One of the things about the "GC" movement is that at the start it was all trying to be reasonable and "of course I support real trans people, but what if a predatory man takes advantage?" and along the way it morphed into "all trans people are predators and must be identifiable and kept separate"
The cornerstone of modern transmisogyny is a complete denial of the harm trans women are subject to at the hands of society.
Politicians and gender-conservative activists revel in fictions of us as predatory men while erasing our elevated rates of assault, impoverishment, and hyperscrutiny.

I will repeat my ongoing statement as a survivor of childhood sex*al ab*se.
Never, in the many years I have been involved with online support of other survivors, has ONE single survivor said their ab*ser was a male predator pretending to be a trans female. It's not just a fantasy stirred up

I can’t speak for other ex unbound authors who have also been screwed over but my assumption is that this works the same way for them. All of us have had earnings taken from us, are trying to rebuild what we lost, and this just muddies the waters.

Quick note to anyone thinking of buying my books: please purchase the new Swift Press versions, NOT the relatively small number of Unbound versions still knocking about, & being sold by OOINYA. Unbound stopped paying me for my work early in 2024 and I will never see a penny for these books.

Having it interrupted by breathless news bulletin telling me ‘government has banned taxis for asylum seekers’ *really isn’t*
New lines like ‘Home Office spent £1k over weekend on taxis’ would struggle to make a local newspaper

I hadn’t realised but there’s a bit of a TERFy spat going on over at the other place.
Seems Jenny Watson has reported LGB Alliance to the Charity Commission over ‘safeguarding’ issues. And Linehan has waded in on her side.
Some of the TERFs are not happy! 😁

When I was on my chaplaincy placement, I met a young woman seeking asylum who was in deep grief following a miscarriage. She had taken multiple taxis to and from her accomodation because there was literally no other way to get to the hospital to receive the medical care she required.

You know when terfs say they are only wanting to "protect women"?
It repeatedly becomes apparent that they'd rather protect abusers *at the expense* of women.
They just cannot help showing the world who they really are.

I had wondered why several prominent terfs had simultaneously turned against Jenny without any clear explanations why. Here, she talks about the LGB Alliance conspiring to smear her in order to protect a male sexual predator in their movement.

Institutional Betrayal, Part 3: Sexual Abuse by Insiders: How Institutions Protect the Predator, Not the Woman
When sexual abuse happens inside a system built on virtue, the cover-up isn’t an accident. Those meant to protect women protect themselves. This isn’t confusion, it's collusion with the predator.

We, the transgender community, receive a lot of flack for apparently erasing the word, 'woman'.
Yet, I increasingly see in the press, transgender women referred to as 'biological males' (slur) AND cisgender women referred to as 'females' rather than women.
