EVERY time someone writes the socially acceptable lie that: "trans women are women"
I feel a sick jolt that the rejoinder, which is the absolute truth: "transwomen are men" is not equally sayable.
Instead, it is open to censorship, sanctions, bannings, deletions, and possible civil and criminal action.
It should be easier, more permissable, to say and write the truth than it is to say or write a lie. But it isn't any more.
But we're already at the point in time where
"some males are women" is entirely allowable, and
"all males are men" is shocking, socially unacceptable, 'unkind', disallowed, censorable and potentially criminal.
In the UK, in 2020.
This terrifies me.
If the mayor of London can write "trans women are women" then a British woman must, must, must be equally free to say "no, transwomen are men".
It should scare us all that we never hear that sentence spoken any more, and we are scared of the consequences of writing it as honestly and plainly as that. Transwomen are men.
I want desperately for MNHQ to understand that to censor the truth but to allow or uphold the lie is deeply horrifying and Orwellian. I'm hoping that this post will be allowed to stand. I don't believe it breaks guidelines.
But the test of it will be this:
Khan: "trans women are women"
Me: "transwomen are men"
