“Women’s rights to control and protect their own bodies is diminishing across the globe” The Guardian

[Kit19]

This is a really good strong editorial about how women’s rights are going backwards.

So can I ask (or rather shout) how is it they do not see that publishing articles saying women are people who identify as one or musing on ‘gosh what is a woman anyway??’ Or perpetuating the idea That performing female stereotypes = woman? is part of the bloody problem??

Screams into void

Complacency and banal political or bureaucratic imperatives can damage women’s lives just as ideologically driven campaigns can

Thanks for pointing out this sentence! Does it read to anyone else as code for the trans agenda? We aren't complacent about our rights but the handmaidens/Umbridges most certainly are. GRA reform, the stealth rewriting of the Equality Act, and various other erosions of women's rights are indeed sold as "banal bureaucratic initiatives" that are make life a bit easier for trans people and don't harm anyone else.

Yes @Kantastic I read that editorial as including TW as women and saying they are as affected as biological women

Perhaps. The adjective 'banal' somehow seems fitting in that context, because the politicians are like Pavlov's dogs and they believe the trans activists hold the bell while not necessarily knowing anything about the issues. Or not caring about the issues. That is, though, very common among those who have no skin in the game, and men (with penises) do not at this point have any direct skin in the game. I believe things would look quite different if they read men's health articles and found themselves called 'ejaculators' and that complaining about the term means they are bigots.
