"I IDENTIFY AS A WOMAN"

The thing Trans Rights Activists say will never happen happened last night in a club in Leeds, England.

In the early hours of this morning (Tues 24 Sep 2024) this man entered the women's bathroom. Image
It is Fresher's Week in Leeds and the bathroom was full of young women - many away from home for the first time, in a new city.

The brave among them demanded this man get out but he would not leave. Image
When this man refused to leave the women's bathroom, this brave young lady confronted him.

His response?

"I identify as a woman."

Trans Rights Activists have long argued that no-one is using trans-identification and gender self-ID laws to enter women's spaces for sexual exploitation.

This had always been a laughable statement given the propensity for sexual fetishes among men who identify as women. Image
But as gender critical feminists have asserted from day one, sexual predators will use any means they are presented with to gratify themselves.

This man has imbibed the culture.
He has learned, if you play the "trans card", people will be too frightened to further challenge you. Image
Better still for the predator, others may leap to your defence, and justify your being in women's spaces on account of your being "trans".

As this young woman says, the argument of GC feminists is not theoretical it is happening now.

I encouraged the young woman who entrusted me with her story to contact the Police to register a complaint of sexual harassment.

These days, the British Transport Police and Sadiq Khan classify that glance that lasts a second too long as potential sexual harassment. Image
Yet, when she spoke to @WestYorksPolice, they said, "There is no crime reported." Image
Whilst neither her or I expected anything to come of this one report, this young women knew the significance of recording incidents to corroborate any allegations other women may be forced to make in the future.

A man who acts as brazenly as this one will surely re-offend? Image
If he does, @WestYorksPolice will be responsible for the complete and unnecessary suffering of women who cannot rely on being safeguarded from men who would stalk, harass, and harm them. Image
Thankfully, the bouncers at @Warehouse_Leeds did not let political correctness get in the way of protecting these young women from this predator.

But can women rely upon a good man to be around in every instance?

@_connieshaw is correct to ask, "Where do we draw the line?" Image
Please share 🙏 @SexMattersOrg, @jk_rowling, @MForstater , @HJoyceGender, @ThePosieParker, @marycatedelvey

Whilst it is not illegal for men to be in women's spaces, a stable legal framework is needed to enable women to prosecute men who exploit self-ID to abuse and assault them.
A young woman describes her frightening experience of a man using gender self-ID to loiter in the women's toilets at a nightclub and this trans activist decides to attack her rather than the man who exploited trans self-ID to malign ends.

How telling...

This was me. I was 17 and suicidal every day. I hated my body. I had done everything to get away it, including wearing oversized clothes, binding my breasts, and eating as little as possible to prevent my body from developing. Image
I have always been a doer. Climbing up trees, fingers in the mud, sprinting along with the boys.

I knew I wasn't a boy. And that was okay. Because I could do everything a boy could.

But when the first rumours of puberty hit, at 10 years old, things began change... Image
Climbing trees was no longer "lady-like." I was no longer congratulated on my speed but my breast size.

Men began to make lewd comments that I didn't understand, but I knew they started when my body changed.

And that they wanted to do things to me that I didn't want.
