This is the problem. The new breed of TRA (trans radical activists - the ones that send JKR and others death threats) have given ALL trans people and hermaphrodites a bad name. Pips Bunce (and others that declare their gender to be different on any given day) just make a laughing stock of people who hate their '***' so much they've gone through surgery.
Self-ID has the potential to be very dangerous. A quick Google at transcrimeuk shows very clearly how many male predators there are out there that are willing to make the most of any opportunity. This article:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-57853385 was slated by the TRA for, as far as I'm concerned, stating the bleeding obvious.
I'm old enough to remember the crap I put up with from men during my younger days but it seems to have got even worse and is squeezing women from all sides. It's disgusting the way women are treated by the police when it comes to **** and abuse. They drive around in their rainbow cars with their rainbow helmets (all courtesy of the taxpayer), putting their Stonewall training to use (also courtesy of the taxpayer), while treating women and girls extremely badly (strip searches performed by female staff while male officers look on and film with their phones).
What amazes me the most, though,
are companies like QVC pandering to what I consider 'non-charity' events when their customer base consists of a very large amount of women. I've been shopping with Q for many years now but have cut down a great deal. Stunts like this are going to make me turn off completely, just as I no longer set foot into M&S since they opened their women's changing rooms to men that say they're women. I remember my first bra fitting there decades ago. I was dying of embarrassment at the time but now young girls also have to put up with men invading what should be a female space.
Then there are period products. Now marketed to uterus/cervix-havers or 'people'. Not a girl or woman in sight. Yet these products are exclusively for women (even if they don't identify as such). Or unless you're one of those blokes that raid the hygiene bins for used products as they have a fetish for them - and. of course, now believe they have legal access to women's toilets.
Apologies for the long ranty replies. I honestly don't hate men. Just those who have no regard for women.
