He really hasn’t a clue.
He thinks women include men who call themselves “women”
He thinks gays include straights who call themselves “queer”
This is what you call performative allyship - the clueless kind.
@boreddeleuzian@jk_rowling@jan_murray You're referring to a transvestite as "her", so any point you're trying to make (and I'm being charitable here) is instantly lost. Like JK says, if a woman in a similar position did this, it would be headline news, but it's apparently okay for men with cross-dressing paraphilias.
If an actual woman had behaved like this while in a position of authority over underage girls it would have been front page news on every paper. Men like this revel in the fact that people of influence are more frightened of looking illiiberal than of endangering schoolgirls.
@jk_rowling@ForWomenScot In the latest edition of The Frontline an independent prison monitor writes about her experience of the impact of men in women’s prisons. The fact that Swinney went to court to fight for men’s demands instead of protecting women’s rights says everything 🤦🏼♀️

@itsafrogslife@poz_woods@neilDCFC@HallisseyC They are men with a debilitating psychological disorder. There's no stigma surrounding that, and they deserve therapy and dignity to help them come to terms work it, but they're not any kind of woman.
@itsmyname591@HazelAppleyard@RoyalFamily@NormaLPearson1 If men can self-ID as lesbians, then homosexuality does not exist. One can either recognise the protected characteristic of same-sex attraction, or believe in the existence of 'gender identity', but not both.
This isn't a political standpoint, it's biology vs ideology.
@roisinmurphy@DreyfusJames@TheAkoFiles He has all the appeal of a miniature cactus that's been left, forgotten in the kitchen window of a student apartment over the summer break. Dried up and prickly.
You mean men, men who claim to be women. You are a national broadcaster that consistently obfuscates facts around sex because you’ve taken an ideological position the public overwhelmingly rejects. This isn’t news, it’s propaganda.

Neale is right. This draft bill is an attack on homosexuality and we will not stand idly by and watch another generation harmed by gender ideology.
@itsmyname591@HazelAppleyard@RoyalFamily@NormaLPearson1 You're going to find that as long as "gay bro" traitors such as yourself are simping for a belief system which seeks to eradicate homosexuality by claiming that men can be lesbians and women can be gay men, people like Hazel are going to stick around, to call out your bigotry.
Man who claims to be a woman/female says that women who maintain that sex is binary and immutable are "an insult to women." Think about that for a second.
LGB Alliance response to draft Conversion Practices Bill.
The old conversion therapy told gay people to change their sexuality. The new version tells them to change their bodies.
As the UK's only charity dedicated exclusively to the rights and interests of lesbian, gay and bisexual people, it falls to us to ask - what will this Bill mean for young people who are simply gay or bisexual?
We've read the legislation carefully. Our conclusion is that it risks making it harder for those young people to receive the time, conversations and exploratory support that have helped generations of same-sex attracted people understand and accept themselves. And, despite what the Government claims, it risks criminalising the very people society relies on to protect vulnerable young people - parents whose primary concern is keeping their children safe, whole and healthy, and therapists whose role is to help them explore difficult questions with care and compassion.
Parents, therapists, teachers, clinicians and support groups should be able to help young people explore difficult questions without fear of fines or imprisonment.
The abusive practices that concern us all are already prohibited by criminal law, safeguarding law, civil law and professional regulation. Where those protections have failed, the answer is to enforce them properly and to equip the parents, clinicians, therapists, teachers and safeguarding professionals - who are often the first to recognise when a young person needs help - to do their best. We do not need a new law that makes those same people afraid to do their job.
We support strong action against genuinely abusive practices. We do not support legislation that risks replacing one form of pressure on gay people with another.
We believe it's okay to be gay. We believe it's okay to talk. And we do not believe Parliament should pass a law that makes either of those things harder.

Isn’t it mad how religion can overrule animal rights laws, security laws on covering your face, noise nuisance laws, and even laws on carrying a dangerous weapon.
No religion should afford you extra rights, none.
LAWS SHOULD BE FOR ALL, NOT WHAT GOD YOU BELIEVE IN.
