@MRichterMontpet @Docstockk @stonewalluk As a transwoman I also agree with Professor Stock. Shame on you with you’re contemptible defamation. The existence & defence of women’s sexual reality is no threat to my existence; I am here, I exist, I thrive & I do so as a proud trans activist alongside my female friends. >
@MRichterMontpet @Docstockk @stonewalluk Neither does recognising dimorphic sexual reality in any way preclude our equality as trans people or our being treated with dignity & compassion. As you shout your defamations so confidently, let us reflect on who really has power here and who it is really on a power trip? >
@MRichterMontpet @Docstockk @stonewalluk YOU are the one trying to weild the authoritarian power of declaring heresy rather than weilding the democratising power of reason and evidence. YOUR stance is protected by Stonewall, by all the mainstream LGBT structures. YOUR slurs have repeatedly been backed up by the police >
@MRichterMontpet @Docstockk @stonewalluk who receive their training in such matters from official LGBT structures. Behind the police there has been at least the passive backing of govt departments. All UK mainstream political parties, many international bodies & huge big business money is behind policy you support > .
@MRichterMontpet @Docstockk @stonewalluk So let’s really ask who is on a power trip at this moment? You, with virtually the entire political establishment and branches of the state on the same policy push or Kathleen Stock & a bunch of feminist & left wing academics getting a platform in The Times? Do me a favour! >
@MRichterMontpet @Docstockk @stonewalluk The truth is we have a modest but rapidly growing women’s movement with trans & gay allies against virtually the entire liberal/corporate/Tory establishment, cynically &/or naively backing a tragically derailed trans movement abusing the just fight against discrimination for a >
@MRichterMontpet @Docstockk @stonewalluk thoroughly sexist but self-soothing rejection of reality. It will not stand and it only creates huge anger & fear, the breeding ground for hatred and prejudice. It delays the day when we can build a rational anti-sexist trans movement capable of really tackling transphobia & >
@MRichterMontpet @Docstockk @stonewalluk uniting on a voluntary basis with women to make real material gains in services, against underfunding of healthcare, housing, against prejudice, harmful gender norms and (overwhelmingly) male violence. >
@MRichterMontpet @Docstockk @stonewalluk When debate & engagement is denied with shouts of ‘heresy’ you are choosing forms of coercion instead. You’re choosing political/bureaucratic coercion, to delegitimise & silence us as heretics, later perhaps by making our ‘wrong think’ an illegal & unspeakable ‘hate crime’. >
@MRichterMontpet @Docstockk @stonewalluk Others like the male trans activist who tried to physically attack Julie Bindel prefer more kinetic forms of coercion. It’s two sides of the same coin. You cannot engage because your case crumbles under scrutiny. I tell you now. Nothing on this earth will stop us. >
@MRichterMontpet @Docstockk @stonewalluk No amount of coercion, smears, threats, violence or law will stop us from speaking out and insisting upon scrutiny, dialogue and reason. Get over it....or get out of the way because we will not bow down to your cretinous, creeping totalitarianism dividing society, dividing >
@MRichterMontpet @Docstockk @stonewalluk the movements & opening the door to right wing demagogues posing as bringers of sanity, rationality & decency in the face of your authoritarian dystopia of enforced, sexist fairy tales. We WILL scrutinise, WE WILL debate & WE WILL grow. Sexism is not the right side of history.
