"Trans Activists’ Threats To Execute Women Sure Don’t Look Like Social Justice"
(extract)
"Can you imagine? Lesbians at Pride! Protesting sexism! The nerve.
Women, including many feminists and lesbians, have been making news in the United Kingdom lately for having a series of peaceful political actions to protest the Conservative Party government’s proposed changes to the 2004 Gender Recognition Act, which would eliminate any need for medical diagnosis to be able to change all of a person’s legal documents to conceal his or her birth sex.
Women criticizing this gender identity policy have been accused for many years of being puppets of religious conservatives, an accusation newly revived, even as it has passed beneath comment that its UK fortunes now depend on a good, working relationship with Britain’s Tory Party, and their conservative prime minister.
Women have raised concerns in meetings across the UK about how this would affect all single-sex accommodations, including prisons, domestic violence refuges, women-only recreational facilities, homeless shelters, and the privacy and safety of female patients in some medical settings. Gender activists say it’s “violent” to voice these concerns, and to say aloud that male people can’t be women.
Attendees and speakers at these meetings have been intimidated, assaulted, had their employment threatened, been kicked off of their political party rolls, been subjected to police inquest and disciplinary hearings for making statements of biological fact, and had a recent bomb threat made against one of their meetings. The “violence” of women’s recognition of biological sex is invoked to excuse this as a “proportionate response” from transgender people." (continues)
concludes:
"In this terrifying climate that gender activists have benefitted from, the source of their power, and the reason that they can pretend only religious conservatives disagree with the doctrine that penises can be female, a [person] dares to ask why we have decided to work with people with whom we agree on almost nothing else? From the perch of the multimillion-dollar, corporate-backed organizations that support [them], [they] questions a $15,000 grant accepted after the fact, for work we conceived, planned, and executed ourselves? Is [the person] really curious why?
It’s because we have tried everything else, but gender activists wanted to drive us home in silence. The conservatives I’ve talked with are the only ones standing up for me, and they aren’t pretending to be feminists when they aren’t. It’s because gender politics is destroying children’s health, and people’s lives, and women’s most basic rights, and it should be opposed.
If I, or any of my gender-critical friends, were attacked by someone who has said I deserve “the wall” for disagreeing with them, I expect the Left would pretend it didn’t happen. Maybe that seems harsh, but they’ve demonstrated time and again that they care more about the pronouns of ** male [born trans women] murderers than they do about the safety or privacy of women.
None of them will speak out when, as happened again last weekend, the most disgusting threats are made against our lives, because they’re demanding partisan loyalty from women to whom they have refused even the most basic decency or consideration."
