No you may not ask that question.

A woman has been blocked by Bristol city council from asking Green Party leaders whether “predatory men” could enter single-sex female spaces by posing as trans women.

Helen, a university academic in the city, submitted a question to ask at the full council meeting on Tuesday evening but was told it was “offensive” and would not be allowed.

I’ll tell you what’s offensive. City councils telling women we can’t ask questions about men in women’s spaces is offensive. Why is it offensive? Because it makes it so blindingly obvious that women just don’t matter and that our safety is overruled in favor of men’s determination to intrude on us against our will. What does that sound like? Oh yes, rape. It sounds like rape.

Bristol city council, led by the Green Party, has criticised the Supreme Court ruling in April that the words “woman” and “man” in the Equality Act refer to sex at birth.

Ok so then what are the words for people whose sex at birth is one or the other? If “woman” and “man” are not the right words, what are the right words? Please inform.

The council has been openly aligned with trans activists since it passed a motion in July 2022 to “recognise and affirm trans men are men, trans women are women”…

An entire city council actually passed a motion “affirming” that women are men and men are women if they say so. Might as well “affirm” that the sun is a warm yellow sphere a mile above the earth and the earth is a platform ten miles wide.

Tony Dyer, the Green council leader, claimed the Supreme Court ruling “falsely pitted women’s safety against trans rights” and said the “guidance does not achieve the necessary clarity and risks driving further exclusion and division for some of the most marginalised and vulnerable people in society”.

By which he means trans people, especially the male ones. He does not mean women, except for the few of them who call themselves men. He thinks men who pretend to be women are more vulnerable than women.
