I don't think we have quite got that far as there are lots of inconsistencies in the way both laws work together. What we need to do is clearly unpick this and challenge the government to clarify terms.

Squatters rights is spot on.

It's also this refusal to take into account the power dynamic between men and women.

To understand that there is a massive cohort of men who are trying to stick to women.

Why would Stonewall give two shits about the ramifications of misogyny towards women? They're not a feminist organisation. The last people in their acronym they support is lesbians, women.

Them supporting a law is guaranteed to mean it benefits men at the expense of women. They may not even take into account that expense. Women just don't exist, as far as they're concerned.

Agree, Datun.

Absolutely this.

Self-id would go further than not recognising this dynamic. It would remove the language to even describe it. It would take away women's right to name it.

It would remove women's ability to organise as a sex to protect themselves against it.

It's a mindfuck of mammoth proportions.

Absolutely 100% deliberate.
