Embrace the label.

Darlington nurse Karen Danson has accused the NHS Trust of “abandoning” its female workers after their landmark legal victory against the hospital.

The Darlington Nurses won their legal case against their employer after raising concerns about a biological male, who identifies as a woman named Rose, being allowed to use the female staff changing room.

…

Defending their legal fight against the trust, Danson declared that the nurses are simply “fighting for what’s right”, and are “not terfs (trans-exclusionary radical feminists)” for doing so.

She stated: “There’s been lots of positivity out there for us, there’s loads of positive comments, and I’m not a bigot, I’m not a terf, I’m just fighting for what’s right.”

Hey now. Stop that. There’s nothing wrong with being a terf, in fact not being a terf is the moral mistake. Terfs are not “bigots” just as you are not a bigot for not wanting a man in your changing room.

Maybe you’re thinking terfs are “bigots” because we don’t stop at individual cases but dispute the foundational dogma of trans ideology? But we have to. Of course we do. The ideology is what prompts and justifies and protects the individual cases of men bouncing into women’s spaces and refusing to leave. It doesn’t work to accept the ideology and reject just this one action based on the ideology because it affects you. Trans ideology says men really are women if they say they are, so what right do you have to keep them out of your changing room?

“I want to feel safe when I get changed. What’s happened to me could have happened to other people, and I want to be a voice for them to stand up and come forward and say this is not acceptable.”

Other women, you mean. It’s not the same for men. It’s not the same kind of threat for men.

You can’t talk about this subject without addressing the basic lie. It’s not “bigotry” to address it.
