Thanks Countess

Great article thanks for sharing

Thanks as well,Sarah.
My very first linky thing.

Awesome.

Another great article! Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant article.

Terrific article.

Nice article. Thanks, whitehandled.

That's a fantastic article. Jenni - if you are here - please submit that to the Guardian for Comment is Free? Or to the Times. It's incredibly powerful.

Of course none of these people believe it is true. They just think we should put up and shut up.

Very clearly set out.

Can't argue with any of it.

Fantastically clear, the best summary of the issue I've read

Excellent. Every single thing I read of hers is crystal clear.

Is anyone openly of this opinion on Twitter?Maybe tweet Hadley Freeman/Miranda Yardley/Janice Turner.

I wish i could share it. But i am not mentally in a position to deal with anyone who is a secret tra on my Facebook page just as I'm a secret terf.

Look at one of the resonses ffs

Transgender woman are women on the basis of biological reality. You could reject this point, but you’d be in opposition to mainstream scientific and medical opinion. See, for instance, the Endocrine Society’s position paper on transgender identity.

Yes, apparently science tells us males are actually female. Who would have thunk it

please submit that to the Guardian for Comment is Free? Or to the Times. It's incredibly powerful.

It’ll be a cold day in hell before it makes the Guardian.

Well the guardian sometimes does pop a toe in the water through comment is free.

And they do seem to be possibly starting to understand that, actually, any philosophy which results in you campaigning for Ian Huntley to be in a women's prison might not stand up to the scrutiny of future generations...

They need to stop dipping their toes and pull their fingers out, quick smart.

I’ve been a Guardian reader for 25 years and I can’t believe how badly wrong they’ve gone.

Me either. But they have basically become a lifestyle magazine for Champagne socialists in the last ten years so it's hardly surprising. Champagne socialists LURVE a bit of patronising the downtrodden without really having to engage their brains.

Hi everyone. A friend sent me a message with a link to this thread. Thank you so much for the kind words about my article, and keep going with your questioning of gender ideology and trans politics. We are not unreasonable, we are not bigoted, and we are entitled to fight for our rights.

Mumsnet is a really excellent resource for gender critical discussion. I tip my hat to all the women contributing, and also the women behind the scenes who have kept Mumsnet a space in which we can be open about our views.

Thank you, too gappy. It’s a great article and exactly the kind of incisive analysis we need.

Thank you gappy.
