Let trans people swim in peace. Fine, let them, by all means. But what about women? Can we let women swim in peace too?
Hahaha don’t be silly, no, of course not, because what Pink News means by “Let trans people swim in peace” is let men who are trans swim with women and make women swim with men who are trans. It does not mean let women swim with women. It would be exclusionary to let women swim with women, but it’s inclusive to make women swim with men who are trans. Only some people get to do things in peace in this brave new world, and women are decidedly not among them.
Women never have been, of course. We haven’t been free to walk on the sidewalks in peace, to ride the elevator in peace, to go to the grocery store in peace, to go to the office and do our jobs in peace…
So we carved out a space for ourselves, where we could do at least a few things in peace. Now they’ve found a new way to break down the door and keep us from doing what we will in peace.
One thing I always believed is that I could at least find solace in the bathroom. That, too, has been stripped from me. If I want to get away from the hassles, there is no place left to go just to draw a deep breath. Unless I can find a menstruating women’s hut. Apparently men won’t go in there even to save women’s lives. And I haven’t heard of trans women (or trans men) demanding to be allowed to live in isolation for a week out of every month in a crappy hut with no amenities.
‘“As far as I’m aware, we’ve never had a man turn up and say, ‘Today I’m a woman and want to swim in the women’s pond.’ The only problems to date have been the so-called gender-critical feminist Man Friday protestors at the men’s pond,” Lord said. ‘
And just how far is Edward Lord ‘aware?’ Has he made ANY effort to even consider the issue?
