He tells this story like he was the victim. But what actually happened? A boy entered the girls’ restroom, the girls objected, security got involved, and he was outraged that girls did not just accept his self declaration over what they could plainly see. That is the entire issue. Girls deserve private spaces where they do not have to explain, apologize, or be pushed out for recognizing biological reality. Pronouns and language are not harmless when they are used to erase the boundary that protects women and girls. Read Breaking the Spell to learn how these arguments are built and how to answer them clearly.

He thinks having boobs settles the question of sex. No, men being attracted to femininity, makeup, breasts, or a particular look does not rewrite biology. Attraction is not a sex test. And “I have boobs” is not an argument. It is a chest-based press release. My book Breaking the Spell teaches you how to spot the word swaps, emotional framing, and little logic tricks used to make absurd claims sound unquestionable. It is on sale until tomorrow.

JK Rowling did nothing of the sort. Watch me take this narrative down.

“If gay men don’t date me, does that mean I’m not male?” No, sir. It means gay men, like everyone else, have individual preferences. A straight man not wanting every woman does not make those women male either. Sexual orientation is about the sex someone is attracted to, not whether every person in that sex class finds you attractive. I break down this kind of linguistic bait-and-switch in Breaking the Spell: Language, Social Pressure, and Psychological Framing in Modern Discourse. Get it here:

Apparently straight men now need a public re-education campaign to stop noticing sex. You are free to be attracted to whoever you are attracted to. But no one gets to redefine heterosexuality, or demand that men deny reality, to make an argument feel more comfortable. This is exactly how linguistic framing works: swap precise words for soft euphemisms, then act shocked when people still understand what was said. Learn how to spot and dismantle these tactics in my Breaking the Spell Master Course:

A 6’2”, 180-pound male says his “safety privileges” were revoked after identifying as a woman. In this video, I break down the linguistic switch being made here: ordinary advice about walking alone at 2 a.m. is being reframed as proof that identity changes sex-based vulnerability. Presentation can affect how strangers treat you. Everyone should use common sense about late-night safety. But feminine presentation does not make a male body female, and it does not erase the physical reality behind women’s safety concerns. This is exactly why language matters. Watch how assumptions get smuggled into a story until disagreement with an idea is framed as cruelty.

He says his surgically constructed anatomy is “better than women’s.” That one sentence tells you everything: reduce women to sexual function, sneer at menstruation and pregnancy, then call it empowerment. This is how language is used to make women doubt what is obvious and to pressure us into applauding our own degradation. If you want to spot the word games and dismantle them in real time, get Breaking the Spell: Language, Social Pressure, and Psychological Framing in Modern Discourse. Link in bio.

The way I have been practically FROTHING AT THE MOUTH waiting to get out of work so I could respond to this ONE sentence. 😂 The funniest part of, “stop saying biological sex because you sound crazy” is WHO is saying it. 😭😂 Sir… you really walked directly into that one.
