I do not hate people who are trans. I am, however, cross about the proposed changes to self-ID because of the risks it poses to women and girls - predators will seize on it as a new way to gain access to single sex spaces.
I am angry about the trans woman who is going into beauty forums and asking girls as young as 11 about their periods, and who wants to be approached by girls in the Ladies’ loos for advice on using tampons - he wants to offer to help them insert their tampons.
I am angry about people born male bodied, who grew up with the physical advantages that confers for certain sports - height, strength, bone density, muscle mass, lung capacity etc and who are using those advantages to beat biological women.
I am angry about someone who would, in the past, have been called a cross dresser, getting s place on a list of high achieving women. I am angry that comic relief have chosen a trans woman as their first woman of achievement (this may not be exactly the right title but they are featuring influential women).
I am angry that children are being given puberty blockers that could have life long effects on them, and may turn them into asexual, infertile people.
I am angry that lesbians who do not want penis-in-vagina sex with male bodied trans women are being told THEY are too focussed on genitalia, and the trans women are discussing how best to break through the cotton ceiling (which means the lesbians’ knickers) and that some lesbians can ’cope’ with PIV sex.
I am angry that Shon Faye - a prominent trans activist has said ‘Women - enjoy your erasure’.
I am angry at being told I am not a woman, I am a ciswoman, as if I merely belong to a subset of womanhood. I am angry about the toxic stereotypes of male and female that back up the trans activism.
I am angry that Girl Guiding UK have said that a trans girl (a male bodied young person) could share a tent with adolescent girls and their parents would not have the right to be to,d - which is a real safeguarding issue.
I am angry at the angry subset of the trans community who want their rights at the expense of women and girls, and their rights and safety - and who do not care one jot about this.
