The logic of trans activism leads to surreal debate, but the grown-ups are fighting back

Thanks for link.

Thanks for the link. How good to see a mainstream newspaper finally allowing use of the word 'silly' describing some of this stuff. Well done, Sarah Ditum.

Britain’s first openly trans MP was also “bitterly disappointed” in the government. That’s the Conservative Jamie Wallis, who came out last month to much celebration of his bravery (and much not mentioning of his dodgy business enterprises, including running a sugar daddy site), followed by the limp trombone noise of him announcing: “I will continue to present as I always have done and will use he/him/his pronouns.” Which makes him a man, heroically coming out as a man.

Thanks for the link. Great article and great comments!

This is a marvellous article.

Ditum does it again. Brilliant.

"Britain’s first openly trans MP..." Is he, though? I thought he was just a man who said he might like to do something in the future, or summat along those lines.

We also I’ve to remember that the kids ARE growing up and thinking for themselves. Than god.

Great article. Have to say I saw the Penis News article about the TW in Ukraine and had similar thoughts.

Great article.

Great article! I read an article where a transman was fleeing Ukraine and having to 'misgender' themselves by reverting to their female self to get out of having to fight for their country. I must admit I thought it ironic that the trauma of being misgendered was clearly less than that of fighting as a man in an appalling war. Funny how the desire to identify as a male was so much less in these circumstances! Cognitive dissonance at its finest!
