"She said: ‘As a trans person I no longer feel safe. And the reason I don’t feel safe is not the random on-street stuff.

‘There has always been an undertone of violence directed at me and trans people generally.

‘But at least there has been a sense that the government understood and was happy to go along with broadly accepted rights that have been won in this country and that are accepted elsewhere. Now I’ve lost faith the government will defend us.’

She has started to plan a move, so she is not ‘caught on the hop’. In particular, she is looking at whether she’d need asylum seeker status to live in New Zealand."

Bet Jane doesn't go at all. And remains 'thinking' about it forever.

Asylum seeker status?!

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 04/06/2020 19:07

She has started to plan a move,

So hasn't actually fled, in other words. Behold my surprise.

I do hope the NZ media invite Fae on to talk about what it's like to be a woman.

On a general point, it's no secret that knife crime is on the increase, that impacts all, not just trans people.

I bet that violence is coming from men not GC feminists. I support Jane in condemning toxic masculinity.

Tianalia · 04/06/2020 19:01

Oh dear. Bye then Jane.

Off you trot then.

On the flip side, being pelted with stones, threatened with a knife etc. is pretty shocking.

What's the right toilet!?? There should be women toilets for women and trans women, women only toilets, trans toilet's, men's only toilets and trans men's and men's toilets?? Then everyone's happy?? Take your pick??

GrinGrinGrinGrinthat is hilarious how does Jane think Jane will qualify as an asylum seeker!

Iran has been praised for its trans friendly policies.

Well NZ does seem to go for That Sort of Thing. Poor sods.

SarahTancredi · 04/06/2020 18:54

But the UK has a really low rate of trans people being murdered they are in fact the safest demographic here.

So effectively they would rather be in more danger seeking validation of toilets in other countries?

There appears to be a mass exodus:

'She told GSN: ‘I’m a six foot three trans person so I am quite a visible target for verbal and physical abuse.

‘People try to trip you up or give you a shove. I’ve had rocks thrown at me and been punched. Three times in the last year, someone has threatened me with a knife. It got so bad that I bought a stab vest but I still don’t feel safe.’

The 54 year old is thinking of moving next year. Partly she wants a fresh start but she adds: ‘I don’t want to have to face violence and threats as often as I do.’"

Haven't clicked on the link, but I mean, why would you even announce it?

InTheShadowOfTheMushroomCloud · 04/06/2020 18:50

My eyes have rolled so much they are at risk of falling out...
I wonder if they are taking their knitting with them?
