This piece seems to have sent our favourite Doctor into an apoplectic rage yet again so I assume it is worth reading.

It's not really about asking permission though is it?

When an individual has legally been able to do something for 14 years it is unreasonable to expect them to suddenly have to ask permission to do those things, and for them to prepare for that permission to be refused.

Bowlofbabelfish I would liken it to your son being given chocolate every day for breakfast for his entire life, then one day you refuse the chocolate without offering an alternative. And if he complains of being hungry stating 'not my problem'.

One cannot blame people for doing things they are perfectly entitled to do under the law.

People can do lots of things that aren't an actual crime which aren't nice or moral.

It's not illegal to cheat on your spouse, or say nasty things about other people on the bus. But it's not the done thing.

Like writing a newspaper article?

Or reading a newspaper article?

We now know it's pretty much legal for my dad to march into the Top Shop changing room and for him also to demand that all the girls in there call him she.

He never would though. Because he's not a horrifically entitled manipulator.

Jez, the thing is that if self-ID goes through, somebody who jumped through all the hoops years ago to get their GRC will essentially be no different from a part-time crossdresser and a bloke who's realised he's onto a good thing. The other two will be able to get exactly the same legal standing, including new birth certificates, by signing a form. The police's new trans toolkit has just declared that non-binary officers should have male & female ID & use whichever they fancy at the time, FFS.

This is where the TRA lobby has got us. One big umbrella. Why should women be kind to just some of them? How do we know which ones to be kind to?

That's why, if old-style GRA holders want women to view them as 'the good ones' they have a hell of a lot of work to do.

I saw the police guidance is using the trans umbrella. The trans umbrella is just crazy.

They were waffley about searches but if trans people can keep that identity private then how on earth do you maintain same sex searches? As for non binary???!!!

Well if I’m searched at any time in the future, I’ll be demanding a non binary biological female, in fitting with my gender identity. No idea if it would work, but my anxiety needs there to be something planned in my head!!

Well if I’m searched at any time in the future, I’ll be demanding a non binary biological female, in fitting with my gender identity.

I'll be demanding a biological female who rejects gender altogether. Making me be searched by someone with a gender identity would be LITERAL VIOLENCE.

Every female copper should identify as non binary or gender fluid so they can recluse themselves from searching any XY who demands a woman search him.

And the XY should be searched by another MTF.

And the XY should be searched by another MTF.

Even if the searcher is just identifying that way for the duration.
