"No philosopher should care how you feel about the existence of God, freedom, abortion or anything else, presented merely as your feelings. Your feelings have no claim to universality and do not automatically transfer to your audience. You might feel that God exists but that is no reason why anyone else should."

This is an example of how weak the trans ideology argument is and you can quote the above to your MP (PPE) who should have some understanding of philosophy. It doesn't invalidate the feelings of others, it simply says their feelings have no application towards others. Trans ideology debating doesn't presenting a winning rational logical argument which is why #NoDebate.
