He’s also a father now, and may have some reservations about sterilising young kids.
Oh sure, that's the CURRENT legal definition but just wait until they change that too.
| The media is a main character in the story of trans A few years ago I was pitching stories to news outlets as a freelance writer. I was on the lookout for new angles that hadn’t been covered, mostly focused around social issues. I had begun to notice the transgender trend and realised that nobody had yet written about the potential consequences of replacing sex with this thing called “gender identity” in law and practice - not a neutral, pro- or against story. Nothing. I noticed too that no woman’s or parents’ magazine or weekend supplement had published anything about what it’s like for a mother to have a kid who suddenly decides they were the wrong sex. I thought - what’s up with that? Transvestites were emerging all over the place and they were clearly dodgy — I sensed something overtly sexual and exhibitionistic about their behaviour. I couldn’t believe nobody was writing about the fact that giving them carte blanche to go public with what everyone once knew was a fetish was clearly not good for anybody (themselves included). Should we explore the trade-offs for society of letting men explore their kinky side out in the open? Most importantly, kids could clearly be harmed by getting caught up in the craze. Let’s explore that! I expected editors would want these stories… that they would be clamouring for deep-dive, longform explorations and interviews with the women and parents affected. I expected to see broadcasters rolling out panels of women, like the panels of men in womanface now being rolled out by BBC, to talk about how this might affect us, the practical implications and the conflict of rights and how they might be resolved. | But I realised immediately that by the time this subject came across my radar, it had already been rendered taboo. When the story of trans is told, the role of editors and news programmers must not be neglected. Their cowardice and opportunism is a huge part of this story. Look how they treat the fetishistic crossdressers “affected” by the establishment of the law in the UK. The media are main characters in the story of trans. Ironically, they helped usher in their own demise — for extremely short-term gain. The rise of newsletters and over-reliance on social media for news (for better and for worse) can largely be attributed to their intentional cover-up. Because that’s what it was and continues to be: a coverup. And not only that, but they intentionally monstered anyone who spoke up against it, running interference for activists and ruining lives in the process. Their role in this is just as big as the medical butchers and the philanthropists and the deranged activists. Here they interview a bunch of arrogant crossdressing men in a classic news studio setup, but don’t be fooled: the BBC is just as much a subject of this story as their interviewees. They deserve their destroyed reputation. @BBC @rtenews @IrishTimes @nytimes @guardian |

I believe women should always be considered equal, have a choice in whether she wants to work or raise children (and be supported in raising children) and women should have sex based rights, given that our bodies are more complex.
Of course they did, think of all the domestic jobs created by encouraging both Parents to work.
I agree with you. Think about how much the government loves making two working parents the norm, and all the tax money generated.
I hear you loud and clear @petitspois i want to get off the treadmill but I can’t see it
I’d rather go to work than run around after my elderly mother. I’m no more cut out for caring duties (always unpaid) than any man.
It's definitely better for children to be with one of their parents. Doesn't necessarily have to be the female partner. When my daughter was at school there were a few stay at home dads whose partners had the better paid job, as I remember one of the mothers in question was a GP and her husband did part time work around looking after the kids so role reversal can work.
It’s like everything else it’s hard work getting men to do anything not all but most if not for their benefit then it doesn’t get done I know a couple of stay at home dads and one is brilliant the others not so much the partners still doing the bulk of the work. It’s a man world and they won’t or can’t change.
and she also goes and cleans her elderly father's house. In the novels/period dramas the 20something kids if still at home would do the care duties, cleaning etc to help out (unless upper class then of course that's a different story).I'm with you and the other ladies!
