There is an awful lot to this issue. But at its most basic, the government are considering removing the criteria to legally change sex. Which would make it an administrative exercise.
At the same time, anti women activists and transactivists are deliberately targeting anything 'woman'. Including the very definition of the word.
Hence a billboard saying a woman is an adult human female was taken down as hate speech under pressure from transactivists.
Male rapists have been put in female prisons and sexually attacked the women there.
Girl guides are relentlessly maintaining that boys are girls and therefore do not pose a risk to girls if they sleep in the same tent. Nor should those girls be uncomfortable, or even informed. And neither do the parents need to be informed.
It only needs a smidgen of imagination to contemplate exactly how a law maintaining men are women can be exploited.
It's worse when you're told that challenging it makes you a transphobic bigot spouting hate speech who should shut up.
The law hasn't even been changed yet. The government are consulting because 'women purporting to be feminists' have pushed back.
Nonetheless, rapists are in women's prison, boys are accepted into guides whilst girls who identify as boys are pushed out. What the hell does that teach girls? Femininity maketh a female. It's so regressive it's terrifying.
You cannot talk about women's rights, women's needs, sexism, any of it without being able to define the group you mean.
How does sex discrimination work?
Philip Bunce, a cross dressing man, has just been awarded a woman in business accolade. Women in business.
An award designed to reward and encourage women to overcome structural disadvantage as they attempt to break through the glass ceiling.
Awarded to a man who wears a dress twice a week. Self-confessed transvestite. Except it's called gender fluid.
And I'm not misgendering him, because he doesn't even identify as a woman!
Transactivists who work on behalf of political parties have said openly that if you had a parliament with 50% men and 50% men who identify as women, that will tick the diversity boxes nicely thank you.
It's 100 years since women got the vote. It can be taken away in an instant. And is being.
You already have at least three men, identifying as women, who are holding women's political positions.
