So much wrong with this piece. Dismissive, belittling, factually incorrect, outright lies, rejecting the existence of biology, and so manipulative in trying really, really hard to persuade people not to engage in debate; probably because they know it would blow the whole thing wide open.
It is bizarre. You would almost think it was a parody.
She asks that we imagine we are suddenly being personally banned.. The campaign grows and now they’re banning you from the local supermarket, then the pubs, then the town centre as a whole – except for one hour a week when you’re permitted to enter.... (continues) ...something similar is happening" a debate about the GRA.
No, nothing even slightly similar to that is hppening at at all.
This is the problem at the heart of these campaign groups, that they are desperately trying to define “female” in a way that excludes one set of women – trans women.
Er, no, that would be your lot desperately trying to redefine female to also mean male. We are conservatively and non-radically wanting to keep that definition.
To explain briefly why these concerns are redundant, there is perfectly good, robust legislation to keep perverts of any gender out of public toilets and changing areas.
There is no legislation that keeps perverts out of toilets! The only thing that would achieve that is being in prison or being subject to some kind of restraining order or condition of parole. Though I would quite like to see a law that says "if you are a pervert you must stay away from other human beings unless you are supervised and controlled by a safe person". Life would be very relaxing if we could enforce that.
It’s important to remember that not every person who is engaged in these faux-feminist groups is transphobic. A lot of them have become concerned because they have a friend who told them there was something to be worried about, or they read a worrying article in the media
Those silly, foolish women who just believe everything they are told over the garden fence and who can be so gullible as to think biology means anything. They are so silly that we must not even talk to them. Tell them they are worng and then shun them if they don't listen. Just don't engage in discussion!!!
Not one mention of any reasurance that safeguarding will remain or of encouraging empathy with women who have suffered abuse. Just pleading to ignore these horrible, mean women who would exclude you too if they got the chance.
