messy, rich life, not reducible to soundbites or easily contained in fundamentalist frameworks of any kind. I am proud to call her a friend and she’s well loved and supported by many other lesbian feminists and separatists, too–she doesn’t have to be a lesbian herself to belong among us in her own right. She’s a force of nature who does so much for other women–an amazon. She’s one of us, she’s with us, and we’re all right behind her.
Thank you for this post Redress Alert.
Solidarity with Carey/Maria Catt. What she’s doing is incredibly important for so many women and beyond just individual women. What Dirt is doing says everything you need to know about Dirt and nothing about Carey. Read, watch, follow, and support this amazing woman. https://mariacatt.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAq3K9og-W3Hko8UzYxOpew/videos https://twitter.com/catt_bear/

Anonymous asked:
Hi Helen! I've been in touch with Miranda. She suggested that I contact you directly in order to pick up on your statement that "'Trans women are women' is a vicious and dangerous lie." Two questions (for starters) are "how do you define a woman" and "how do you define a transwomen". I do empathise with much of what you wrote, but I get bogged down with terminology that gets conflated and means different things to different people.
Thanksfor asking this. I think that they are really important questions. On thesurface they seem quite simple questions but once you start to look at theimplications we can start to understand what the real issues might be.
Yourfirst question is about the definition of woman. A good place to start withdefinitions is usually the dictionary.
“womannounAn adult human female.”
I don’tthink that the definitions of human or adult are in contention, but let’s lookat the dictionary definition of female.
“femalenounOf ordenoting the sex that can bear offspring or produce eggs, distinguishedbiologically by the production of gametes (ova) which can be fertilized by malegametes.”
We couldjust leave it there, and some people would like us to, but I think that doesn’tanswer you question and wouldn’t help us to understand why these arecontentious words.
The wordsman and woman are imbued with social connotation.
“imbueverbinspireor permeate with (a feeling or quality).”
“connotation. nounan ideaor feeling which a word invokes for a person in addition to its literal orprimary meaning.”
In oursociety the words ‘man’ and ‘woman’ mean so much more than their literalmeanings. The word ‘woman’ is imbued with what we understand women to be inrelation to our culture and our social environment.
We livein a society where we have very distinct expectations of what men and women areexpected to be. We have commonly accepted rules for what are consideredacceptable and unacceptable behaviours for men and women.
So whatis gender? Well here is where it starts to get tricky because even just lookingat dictionary definitions we seem to get into a bit of a mess.
“gendernoun
- The members of one or other sex
- The state of being male or female (typically used with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones).
- The behavioural, cultural, or psychological traits typically associated with one sex”
The firstdefinition isn’t really very helpful as it is just the same as sex.
Thesecond definition is a bit of a mess and actually encapsulates the confusionthat we often get into. If ‘female’ denotes the sex that can bear offspring orproduce eggs how can the state of being female have anything to do with socialdifferences rather than biological differences. It’s a contradiction in terms.
The thirddefinition I think pretty much nails it and that is what I mean if I refer togender from now on.
Ok. Stillwith me? Good. So armed with this we know that the dictionary definition of ‘woman’is an adult human female, but it has connotations of gender i.e. it invokes theidea of the behavioural, cultural, or psychological traits typically associatedwith females.
In thissense it is quite easy to define gender identity and transgender (and apologiesin advance for the repetition that is coming)
“GenderIdentity is how a person identifies with the behavioural, cultural, orpsychological traits typically associated with one sex.”
“Transgenderis used to describe a person of one sex who identifies with the behavioural,cultural, or psychological traits typically associated with the opposite sex.”
“A transwomanis a male who identifies with the behavioural, cultural, or psychologicaltraits typically associated with females.”
That lastsentence is probably quite provocative, but it isn’t meant to be. I understandthat saying that a transwoman is male hurts a lot of trans people and Iunderstand why. But it isn’t meant to hurt. It’s a rational and honest way ofdescribing the situation. Of course there is merit in deconstructing thisfurther and stopping to explore why it hurts so much, but that would be a wholepost in itself. We could also explore the fact that the experiences of sometranswomen feels like so much more than identifying with certain traits andit’s a feeling that the whole body is wrong and that this totally ignores thefeeling of body dysphoria. These are valid points for discussion also.
Now ifeverybody agreed on these definitions of gender identity and transwoman wecould stop here, but actually these definitions are problematic to differentgroups in different ways.
The transcommunity has adopted the mantra that “transwomen are women” and of coursepromotes any scientific evidence that suggests that there are physiologicalfactors in play and rejects any scientific evidence that there aren’t anyinherent differences between male and female brains. “Transwomen are women”makes sense in the context that we live in a society which is heavily based ongender and so we are more closely aligned with the superficial traitsassociated with females than those associated with males and seek to integratewith that social group. The argument is that trans people just want to be freeto get on with their lives without rejection or stigma and so the tolerant andcompassionate thing to do is to accept us as women. It is how we identify andhow we attempt to live.
However,the feminist community rightly points out that women have been oppressed for millennianot because of their ‘gender identity’, but because of their sexual andreproductive capacity as females. Feminists, especially radical feminists arealso opposed to the concept of “lady brain” as this has been used as ajustification for the oppression of females and instead assert that male andfemale brain function is inherently the same, and that any differences are aresult of socialisation. This community tends to reject that the scientific evidence presented of measurable differences between female and male brain function is evidence that the differences are innate rather than socialised. Instead they pointto the growing evidence that there are no real differences.
Animportant point is also that radical feminists see gender (as described in thethird definition above) as being a tool of oppression. The traits andbehaviours expected of males and females places women (as a class) in aposition of being subjugated by men (as a class). As a result many adopt aposition of gender abolition and believe that the emancipation of women canonly be achieved through abolishing the rules that constrain the acceptablebehaviours of males and females.
So we cansee how these two viewpoints conflict.
Gender abolitionists want to break the association betweensex and behavioural,cultural, or psychological traits and so find the implication that women aredefined by these things as both insulting and regressive. Hence they reject theassertion that males who identify with these traits are women as thatreinforces the association that they reject.
Having spent years thinking about these things and exploring them, Ibelieve that the aims of gender abolition actually serve women and transwomenequally. Both sides want the same thing. That we can all be free to not conformto the behaviours and traits assigned to us because of our genitals.
As a result, whilst I can see how “transwomen are women” makes sensewith reference to cultural norms, I support gender abolition as a cause thatbetter serves women and transwomen and so I don’t believe it’s necessary toconsider transwomen to be a subset of women in order to support us and free usfrom constraints and stigma.

