“We stand with you, we hear you, we see you, we accept you, we love you. The world is better for having you in it,” they said.

How many of these people realise the ideas they’re actually supporting unjustly EXCLUDE many proud trans people as illegitimate cos we don’t deny sex?
How many of these people realise that believing in an innate, essential identity which supercedes sex in every instance is not at all the same as being trans and MANY trans people disagree with parts or all of these claims?
It’s good that they want to stand with vulnerable trans people against hatred. Quite how JKRowling’s brave assertion of female reality & unique needs is hate I do not know. Infact, if female existence & uniqueness is a problem for you, guess what? You’ve swallowed misogyny & >
you are working against diversity, against pluralism. You are tragically mistaken, dangerous even, if you think that trans lives will be advanced by denying women’s. #IStandWithJKRowling AND for a trans narrative NOT founded on the intrinsic sexism of denying sexual reality

The right wing offer anti trans politics with traditional patriarchal gender norms all dressed up as women’s rights.

The liberal establishment offers anti women politics with new patriarchal norms dressed up as trans rights.

Progressives don’t fall for either of these >
discriminatory, divisive & ultimately pro-establishment dead ends. Progressives are for the rights of all oppressed groups to autonomy, space, equality, freedom from prejudice, violence and life-limiting gender norms. This is the territory the left should be on. >
Instead it is tailing the logic of a liberal establishment trap. Each side of the establishment culture war is reinforcing hate, division and reaction in the other. The bulk of the left is betraying women and in turn, in the context of the dominant establishment framing this >

Good thread. As some of us have said before, there has been widespread goodwill towards trans people in the UK for years. Stonewall et al could’ve galvanised & unified mass support for better healthcare, services & practical advances that didn’t infringe upon womens rights. >
Instead they chose to try to steamroller through, without scrutiny (& using terrible slanders & witch-hunting) a quasi-religious dogma that risks not only undermining womens rights & the rights of same sex attracted people (as well as stigmatising trans people like me), but also>
it risks undermining that broadly sympathetic public opinion and scoring own goal after own goal, taking trans people backwards, all from the hugely promising position of having a massive open goal of progressive possibility in terms of British social attitudes. >

When politicians, medicine & the courts eventually have to confront the true scale of detransition & perhaps then also those with ‘transition regret’ who don’t detransition because it’s “too late”, perhaps then they will recognise affirmation-only policies as a form of abuse >
Drastic, irreversible surgeries & treatment should be a last resort, fully informed adult option for treating gender dysphoria. Cruelly long waiting lists for healthcare support must be shortened with resources, with evidence based care & by action against harmful gender norms>
particularly when children are being stunted, stigmatised, abused & feeling their bodies/sex must be ‘wrong’ because they don’t fit into the intensified (& pornified) sex stereotypes now swamping the culture children grow up in & in which girls are particularly disadvantaged. >

Real shame @PeterTatchell has pulled out from the debate, presumably under pressure from the ‘no-debaters’ of ‘identity-over-sex’ authoritarianism. As none of them are willing to discuss how we can move forward, this could’ve helped constructively illuminate some of the issues.>
For me the quality of an argument does not rest solely upon who says it & from which demographic they come from, though that can obviously matter as a general rule and often it can matter a great deal. >
However, it does not mean that other human beings cannot bring related or connected insight, experience or knowledge from outside a specific group or groups which can usefully illuminate or even progress general understanding within or in relation to those other groups of people>

BOOM

A cry of trans reason NOT trans treason.

Stop unproven & harmful ‘wrong body’ framing by ‘trans identity’ zealots & by @scotgov
It reinforces widespread adult prejudice/stigma & rejection of gender-non-conformity in children & in some cases panders to anti-gay parents
There’s nothing wrong with gnc kids. What’s wrong is an adult society whose narrow, false & oppressive notions of what boys & girls should be/wear/do makes feminine boys & masculine girls feel utterly rejected & illegitimate as boys & girls. No child is born in the wrong body
Study after study across cultures, over decades shows that with watchful waiting the majority of kids who identify as trans stop doing so after puberty & most turn out to be gay & lesbian youngsters. Stop transing away & medicalising perfectly healthy gnc kids or homosexuality.>

Woke de-anchoring from reality, from collectivist values, feminism & from a progressive movement rooted in representative, life affirming, socially positive sexuality rights, risks opening the door to every bigoted slander ever falsely associated with LGB people or trans people,>
with every anti-social, alienated degradation there is, from bestiality to paedophillia & from there to an even bigger welcome mat & path for far right reaction than the bulk of the organised left has already provided by disgracefully abandoning (or worse) the field of battle >
over women’s sex & LGB sexuality rights leaving an enormous justice vacuum of under-representation free for the organised right to falsely pose as defenders of women, children & decent values. Fuck off with your dangerously shallow, imbecilic identity politics. >
