Today, for the first time in my life, I bought a paper copy of the Mail on Sunday.

It has actually come to this. But the leftist media has sold women down the river on this issue while the Mail has actually done some serious reporting. Shocking.

That is a really good, really calm and logical explanation. He also reminds us all (hopefully also trans rights activists):

Trans individuals suffer above-average levels of mental illness, poor physical health and yes, discrimination. Yet none of those problems is helped by aggressive lobbyists trying to enforce an agenda and silence dissent. A calm and even mundane debate would serve transgender people better.

Great article-especially the comments re: Penny Mordaunt swithering. I see ForwomenScot have posted suggestions for Scottish women to write to MPs about this (non devolved) legislation, as joining Resisters United (UK/Irish groups) for this Day of Action: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3519928-UPDATE-CONTACT-VISIT-YOUR-MP-FOR-INTERNATIONAL-WOMENS-DAY

Stop Funding Hate have decided to take issue with the points in this article which are standing up for women’s rights, where they conflict with the demands of TRAs. So many ways this is wrong. Women’s rights aren’t hate.

Twitter won’t let me comment at the moment but if anyone can explain to Stop Funding Hate why their above tweet is in fact spreading hate against women who wish to set boundaries please please do.

Stop Funding Hate are a dodgy group themselves. Employ a lot of far tactics similar to Antifa.

Obviously the DM are going have their own bias on this but I've seen enough about this org that suggests a dangerous and totalitarian mindset.

I don't think pointing out on Twitter will do any good. They aren't some neutral group with no skin in the game. They won't give a jot about damage to women.

Lysistrataknowsherstuff · 04/03/2019 11:35

Did anyone else think when the TRAs let off that smoke bomb in the Mail building that they'd just shot themselves in the foot and now it's all starting to show?

HumberElla · 04/03/2019 11:45

Oh was that the DM building? That's interesting. Not exactly a master class on how to make friends and influence people, that's for sure.

Very good article, comprehensive and clear. Thank you once again James for writing about this.

I applaud the Mail for covering this when other media outlets have shied away, although the side bar of shame reminded me why I am not a Mail reader. It did inform me that Keith Flint is dead however - which is sad.

I think you are right, sadly. I was more thinking of their followers (90K+) who might not realise what they are actually dismissing. I used to think stop funding hate were a good thing.
