It would absolutely be a mistake to use either having had bottom surgery or possessing a GRC to decide which trans people are going to have full human rights and civil liberties.
I entreat those members of the community who think this a good idea to withdraw their advocacy.

'There is nothing clarifying about someone’s assigned sex at birth representing the permanent truth of their sexed and gendered life in a world where people can change, and are changing, their sex.'

If its clear you will only do something when its You that will suffer (cause the But Reform argument never is about how it will make immigrants suffer is it) then the result is that we, the people suffering right now, will just let you suffer, you’re only giving us incentive

There's a bill passing through parliament at the moment called the Data Bill
An added amendment would completely remove trans people's right to privacy, and could even revert legal documents
We have to apply a lot of pressure on this one too MPs. More info here:

For people wondering why the UK's Equality And Human Rights Commission is acting counter to human rights, I'll c+p a combination of threads from a couple of years ago.
They cover the systemic attack on many marginalised communities by idealogues trying to dismantle human rights law.

It does us no good to say that the human rights abuses trans people are facing are so much worse than the abuses that many groups are and have been subjected to in the UK.
It's not just a matter of being politically correct it's a matter of care for our community members who face other atrocities.

"trans women are women, trans men are men, non-binary people are valid"
You know what, this isn't fucking roll call.
Why don't you try "Trans people deserve dignity, autonomy, and freedom from discrimination"? "Trans people deserve access to healthcare without gatekeeping"? "Trans people matter"?

"There is a thesis to be written on why opinion on this has shifted so quickly" there really isn't. A highly motivated and radicalised group of people happened to have access to institutional power in the media and slowly ground down or repulsed anyone who opposed them.

However, there is this incredibly bizarre and frankly aggravating tendency for transmasc invisibilization and cis people's ignorance to be framed as ... our fault.
Like. I have seen transmascs talk about their erasure in terms that almost hold us responsible, or imply we contribute to this.

Patriarchy is not men. It is a system of oppressions that privileges male dominance.
Feminism is not women. It is not anything a woman does simply becasue she's a woman. Femninism is the destruction of patriarchy. Feminism is much more than just equality. I want to be free. Feminism is liberation

The role of a feminist during a time of fascism is to insist that the revolution against the fascist state is not a bespoke suit made in the measurements of white cisgender men.

Trans women ARE biologically women and no biased court can stop that basic fact from being true. Sex is a homeostatic property cluster containing an array of primary, secondary, and tertiary sexual characteristics. Trans people can and do change sex

Theres no one property that *is* "Biological Sex". Changing even one of the properties that make up the cluster is making concrete and real changes to your sex, and the act of transition makes profound changes to many of them. Trans men grow prostate tissue, women develop a hormonal cycle,
