During a management conference I was publicly chastised by a Stonewall rep. for daring to suggest there might be a good reason that women are upset when a male colleague started to use their toilets. The rep. was nasty and vindictive & was obviously trained that way. Glad they admit this now.

“No debate” is what trans people got. Anti-trans people constantly given platforms to speak unchallenged and trans people denied a voice.

Alternative facts.

If you want to deny a decade or so of media coverage favouring anti-trans voices and how the recent Supreme Court judgment that listened to zero (0) trans people in a matter that directly concerns them, sure, you can have your alternative facts.

"Trans-identifying"??? So what, everyone's just expected to accept someone that probably doesn't have gender dysphoria...? That's insulting to all those that do.

"no debate" is the only option when you can't defend your position.

He's not the most of impartial voices on this, but he's inaccurate too. No debate stemmed from 2018.

Second letter:
'I am the parent of a trans-identified young person who has nuanced views of the debate on sex and gender ... '.
'The reason the supreme court ruling feels like such a threat to the trans community is because for the last decade activists have misled them about the existing law ...'

' ... staked everything on the complete erasure of sex as a meaningful category in society, and framed any dissent as bigotry, transphobia or worse.'

'It has been catastrophic for a generation of trans-identified youth to have been misled into thinking that their wellbeing is dependent on everyone in society colluding in a pretence that biological sex can simply be overridden by gender identity'.

'The consequences are all too apparent in the distressed response to what is a compassionate legal ruling that balances the rights of trans people (under the protected characteristic of gender reassignment) while identifying the specific contexts where sex will be relevant too'.
