Will she get a back lash for this, I wonder?

The main thing is I suppose to resist CIS at all costs, to refuse to entertain it or to be labelled as such

Which I do. But it isn’t helping keeping dicks out of our changing rooms.

We need to be able to pick our own battlegrounds and not expend our resources on those of other people's choosing—especially when those people do not have our interests at heart—which is what has been happening for some time.

Cis is a contriversy (a contrived or manufactured controversy aka manufactroversy) and it's wholly correct to refuse to engage with it although I respect anyone who argues that it needs an initial rejection and, No, thank you.

“ People like JP are definitely being sanctioned to say there is a difference between sex and gender but at no point is anyone in Labour (xpt for Rosie Duffield) saying sex is more important than gender and single sex spaces are for one sex only.”

That’s not true. Or are you forgetting who set up WPUK?

This is not a left vs right campaign, much as certain people are desperately trying to make it so for political gain.

There are people in the Conservative party who are still adamantly TWAW, just as there are women’s rights campaigners in the opposition parties.

What angers me is the attempted whitewashing of those very brave women on the Left who stood up against all this when it was so dangerous to do so. They are the ones who were heckled and assaulted. They are the ones who had their meetings threatened, cancelled and disrupted. Who remembers Paula Lamont heckled by TRAs?

Stop pretending these women don’t exist!

The thing that pisses me most of about 'CIS' is that they are assuming my gender which is Literal Violence. I can never be a cis woman as my 'gender' does not align with my sex.

@FOJN

Great way to offer a constructive analysis, bravo

I would have thought it was fairly obvious my intention was to express anger not offer constructive analysis. I wasn't aware that attempts at constructive analysis were the only posts permitted here.

Personally I find your work borders on the magisterial

What fucks me off a lot about Jess Phillips is her pretending that she doesn't understand that when one sex class starts changing the meaning of words to refer to the other sex class, politics - especially left-wind politics - becomes destabilised.
