1./ Why does this photo of Christine Burns with an anti-TERFS slogan matter? Burns is an icon of the UK's trans lobby (there's a low bar) and the slogan is revealingly apt because Burns has been plotting against women and their rights for 30 years. Here's the evidence.👉

2./ In 1998, Burns recalled how 5 years before "she" had heard a lecture that inspired a revolutionary new vision: 'sex' should be removed from all legal documents. The way Burns chose to defend this erasure of biological sex and therefore of women and gays was revealing.

3./ If you listen to trans activists now they claim the soaring numbers of kids identifying as trans isn't social contagion. But back then, Burns argued that erasing sex from documents would help most the trans population who, Burns said, were just 5000 people, 0.01% of the UK.

4./ It would be so obviously questionable to undermine laws affecting 99.99% of the population to prioritise just 0.01% that Burns tried to justify the change by claiming it would benefit women. No longer would girls be condemned to "a lifetime's expectation of second place."

5./ If only feminists had realised they just had to disinvent the category of women and all their women problems would be solved....no doubt, by the same magic that allows Burns to become so very proud of being so very....err..."lesbian" (at 1 min 45).👇

6./ Luckily, we knew already how high an opinion Burns had of feminists. Burns notoriously said, "In a bizarre way rapists have a better line in manners [than feminists]. At least they treat their victims without prejudice as women. Ahh, shucks...rapists.

7./ We saw how high an opinion Burns has of women generally when "she" joined in on a stream of misogynistic jokes about @Womans_Place_UK, along with Aimee Challoner who failed to notify the Green Party about "her" dad's child rape charge. Aimee's dad was her electoral agent.

8./ Talking of jokes, Burns ridicules the idea anyone could abuse gender Self-ID. But here's Burns's colleague in 2003 from Burns's group, Press for Change, arguing how important it was to reassure MPs the recognition process could not be abused. Whoops.👇

9./ For 30 years, Burns claims to have been uplifting a tiny vulnerable community. But for all that time Burns has really been gaslighting 51% of the population. The fact Burns identifies as a member of that group shouldn't surprise us. No one does women better than transwomen!

10./ You could be forgiven for thinking the motive of some trans activists isn't a need to lift trans people up, but to change society so their personal contempt for women (and gays) is embodied in law.
That bag's slogan really is a lifetime's work. END
