Not sure how linls work on mumsnet, but I just read this article and thought I'd share.

'Has trench warfare on trans issues come to an end?'

I can't decide if I like this article or not.

Yes. Why?

It's not a bad article in that it recognises the problems.

But why does nobody challenge the idea that extra civil rights should be awarded for people dressing as/impersonating/wanting to be the opposite sex, in the first place?

Why don't they ask what is gender dysphoria trying to solve?

And following on from that, why the hell don't they question why cross dressers, under the stonewall definition, are included in those extra civil rights?

Why is a sexual fetish being granted any kind of legal recognition?

That's a really good article. Sadly I suspect we won't see the sensible, moderate policy discussion it asks for any time soon.

The Critic is a really good new magazine and a breath of fresh air - recommend checking them out. (No, I'm not working for them.)

Very interesting thoughtful article.
