Equally, imagine choosing economic and social ruin because you have been denied an education that would teach you the beauty of diversity.

The question should never be, how do we exclude people from any area of life, it should always be about how do we make things more inclusive:

Just a transphobe advocating violence against trans women. Sadly I would retort by saying β€˜I’d kick him in the balls’ sadly he hasn’t got any and I’m trans what’s his excuse?

Women who are sexually assaulted are not asked for a birth certificate, women who are raped don’t have a chromosome test, women who are discriminated against don’t have a genital examination. Trans women as all women face these realities, that’s why we need the same protections.

Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?

Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

I know a lot of talk on BlueSky is political and certainly in the UK it’s very much about EU relations. But trans rights are bang in the centre of everything, the far right sought to divide people into 2 camps trans rights was the tool. Trans rights can break this, support trans people.

The same people who sold you Brexit had you believing Trans women are sporting cheats, the same people who made voters believe they would Make America Great Again, had you believe trans women are sporting cheats. Joined the dots yet, if you believe this, you are not critically thinking!!!

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

Ask yourself, are you safer, are you richer and has any of this made your life better. Alternatively, are you happy to cut off your nose to spite your face?

They stopped sex testing female Olympians in 2000 because scientists realised Chromosomes were not an accurate way to determine anyone’s Sex.

According to transphobes, trans people, especially trans atheletes didn’t exist in 2000, so why did the IOC stop sex testing?

Hate can’t be caged, those who hate trans people will hate others and once you legitimise one form of hate you have allowed it to become a tsunami that sweeps us all up.
