@LGBwiththeT Well Robin Moira White alleges he's 'somatically female' despite clearly being a man with what appears to be quite a manly shape
We know Sharron is female irrespective of how you think she looks because
1 when she was swimming she was subject to cheek swab tests
2 she's a mother
Dear Clive Lewis MP,
I have experienced several miscarriages, run two marathons to raise money for baby-loss charities and supported organisations such as Tommy's.
I am also quite sure that I am a woman - not a "birthing person".
Only women can become pregnant and give birth, regardless of how they identify. The term "birthing person" is therefore neither necessary nor genuinely inclusive. In practice, it erases the very people it is intended to describe.
Pregnancy, childbirth and miscarriage are profoundly significant experiences for many women. We deserve to be spoken about accurately and respectfully.
Please show pregnant women - and all women - that respect by using clear and accurate language.
Yours sincerely,
A woman who has experienced miscarriage
@stuartf100@stellacreasy Yes Stella let's be clear here please
Are you advocating for men in women's spaces
If you believe there are material differences between men and trans identifying males please explain to the rest of us how we identify the difference
Why are women less deserving of privacy than TW
If terfs are all funded by Right Wing Christians how come the GRA amendment allowing peers to not only inherit a male peerage post GRC but also the attached wealth was lobbied for by some of the richest right wing people in the country?
@BettyBassFace@cmwrawcliffe@FondOfBeetles That would be because the Govt line is THE LAW.
Im going to assume you identify as tesns so heres a thought try not centering yourself in everything. Try seeing how what you want affects others and why they might not want what you want.
@BettyBassFace@cmwrawcliffe@FondOfBeetles You mean you disagree. Why don't you say that point out what you believe is incorrect. Theres nothing bad faith about it, it reflects the law!
@BettyBassFace@cmwrawcliffe@FondOfBeetles Firstly the UK does not have self ID so anyone without a GRC is legally the sex they were born.
People with a GRC have the legal fiction of being their desired sex except where other legislation overrides that. The EA is legislation which can override that legal fiction.
@RiddleSphere@alannigelhunt@FondOfBeetles It is particularly because tax law guidance rarely changes but bits of the highway code do change. Yes I know the EA didn't change but the guidance did
When two groups of penguins meet, they often pause for what looks like a brief exchange before continuing on their way. If one joins the wrong group, a companion may follow to guide it back 🐧
