This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever read.
We'd still be male or female whether the law recognised us as such or not ...

Agreed! Two babies have come out of my body... I wonder what sex I am? HahaThis is the stupidest thing I’ve ever read.
Oops, sorry, I thought I had read somewhere that she was.I get that @Eurgh but the reality is there’s little hope of more left wing press reporting the stories at the moment.
I’m glad that at least some mainstream press is giving Gender Critical perspectives a voice and hope in the future The Guardian et al feel brave enough to (though at the moment that feels like a pipe dream!)
Personally, while I’m angry at the right in politics and media I am also angry at the left. Starmer’s pride video was very disappointing (and the Labour Party as a whole has treated GC feminists appallingly in recent years) and the Guardian’s refusal to report anything to do with Tavistock is pretty tit.
I agree, though wanted to note Jess isn’t a les (it mentions in one of the Times articles she is straight).
Lol I wonder if this will be their next step to ~trans equality~ -- proposing everyone goes through this and the fact only trans people do is ~transphobia~

I agree with you, I definitely think there needs to be a middle ground on this as at the moment it seems to be all or nothing. I believe you should be able to be who you want, if you wish to transition that is up to tou. But I don’t think it’s fair that if someone questions very real issues around transitioning that they are automatically a TERF or transphobe. It’s not just about women’s spaces that I have queries with, it’s also to do with the long term effects physically and emotionally of people who have had all their breast tissue, nipples or their genitalia cut off. What about the drugs they are using, especially in the young? It’s such a massive toll on the body that is quite worrying that some people think it’s as simple as getting your tonsils removed or something.I do strongly believe in trans rights, I have trans family members and acquaintances. They just want to get on with their lives. I also believe in women's rights and agree with Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie that transwomen are transwomen and I don't understand why that's a problem.
They seem to have removed Eric Gill from their shop - can’t find any of his work listed there?I’m seeing more and more people coming out in support of Jess de Wahls.
Of course the first reply is a man saying “I’d imagine they are though?”
What a thoroughly knobbish response.
Anyway, Jess seems to be inundated with support, which is so great to see.
Yes!!I definitely think there needs to be a middle ground on this as at the moment it seems to be all or nothing.

Charles ClymerThere can’t be that many trans veterans surely?
I hope he’s roundly booed. Disgusting cheat.New Zealand did it the absolute tossers. I hope they win and it's shown for the farce it is. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-57549653
