I've said this on another thread, but I'd like to explore it a bit further...

In my opinion the only thing that differentiates boys from girls are their primary and secondary sexual characteristics. Girls can do anything boys can do, and boys can do anything girls can do, barring those things that are required to procreate.

The only thing holding people back are societal expectations. We need to be challenging these, not reinforcing them with this gender identity nonsense.

A man wearing a dress and wearing makeup however should be applauded for being courageous and breaking stereotypes.

If a man dresses and acts 'like a woman' and calls himself 'a woman' then he is a parody of a woman (in the ironic sense) because the only way he can do this is to perform deeply flawed stereotypes.

Men in dresses and make up insisting on being recognised as women is therefore exactly the same as blackface and is deeply insulting to women.

Why is it ok to insult women with the lie that men are woman, but not ok to tell the truth and say men can never become women?

As a result I cannot support the GRC or self ID. These are red herrings and should be repealed and rejected.

Prawn, completely agree with you.

How do we counter the propaganda? It's fine speaking/writing to MPs, but as we can see from other threads many of them appear to have concerns about all we have discussed above, but are afraid to voice their concerns publicly.

I have not read the full thread, would just like to add my favourite gender non conforming man, music can create culture and ideas, and give people role models they can identify with, for a time. I miss Brian Malko….off to google to see what he's up to these days. Wears dresses and makeup, I think he's bisexual. I'm hetero and think he is unbelievably sexy, mainly because he doesn't give a fuck.

Feminists will get the blame Prawn.

With previous medical scandals, it's been the clinicians and other professionals who have got the blame mostly, Pratchet. Depends on what happens. If a girl is raped on a Girl Guides camping trip the GG will probably never fully recover
