Hi SB, re: walking and chewing gum, that would be nice and I'm not opposed to expanding transgender rights or recognising & acting to limit their persecution per se. However this gets into tricky territory when trans rights begin to impinge on hard-won rights for women, as when the article notes that: 'under a self-ID system there would be no defined criteria to determine whether a person is a woman, and hence no effective way of preserving women-only spaces (including prisons and refuges), with serious consequences for safety and privacy in such spaces. Concerns also arise regarding political and workplace representation for women, and fairness and safety in women's sport.' Defending trans people against reactionaries - fine Allowing trans activists to persecute good people who have advanced the cause, and to potentially undo the work they've done - not fine cheers, I
