The trans movement is a men’s rights movement

I care about this issue because I am a feminist and have spent much of my working life supporting girls and women in empowerment.

I was a social worker latterly and also fostered girls so am fully aware of the damage that had been done to them, emotionally, physically and sexually. 

I feel that the trans movement is a men’s rights movement. More importantly I believe that it is covering up for paedophilia. It is dangerous.

I have raised awareness of the harm the trans movement does to girls and women. This is to my family, friends, groups I belong to and to my MP. I have written to the safeguarding leads in every school in my local town and the surrounding villages raising safeguarding concerns. I have attended events regarding women’s sex based rights. I have completed consultations on self ID and have written to English and Scottish MP’s to either raise awareness or to thank them for their intervention. I have leafletted a local school to inform them of the threat to children. I regularly share relevant stories or information on Facebook. 

Lastly I have donated to crowdfunding ( including your own) and have signed countless petitions. I am lucky as I no longer work so have not had to deal with any issues in a workplace. However I have found that some people have either not believed what I am telling them or have stated that  they do not want to know. Family sometimes ask me not to talk about it at social events.

I have spoken to most people I know in real life and online

Could cite about twenty reasons why I care. Maybe the biggest is the irrationalism & witch hunting tendencies it shows up among people who I would hope would be trying to prevent oncoming planetary disasters – ecological most of all.

I have spoken to most people I know in real life and online. The negative consequences have not been great for me – just online acquaintances lost

I promised myself that I would never again collude in someone else’s bulls**t.

I care because I have a daughter- having grown up in a very women-unfriendly family and country, I view transgenderism as another robe that misogyny wears.

I watched “Panti’s noble call” and really felt sympathy for people who felt that they were “born in the wrong body”…and later reflected that at no point in his speech did he reference that the abuse he experienced is something that young women deal with ALL THE TIME.

You titled your questionnaire “speaking up for reality” and having been gaslighted almost to oblivion when married, I promised myself that I would never again collude in someone else’s bulls**t. I am very kind,  considerate and empathetic- but I will not reduce my own boundaries to accommodate someone else’s needs. They have to take responsibility for themselves.

I speak to my children constantly (teens) and advise them to keep their heads down about the issue at school.

I refused to work with a school (professionally) that wanted to modify a bathroom to accommodate a (trans) child, under the guise of adapting the bathroom to meet the needs of another (different) disabled child.

I tentatively raise my voice with friends- but most are still at the point of “what’s the harm in being kind?” or “what difference does it make?” without thinking it through to it’s logical outcome, when manipulated by someone who refuses to recognise usual social boundaries, or who refuses to reciprocate respect.

Not really, but then I havent yet been brave- I really worry for my livelihood (I work with ASD children and teens).

Because of my profession, I cannot share my name

I participate actively, every day, and have done for the past several years, anonymously on social media accounts.

Because of my profession, I cannot share my name. I donate regularly to local and international women’s organizations. And I sow seeds in my professional environment.

I have received threats of rape, death, beheading, disembowelment, etc. I have lost friendships and social supports.

Objective reality is important

This matters because objective reality is important. Women’s rights are being undermined by postmodern misogyny. Woke ideology is sweeping the youth of the middle classes and has captured a lot of government bodies.

I’ve written blog posts (Redline Marxist blog in NZ), I’m in Speak Up For Women, NZ, held public events including touring Meghan Murphy, interviewed Meghan for Redline.

My employer tried to sack me and I left after a mediated settlement. I am a nurse working in sexual health, contraception.

I want to protect my lesbian daughter, and all the other girls out there

This issue is important to me because I see the risks to women and girls. I want to protect my lesbian daughter, and all the other girls out there.

I’ve attended public meetings of GC feminists, debated on social media and talked to a number of women IRL (in real life). I’ve donated to a few fundraisers and signed many petitions.

I have had difficult conversations with my children, who are split, two pro GC and two anti GC. I have been endlessly insulted and threatened on twitter. I’ve had temporary bans for harmless comments.

I’m a therapist in an LGBT setting and I’m being requested to see younger and younger kids who are very confused

This is hugely important to me as I’m a therapist in an LGBT setting (have been for years) and I’m being requested to see younger and younger kids (as an example a 13yr old the other day) who are very confused and feeling like they’re ‘in the wrong body’ etc, 99% are gay.

The increase is not coincidental, and all of these kids (roughly 12/13 to around 17) are constantly online. They’ve been taught that if they feel it or suspect it, it just be so.

I have to be very careful not to lose my job and feel like I can do some good actually by keeping quiet and trying to develop a relationship with these younger clients and encourage them to really listen to their own voice. And if I can, to try to open them up to the idea that so much changes at this age and you just don’t know who the hell you are till you’re a bit older.

There’s no *way* this amount of young people can be trans, and the ones who I’ve either kept seeing past their 18th and 19th etc haven’t been, they’ve been gay in the majority of cases.

If they get steered to the wrong place/person in such a state of confusion and vulnerability, I dread to think if the possible long lasting consequences.

Biology matters

I care because I’m a woman and a doctor. Biology matters.

I have shared concerns with friends, colleagues and loved ones.

So far, I’ve been met only with agreement.

I think that it is crucial for female only spaces to exist

I think that it is crucial for female only spaces to exist. I was raped in a changing room and I do not wish to see a woman with a penis in a changing room or in the showers of my gym.

I took action against turning the staff ladies’ washroom at my workplace into a unisex washroom. Funny enough, the mens’ room was supposed to stay.

I no longer talk to a few people I was friendly with.

I am gay and I also see the damage done to my community

This matters to me mostly because of the safeguarding of our children, particularly young girls. I am gay and I also see the damage done to my community.

Gender non conforming kids (like many of us LGB) are told that they are in the wrong body, based on sexist constructs, that our mothers fought to get free of. Not only that, they are doing irreparable harm to their body. A whole generation of lesbian is being erased. My sisters.

I have mostly talked individually to people and in non gender related FB groups I am part of.

I’ve presented research a psychological point of view of the gender ideology. I just can’t do it under my name yet, for fear of retribution in my work and loss of my license if I say that I won’t affirm at all costs.

I have been mostly followed and harrassed in my private message. My main profile on FB got reported and I had to start over with another profile. But the most disheartening is talking to smart people and being told that it just doesn’t affect them or they don’t see how such a minority could change laws.
