I’m a small fish here, but those with big platforms need to speak up. A “far-right expert” with 11.8k followers likens the UK to Weimar Germany and calls anyone who defines womanhood on the basis of biological sex a "transphobe". This isn’t analysis—it’s unhinged.

It makes perfect sense.
Transwomen - aka men - are not women.
The PM has simple acknowledged what humanity has known for tens of thousands of years.

Starmer once said it was "not right" to say only women have a cervix. Now he welcomes a ruling that says trans women aren’t women. Make it make sense.

The word ‘cis’ when describing humans has no place in journalism.
It is a political descriptor that seeks to replace fact with pseudoscience.
We don’t describe humanity using the language of creationism - the same should apply to gender identity as they are both anti-evolutionist ideologies.
