Hmmmm, disinformation... like?:
1. Intersex people are neither male or female
2. Intersex people prove that sex is a spectrum, or that male people are female
3. Sex is a cultural, or historical concept, and didn't exist before the colonisation of the Americas
I think that point of view is increasingly getting a foothold in Scotpol. Irrespective of where your sympathies are on gender recognition, you should not look the other way when people are spreading disinformation. It damages everyone by warping debate.

7. There is not a significant desistance rate in young people with gender dysphoria if they are not medicalised

14. Trans people are the most vulnerable people in the world, and we will demonstrate this, every year, using the murders of Brazilian prostitutes.
17. Because of this it is important that they are not allowed to speak, and failing that, that everything they say is treated with derision
More from Dr. Jane Clare Jones
To the small group of women, many of whom have platforms to protect, who are intent on throwing other women under the bus.
1. That a small number of transitioned trans women have been using women's spaces for a long time is not the same as the impact of a new rights movement
that demands that *anybody is a women only on the basis of self-declaration* and explicitly includes cross-dressers under the trans umbrella. There was less than 5000 people who received a GRC. The estimates of the numbers of cross-dressers in the male population is around 4%.
THAT is a MASSIVE difference.
2. Therefore, any comments you make re: women's current resistance are irrelevant. We are not responding to the same thing.
3. Calling women's concerns about the number of males who may now have access to their intimate spaces 'hysteria'
immediately discredits you as a feminist. (Hello Judy!)
4. Female people are socialised into the rapeable class. They are subjected to objectification and violation from childhood, and especially from their early teens. This has a massive impact on
mental health and sense of their own personhood. Many of us experience being female as fucking traumatic. We *do not* share this experience with people who go through childhood and puberty as males, and whose impression of what 'being female' means is informed by patriarchal

To the small group of cis women worried about sharing spaces with trans women: you\u2019ve almost certainly already been doing so for most of ur life. The online trend of anti-trans hysteria is new, not trans women existing in th world we all share (under patriarchy we all experience)

The world can be scary for women: we are at risk of violence from men we know and men we don\u2019t, we can be ridiculed and ignored in health settings, mocked in popular culture, excluded from opportunities for leadership and power. Cis women share all these experiences w trans women

99% of sexual offenders are male.
88% of victims of sexual offences are female.
Any society that is serious about protecting women from sexual offences must not decree *any* subclass of males immune from suspicion of being predatory.

Do you think it would be legitimate to ask if for example black or gay people should be excluded from certain schools?

The same false memes about predators once circled those groups too.

- Skills that are rare and valuable
- Legible
