Language police twist trans cause
Divorcing the word woman from female biology separates women from their sex-based rights. It is misogyny, and in plain sight.
Why do we need more consultation on the Gender Recognition Act?
If straight men can reinvent themselves as lesbian women, lesbian groups risk being over-run.
Ideological virtue signalling does not advance trans rights or battle transphobia…it trivialises them
[Transgender] ideology not only abuses the acceptance and goodwill that I had taken for granted, it also trivialises hate. If even the facts of life are deemed to be transphobic then maybe transphobia has lost all meaning?
Does the SNP really want to copy Norway’s gender revolution?
Norway sleepwalked into this mess. If Scotland is citing Norway as good practice, then they must listen to women like Vanessa who are living with the consequences.
It’s not right for a census to ignore people’s biological sex at birth simply to appease trans people like me
The census should ask for ‘biological sex as registered at birth’, whatever the howls of protest that might ensue about identities being invalidated. The statisticians need objective evidence, not subjective feelings.

The transgender debate is tearing the SNP apart
Sturgeon knows she has a problem. Activists within her party have been entranced by gender identity ideology. … But it isn’t kind to deny truth, and the party is now in a mess.
Why does Innocent think this pensioner is guilty of ‘transphobia’?
Nonentities on the internet make false accusations all the time; what’s astonishing – at least where ‘transphobia’ is cited – is the way that corporations react.
Why sex matters when it comes to the census
The purpose of the census was never to validate identities or protect feelings; it is to collect data to inform present and future needs, including those applicable to transgender people such as myself.
