I have been trying to understand how we are in the present situation in 2021 - Gender Identity / Queer ( ie - what happened at Redbridge Library today) the loss of women and children rights.

I keep talking to friends - who have no idea. The don't seem to be aware for example that men can be classed as female if they want when recording crimes - including sex-based crimes (I have images of the FOI responses from each police force now to show everyone), and what this means. Men in prisons / in spas / in any place they damn well want to be.

I have been talking it through with my Mum - She feels it is similar to the MagPie scandal of the 1970s. I, my Sister and brothers were all born in the 70s/80s. She recalls this, as a young mother being a terrifying time. Until more and more voices started speaking out.

Is this us now ?

Yes, I have been thinking the same thing. I am not old enough to remember but I assume before the incest/child sex abuse scandles entered the public conciousness it must have been the level of protection a child had just depended on the parents, and if your parents wernt bothered you were at the mercy of preditors.

I think it has very much gone back to that.
