Defending biology should mean no representation?

If this doesn't set out the agenda in clear plain sight I don't know what will.
I simply cannot get my head around why organisations and individuals sign in support - do they actually just not understand what they are reading? Can they really not see the legitimate concerns that women have?
I really feel like I have to step away from reading this stuff. It is warping my sense of reality where I'm beginning to feel like I am the outrider in all this and everyone 'gets' it except me. I really fear for my children in this new world where no-one should have representation unless they agree.

Yourhair look at some of the views of Labour, Green and LibDem MPs now and historically. Blair, Brown and Mandelson were quite openly of the opinion that democracy needed getting rid of really because the voters were too stupid/had the wrong views/were all bigots who needed to be controlled by those who knew better. Mandelson said quite openly that "we are entering a post democratic era" by which he basically meant politicians could do what they wanted without democracy and public opinion getting in the way. The current loony left are the children of that lot, this despising of ordinary people and real life goes a long way back and this is the extreme end of it as it frays apart because those parties cannot see nor process that they cannot hold those views and treat people this way AND still win elections.

But yes. There is an open belief that those who don't hold the 'right' views shouldn't really be allowed votes. Or jobs (doxx them). Or right to life (kerb stomping, diagf). This is extremism in a way that has only ever been seen in religious factions and it needs now to be recognised as such. It doesn't matter what the beliefs are: when they begin to include the expression of such profound detachment from and disrespect for the rights and safety of others and for the usual standards of British life then it needs government control.

That government are actually colluding in this..... the world has gone mad.

I can understand why some of those individuals have signed because they're notorious arseholes, but proper feminsts cheering this on... ah, here.

The victim complex of the trans community is just breathtaking. Anyone disagreeing with the ideology, no matter how politely, is Threatening Them. Anyone focused on women and not trans people is deemed hateful, with 'intersectional' code for 'shut up about women'.

I am disappointed but not surprised to see this out there.

This really is appalling. And cannot be allowed to stand.

I think that we should all try to write to Amnesty if we can spare the time - I am sure that letters will make a difference, especially if we promise to try to publicise their response - however smug they appear, organisations like Amnesty ARE bothered about their reputation.

TENI received about €170k from this crew. A grant to support women. Rethink Ireland are an organisation who match government funding to philanthropic funds raised for various causes. They retweeted support for this awful letter. A. Government. Body. Their annual return is 14 months to the companies registration office is 14 months overdue now; usually strike off proceedings would have commenced but it seems there are delays due to Covid.

@Escapeplanning

It's very overwrought. Well done LGB Alliance, you have definitely got them rattled.

If everything is perfect already as claimed here then there wouldn't be any opposition. All this actually seems to do is tell bigot and transphobia over and over which is the sum total of counter arguments isn't it?

I think this is very true: they are rattled. The emergence of the LGB Alliance, their excellent engagement in the mainstream media, the emergence of a number of strong voices in the TwitterSphere, the push back against the content of the BeLonGTo material that they were hoping to slide into schools unnoticed, all this runs the risk of bringing into the sunlight, into the public domaine the problems stemming from Self-ID, the implications of trans ideology. This is an attempt to silence and to censor. It is the behaviour of people who will not be well-served by public debate.
