A really important article by Dr Em.

I'm so pleased that the bravery of women who spoke out on MN has enabled the dots to start to be joined on this.

I cannot overstate how important this article is.

"What could be more coercive than repeatedly claiming your partner’s sense of reality, understanding of science and anatomy (that humans cannot change sex), was wrong?”

Hard hitting article, very well written. Flowers

The sheer awfulness of slow, ever encroaching crossing of boundaries and pushing further and further one inch at a time... very well described. And quite characteristic in general terms of what is happening legally and in the wider world too. It's a very consistent, recognisable thing.

Thank you Tinsel and Dr Em. This is a clear article that pulls together all I have learned here. People are starting to understand - the dots are definitely there, willing to be joined.
