I care because over the course of my life, I’ve experienced a lot of harassment from strange men, who followed, intimidated, groped, flashed and grabbed me, most of it in public. I’m therefore under no illusion that there are men who behave this way and therefore women need single-sex spaces to minimise risk of it (or worse) happening to them.
Men have physical advantage over women, and that is why sports have been segregated by sex and must remain that way.
I’m also aghast at the science-denialism that is at the core of this movement and that children are taught it at school.
I have an autistic child so know how dangerous it is to teach autistic children that they could be “born in the wrong body”. We know that brains don’t mature until we are 25 yet we allow children to make such a huge decision – it is conversion therapy.
No one who is considered an authority on child psychology has written or researched gender identity yet now it is pushed on children by adults with the view of legitimising their own agenda.
While I believe dysphoria is real, for some men it is clearly a paraphilia.
What have you done? Mainly donated and discussed it anonymously online, and with a couple of trusted friends. I’m on some kind of Terfblocker, but because I’m careful under my own name, I have so far avoided anything worse