You know what’s really cute?
When Neil Armstrong was attempting to land on the moon, he couldn’t do it. He was flying long, out of fuel, landing in an unsurveyed patch of the Marea and rocketing past boulders the size of houses that could shred his little aluminum foil lunar schooner to tinsel, with no guidance equipment because he’d shorted out the computer –
And he called Steve Bales, GUIDO for 11 and asked him, “what do I do?!” And Steve Bales had no fucking clue, so he called the computer programmer and designer and asked, “what do we do?!”
And Margaret Hamilton said, “grow a pair and fly your plane, I’ll give you the math” and that’s how humanity landed on the moon.
If it weren’t for Margaret Hamilton, and women like her, there wouldn’t BE a space programme.

Lol mother fucker would of been toast if Hamilton wasn’t around

Let’s put it this way:
If Margaret Hamilton hadn’t pulled off a Hail Mary pass, there’d be a little Aldrin and Armstrong Astronaut Smear on a space rock somewhere, but I’m sure they’d name a highway after them or something.

Dedicated to the MD who called us hospital nurses “glorified babysitters.”
without nurses, every fucking patient a doctor cared for would die. doctors don’t know how to handle medications except for prescribing it (they don’t know how to mix it to the right dosage/concentration etc.), they often can’t handle the technical stuff and at least where i live and work, they can’t put in an i.v. when doctors treat nurses like that, i almost wish all nurses would stop helping them for a shift and see how that works out for doc, but all their patients would die so they don’t.
Every person who has ever been a patient in a hospital, or had a loved one as a patient, knows that it’s the nurses and other hands-on caregivers who do the hour by hour work of treating and comforting the sick. From simply making a patient more comfortable physically and emotionally all the way to the complexity of that photo, the nurses and technicians do 95% of the work.

