Ugh.

My brain aches at the lies that newspapers are collaborating in with the "she" and "her" language. I don't know if that's an autistic thing but it physically makes me hurt to read lies.

What did your DH say?

Thread about same article with some discussion: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3413678-The-protective-effect-of-being-transgender-Army-declines-to-prosecute-affair

That's old news. He's not even in the Infantry anymore. He won't have been to the frontline either.

Sorry, my mistake he is still in the Infantry just not the same regiment he was in.

Way. Wrong thread. Will self report!

This was one of my turning points. This was posted on another site I frequent ages ago, and it was at a stage when women still couldn't actually do the training. So this guy was the 'first woman' even though he is just a crossdresser, compelted his training as a due and such, so its clearly not an achievement for women. What really made me pay attention though, was how the MRA members reacted. Going on as if this was fantastic, and progressive and that and how its amazing that 'women' are finally getting somewhere. These members hate women, with a passion. The fact that they were on the side of this kind of thing, made me sit up and take notice of the movement a lot more.

It 's been building with DH for a few weeks. In the past whenever I'd try to discuss the GRA he'd say "Oh, it's just a few, sad, mentally ill people, give them a break." However, recently he saw Jess Bradley on Sky and then the stuff about rapists and murderers identifying as women and being moved to womens prisons. Last week he saw the cyclist who won a womans long distance race looking twice the size of the other racers and who claimed that they won fairly as it says they are a woman on their birth certificate, so they are a woman and that they had simply worked very hard and that dissenters should think about that . Then he started to think about how when out with our four dd's (without me) he let them go to public toilets assuming some kindly woman would help them if needed. Like a lot of people he had assumed everyone who is trans is having all their genitalia etc removed (who would do that?) and are vunerable flowers.
