Consider this: in every country where #SelfID is now law, TRAs conspire with the authorities and tame journalists to obscure the truth of just how harmful it really is.
Everything from overwriting sex with gender when reporting crimes, to failing to record sex in the first place.
The aim has been a certain plausible deniability: records are uncertain, data misinterpreted, no evidence has been presented, etc.
Who can say how helpful or harmful it has been really?
Better to just celebrate our sparkly progressive ‘newtopia.’

But it won’t be like that here.
The more I consider it, the more convinced I am that it was necessary for the #GenderRecognitionReformBill to pass into law in order for us to kill it dead once and for all.

Think about it: this is gender ideology’s flagship policy. Pushed by the @UN around the world with a
propaganda spin that would make Machiavelli blush.

The only reason we know about all the problems it has caused is because of the *brave women in those countries asking questions and getting the word out regardless.

And this is #TERFisland.

They named this island for us.
Nothing is going to save @scotgov from this.
This is their baby and it’s going to grow up fast.
Predators won’t hold back to save their blushes.
Gender identity won’t suddenly become real and substantial to justify their actions.
Young people won’t hold off on making the biggest
mistake of their lives just because @scotgov says they’re mature enough to choose lifelong medicalisation.

All the problems of #SelfID are in the pipeline and already on the way. All the isolated crimes and dramas we’ve witnessed over the years, now convening on this one corner
of the country.

#StonewallLaw just became Scottish Law.

Now, Scotland is about to peak the nation into a new Reformation.

Happy Christmas and Merry Terfmas to you all.

And bring on the New Year when #TERFIsland gets to work!

Instructive to see the bile and misinformation directed @beirasplace.

So many times women have been reprimanded, excluded, cancelled and worse for not going along with gender ideology.
“If you don’t like it, tough.
Stay home.”

The last thing they expected was for us to rebuild.
But that’s exactly what we’ve been doing all along:

@MerchedCymru
@ForWomenScot
@TheCountessIE
@Womans_Place_UK
replacing women’s orgs that no longer speak up for women.

@ALLIANCELGB
@LGBAllies_Cymru
@GetTheLOutUK etc.
replace LGB orgs that no longer fight for same sex rights.
@ReduxxMag
@AHFdoco
@Vaishax
@jo_bartosch
and all the others breaking news and sharing the facts about gender ideology’s toll on society.

And all the sub stacks that helped get the word out.

They put the @guardian @Independent and all the rest to shame.

We’re not staying home.

There really is no way forward but to #RepealTheGRA.

This is a definitive clash between Gender Reassignment otoh, and Sex, Sexuality & Belief oto.

GR, without the practical enforcement of its legal certificate, is little more than personality expressed via gender stereotypes.
But because in reality it’s a psychological condition, it’s inescapably locked into escalation.

I feel like a man (euphoria)
I look like a man (validation)
I’m treated as a man (confirmation)
Treat me like a man (inclusion)
See me as a man (imposition)
Say I’m a man (control)
This escalation set it on a fixed course from its beginning,
to override the Protected Characteristics that would otherwise undermine it.

Sex renders GR a fiction.
Sexuality reveals it as constructed, not innate.
Belief denies it outright.

This is protected by law.

For real?
Why are some people not mentally ill?
Why so into reality?
Why won’t they say they like porn-style sex? Why don’t they the perform gender stereotypes of the opposite sex?
Why don’t they hate their bodies?

Sure, let’s study that.

Write this down 🧵
Lesson one: There’s no such thing as cis, only those with a mind/body disconnect, and those without.
However your body looks/whatever your mind feels, it’s still the same mind/body. That’s what makes you YOU.

Lesson two: You are what you are. No surgery in the world changes that
Lesson three: You are being commodified.

identity
expression
euphoria/dysphoria
suicide ideation
how you have sex/never have sex/never will have sex
as you slice & dice yourself into the appropriate shape of your chosen gender

you will never stop making $$$ for industry.

I could only read half, but these points jump out:

Your views on trans rights don’t make you ineligible for a public role; they inform and, for some, excuse your unbecoming and partisan behaviour.

You replied to the “satirical” account with more than a smiley, it was full blown
participation in the further monstering of a woman YOU KNOW has received threats and abuse.

The claim is you’ve abused your position to bully and traduce writers who believe sex matters,
not “who don’t agree with [your] support of the trans community.”

Support who you like.
Just don’t pretend it’s compatible with being scrupulously fair and neutral when your support takes the form of interacting with “satirical” attacks on women’s fears of violence, liking and retweeting bullying campaigns, and targeting those women whose views you disagree with.

If there’s no such thing as a trans child (and there isn’t), what is being described here?

Asking a girl if she likes a boy might assume het values, but boys OR girls can like trucks, so why the conflation?

It can only be a form of gender conversion therapy targeting gnc boys. ImageImageImageImage
Transing children IS conversion therapy.
It takes gender non conforming boys who don’t like trucks and assumes they are really girls.
It takes gender non conforming girls who DO like trucks, and assumes they are boys.
And it proceeds to then medicalise them, as young as possible,
with drugs that stop their bodies from developing normally, with normal function and natural appearance;
and it feeds them cross-sex hormones to take on the outward appearance of the opposite sex - which their bodies cannot cope with - so they develop problems, from bone issues,

“I disagree with gender critical people” is being used as justification to do increasingly bad things.
To surround a fellow schoolgirl and swear and spit on her. To don black balaclavas and shove and manhandle women. To intimidate libraries with threats of arson. To target Black
lesbians, their health, income and careers.

To disrupt conferences talking about the lives of women and girls around the world. To deny single sex services to rape survivors. To ensure female prisoners have no protection from male-bodied inmates. To derail abortion campaigns.
To shut down questions about the high rates of girls transitioning.
To avoid questions of pharmaceutical funding, growth markets for PBs, and younger patients as a customer base for life.
And don’t get me started on the early sexualisation of children & the end of safeguarding …
