“If only the trans-lobby had an iota of self-knowledge and respect towards women who have come by their consciousness through the long hard slog of growing up female rather than by the skill of the surgeon’s knife. And if only the likes of Mumsnet and the Guardian – who are belatedly taking on the trans-lobby – had had the nerve to be feminists five years ago.”

Dead right, Weezol.

Luckily Holly Bee 1, in the U.K. the murder rate of Trans folk is very low. 8 Transpeople have been murdered in the last 10 years, which is obvs 8 too many, but shows trans people are relatively safe in the U.K. women on the other hand are murdered by the men in their lives at over 2 per week.

Weezol totally agree.
Julie Burchill never did anything by halves, so when she’s right, like on this issue, she is absolutely, spectacularly, righteously right.
(It also makes me happy to think of the two Julies and Suzanne Moore all being mates IRL

I for one am very glad that you reposted the link about assaults by transwomen, even if Hollie isn't.

My favourite Julie is Grayson Perry's Julie-from-Essex.
