In case people are baffled about the stir over the poster tuesday, it's because elsewhere she posts stuff like this:
Yesterday, Michael Gibbon grilled Bev Jackson over her use of the words "male bodied people" to refer to trans women.
Her response was:
"Yes it is unfortunate that we have to say "male bodied", some people would prefer to say "men". We are asked constantly why we had to form, why we exclude trans people, there are already lots of LGBT organisations. We have had to have a position from the start."
He then made heavy weather of their deliberate decision to exclude the T, forcing her to say:
"Well, yes, that is the point. Many organisations started off as LGB and we felt that was getting lost. It never occurred to us that we would have to deal with excluding the T because the T was not the point, we were for the LGB."
He then replied by saying:
"So the decision to exclude trans people was deliberate then."
Well, yes Michael, it was. Bev has just explained why.
You can't just quietly go along with it for a quiet life, because as soon as you do anything which does not put trans people front and centre, as soon as you use any kind of vocabulary they object to, you are vilified. You can't do anything in your own interests or quietly get on with your own stuff without trans activists in your face saying, "What about trans people? Why don't you care about trans people? Are you transphobic?"
And the quibbles over the use of the expression "male bodied people".... I mean, really.
We're not allowed to call trans women "men", even if we believe that men are male people and women are female people.
We're not allowed to call trans women "male people", because that doesn't correspond to their inner perception of themselves inside their own head (even though your sex is primarily in your reproductive system, not your brain).
So we are forced to use clunky phrases such as "male bodied people" to communicate the fact that there are some situations in which people who were born (and remain) biologically male and have male bodies do not belong in female spaces, regardless of how they feel inside or even how innocent their intentions are.
But they still object to that.
At the end of the day, they aren't objecting to the words we use, but to our right to express certain concepts. Such as the concept of humans coming in two biological sexes, and there being important differences between the two sexes which are not impacted by your personal identity. And the concept of same sex attraction, meaning being sexually attracted to people of the same biological sex as yourself, i.e. people with the same kind of genitalia you have, not people who believe they identify as the same thing you are.
This is why it is naive to assume that if you ignore the nonsense and just get on with your life quietly, it won't affect you.
Sooner or later you are going to find yourself given a verbal warning at work for using the wrong pronoun, or see your teenage daughter lose her spot on the sports team to a trans identifying male teenager, or be told by a rape crisis organisation that if you don't feel comfortable attending a women only therapy group where "male bodied people" are present, they won't help you (and neither will any other rape crisis organisation).
It's just getting worse and worse, and unfortunately it's not going to stop until a majority of people stand up and say, "No. I support trans people's rights to live in a way that makes the most sense to them, but not at the expense of everyone else's rights. This has gone too far."
