Legal bod (and my bod is female).

This is a story from personal experience about the need for single-sex exemptions under law for certain spaces, and why Self-ID trans ideology can be problematic. It’s about ‘Colin’, a 16 year old boy, my 15yo daughter J, and the girls’ changing room at their school. THREAD. 1/18

@Jebadoo2 @MForstater Which is precisely why hormone therapy is so crucial for trans-identifying people, to attempt to mimic the other sex’s biological attributes.

@MForstater Great team!

We are in court today on the CPS sex by deception guidance.

Sarah Vine KC is on her feet.

Judges Dame Victoria Sharp, President of the King's Bench Division, and Mrs. Justice Heather Williams are asking questions.

@NAllison89 This this this. And I’m not even thinking (only) of the recent media example. It applies amongst parents of those with varying disabilities too.

@grace_hawthorn Plus from a professional standpoint, he’s ones of the film’s executive producers. Even if it wasn’t about him, as an exec producer he would of course normally be invited.

@claire88424030 Thank you. Back atcha. x

@DNTHURTYOURS3LF @autisticwitter @BradfemlyWalsh Are you aware from them directly that they haven’t yet? This has been going on for days, things change.

I have a child - 21 today! - with Tourette’s. Fortunately their symptoms are usually v mild & infrequent.

There was a time though yrs ago when meds unexpectedly made their symptoms v bad. One tic was swearing, incl to teachers.

I’ve found this past week upsetting. Love to JD.

[Realista @XXRealista]

@SeeRedWoman1 @Variety I hope, Variety, that you made a donation to a Tourette’s charity for this interview? No mention of that in the piece though.

[Realista @XXRealista]

@Raycizmm @BradfemlyWalsh Yes and not to diminish that, it’s also important to bear in mind that John Davidson was nearly killed (beaten v badly) because of his disability, and many disabled people have historically been directly or indirectly killed for being disabled.

@tafkamichael @Scot_Feminists @USSR2Europe @nhsfife Tbf (not that he deserves it) I sincerely doubt it was that specifically. Him staying there was untenable for him & NHS Fife. I strongly suspect he was encouraged to leave & received a settlement payout. Nowhere else in NHS would want him due to reputational risk.

@iseult @DuncanHenry78 @D24Journalist And as this young man has learnt (but probably hasn’t accepted …) you can control the speech of someone else to a certain extent, but you can’t control their thoughts or understanding of what a man and a woman are.

[Realista @XXRealista]

@iseult @DuncanHenry78 @D24Journalist The difference though (& I know you get this) is that the trans-IDing person wants others to share their delusion/rhetoric. A non-trans person mistaken for other sex is secure in the reality of their sex. Physical facts are tangible proof. An idea or feeling in one’s head is not.

[Realista @XXRealista]

@sauron3eye @ThePosieParker It would be great if a *women’s* rights campaigner - any of them - could post about a female issue without someone popping up to scold them for not talking about boys/men. Also, apart from the fact that KJK has (and I’m anti circumcision myself), FGM is physically much worse.

@ThePureDrop @Cockyolliebird @diversity999x @amscanlon Was about to ask this

[Realista @XXRealista]

@Lara_Fergie99 @ClaireCNWL Ah sorry. I did wonder as I could see you’re an adult. Your experience sounds awful, I’m so sorry.

[Realista @XXRealista]

@Lara_Fergie99 @ClaireCNWL PICU as in Paediatric Intensive Care Unit?

[Realista @XXRealista]

@grace_hawthorn @BradfemlyWalsh Innit tho.

[Realista @XXRealista]

@grace_hawthorn @stfnigg How can you ask that Grace 😲 So what if is body wasn’t impacted on by the birth process in any way. So what if, unlike his baby, he was not suddenly thrust into the external world after being cocooned internally for months. ‘Him’ matters too. Dismiss ‘him’ at your peril.
