Parliament is Listening to Our BS

• 2020-09-01 05:36 @WomenUnitingUK “2. We were in the doldrums of August, and awaiting the well overdue announcement from Liz Truss, but don't imagine nothing was going on behind the scenes. The women of Women Uniting UK were still quietly, tenaciously, fighting to maintain the sex-based rights of women and girls,”
• 2020-09-01 05:36 @WomenUnitingUK “3. and continuing to raise awareness of the gender ideology that is damaging our children, particularly our daughters. / More and more MPs are listening, more and more teachers are pushing back on unsuitable political and ideological lobby groups having access to children in”
• 2020-09-01 05:36 @WomenUnitingUK “4. schools, more and more medics are speaking out about their concerns around the medicalisation of what are quite often normal childhood feelings, more and more women from all walks of life are speaking out, despite the threats to their jobs”
• 2020-09-01 05:36 @WomenUnitingUK “5. and the physical threats they receive for believing that women are a sex class, not a feeling in someone's head. / There are numerous cases due in court: brave people putting their reputations, livelihood, and safety on the line.”

To which I say:

• The existence of "gender identity" is not an ideology.
• It's not damaging anyone.
• "Unsuitable"? (I think this must be part of the "but the children!" ploy.)
• Lobby groups? We have lobby groups? I guess trans rights organizations count?
• "Concerns about medicalization"? Trans people have to fight to get care.
• "Normal childhood feelings"? Normal if you're trans, maybe... and either way, medical care is needed if it is being sought.
• "Speaking out despite the threats to their job" -- nobody is losing their jobs for having opinions. They're losing their jobs for being bigoted jerks.
• "the physical threats they receive for believing that women are a sex class" -- examples?

(Interesting how all the timestamps are the same; wonder what that means. Using TweetDeck?)
