The 2:1 civilian to combatant casualty ratio in Gaza is unprecedentedly low for a conflict in an urban environment where one side routinely hides amongst the civilian population. The numbers speak for themselves: this is obviously not a 'genocide'.

invites visitors to write down the name of their hero & add it to a display. My partner wrote 'JK Rowling'. It was immediately removed by a member of staff because 'She is transphobic' .

This is as blatant an example of fake news as you will ever see.
At no point has the PM said anything even resembling this.
There is a clip circulating which edits his words to make it seem as if his rejection of the idea is an endorsement. But she must know the clip is a lie.

But even if you want to change the referent of 'woman' from adult human female to some other set of people, that is not itself an argument for a transfer of rights from adult human females to this other set. You seem to have missed that step.

Yes, they'd judiciously remove Hitler. But as you say, you're not comparing the two. There's an unresolved disagreement and an open debate about gender issues, and Rowling has been a reasonable voice on one side - at a cost to herself.

No, it's for women that fit the common and the technical meaning of the word 'female'. Nobody needs to verify anything and it's very weird you suggest they do.
