My 19 yo daughter gets upset with me for obsessing about the issue, although she is on-side

Being female is already a disadvantage in many walks of life including business and politics. Hard-fought gains are being lost as people strive to accommodate men who want something more from us. I also worry about my daughter, and myself, and other women, who may lose the privacy and emotional safety of female-only spaces, female healthcare workers, and so on. I feel upset for individual women who have lost a place in a sports team or on a podium because a man took it.

I’ve done a wide range of things. I’ve written to and met with my MP. I’ve written to my county council about their schools trans inclusion advice, several times (trying again now). I’ve taken part in London, UK and Scottish consultations. I’ve donated to several crowd funding campaigns for legal action, and to campaign groups. I help a campaign group with speeches and written submissions. I attended several talks in London organised by LAWS and WPUK. I sat in the visitors’ gallery at the High Court for the first time ever, to hear the Fair Cop case.  I have raised the issue with a group of women at my sports club, and followed up by sharing links. I’ve raised it with my sport’s National Governing Body.

 I changed from my real name on Twitter after some TRAs started piling on and were clearly looking me up elsewhere and making connections, and making references to my work.

The next argument would be let them decide when they can have sex

This matters because I have very young children. Trans rights activists want to indoctrinate my perfectly healthy children into thinking they can change/choose their gender. Dysphoria is a mental illness. People aren’t born in the wrong body. Particularly, if they do not present DSD. Stonewall are coming after the kids. I’ll give you crazy. this whole thing – erasing single sex spaces, teaching kids session 4 of proud trust BS is a front to reach the kids and lower the age of consent.

It’s a systematic procedure to allow child sexual abuse. GI just promoted children to look intensely at their body. In ways, it densensitises the way they feel. Distant and overly sexual. If an under 8 is taught to enjoy their bodies as per WHO suggestion then the next argument would be let them decide when they can have sex.

I speak about it to as many people willing to listen. I’ve signed petitions. I’m raising posts to put on Asian forums as Asians tend to comply a lot and have faith in schools. They need to know about these ideologies.

Negative consequences? Yes, that I’m a bigot. Transphobic. Why does it bother me that a “few” are in a predicament. Does it really harm me? How many “ trannys” have I actually come across. Arguments within the family (English side).

My daughter is transgender

My daughter is transgender.

I founded Our Duty, joined in with Fair Cop and others.

Too many negative consequences to list. The biggest, I guess, is not being able to work in my usual field.

I am opposed to bullying, aggression, gaslighting, hatred and purposeful disruption to democratic processes

Truth matters and the material truth is that males and females differ. Women live in a male-dominated society and are oppressed as such. I care about women in general and my daughter’s future, in particular. I am concerned about the impact of certain ideologies including Queer theory on civil society and the maintenance and progress of equal respect for women in society.

I am opposed to bullying, aggression, gaslighting, hatred and purposeful disruption to democratic processes, all of which I have experienced from people advocating against women’s rights under the guise of other causes. A tolerant society has rules and boundaries for the protection of all, it also necessarily has norms and doesn’t deny female people their fundamental human rights to avoid offending a minority.

I have spoken out in the Labour Party locally and nationally and have written to my daughter’s school. I have commented on surveys and consultations and anonymously on social media. I also discuss my concerns with people face to face when I get the opportunity to do so.

I have been smeared, voted out of positions and bullied within the Labour Party and other activism. This has sapped my energy and curtailed my actions. I was dismissed and treated like a “difficult parent” by the school. I have felt fearful and threatened in meetings and other situations. I feel silenced and stigmatised for my belief in the material reality of sexed bodies and that female people are human beings with equal rights.

I would raise my voice a lot more if I didn’t fear for my business

I care because appropriating the word “women” to include men pretending to be women, erases women. It diminishes our rights and has been shown to place us in a subordinated position where we are actively silenced and openly bullied.

I have used Twitter to voice my objections regularly but anonymously. I am involved in Fair Cop campaign to address stonewall’s and mermaids’ institutional capture. I would raise my voice a lot more if I didn’t fear for my business.

I have been shunned by friends, received abuse and threats online. I fear for my business and have to remain away from any publicity.

Children are being harmed and women’s rights dismantled

I care because children are being harmed and women’s rights dismantled.

I try and speak about it to people I meet but only after carefully testing the water. I attend women’s groups and events.

I have been blocked by a whole group of friends.

My daughter went to school stating that she now wanted to be known as a boy and they did not tell me

It has concerned me for several years and then directly affected my family 18 months ago when my daughter went to school stating that she now wanted to be known as a boy and they did not tell me.

The School’s policy was horrifying, promoting parental alienation, misrepresenting Equality minimising the risks of blockers and binders and conflating sex and gender. Also, as it promoted an ‘affirmation only’ approach in regard to the transgender identifying child  it is  no more in their best interests than to the rest of the school cohort.

I ultimately want to reach a point where all these toolkits are withdrawn and replaced with guidance which has been validated by experts in equality law and child safeguarding, and an inquiry to take place into how this situation was allowed to occur.

I have written to the school, local authority and a Politicians and also attended conferences and events to try and find out as much information on this subject as I can. I have also signed petitions, contributed to several crowd funders and stood outside the Royal Courts of Justice in support of a Judicial Review going on there.

I feel I am a bit of a social pariah at School events and some of the people in my social circle do avoid me.

I help run the Women’s Human Rights Campaign website

This is important to me because gender ideology is a huge threat to the rights of women and girls. I fear that gender ideology is causing us to move away from truth and reality towards compelled language, pseudoscience and harmful nonsense being encoded into law with huge consequences for society.

I have written to my MP four times. The first two times to Mark Prisk with favourable results and the second two to his replacement, Julie Marson, with poor result. I have attended half a dozen women’s meetings in London and Cambridge. I have volunteered with the Women’s Human Rights Campaign where I organised a conference for the launch of “Inventing Transgender Children and Young People”. I help run the Women’s Human Rights Campaign website and have conducted some lobbying activities across Europe. I speak regularly to most people I know, including at work, share info when I can on social media. I have also written to newspapers.

I have been more circumspect with what I post on social media recently because I am short of (freelance) work.

Men are male and women are female, and those are real conditions in the world

This matters to me because men are male and women are female, and those are real conditions in the world. That has consequences that matter especially for women individually and collectively.

I’ve posted on Facebook and Twitter, I’ve campaigned with Speak Up For Women NZ

I brought Meghan Murphy to New Zealand to speak at events and on television.

I’ve fundraised for SUFW. I’ve organised ground campaigns including delivery of leaflets throughout New Zealand

I’ve had my employer tagged by a transactivist claiming SUFW supports pedophilia and was investigated twice by my employer.

I was made to unfriend and block all work colleagues.

I highly object to the assumption that you can call yourself a woman if you have been raised divorced from the structural sex based discrimination women face

As a woman I highly object to the assumption that you can call yourself a woman if you have been raised divorced from the structural sex based discrimination women face.

I have been almost entirely silent out of pure fear

I did raise it with a friend who stopped talking to me.
