I really do try to be even-handed and try to understand that the other side might genuinely believe they’re right and we are wrong.
There has to be space for an exchange of views or else we’re as bad as they are with their No Debate bullshit.
But it’s REALLY hard to be fair and objective reading the absolute fucking drivel in Kate Nash’s lyrics.
She’s effectively trying to deny the experience of other women and mocking those with GC views.
She’s cherry-picking statistics - I see she’s decided not to mention the number of trans prisoners who commit sexual crimes against women and/or children. IIRC it was around 70%. Weirdly though, she doesn’t mention that in her song.
She’s very keen to point out there’s no issue with boxing rings or toilets, and she scolds us all by holding the same view as Trump, berating us for bringing down society.
The issue isn’t that she’s in the TWAW camp - it’s that she’s proactively attacking women who dare to hold GC views. Silencing them, mocking them, continuing to add to the pile-on that we’ve had to endure for years for daring to assert our right to safety.
This isn’t about having a go at Kate because she wants to champion trans rights. That’s up to her. She could do that without trampling on the many brave women who are standing up for their rights and safety. There was no need to perpetuate smear tactics or to suggest we’re all Trump fangirls. Many (most?) of us detest the orange toddler.
This is a cheap attempt at getting approval by throwing women under the bus yet again.
Fuck you Kate.
