Hundreds of professionals contacted me about my thread about Jo’s comments & told me that they totally agreed with her, but were too scared to say anything at work or on social media due to threats, violence & consequences.
This woman stood the fuck up.
Stand up with her.

So many women have been saying this shit for years. Women’s views matter. Women’s experiences matter.
Women are loudly saying they are uncomfortable with issues around this and we need to listen to every voice on this matter.
We will not move through this until we do.

Scientists, GPs, researchers, psychologists, lawyers, teachers, counsellors contacted me this week to tell me they agreed with every word she said
All of them said that they would be sacked, threatened, abused if they spoke out.
You cannot stay silent on this complex debate.

It’s fuckin scary, I get it, you wanna protect yourself, I get that too.
You see the threats and abuse women get for giving their views. I know you do.
But this is the issue, you’re all sat there with your qualifications and authority and power and you’re not using it.

Women have been oppressed globally for millennia.
Women are oppressed as a class cos of their sex, and have been for as long as we can all remember.
Women are angry because we haven’t even scratched the surface of sex based oppression & now we are being told sex is irrelevant.

Women have been hung out to dry over and over and over again through history.
This time, we have the power to argue, debate, discuss, explore and ensure that gender AND sex is protected and understood better.
Do not leave a handful of women to do this if you know you agree.

One last thing:
If you have different opinions around gender and sex - you have nothing to be ashamed of.
If you attack, mock, ridicule, harass, harm, bully, abuse trans people then you do need to be ashamed.
This debate does not need hatred towards trans people, ever.

You can search my whole twitter, private and personal social media / I will never engage in abusing or mocking trans people. Never. I will never attack them. I will never accuse them of crime etc.
But I do have differing views on gender theory. That’s where my line is drawn.
