That's Not What We Meant At All

A Mess of Gross Pottage

You have got to laugh at the latest mess in the UK over sexuality and trans-genderism.  A brouhaha has emerged between various factions and cliques.  The issues turn around biological sex versus identificational sex. 

The identificationals are the equivalent of the Stormtroopers.  They have been called "trans-gender bullies".  Ouch.  The biologicals, precious petals that they are, believe they are being pushed across a bridge too far.

Stonewall, the country’s most prominent gay rights charity, has come under fire from well-known supporters for “demonising” anyone who speaks out about transgender issues.

Leading members of the lesbian, gay, transsexual and intersex community have started a petition urging the charity to rethink its transgender policy, saying that they are fed up with its refusal to recognise other viewpoints.

In a letter published in The Times today, they said that Stonewall’s advocacy of extreme transgender politics was threatening women’s rights, undermining gay and lesbian identity and stifling freedom of speech. They accused Stonewall of refusing to recognise LGBT people who oppose the hostile tactics of transgender activists.  Transgender campaigners say that they represent a vulnerable, marginalised group but critics accuse them of bullying opponents.  [The Times]

What does this actually mean in the down and dirty streets?

They write: “Stonewall’s promotion of the concept of ‘gender identity’, which has it that a man or woman is anyone (of either sex) who identifies as such, is also undermining the basis of lesbian, gay and bisexual identities as orientated around same-sex attraction.  “Lesbians in particular are coming under pressure to accept male-bodied trans women into their spaces and as sexual partners.”  [Breitbart London]

Lesbianism--reliant upon biological gender--is so yesterday.  If an identificationalist trans-gender (biological male) wants to force his/her way into the local lesbian harem no-one must oppose or resist.  Trans rule.  Got it! 

They said that the charity (Stonewall) had “made mistakes” in pursuing an ideology that asserts that trans women are women and labels anyone who disagrees transphobic. They urged Ruth Hunt, Stonewall’s chief executive, to accept that allowing people to change their legal gender by simply declaring themselves male or female would conflict with women who do not wish to share single-sex spaces with biological males.

A government consultation on gender recognition law reform is due to close this month.  The petition accused the charity of undermining “the concept of homosexuality itself” by “uncritically adopting a form of transgender politics” that tells teenagers who do not conform [The Times]

Homosexuality is so yesterday.
