Transsexuals, those who are attracted to men, have gender dysphoria and just want to get on with their lives under the radar have, historically, been at liberty to do just that. Presenting as women helps their dysphoria. They know it, we know it.
The eruption of the trans-ideology in the last 10 years has not been about them or for them.
When the law changed in 2004 it was meant to help these people.
What it actually did was give the green light to every cross dressing fetishist in the country. Men who absolutely love dressing as women, accessing women's spaces, subjugating women. It's not a hardship, it's a compulsion.
The entire fetish is around 'forced' feminisation, the more humiliating, the bigger the kick. They get off on enjoying victim status, and they see women as victims. Hence the massive, spluttering outrage when women don't act like the victims they are supposed to be and vehemently reject their rhetoric.
How many other ideological debates are met with threats of rape and violent, excessively gendered, abuse?
If you have a highly charged, heated debate with someone, you may get called an idiot, ignorant, uninformed - you rarely get threatened with rape from a broken bottle.
So yes we can talk about gender differences, oppression, rights, respect, all we like. But at the end of the day these people are creating laws specifically designed to give them access to women on the basis of an inner compulsion that has nothing to do with being 'born in the wrong body'.
Women and girls are going to be faced with these people in their most intimate spaces.
Transsexuals are going to be forced to take a politically charged viewpoint. Whilst having a huge drama over their loo choice, which had never existed before.
The wholesale whitewashing of what is a fetish, and feting people like Caitlin Jenner is turning a disorder like a gender dysphoria into a lifestyle that says you can choose your sex.
The ideology is damaging to every body except transactivists.
And everyone whe knows a thoroughly decent transsexual really, really needs to try and understand the difference.
