I was having a lively debate with my parents (both in their 80s and incredibly with it and intelligent) and the subject of womens only safe spaces came up. I decided to tell them about the proposed issues involving TIMs.

And they peak transed.

So begins the spread of this information among their friends, and the ripples will spread.

It does at first sight, Phoenix, and I think that’s how things have got to this point - no one decent wants to see themselves trampling a disadvantaged minority. It’s when you look at what’s actually happening and the logical inconsistencies and the genuine bile and hatred coming from some trans activists that you do a double take and think, now hold on a minute...

MyBeloved you are right, the ripples are spreading. 'Ordinary' people cannot believe what is being proposed.

Sounds all a bit too much like spreading hatred to me.

I 'fledgling peak transed' my hairdresser today.

As I left she said I'm going to speak to my husband about this tonight.

They have two daughters.

I love your opening post. Not least because of the image conjured up in my head of two older people, listening to their child.

And embracing their child's experience of the 'next thing'.

Kudos to you, and them.

It has left me with a wonderful image.

Good stuff!

My parents wondered why this was not common knowledge, which led tp a further discussion around the issue of non platforming, the shutting down of debate and also how women were being referred to as 'cis'.

Brilliant. I peak transed a civil servant last week just by telling them about the suggested GRA reforms - i.e. that some politicians had in all seriousness proposed that any man could become a woman just on his say so. They thought I was joking and peak transed as soon as they found concrete proof that I wasn't
