Written by the father of a trans girl…
“When society tries to police and exclude trans girls, it ends up policing all girls.
Because transmisogyny does not just say, “Trans girls aren’t real girls.” It also says, “There is only one correct way to be a girl.””

Why the War on Trans Girls Is a War on Girlhood
Excluding trans girls is controlling who can be girls, and who can't, further dividing children and causing harm

This is unfortunately true which makes me incredibly sad and incredibly angry, what is wrong with this country?
Unless your crime is against a trans person when the consequences are beatification on the front pages of the national media and The BBC joining by using abusive slurs against the trans person.
Oh and there is the good chance you could arrange for the trans person to be sexually abused by the BTP.

Going through a box of old family photos and I found this. It leads me to two conclusions.
1. I possibly had a trans relative from over 100yrs ago. All strength to her.
2. The bigots would abuse this lady if they saw her in the toilets because they are anti-feminist and in fact can’t always tell!

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system!
Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.
