Thanks popchyk that was my understanding too. Transsexual and transvestite, or cross dressing, are not the same thing.
If any man who likes to put on women's clothing now comes under the trans umbrella that makes a nonsense of women's rights but also trans' rights. As a number of transwomen have pointed out, this could do them real harm.
A man who is heterosexual but dresses as a woman when he feels like it - she feels like? - then demands gay women have sex with him because he/she is now a lesbian, that's rape talk. And it doesn't stop being rape just because a man is wearing a frock.
Didn't Aimee Challenor's father, David, abuse a ten-year-old girl while he was wearing a nappy?
I'm not saying all trans people are sick or in it for the abuse. Most aren't and most are harmed by this. What I am saying is that it seems reasonable to suppose that the trans movement has been hijacked by some predators who see this as a permission pass to find their prey.
The same thing happened in the 1970s and early 80s with PIE (Paedophile Information Exchange) which hijacked the gay rights' movement and was for a while affiliated to the NCCL - National Council for Civil Liberties later to become Liberty. And again, back then, people didn't like to question it because male homosexuality had only recently been decriminalised and right-on people were anxious to be right-on. And yes, it DID call itself the Paedophile Information Exchange. Campaigned to have the age of consent lowered to three. Ostensibly so children could express sexual love for each other; in reality so dirty old men could gain access to young girls and boys.
It's horrible - really really horrible - being able to see all this and being told to shut up and sit down. But least PIE never got the government stamp of approval! "Come in, sit down, how can we help? Oh you want to go into schools do you, fine, go right ahead. Oh you want to be the official body to advise charities and other organisations? No worries. Oh you want seven million pounds a year to run your office? Course! Sure that's enough?"
Feck SAKE what is WRONG with people in charge that they can't see this? Do we have to wait for another Jimmy Savile type scandal to erupt before everyone goes all, oh dear! Oh dear oh dear oh dear. How could this have happened! Well what did you THINK was gonna happen!
