Thank You, for Your lovely Article❤️ Thank You for shearing. (Within a paranthese, I take this opportunity, at facebook, to add that, Unfortunately many politicians think that the sexual differantiaton of the brain, is not biological. They call the sexual differantion of the brain, «gender». And they want to make that definition, the standard of speek. And they call the outer physical genitals, «biological». Thereby they have won; their battle for spreeding disinformation, only by using not correct words and definitions. I think it is necessery, to point out, that the sexual differention of the brain, is biological. If someone has a discrepancy between the sexual differention of the brain, and the outer physical sex caracters, it is biological. It is a biological discrepancy). Again, thank You, for shearing. I am seeing forward to reading many more of Your articles❤️ Thank You❤️👍🙂❤️👍
Thank you for this. It’s so healthy to read such an impassioned argument from ‘the other side’ and god knows we all need to do it so much more. I’m interested that you suppose in your piece that the cuts to women’s aid and refuge places and the spiralling/still-sky-high domestic abuse rates were not ‘always’ the fight for the same feminists who celebrate today’s ruling? I’ve never understood it to be anything but that ALL of this is the ongoing fight. This - and so much more (pay gap, maternity rights, rape conviction rates and on and on) has always been the fight, you’re right. It’s just that a bunch of women (myself included) feel alarmed at sharing the remaining female-only spaces we have with biological men. I won’t quote any stats about attacks on women in those spaces as a result because I don’t think it’s fair. But I read the ruling reports with a mounting sense of relief that there are still courts who uphold BOTH the rights of biological women and those of biological men who wish to live as women. I don’t see them as cancelling each other out and get up knowing - and being proud of - the fact that we live in a country with a broad enough tolerance and wide enough vision to grant all groups of sex and gender the rights that are due to them to live in safety. If you’re quoting the dire stats about male on female violence as a dereliction of the cause of feminism, wouldn’t you quote the dire stats about attacks of transgender people as a dereliction of transgender activism? You wouldn’t because it wouldn’t be fair. They are both dire, both egregious and both - largely - the fault of toxic biological males. We need to fight together, not each other. There is so much work to be done.

Thank you for sharing you and your dad’s experiences.
Celebrating the removal of rights of an extremely vulnerable minority seems anathema to the goals of any human rights movement.
I hope you are able to return to and still enjoy the place where your novel is set even when the world is trying.
Beautiful and powerful writing. Big love
