Given that nearly every university student seems to believe TWAW, will sanity ever prevail?

That's it really. They are tomorrow's politicians, teachers, lawyers. I am at a loss to see how we can turn this round.

Both my kids believe in being kind and respectful - but they know what a woman is and believe passionately in free speech. One is in his second year at uni (goldsmiths, in fact) and the other is doing a levels.

All their friends get it too.

The beauty of students attending UK universities from abroad is them laughing their socks off at all of this.

Our government has made themselves and us a laughing stock abroad.

Try asking the feminist groups at uni though. From what I have seen they are all on board with it.
The next generation of feminists may be lost to it .

They really don't. My teens like to say "did you just assume my gender" about every 30 seconds.

My DD is doing A levels. Trust me, they don’t all think that at all...

They don't.
I see a lot of taking the piss and winding each other up with 'did you just assume my gender? Bigot!' among the ones I know on Facebook.
And they are genuinely and seriously woke when it comes to anti racism and awareness of different sexualities, they're not ukippy types or anything like that, they just see this as different.

They don’t.

And they won’t be young forever.

Do even if they think it doesn’t really matter when they’re all 20, by the time they’re 40 they’ll know it does. Or the female ones will.

Try asking some lads for a university rugby club if they would consider a transwoman as a girlfriend... I did recently and was met with guffaws. They were also indignant on behalf of the Women’s rugby club that a male bodied person wanted to join - said it was dangerous.

What Somerville said. Majority think it’s BS. Especially the boys.

They don't! Most don't go near the NUS and roll their eyes at them.

They don’t. (They just can’t say they don’t. Which is a problem in itself, of course.)
