At last night's #Bristol Full Council meeting I spoke in opposition to a motion entitled "Trans Rights are Human Rights". Although there was a lot in there that I agreed with, I could not support the blanket statement that "Trans man are men, trans women are women" I argued that trans and non-binary people are entitled (like everyone else) to our love, compassion and support, but that biological sex and gender identity are two distinct things, and that both matter in different circumstances.
