1./ The #WiSpa debate matters because it shows Gender Self-ID is unworkable. It opens women's single sex spaces to any male who says they're a woman, no questions asked, and women who complain about males wandering around naked get labelled transphobic.👇

2./ Supporters of Self-ID point out entry now to bathrooms doesn't require proof of being a woman and some transwomen who really LOOK like women can pass unnoticed. All this ignores the huge social taboo there is now that stops men who look like men entering women's spaces.

3./ A guy who wanders into a woman's changing room now will testify to the horror experienced and the quick retreat. Self-ID erodes that because it says it doesn't matter what you look like or what you're packing. There's no gatekeeping to become a woman. Nor to being trans.

4./ The trans movement widened the definition from transsexual to include cross-dressers, non binary and queer. So that now means trans includes this Canadian activist who identifies as a 6 year old and campaigns for access to girls bathrooms. 'She' also loves showing off.👇

5./ Self-ID means brave Stefoknee Wolscht gets to stroll into a girls changing room because...well she says she's a girl. And if you don't believe Stefoknee is for real...here's that great journalistic sponsor of car crash interviews, Pink News, covering 'her' uplifting tale.👇

6./ Self ID means anyone who says they're a woman (or a girl) gets to enter women's single sex spaces and so that means one of my favourite trans fashion icons, Alex Drummond, who claims to be a lesbian can join Stefoknee in a stroll round my niece's changing room.

7./ Alex embodies the problem with saying a woman can look like anything. Alex says 'she' has male tackle and is proud of the beard. But if another person, just an actual bloke with a beard, wanders into your daughter's changing room how are you to know who's trans and who's not?

8./ There's no answer to this paradox. Here's a notable transman ridiculing the idea of someone who looks like 'him' going into women's spaces. "Can you imagine ME walking into a women's bathroom? I don't think they would be happy". So why would they be happy with Alex doing it?

9./ When critics of Self-ID pointed out some of these logical contradictions we were told to stop worrying. No one with a penis would or should be dangling it around in a girl's changing room. Here's Jolyon Maugham suggesting a good tut tut should stop that bad behaviour. 👇

10./ That was 2019. In the wake of the row over Wi Spa the mood has altered. Twitter is veritably throbbing with trans activists declaring that if you have a daughter that might be shocked by seeing a penis in her changing room you should teach her...not to look. 👇

11./ I hope that's now clear. Under Self-ID it will be legal for any male no matter what he looks like (maybe Stefoknee or Alex, beard, or no beard?) and if that male wishes to stroll around tackle-out it is your daughter's fault for noticing. What could possibly go wrong?

12./ The gender identity lobby should hope we manage to get such idiocy stopped. We know its proponents are largely daft. The public may not be so tolerant. They may conclude a certain ad last year from @ALLIANCELGB and @ForwomenScot wasn't only accurate. It was prophetic.👇
