1. The GRPB extended the definition of woman to include transwomen with or without a GRC. A person needs to be ‘living as a woman’, but not for any minimum period. No declaration is required, nor are organisations required to verify that a person a ‘living as a woman’.

The definition of woman changed to mean title on utility bills.

This is the state of affairs in Scotland. Definition of woman extended to include trans women.

Such a nasty little man. This is one of the very few women ever that have earned a billion from her own talent, and little cretinous men like him are running around in a rage because she has said women have rights. He's no different to medieval men that wanted Ann Boleyn and Catherine Howard's heads chopped off for a man, and men who didn't want women to have the vote because they were too stupid. He's one of those men. Same old shit, different century.

It implies that not only is it a bad thing, but that PN and others haven't been actively campaigning to make it even 'worse'

Potential "oh shit" moment coming up soon maybe?

It implies that not only is it a bad thing, but that PN and others haven't been actively campaigning to make it even 'worse'.

Its a bit of an own goal really isnt it

Expressing shock and horror at JK Rowlings 'lie', sort of suggests that if it were true it is a bad thing. And it is true..

I've used that article to share on my Facebook to finally come out as GC.

I'm expecting a full woke backlash but no, as a woman who works with the most vulnerable women of society I'm standing my ground. As a once competitive figure skater, I'm standing my ground for all the young girls and women I have coached to have a fair sport and a fair chance.

Reading the last quote in the full fact article, they have also managed to convince themselves that their beliefs mean they can access full information about transition but the average JK Rowling blog reader should have 'simplified' lies instead.

It reminds me of Martin Luther ripping out entire books of the bible so nobody would be encouraged into lewd or violent behaviour.

Very weird sense of their own critical thinking abilities compared to others.

The whole trans bandwagon is full of not very bright people. It seems to make them feel intelligent though, which is why so much of their rubbish is plastered everwhere for people to read incredulously.

Here is one of Ryan John Butchers tweets. He has been berating anyone who doesn't agree with TWAW, when he doesn't have the first clue what he is talking about.

I suspect he isn't the only one.

Doubt it. 80% of men who transition retain their penis. and surgery means any kind of surgery - a lot of men have facial feminisation surgery and that's considered 'surgery'

Given that they are so fast and loose with the truth, I'd love a source for their assertion that it's vanishingly rare for people go acquire a GRC without hormones and surgery. Is there one?

The GRA has been putting women's safety at risk ever since it became law: gendercriticalwoman.wordpress.com/2019/08/11/how-long-has-this-been-going-on/

FantaOra the GRA consultation still hasn't been published, right?

Facts really don't matter. That "rebuttal" Twitter thread of JKRs essay doing the rounds is so devoid of facts but noone gives a shit.

I think PN aren’t playing with a full deck. JKR is a very bright woman. She is also very high profile and extremely wealthy and aware that those things make her a target. Do PN think she wouldn’t use her resources for proper research? She likely has a research assistant. And I’d imagine her legal people went through it as well, before publication. She didn’t write it on a napkin while waiting in the bus queue.

Does it point out that under the proposed self ID legislation there is not even a need for any diagnosis or dysphoria. You just sign that you have been living as the opposite sex for 3 months.

Most of the public think trans means hormones and surgery for people too distressed with their body to live within it. Of course that is true for some people but now there is not even need for dysphoria.

Well of course Pink News don’t do facts. They’re trying to convince us that “living as a man” includes being pregnant and having a baby.

Oncewasblueandyellowtwo I get your point but am not sure why it was directed at me? I was asking why does their fact-checker check government guidelines against mermaids and not the other way round?

Aseop

A government spokesperson told FactCheck: “You do not have to be taking hormones or planning to get surgery to get a GRC, but you do need to have an approved medical practitioner diagnose you as having gender dysphoria, and have lived in your new gender for two years.

Does "suck my d*k" ,"drink my morning p*s, sound like dysphoria?
How do you prove you have being living as a "woman for two years".
I lived in London a few years ago,I gave false names and received bills in that name,is it still that easy?

Sure, I've seen him attacking LGB alliance, he's a nasty man.
Fortunately the GRA is not going to be changed by people like him.
