A fetish for wearing women's clothing does not equate to them being trans, which is what your thinly veiled snipe is really about.

Oh but it does. Stonewall' definition of trans;

Trans – an umbrella term to describe people whose gender is not the same as, or does not sit comfortably with, the sex they were assigned at birth. Trans people may describe themselves using one or more of a wide variety of terms, including (but not limited to) Transgender, Transsexual, Gender-queer (GQ), Gender-fluid, Non-binary, Gender-variant, Crossdresser, Genderless, Agender, Nongender, Third gender, Two-spirit, Bi-gender, Trans man, Trans woman,Trans masculine, Trans feminine and Neutrois.

Thanks for telling me what my point was, thats really helpful!

How do you know this person isn't trans? The GRA is trying to take away the requirement for any kind of medical diagnosis associated with being trans which equates it to little more than wanting to wear womens/mens clothes and call yourself that.

The actual reason I posted it was that people say we shouldn't question when someone enters single sex spaces. Regardless of whether you think this is a real trans person or not, apparently you can tell the difference , I sure as hell can't.

If the GRA goes through, this man could go out tomorrow, get himself a cert without any medical treatment and have a right to be in womens spaces without question.

You may see it as transphobia to require someone to have to jump through some hoops and seek some treatment but I don't

PSA:

He is a disgusting person, and I hope his life is forever ruined, but the constant anti-trans bullshit on here is sickening.
