Guest post: It’s not “liberation,” it’s a home invasion

Originally a comment by Your Name’s not Bruce? on Take your “inclusion” and.

Also how revolting to see two women in government putting women’s safety at risk for the sake of this stupid ideology.

What’s in it for them? Not that politics should be about self-gain (thanks Mr. Trump!), but how do these two women see their efforts to ruin women’s sport? Certainly not as “efforts to ruin women’s sport” but that’s what’s going to happen if they get their way. Politics should at least be about being aware of the results of your actions, otherwise, why bother? If they’re not willing to talk to people who will be predictably and adversely affected by this proposal than they’re not doing their jobs. They’re not setting free a deprived, downtrodden minority, but inserting MEN into women’s rugby, with great potential for physical harm to those already in the league because they’re actually women. It’s not “liberation,” it’s a home invasion.

Still, one wonders, what are they thinking? What parts of the trans bullshit won them over? Do they really believe that TiMs are not male? Do they really believe that TiMs are disadvantaged more than women? Have these two cabinet ministers(!) consulted with women to see what they think? Have they talked to any uncaptured sports scientists who know the science behind male and female bodies? Unless of course they don’t care what this does to women, and are using this little exercise as a way to earn Stonewall points, and they’re not interested in anything other than looking virtuous and progressive to others who’ve swallowed this stupid ideology. News flash: outside of your little self-satisfied, self righteous bubble, there’s a bigger world of reality and policy that you’re blindly fucking around with, that results in lost opportunities and broken bones for women. If you’re not going to bother with little details like that while in government, then you shouldn’t be in charge of anything with more real-world impact than counting paperclips, or be allowed to operate any machinery more complicated than velcro.
