Thread on the absurdity of self-identification.
So, @jonlansman (@PeoplesMomentum head), some members of @UKLabour's ruling #NEC and @jeremycorbyn think we should endorse self-identification, let's see where that leads us... 1/7

Well there is obviously Rachel Dolezal, a white woman who self-identifies as black. Are the @UKLabour Party and @PeoplesMomentum cool with ‘transrace’ and self-identification of race as well? 2/7

How about Martine Big, who self-identifies as a black woman, and knows she is black as she ‘likes African food’ and has tanning injections? Is ‘transrace’ and self-identification of race OK with the @UKLabour Party and @PeoplesMomentum? 3/7

Or take Ja Du, a white male who now self-identifies as a 'Filipino woman’. Is ‘transnationality’ and self-identity of your nationality OK with @UKLabour Party and @PeoplesMomentum? 4/7

Now what about ‘transage’? Meet Stefonknee Wolscht, a 52-yr old male who self-identifies as a 6-yr old girl. Do we legislate for the identities of grown men, who want to pretend they’re little girls? Voters need to know @UKLabour Party and @PeoplesMomentum 5/7

Or what about self-identifying as disabled? Meet Chloe Jennings-White, a male who self-identifies as a paraplegic woman, despite being an able bodied male. Is @UKLabour Party and @PeoplesMomentum OK with able-bodied people self-identifying as ‘disabled’? 6/7

Self-identification means departing from reality, and legalising delusion and fantasy. 7/7

Here is an excellent response to @jonlansman's support for self-identification (of your 'sex', whether you are black, disabled etc) from @ruthserwotka:
