J
K Rowling is famous but she's not the only woman to have spoken out about the
transgender issue and the SNP"s Gender Reform Bill for Scotland. She
accused Nicola Sturgeon of being a destroyer of women's rights and denied being
'transphobic'.
I
think Rowling and the women who campaigned against the Bill had a point. They
said it was wide open to abuse by predatory males and that it put women and
young girls at risk because they would have to share the same spaces with these
sex abusers. Sturgeon chose to ignore the warnings and they were proved right.
While
not all men who have transgendered to women are sex abusers, a number of male
sex offenders in Scottish jails, have become transgendered women and have
demanded to be transferred to women's prisons. Sturgeon herself, said that the
double rapist Adam Graham aka Isla Bryson, may have been "gaming the
system", and so did his ex-wife.
What
does it really mean to be a woman, if any Tom, Dick, or Harry, can simply
change gender and self-identity as a woman and can be legally recognised as a
woman? I'm not surprised that many women are anxious about this issue and its
implications for them.
How
people choose to live their lives is their business but when we're told that a
man with a penis is a woman and there are 72 different genders, we're being
gaslighted. Some people may choose to abandon reality, but I still think it's
worth defending.
