So why is it, I hear some of you cry, that we can’t just #bekind and accept that people are who they say they are? Now that I know I may discuss this with the promise of some nice damages if the police record me for doing so, let me explain my perspective.
Because we are not simply being asked to offer dignity and respect to an individual who may be suffering emotional pain. It is being demanded that we deny what is real - to accept there are no differences between men and women. 
This is obviously mad. It defies everything we know about male bodies, male sexual responses and male violence. And it leads to offensive absurdities like this. Same newspaper, 2 months later.
And yet. Despite some arguing that there is no difference between a penis and a finger etc others argue that their ‘gender identities’ are clear and strong, but will be based on regressive stereotypes of femininity that cluster around hair and frocks.
The human rights violations for women are abundant and serious here. We are expected to believe something tangibly untrue and deny our own identity. Until Harry’s victory this was on pain of police involvement but many of us still face action from our regulators and employers.
Women will never accept this. And why should anyone seriously think they would? No other group is expected to hand over their physical reality to be reduced to a feeling in someone else’s head. Whatever the consequences for me, I will keep on saying this.
But, more importantly, I will keep on taking direct action, using my own #LawFare and supporting the direct action of others.
