I appreciate your humor in reporting this very scary, very serious topic. Truly horrifying at the doubling down. People like my husband think the Supreme Court ruling, etc mean it’s all going to away! Hardly. But it’s hard to get people to understand the fight is far from over. Articles like this are important.

Those were among the most humourous [sic]s I’ve read in some time 😂 I couldn’t help but imagine the crabs being sicced upon the museum [sic] leadership.

I expect a Trans Day of Rage or seventeen to follow. How we are to distinguish such days from all the other days in which enraged & entitled trans-identifying males impose their will physically upon females asserting their rights — to speak, to pee, to be incarcerated — is a question I’m frankly not qualified to answer.

But the tide is turning, slowly, with thanks to brave and persistent women like yourself and so many others 🙏

Hoping your TERF Island elbows hit their mark way over here in the former colonies …

💪💪🇨🇦

Indeed. I so ❤️ the dry wit of many British people. If it were not for people like Bev making me laugh, I might have lost my shit a long time ago.

Do you agree the UK has a special place in the hearts of many people in it’s former colonies like 🇨🇦? I am prepared to attempt to self ID as British to gain entry into 🇬🇧 if 🇨🇦 will not reverse course. I think it’s a tragedy that we gave up the British High Court for our Supreme Court as we’d have clarity in law and a defence of women’s rights and gay and lesbian rights.

I think the UK has a special place for many: I’m grateful for the civil & criminal law legacies, mostly anti-monarchy (a GG voted for by senior Officers of the Order of Canada is my personal preference), and very much a fan of both TERF Islanders & British humour.

But then there are our Québécois compatriots, and the legacy of Le Francophonie, our myriad native host nations, and the numerous diaspora populations — we are truly unique as a Nation of Nations.

And I am confident we’ll follow the UK’s lead on the gender file, eventually. The train is picking up speed, and while we may be among the last officially give up the facade, I believe that we’re too sensible a people to ignore reality forever.

🤞

I hope you all can pass on the study below. It slays the myth that trans ideology affects only the few. Just extrapolate this study of misreported trans crimes to medicine, economics or any other field.

Presently, and this worsens as each day goes by, the statistical underpinnings of our research are rotting away by the inclusion of false information in many of our most crucial data bases. These data bases are meant to provide a foundation for all research and studies on crime, medicine, education and economics. Without the use of valid statistics all conclusions in these areas become corrupted and meaningless. See article below on crime & justice to realize just how enormous an impact this falsification of data is already having. B.W.

P.S. Transgender identified men have the highest rates of H.I.V. If that figure were included in the data base for women I wonder how would it affect treatment targets and outcomes?

Why on earth do these ridiculous organisations say they have to await ‘ guidance ´ ? The UK Supreme Court has determined the law. Its decision is binding.
