As we know, the reason so few people are outraged by the trans movement is because the issue appears so complex, and is fraught with sensitivities.
People don't understand what the fuss is about as it "affects so few people" or "transwomen suffer so much prejudice" that they deserve our sympathy and support.
People do not understand what 'transwomen' now means.
Trans activists argue that changes to the GRA won't make any difference because its "been this way for 10 years and it's all been fine . . "
What the public don't know is that 10 years ago 'transgender' largely referred to those suffering from Gender Dysphoria. Gender Dysphoria was described by the lead psychiatrist at Charing Cross Gender Identity Clinic as a 'vanishingly rare' condition. In 2011 this same expert stated that the rates of Gender Dysphoria were 'stable and unchanging'
It is no longer so.
I think the only way we can get people to sit up and listen is to force them to think about what we now mean by transwomen.
By the way, I know this is old news and that many have already tried this! I'm in awe of those women who have dedicated so much time and energy to highlighting the terrible unfairness of this ideology. However, often this question isn't posed by GC feminists on TV/ radio interviews, and it's so crucial to our argument. As soon as the public understands who exactly is included under the trans umbrella . . . game over.
Transgender people are not a homogenous group.
Let's present Stonewalls definitions to the ministers, the NHS, Girl Guides, Swim England and ask - in the interests of gatekeeping - who are we now calling a 'transwoman'. If it's all those groups under the Stonewall umbrella, then we are including those who very often don't identify as a women (either at all or part of the time), and derive sexual pleasure from cross dressing.
Is this Ok with them? If not, why not?
So far, this is the only question that made my NHS service sit up and listen. They admitted that we need to be clearer who we mean when we refer to trans people. No answer is forthcoming yet of course. . .
I rarely post, but am a regular (i.e. obsessive) lurker so want to say thanks to all of you who have educated and inspired me over recent months. The events of the past few days have been disheartening, but there are a growing number of us out there now. We're listening. We're trying to do our little bit. Thank you
