To men who identify as women: Just because a woman doesn’t object to your presence in a female-only space, that doesn’t mean she’s comfortable with it, or that she doesn’t know you’re a man. I know a lot of you think you pass because no one says anything, but you don’t. Women are just too polite - or too afraid - to call you out and tell you to leave. And who can blame us? Women have been brutally assaulted on multiple occasions for trying to stand up to a male trespasser, and are regularly threatened with rape and death by trans people online. Moreover, there’s a solid chance that even if we do say something, we’ll get zero support from the management of whatever establishment we’re in, because they’re all afraid of getting mobs of angry protesters outside their business if they side with common decency. These spaces are ours. They exist for our safety, and to protect us from sexual exploitation by giving us privacy while we conduct intimate bodily functions. Your presence in them negates their usefulness, and strips us of the protections they once offered, putting women and girls at risk of assault and violation. Whether we say it or not, whether we comment or not, we all know that you’re a man, and we do not want you in women’s spaces, no matter what lip service some of us may feel forced to pay. If you were really women on the inside - or even saw women as human beings - then the last thing you’d do would be to bring your male body into female-only spaces, knowing - and you do know this - that you are making women uncomfortable and afraid. Your staggering lack of empathy and your refusal to listen to any voices that don’t tell you that you’re entitled to do exactly as you please have blinded you to the fact that you are unwelcome trespassers who destroy the sense of safety that women have in these spaces. Your utter disregard for the needs and feelings of the actual women to whom these spaces belong is beyond comprehension: the selfishness is astounding, the entitlement stunning. Women make up 51% of the population, but you think that your 1.6% should be thought of first and foremost, and given anything it demands, no matter how much harm it does to women and girls. Women deserve to be seen as human beings, not a costume, or a set of stereotypical behaviors and preferences.

@DannyWxo Gender identity ideology is the reason basic, hard won rights are being stripped from women and girls. This issue will only be definitively settled by society either accepting or repudiating the notion that men/boys become girls/women if they say they are.

I ❤️ England! You can get convicted of rape & still walk the streets. You can punch a police officer, the assault caught on camera & not be convicted. But if you misgender online expect a visit from the Police! What a time to be alive! 🥳

Yes, the people who call themselves 'trans' exist and they deserve exactly the same rights as everyone else, which, fortunately, they already have in the UK. It would rightly be considered discrimination if a person was refused employment, housing or the vote because they identified as trans. 'Trans women are women' is a thought-terminating cliché. Men are not women. That doesn't mean they're not allowed to present themselves however they like, call themselves whatever they like and believe whatever they like about themselves. It means they haven't changed sex. If we replace the objective, observable characteristic of sex with the unfalsifiable concept of gender identify, women and girls lose, among other things, their right to fair and safe sport and women-only spaces, including changing rooms, prison cells and rape crisis services. Women and girls are provably more vulnerable to forms of abuse including sexual assault, harassment and voyeurism in mixed-sex spaces. There is no evidence that trans-identified men don't have exactly the same rates of criminal offending as all other men. Trans people exist. I have no desire for them not to exist; indeed, I wish them safety, happiness and health. However, 'existence' does not, and should not, mean the violation of other people's right to privacy, dignity and freedom of speech, or the reconfiguration of society to indulge a fallacy.
