Sorry but "Creepy"? CREEPY?! What an odd choice of words. I'd say it's more creepy to be desperate to access to womens spaces but that's just me.

Does he not realise that this is about womens safety? These people are so clueless.

YY Sloth.

People who grasp what trans now means

I honestly think that there is a substantial number of trans allies who just cannot allow themselves to look beyond what is presented to them as the permitted view from the permitted source. They know that they must do an immediate three wise monkeys whenever exposed to a heresy. Many of them will be acting and speaking in good faith. It is very sad.

Have a look at the rest of this twitter.com/tauriqmoosa/with_replies and ask yourself: would I expect to get quality journalism if I paid this guy to write an article?

I think the use of the word 'creepy' is quite deliberate.

It's often used as a word to describe inappropriate male behaviour to girls and women.

He's trying to say that women and girls wanting space away from men is creepy, the opposite of how it's usually used.

It's like when a male transperson tweeted about not 'consenting' to puberty. It's a word women often use when discussing the implications of self id.

Now I think about it, I've a feeling the guy who was interviewed on RT with Nic Williams (on Friday?) may have said something similar. I don't remember the word 'creepy' but there was certainly an implication that we were unhealthily obsessed with toilets. So there may be a pattern.

You can exist all you want, change the law to tell me I no longer do and I have every right to object.

Glad to learn I am rich, me and all the other women being ground into the pavement by the steel boot of austerity...

The person who tweeted this:

It’s tied to class. It was explained to me that most of these “advocates” are rich women who got their equality and don’t want to “give any of it up.” Because as we all know, justice is a pie that has to be carved

also tweeted this in the same thread:

But it’s also over represented in media because the media in the UK is still predominantly higher class people, so a fringe idea is actually being presented as a mainstream (and valid) line of thought.

This person really does have a bee in her bonnet about higher class folk! Amusing she thinks we're all rich women. What a shame that isn't true.

This person would need a reality check via a bunch of Lisa Muggeridge vids.

Interesting that they deny that there are any men who are trying to get into women's prisons. Is it different in the US.

The Journalist is male by the way

It's DARVO. Concern for trans kids and what's in someone's pants (sic) is creepy and prurient.

If we're talking about Tauriq the "journalist", they have "Cape Town, South Africa" as their location.

Funnt but if someone said to me that someone was creepy I’d assume the creepy one was a man. It’s so much more a male characteristic.

Can't believe that, in a world that has yet to work out how to cope with so many of the issues surrounding growing numbers of TW in women's spaces (I'm thinking of prisons, medical situations, women whose culture means they can't share spaces with men etc) he thinks we need less scrutiny?

It's DARVO.

Of course it is. These people are walking talking Duluth wheels.

And not just the creepy bit either. Also the class bit: we all know genderism is a bourgeois movement. Projecting own classism there very nicely.

So we're all rich white binary loving colonialists are we? Worldwide coverage of Royal weddings has a lot to answer for!

I like all the stuff about how apparently people "in africa" didn't know what sex was in humans (male female dick cunt babies) before western colonialisation*

It’s some Noble Savage thing. Black people lived in blissful ignorance until white people pointed out that their naughty bits were different shapes. White people are the serpent who tempted Eve. We are Original Sin.
