When a lobby group set up to defend and advance the cause of gay and lesbian people suddenly abandons gay and lesbian people, denies science, denies biology, denies the reality of sexual attraction itself, and imposes this denial across the UK, what did people think would happen?

When that lobby group lies about what the Equality Act does and doesn't say to universities, to the police, to Ofcom, to the BBC, to the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland governments, and tries to eliminate sex-based rights and erase women, what did people think would happen?

What the BBC reported yesterday is the exact, inevitable conclusion of denying same-sex attraction and insisting, against all evidence - which dates back to the beginning of the human race itself - that it's somehow about gender instead.

It's the exact, inevitable conclusion of the CEO of that lobby group comparing gender critical people to antisemites; of her comparing same-sex attracted people to racists; and of an increasingly loopy left doing no thinking whatsoever and loudly cheerleading this nonsense.

The exact, inevitable conclusion of the CEO of Edinburgh Rape Crisis - what job out there demands more safeguarding than the head of a rape crisis centre? - lying on their application, describing rape victims as 'privileged', and being SUPPORTED by the Scottish government.

MUH IT DOESN'T HAPPEN MUH NO RIGHTS ARE BEING TAKEN AWAY MUH THESE LESBIANS ARE LYING MUH THE BBC ARE HATEFUL TRANSPHOBES MUH JK ROWLING AND DAVE CHAPPELLE ARE HATEFUL TRANSPHOBES MUH THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING MUH RIGHT WING DOGWHISTLING MUH LALALA FINGERS IN EARS NOT LISTENING MUH

OF COURSE it's bloody happening.

ALL OF IT is bloody happening.

And it's getting worse all the time.

And it's the inevitable conclusion of anti-women, anti-LGB, anti-academic freedom, anti-science, evidence free bullshit.

What's that phrase so beloved of some people on here? Oh yes: 'Educate yourself'.

So how about taking your own advice - by starting here:
