Yep. I basically fell to pieces in my late teens and spent my twenties trying to put myself back together, not even really realising transition was a possibility until my mid twenties. If I’d known there was hope, hand it dangled in front of me then torn away, I don’t think I would’ve coped.

“Grapple more honestly with scientific uncertainty” are they fucking joking right now? We’re not the ones asserting as unquestionable fact that demonstrable falsehoods are “just science” ffs. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Speaking as a human, and having seen this government’s stance on our rights, this is fucking terrifying. We wanted the Tories out because they were working their way up to this sort of filth, not because we wanted someone with a different coloured tie to do it.

Such sweetness 🥰

I mean, speaking as a Brit I do find it a li’l weird, but I think I’d probably like the person who put it up. She just doesn’t like human decency.

data presented scarily rather than any there being any genuine reasoning going on.

Aaanyway that’s enough multi-skeet comments from me… it’s the weekend now so I’m gonna have a nice relaxed evening and unclench my jaw. 😅

reason than there should be trans *women* specifically for sex offences if their offending rates even match up with cis women? So idk, I probably should go look if he has sources that make a better argument but it always seems like this whole thing is based on knee-jerk reactions to misleading

Also, I’ll admit to not having read Coyne’s article so I don’t know what sources he cited, but the last one I saw, when you actually looked beyond the scary graphics showing how many trans prisoners are in for sexual offences, seemed to indicate that there are fewer trans *people* in prisons for any

trans people? Good grief! 😫

actually having decent safeguards in place kind of undermines this argument for why it’s so terribly important to have a definition of woman, but surely if it’s a good enough reason to be arguing about it we should actually be thinking about the issue and not just coming up with ways to single out

Speaking of correcting things… sorry, but why was it just presumed that only men & trans women need background checks? If I’m assaulted by a cis woman with a history of sexual abuse in a DV shelter am I supposed to be appeased by the fact that she wasn’t born with a penis? I mean I know the idea of

Is it just me or is there absolutely no focus there on the “specious reasoning and flawed research” in that response? Idk, maybe it’s just outside of the screenshot but surely that’s a relevant element that should be addressed?
