Yes, that’s correct.
Being gender critical is by default a position which is exclusionary.
The subtle clue was that they have nazis turning up to their events
A group that actively want’s do diminish a minority group’s rights is anti-rights? Say it ain’t so!
It doesn’t matter your opinion on the subject, because that statement is objectively true
A number of prominent TERFs marched with Tommy Robinson a few weeks ago.
Posie Parker often has card carrying Nazis attending her rallies. (A few have been speakers, too)
Half of the well funded gender critical groups are based out of Tufton Street, home to many right wing think tanks with big backing from the US.
LGB Alliance is made up almost entirely of straight cis people. (A fact they had to admit in court) Yet both the Tories and Labour have used them to score points with transphobic voters.
Kemi Badenoch, the Tory’s Equalities Minister, was caught on tape admitting she’s homophobic as well as transphobic.
Rosie Duffield and Joanna Cherry laughed during a government hearing on the lives of trans people in the UK when suicide was mentioned.
Not to mention the constant campaign of hate and legal threats carried out against trans people and trans positive journalists on X by She Who Shall Not Be Named.
All of them are grifters cashing in on a movement trying to remove the rights already granted to trans people in the UK by the GRA and Equalities Act. Some for monetary gain, others purely out of hate. The Cass review was stacked with these people, the outcome was always intended to limit the treatment options available to trans people in the UK, beginning with an almost immeasurably small amount of teens. It was a hit piece.
Streeting already has plans to implement the Cass review in full if Labour comes to power, which involves stripping HRT from anyone 25 and under, while booting every trans person off the NHS for anything related to transgender healthcare and onto a new private service.
The UK is institutionally transphobic, an opinion not shared by the majority of the public. Our government, be it Tory or Labour, has been called out again and again for failing to provide for and protect trans people in the UK.
When will it end? How long are we going to be the current political football for? Trans people are dying through lack of care and support daily.
Yes, restricting the rights on specific genders is anti rights.
That’s obviously true.
You can make the argument for why you want to deny rights to trans people, but you can’t then whinge when someone points out that your movement is all about denying rights to a marginalised group.