Some thoughts on my past libfem life
When I was a liberal feminist I didn’t see any radfem material. Anywhere. Ever. Serious like, tunnel vision. Libfems with their strict blacklisting rules keep their spaces spick and span. And the people doing the curating, they must see the radfem content and block it off from their followers. But I think to myself, how can they read radical analysis and not click with it?
When I was a libfem, I never was one of those gung ho OP IS A TERF creeps. I kept to myself, I didn’t really comment or engage cuz I was too afraid to talk to anyone or get something wrong and be yelled at. I quietly reblogged things from smitethepatriarchy and misandry mermaid and their ilk like a good little libfem, but I weirdly never saw a whoooole lot of “terf” bashing. Well, I did. But I’d never seen a “terf” or any of their posts, so I didn’t *really* take that much notice. I’d never seen them for myself.
The bashing posts were kinda like fireside ghost stories or urban legends. There was a lot of anger, criticism and denouncing of these so called “terfs”, a lot of information on how awful, scary, mean, and horrible they were. I was never offered examples or receipts but I just figured they were people I’d wanna avoid.
I didn’t actually know “terf” meant radical feminism. I only understood it as meaning someone who thought trans women were men. Which was crazy because, of course they’re women! I legitimately saw them as women. I was obedient. So I just thought it mean to exclude them from feminism. I did not know that these were supposed to be radical feminists. Which is quite funny, and lucky, because when I did find a radical feminist blog for the first time, I didn’t automatically reel in horror or block it. I didn’t know what I was reading. First impressions – intimidating. Kinda scary. All the talk about “learning” or baby radfems, it sounded strict and foreboding. But the things I read I agreed with. It was written in language that was stark, no nonsense, straight forward, no embellishing or slogan type language (The blog in question was Femonade, or factcheckme.wordpress.com lol) but I found it making sense in a new way, like a sunrise over a mountain. (??? Don’t ask) and I realise now that had I been deeper into libfem circles I may never have had my mind opened.
I just. I LEARNED stuff! I never learned anything as a libfem! It was just the same shite over and over, and supporting Trans women was held as the highest virtue. Everything else was second - misogyny, women’s issues. I was never encouraged to read books or seek out literature, to question, to think,
As soon as I stepped into radical feminism my reading list was nearing fifty books! I still haven’t gotten all the way through it. I started finding sound, mature, powerful voices of reason for the first time. Andrea dworkin ripped me apart. Sheila Jeffreys, intimidatingly smart. Countless others I stumbled upon afterwards. I found ties to feminist history, women’s history, women’s pride and power, echoing words of truth and strength, nothing id ever seen in libfem hell. It’s like comparing tomes of timeless literature to tabloid gunk. Literally Laverne cox is the most boring person on earth ??
I dunno this is a weird ramble but i just wish that there wasn’t such a raging blacklist trend in libfem circles because we might then have so many more people wanting to learn about radical feminism and the truth about women’s oppression.
I didn’t even know what a terf was! I didn’t know a thing about radical feminism! Not a thing. And I would have obeyed an order to block someone. I might have been kept from radical feminism if I wasn’t so fucking socially awkward. And it’s the best thing that ever happened to me.
This whole “op is a terf” thing is a huge, massive obstacle that we as feminists face. I just hope more women slip through the cracks like I did.

Getting real sick of this genderist trend of taking incredibly brave and wonderful women of the past who dressed like men in order to succeed in society and turning them into trans puppets.
No, these women weren’t actually men, they were just doing what was necessary to perform their profession and passion and be taken seriously.
Stop taking away women from women’s history.

