Please note, I am not transphobic! I have immense compassion for all sufferers of any type of dysphoria, and have been supportive in several situations whereby a person underwent transition from one sex to the other. My particular truck is with Men, ie complete men who have no intention of medical transitioning stating that we must accept them as women and, that, in fact , that they “are women”.
I personally do not accept this, nor do I accept being referred to as CIS or TERF or any other term which I find offensive. We live in a supposed democracy and I assert my right to my beliefs without fear or rancour. I am happy for these men to continue to believe that they are natural women, to dress and behave as they wish without causing concern for others, but I protest that I will be forced , against my will and beliefs, into accepting that the ability to simply state something equates to the actuality of being it.
Then, having to commit to the acceptance that this becomes a legally enforceable term , otherwise we are committing a “Hate” crime . This goes against the fundamental rights of Free Speech.
I am an Atheist but I do not campaign for Any religion to bow down to my philosophy nor to each other’s.
I find it intolerable that women’s “emancipation” which had its infancy with the suffragettes, carried on into girlhood with the Land Army girls, got sexy in the 1960’s ,as we discovered the “pill”, became more political with feminism is now dying under the high heeled stiletto of men in drag , before it ever reaches its emancipated adulthood. We are being “retired” from existence while Misogyny again rules the roost, this time dressed in our clothes.
