A process
Thick thick thick. Thick as a whole load of planks.
The shadow secretary of education thinks that men who “go through a process” should be using the women’s toilets. What “process”? There is no “process” that turns men into women, just as there’s no “process” that turns stallions into mares or bulls into cows.
I suppose the idea is – whether they know it or not – that if men are willing to go to all that trouble then we owe it to them to let them take what belongs to women. They’re sincere, they made an effort, they jumped through hoops, they really really want to. Sorry, wimz, you lose.
And for many TiMs, that “process” does extend beyond donning a wig, a dress, and some lipstick. And of course, with Self-ID, tranactivists are lobbying for the removal of any and all “process.” Labour’s pledge to simplify things does not inspire confidence for the future of women’s rights in the UK.
There’s a “process” that turns bulls into steers… but they should still use the little bulls’ room.
Invariably, during TV interviews in which Kathleen Stock has very patiently explained her position, the interviewer will get to the point of, ‘yes, but what if a trans-woman really, really, really, really means it?’
