Quote by Scarlett Curtis

“One day we're the storm, loud and unmanageable. One we're the sun, radiating light in every direction. One day we're air, breezing in and out invisibly. One day we're fire, furious and passionate. And we don't need an app to tell us when our anger is justified. Or to shave off our hair to be true feminists. Or unanimous approval to prove we're a trailblazer. Or damn underwear to declare us liberated. And we certainly don't need to devise a new set of feminist rules and specifications that tell some women they qualify and others, 'You can't sit with us.”

“Our bodies are life-growers by nature, tied to the moon by some invisible, yet visceral cord. We get to walk through the world in bodies that are mysterious, majestic even, and our intuition as women is pretty off-the-charts.”

“Only allowing affirmation indicates that a child’s feelings are facts, and we believe that feelings, which are often transient, are not facts. One may hold respect and empathy for those suffering from gender confusion and still say no to a destructive ideology that advocates the medicalization of kids.”

“Why is there a perseveration on gender instead of expanding inquiry and addressing all dimensions of a being in distress? Why are we enabling kids to possibly run from something such as past trauma or encouraging distraction from emotional pain by quickly writing a prescription for puberty blockers or a cross-sex hormone on the first or second visit to a clinic?”

“Generally, once men have said that they are feminists, they feel free to behave in whatever scummy manner they see fit towards women. The reason I loathe virtue-signalling so much is not because I'm against people bigging themselves up [...] but because boasting only makes sense when it's about something you do well. People who do nothing worth talking about will invariably boast about the way they are; their virtue-signalling is not a prelude to virtue but rather a substitute for it. In fact in can encourage them to behave even worse than they would otherwise; one thinks of those men working for charities who will happily head into a disaster zone and make whores of the poverty stricken female population.”

“Wokeness is King Midas in reverse, tarnishing any noble cause it touches, but on no body of struggle has is left as many filthy finger marks in inappropriate places as on feminism. With smoke and mirrors and sleight of hand worthy of a wicked misogynist magician, it has midwifed a monstrous creature, a fauxminism which is centred solely around the stations of the hallowed penis.”

“Whenever the rights of women clash with the rights of others, those in power seem extraordinarily keen on letting the side who aren't women win - and their attitudes seem creepily in accord with those of the woke bros. For example, the British police force - PC Plod has been born again as PC PC - seem far more interested in bothering people for online "misgendering" than they do investigating threats by blokes in brassieres to rape TERFs.”
