Mate, do you know how long I’ve been transsexual? Over 30 years. During that time nobody, I repeat, NOBODY, has wanted me not to exist. NOBODY has EVER wished me dead. You cling on to this fetishised victimhood like a malodorous limpet on the blistered backside of humanity

Blackman, I’ve been a ‘trans’ person for over 30 years, nothing’s stopping me from getting married or dying with dignity. What GRA reform will do is give autogynephiles, fetishists and perpetrators of sexual assault a carte blanche to enter female spaces. It’s a rapists’ charter.

That's strange, Nash, because in my 30+ years of being transsexual the vast majority of 'GC' women have been nothing but respectful to me, even @Docstockk , who you pathetically portray as a pantomime villain. I count many as my friends and several have come on my guided walks.
Not only do GCs hate trans people, but by cutting up the progress flag like this they mark their distain for queer people of colour, those living with HIV or lost to AIDS and the intersex community. GC ideology is a pipeline to the alt-right.

@BluskyeAllison @CllrKarenPower @Fingalcoco @RobertBohan Cllr Power and Mr Bohan. I’ve been transsexual for 30+ years during which time I’ve accrued considerable personal and academic experience of ‘trans’ issues, my research is global. So when I tell you that nothing Ms Bailey has said is remotely ‘transphobic’ I do so from authority.

Mate, I’ve been ‘transsexual’ for over 30 years, living, working and studying in Europe and Latin America so I can tell you, categorically, from both personal and academic experience, that the world is far safer for so-called ‘transwomen’ than it is for women and girls.

Mate, there are 33.75 million women in the UK, 125 of whom have been convicted of sexual offences (and mostly for connivance/aiding and abetting). 48,000 UK males identify as ‘transwomen’, 76 of whom are in prison for sexual offending. You do the ratios …

In addition to being ontologically incoherent, the term ‘transphobe’ is, of course, a misnomer. Women don’t fear a man because he dons a cheap satin frock and bad wig and claims to be ‘trans’, they are, quite rightly, wary of him simply because he’s a man. And in a female space.

Here's a funny thing, Kalb. I'm transsexual, when I had took extended sick leave to recover from 'gender reassignment' surgery 26 years ago my job was covered by a woman who'd had a hysterectomy. When I returned to work she was still a woman and I was still a biological male.
