Suzanne Moore in the Telegraph:

The vast majority of us support trans people who have dysphoria and suffer as a result. This is a very small number of people. But the taking over of women’s sports, spaces, prisons, refuges and the mangling of our very language is not to make a marginalised group feel better; it is to give men ever more power and the ability to break down every boundary women have fought to set up.

If you have watched so-called trans activists intimidate women as I have, banging on the doors, blocking entrances, often masked, what you will see is gendered violence. And that gender is male….

I regularly ask these people a few questions. What is gender identity? When was it invented? At what age does it come into being? How is it different from stereotyped gender roles? How much money is to be made through surgery and lifelong hormones? What is the need for men who identify as women to make women feel uncomfortable? What happens when you want to have a child if you have been made infertile or in fact don’t have a womb? Do you just hire one? Is surrogacy the next phase of dehumanising women? I have yet to receive answers.

The sheer anger of certain trans activists puts me in mind of men’s rights activists; they want what women have and that means access to us all. In response, there is still huge cowardice.

We're still waiting for brave Sir Keir to speak up in defence of Rosie Duffield against the male Labour bullies….
