I wanted to discuss this, as it this definistion has been proposed by both Scottish Trans Alliance and LGBT Youth Scotland in their their submissions to the UK Women and Equalities commission.

The Scottish Trans Alliance submission says:

"We recommend the terms transgender people and trans people be used as equivalent inclusive umbrella terms for anyone whose gender identity (including their gender expression) does not fully correspond with the sex they were assigned at birth. This is inclusive of:

-Trans women – people assigned male at birth but who identity as women
-Trans men – people assigned female at birth but who identify as men
-Non-binary people – people who do not identify solely as men or solely as women. Instead their gender identity is between or beyond the man/woman binary or they have no gender. (This is an umbrella term inclusive of other terms such as gender-fluid, gender-queer, non-gendered, agender.)

  • Cross-dressing people – people whose gender expression includes dressing in clothing which does not fully correspond with the sex they were assigned at birth but otherwise identify with their assigned sex.

data.parliament.uk/WrittenEvidence/CommitteeEvidence.svc/EvidenceDocument/Women%20and%20Equalities/Transgender%20Equality/written/19659.html

The LGBT Youth Scotland concurs with this definition.

Furthermore, James Morton of the Scottish Trans Alliance was the person responsible for changing the definition of 'woman' to include transwomen in Scottish Law. So legally, cross dressing males who "otherwise identify with their assigned sex" would be legally women in Scotland.

I am completely bewildered that cross dressing aspect has not been picked up by politicians/press.

I am particulary keen to hear from the woke crew. How the fuck can you defend this shit?

In the light of that - ANYTHING that damages safeguarding or reduces the age at which children can consent to medical treatment etc needs to be looked at with a rather cynical eye.

Between this and the Brexit fiasco, we're facing the biggest societal fuck up since WWII.

If society is forced to accept that gender feelz replaces the biological reality of sex, then they'd better be prepared for the biological reality of age/maturity to be ignored as well so people who seek to sexually abuse children will start arguing that age is just a number and therefore childhood doesn't exist and so younger people (children) should be at liberty to engage in 'relationships' with adults.

You can see where this is going. Denying biological reality is dangerous. I can't believe the authorities haven't thought about this.

They have, this is coming down from very high up and it's scary.
