1./ What’s “normal”? If you believe Lorna Slater, Scotland’s very own low rent Greta Thurnberg it’s gender self identification where males get to hang out in girls changing rooms and lesbians get told objecting to lady penis is transphobic. 👇

2./ Lorna fails to mention the first country to let any guy say he’s a woman (no questions asked) was a corrupt basket-case. Argentina’s government introduced a Self-ID policy to distract attention from multiple scandals and its ruination of the economy. Sound familiar?👇

3./ This breakthrough was then used by the lobby group @ILGAWORLD (who were excluded by the UN for over a decade because of their relationship with a paedophile outfit) to argue there was no safeguarding risk despite Argentina conducting no research. Very Normal. 👇

4./ The same dodgy organisation had close links to Malta and managed to get its gangster-ridden govt to rush through Self-ID. Many in the Cabinet that pushed it through are now implicated in the car bomb assassination of a journalist to cover up money laundering. Normal?👇

5./ The proponents of gender Self-ID claim there’s never been a problem in Ireland. That’s only true IF you ignore male sex offenders in women’s prisons or a trans teenager with a pattern of violence against women pleading to be placed in detention with women. Normal?👇

6./ Slater mentions Canada but somehow manages to ignore Jessica Yaniv, one of British Columbia’s least forgettable leading trans activists, who railed in racist fashion against women who refused to wax “her” testicles. Then sued them. Normal? 👇

7./ Lorna is such a huge fan of self ID it’s a surprise she didn’t mention that other Canadian icon of Self-ID, Stefoknee Wolscht, who self identified as a 6 year old girl and campaigned vociferously for access to the little girls’ room. Normal?👇

8./ Strange too that Slater didn’t mention the experience of Self-ID in California where a transwoman and huge campaigner for Self-ID recently went on the run from the cops after allegedly exposing “her”penis in a spa’s women’s changing room. Normal?👇threadreaderapp.com/thread/1411888…

9./ Self-ID fans argue some countries who’ve introduced it must have checked it carefully. But Belgium, for example, is a byword for dysfunction and so splintered it was used as a terrorist revolving door. Normal? I wouldn’t trust them to check any
law properly. Or its outcome.

10./And how come if Australia is such a model when it comes to gender law, Slater doesn’t argue for the wholesale adoption of its many other laws? Why not follow its example on immigration, the one that led to refugees being “dumped” on an island. 👇

11./ As for Denmark which is lauded as so wise and progressive on Self-ID, its immigration laws are also criticised as “Far Right” and involve sending back Syrian refugees to Damascus which the Danes insist is safe. Curious how selective Slater is. 👇

12./ The trans lobby praises any country that passes one of its pet laws. It doesn’t matter if the country is run by gangsters, thieves or migrant dumpers. It’s the same hypocrisy that praises Pakistan as a trans pioneer; even tho it executes gays.👇

13./ Truth is, we should never unquestioningly adopt a new law -on immigration, gender or anything else- just because a few countries have adopted it. The argument that some careless Kiwi or Belgian politicians think a new law is a fabulous idea is no argument at all.

14./ We need our legislators to scrutinise our laws but some, like Slater, appear to view their role as obediently delivering the agenda of a tiny lobby with outsize influence. She may think its distinctly creepy agenda is “normal”. But that says more about her than us.
