Trans activists have called for their community to be “armed” after a Supreme Court ruling barred biological men from women-only spaces.
A protester on the London Trans+ Pride march on Saturday carried placards reading: “DIY or Die. Trans emancipation. Not rainbow capitalism. Arm trans people.”
Another sign read: “Bitch trolls from hell,” with pictures of JK Rowling and the bosses of For Women Scotland, who won the Supreme Court case against the Scottish Government on gender in April.
Ah well in that case we’ll change our minds and decide that trans people are the nicest, most reasonable, least demanding and entitled, best in every way people you could ask for.
Helen Joyce, the director of advocacy for human rights charity Sex Matters, which campaigns for clarity about biological sex in law and life, said the signs revealed the “central hatred of women is to trans activism”.
She said: “The reason this movement treats JK Rowling and the grassroots campaigners of For Women Scotland as enemies is simply that they dare to say no to men who want to transgress women’s boundaries. One side in this debate stands up for everyone’s rights to safety, dignity, and privacy in single sex spaces. The other calls for violence against women. It shouldn’t be hard for politicians and public figures to decide which side they are on.”
Welllll but you have to take into account the fact that many politicians and public figures hate women, so they’re happy to jump on board a movement that puts women-hatred front and center.
Aw.. the sweet little ladies just want to pee in peace.