Measuring Transactivism against the Orange Papers Cult Test
According to the Orange Papers website, when applying this metric to various groups you are supposed to rank each point on a scale of 0-10, with 0 being “not at all” and 10 being “absolutely.” This is going to be loooooong. Let’s dive in.
Someone made a good point about item 56, the “Use of double-binds.” According to transactivism, you must believe that "transwomen are women” or you are a bigot. That's a double bind, because if you go along with that idea, you betray what you know is true by saying that males are women; if you choose not to go along with that idea and speak the truth, then you must be a bigot. And if you remain silent, you will soon be pressed to “take a side” and if you don’t, you are still a bigot because you wouldn’t make the proclamation that “transwomen are women.” It's a classic double bind. There are double binds everywhere in trans ideology. This item needs to have the rating changed from 0 to 10.

did anyone else notice that @weedstoner accused 4thwavenow of child abuse on their slanderous “terf” list? The offense was to not get their kid sterilized immediately after they came out as trans and guess what, like the MAJORITY of minors who come out as trans it was the right call. @4thwavenow knows her child better than random internet assholes and did the right thing for her family. Most minors who come out as trans do not identify that way as adults. Tumblr’s definition of child abuse is failing to get your kid exactly what they want when they want it. It would be funny if it weren’t so damaging to families.

Lesbian history - still not a pretty story
“The history of North American lesbians under white domination begins with the death penalty prescribed for lesbians in 1656 in New Haven, Connecticut. Three hundred years later, in the 1950s, lesbians were being beaten in the city streets, committed to mental institutions, forced to undergo psychosurgery, often at their parents’ instigation. Thirty years after that, in the mid 1980s, despite the struggles and visions of both the Women’s Liberation movement and the gay liberation movement, lesbians are still being assaulted in the streets… Lesbians are still being forced to endure behaviour modification and medical punishment, are still banished from families, are rejected by our ethnic, racial and religious communities, must pretend to be heterosexual in order to hold jobs, have custody of their children, rent apartments, publicly represent a larger community.”
~ Adrienne Rich, “Invisibility in Academe” in Blood, Bread and Poetry
This was written in 1984, in my remembered lifetime, and these things still happen. Lesbians are still punished, excluded, beaten, rejected and subjected to corrective measures from anti gay therapy to corrective rape, depending on where you live. It makes me wonder what it will take to see this change for more lesbians…

Nothing around the Lesbian offers her validation. Everything carries the message of heterosexuality. Lesbians are shown by society as a whole, by the media – especially television – that women love men. This is not only omnipresent, it seems fixed, final. A challenge to an entire culture would seem incredibly arrogant. The sheer weight of history, of multitudes of lives, makes the Lesbian’s experiences in life seem insignificant, invalid. The few movies that deal with Lesbians are considered sensationalistic erotica by society, and do not in any case reflect Lesbianism as lived by most Lesbians (who do not go to French boarding schools). The novels are mostly a sad lot. Although occasionally well-written, they are almost purposely dreary and discouraging and filled with foreboding. The subject is not discussed in school, church or home. Consider the loneliness and pain of participating in a culture that absolutely refuses to acknowledge your existence.

How little has change in 45 years. How little changed from taking part in all the rallies and marches and parades and demonstrations and lawsuits. How little has changed after having Rosie and Ellen on national television for years. How little has changed from having kd lang and Melissa Etheridge performing to millions of fans for years. How little has change after marriage equality laws were passed. It didn’t change because the patriarchy and the heteronormative culture and the male fetishists don’t want it to change. Hatred and disgust of lesbians is as prevalent and common today as it has been in the last 100 years. And now joining forces against lesbians determining what their own lives look like, the transgender males who have decided they know best and their heterosexual and bisexual allies, and the confused young "queer” women who don’t want to be something so uncool and disgusting as a lesbian.

If gender is innate, if girls and boys are just naturally different and naturally like different things, want different things, show different behaviors, why do we have to put so much effort, so much work into separating them?
If gender was innate it wouldn't have to be indoctrinated into anyone. Everyone would naturally pick what they want to pick, and every girl would pick the same thing while every boy would pick the opposite. We would never have to tell any little girl or little boy anywhere, “this is not for you, it’s for boys/girls”.

Weedstoner has done us all a huge favor and highlighted which blogs we should be following. Please pass this on and add as necessary.
Since weedstoner has decided she can’t handle anyone’s opinion that is different from hers, they should be reblogged with each addition to the list.
