@DawnButlerBrent No, bring pro trans does NOT make you anti woman. What makes Labour’s current position anti woman is a trans ideology that many trans people disagree with. One which denies sexual reality itself, even the existence of women as-a-sex & therefore their autonomous political rights
@DawnButlerBrent One which is so intolerant of all dissent that we are not allowed to talk about this, that the people who want to find a rational, evidence based approach that protects women’s rights yet also improves the lives, services & freedom from prejudice of trans people are subject
@DawnButlerBrent to slander, vilification & intimidation. More and more people are waking up to the absurdities of identity politics Dawn and if the left do not advocate for democratic debate, for freedom from intimidation & for a vision which advances the lives of each group whilst preserving
@DawnButlerBrent the autonomy of each then you will drive good people to find sanity elsewhere to the huge benefit of the right and a continuation of the toxic divisions, the authoritarian, sexist & futile battle to shut women up. We wont believe in absurdities, that males are literally female
@DawnButlerBrent But that has never precluded treating trans people as equal citizens, fighting the system that produces prejudice or improving our services and human dignity. Abandoning the sex-denial fantasy politics & it’s inevitable anti-collectivism & authoritarianism is a precondition for
@DawnButlerBrent a rational trans movement to emerge which doesn’t trample on women’s rights & is in a position to seek common cause with women for good services for all, against gender norms & the (overwhelmingly) male violence we both suffer & the system which breeds both & then cuts services
@DawnButlerBrent *being* not bring
