Apologies if this has already been posted, I've just seen it. It summarises my thoughts pretty clearly.

This blog is going to be me offloading all the anger bubbling up following recent revelations regarding the Green Party and other events. It will quite possibly be an incoherent mess and sweary, but I need to put it somewhere.
For years women have been warning that the trans movement has been hijacked by women hating types, some of which are clearly not safe to be around children. Yet our fears were constantly twisted to make out we were attacking ALL trans people and lumping them all together in a box labelled perverts. But in reality the opposite was true – we were saying that trans means a lot of things these days and taking away checks and balances meant that the very worst men could use self id as a Trojan horse to enable them to access vulnerable women and children.
And guess fucking what? It’s happened. The very worst scenario has happened. A man, who identified as a young girl while raping and torturing a 10 year old had the ear of his trans identifying son, who campaigned to get rid of safeguards for children, specifically girl guides. A son who was the favourite to be the deputy leader of a major political party.
Yet when people on Twitter are saying “We told you this would happen. We knew it was a risk” men are jumping in accusing them of using the terrible abuse to further their “transphobic views”. The #notalltrans has been astounding and troubling to behold. And people saying that we shouldn’t be questioning a ‘vulnerable’ twenty year old – fuck you. If they are old enough to have a senior position in politics then they are old enough to be held accountable for their actions.
Well, fuck you. Fuck every single, misogynistic one of you. There is a massive fucking epidemic of male violence; Paedophiles infest every corner of society; and these men think that they won’t take advantage of self id to access more victims? Don’t be so fucking stupid. And if you’re on twitter calling women fascists for pointing this out, then I will just assume you have sinister motives. Because if you still can’t see why women don’t want to allow penises into our spaces then you are either very, very stupid or you can’t wait to creep in and take advantage yourself.
Most men understand why they are not welcome in refuges etc. They know they wouldn’t harm women, but absolutely get why these safeguards are in place. The same applies to most trans women. They know they themselves are harmless, but put the safety of women and children above their own needs.
Sick men will do ANYTHING to gain access to children. They target single mothers for romance, holiday in countries where child protection is non existent, join the priesthood, volunteer in the scouts, etc etc. Look at the paedo rings that flourished in plain sight within Westminster and the BBC. Men protect men. Putting on a dress and demanding fucking pronouns doesn’t guarantee safety, so stop acting like it does.
Women can spot danger a mile off. Trans activism and the silencing tactics are classic abuser warnings and we knew. We still know. And my god, we’re fucking angry.
We’ve been maligned and terrorised just for pointing out a simple truth. But we see you. We know what’s going on. And we will continue to shine a light on the darkness that is at the heart of trans activism. Because we will not sit back and watch children get harmed to satisfy the perverted identities of a group of autogynephiles and paedophiles.
