The GRA allows the issue of a new birth certificate. THAT was the original intention of the recognition campaign. The new birth certificate provides all that is needed. It leaves no question as to someones legal sex.
Some nasty bigoted people would like to take that away from a tiny minority who really depend on it's security.
Some nasty bigoted people. Interesting phrasing and not, I would suggest, in the spirit.
But seeing as you introduced the phrase, let’s turn it round and see things from the perceptive of women who care about women’s sex-based rights instead.
Some nasty bigoted people would like to take away women’s rights to single sex spaces, sports and service, rights that we really need and depend on. They want to take them away despite knowing that we are the more vulnerable, more disadvantaged and more marginalised of the two sexes. (Or perhaps because of knowing that: who knows? Who can fathom the mind of a nasty, bigoted person?)
They want to deny the impact of being born female in a world calculated and designed to serve those born male. They want to make it impossible for those born female to take the steps they need specifically to redress the huge imbalance of power, wealth, economic security, personal safety between the sexes. They want to make it a crime, in social terms if not legal ones (though often in legal terms too) for women to even want to do this.
They want to turn the truth on its head in more ways than one, and make out that those of us defending ourselves from this onslaught on our rights are actually the aggressors the ones trying to take away other people’s rights, just as you intimated in your post, your post that some of us see as nasty and bigoted, Redlake.
Just as domestic abusers, for example, are wont to make out their victims are abusing them. It’s a very, very common dynamic, this type of gaslighting and reversal. So common it even has its own acronym: DARVO. Deny. Attack. Reverse Victim and Offender.
Because those with more power who use that power to control those with less power hate being called out on it.
Some people are nasty and bigoted indeed, they really are. And when those people have power and privilege by virtue of the sex they were born, so that governments listen to them and change laws around them and accord them even more power and privilege than that which they were born into, while taking rights and safety away from those who were born into disadvantage on the sex axis - then those nasty, bigoted, misogynistic people are very dangerous to women.
