It might not be an issue for you today, but tomorrow , the next day, or in twenty years time it could be a huge issue for you if for example, it comes to not being able to choose who gives you intimate personal care in a hospital or care home without being accused of transphobia. Or when your grand daughter , niece or god daughter doesn’t want to go swimming because there is a man changing in the changing room, or when that same female child gives up a promising sporting career or hobby because they are being hurt by transwomen playing on the opposite team, or if you are sitting on a jury and have to listen to a weeping raped woman being told to use her rapists preferred pronouns and told to refer to “ her penis” when describing the rape.
If women dont raise their voices now then these things will become habituated, enshrined in law and commonplace. I am old enough to remember when discrimination against women was apparent in everyday life to an extent that many would find unbelievable today, we fought against it and won many of the battles, but this is another one, and ironically we are not only being challenged by men who think they are men and men who think they are women, but by women who don’t think it concerns them. It does.
Yes Starmer has other issues to think about, but he made the mistake of showing his true colours on this one instead of relying on the usual politicians obfuscation, so it is right, and proper, and important to push back. He is the one who lay down with dogs, we are the ones wielding the flea drops.
