Identity Politics

I have given up on the consultation into the "reform" of the Gender Recognition Act. 15 minutes in, and I was still only on Page Two. That cannot only have been due to heavy traffic. Or if it was, then it was because they knew what that traffic would be saying. 

Of course, for what it is worth, I fully agree with everything that they will have been told about the safety of women and girls. But they will have been told all of that. They do not need to read it again from me, of all people.

All that I wanted to do was to tell them to keep vaginas out of teenage boys' changing rooms and showers, and to spare fathers and their young sons the embarrassment of seeing such things. I am about to email them to that effect, even if that does not count towards the consultation.

If you want the next hung Parliament to contain at least one MP who said these things out loud, and who would seek to repeal gender self-identification if it had already been enacted, then my crowdfunding page is here, or email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com for other options. That address accepts PayPal.

  1. If you want the next hung Parliament to contain at least one MP who said these things out loud

    Plenty of Tory MPs are saying it loud and clear.
    Of course the problem, as usual, is we don’t have an actual Opposition.

    The Times notes: “The poll of MPs — one of a regular survey of MPs on topical issues by ComRes — found that only 9% of Tories back self-declaration without a doctor, with 69% opposed.”

    1. They'll all vote for it. Like they'll all vote for Chequers. If you want opposition to either, then you need to read the Morning Star.
