I think Jane may be unhappy about something or other. Can't think what /s
All the classics are there: right wing funding, denyong people's existence...
As a procession of journalists/not-journalists continue to shill unashamedly, unquestioningly for the gender crits, a pattern, some background that the former seem blithely ignorant of.
A thread.

They – the gender crits – declared they only wanted to talk, while setting up a batch of pseudo-organisations and so-called charity platforms, little more than social media groups, that blatantly excluded mainstream trans voices.

They – the gender crits – said it was all about the Gender Recognition Act and women's concerns....while their leading lights talked openly about removing ALL rights from trans people and driving us out of existence - and journalists/not-journalists said nothing.

They – the gender crits – caricatured any GRA changes as ushering in an armageddon for women, while seemingly unaware, ignorant, or lying that the changes proposed did nothing to affect rights trans people had exercised for decades, with no problem.

They – the gender crits – happily scooped up hundreds of thousands in funding, including significant donations from far right Christian fundamentalists with an anti-woman agenda, while claiming it was all about defending women.
And journalists/not-journalists said nothing.
twitter.com/JaneFae/status/1180767075989643264?s=19
They – the gender crits – set out on a campaign of publicity stunts designed to exclude trans people from public spaces, while journalists/not-journalists treated it all as a bit of a lark.
A thing to debate politely in two minute set piece televised confrontations.

They – the gender crits – paint trans women as sexual deviants, while erasing the validity of trans men and non-binary existence.
Publicly, they endorsed a campaign that incited taxi drivers and bikers to use violence against trans people. Because they only wanted to talk.
twitter.com/JaneFae/status/1180767618074058752?s=19
They – the gender crits – set about invading any and every trans space, intimidating trans folk, denying trans people the safety they demand for themselves.
But it was only about women's concerns.
twitter.com/JaneFae/status/1180767830712705024?s=19
They – the gender crits – initiated a co-ordinated campaign to make it harder/impossible for young trans and gender questioning people to get support in schools. And journalists/ not-journalists said it was just another debate.
