@DnaiFear @daniellismore I do want to say that I don’t think trans people are the threat. Many of the people I’ve been in therapy with don’t feel comfortable changing or sharing space with other women.

@AjtrReid @daniellismore No, the point is, it's an extremely small chance that an assault will be perpetrated in a public place by a stranger. The reason the stranger assaults seem so widespread is because they're sensationalized in the media. When was the last time you turned on the local news and you

Since the EHRC guidelines came out I have been removed from the men’s bathroom and sent to the women’s. Four times.
I just wanted to use the men’s room.
Let me explain why this is absurd. The guidance was supposed to bring clarity. What it has actually produced is loo attendants overriding my choice of where to use the bathroom, men walking out of the men’s room when they see me, checking the sign to confirm it says men, and then walking into the women’s instead.
Then some of those same men find me at the bar later. Behind their wives’ backs.
This is the clarity your guidance delivered @EHRC @bphillipsonMP @Keir_Starmer.
I choose the men’s bathroom. That is my body. My decision. Not a loo attendant’s. Not a Supreme Court ruling’s. Mine. And four times since these guidelines came out that choice has been overridden by someone enforcing a policy that does not account for the full reality of how human beings actually look and exist in the world.
The UK was number one in Europe for LGBTQIA+ rights. We are now 22nd. And it will be worse next year because everything causing that drop was announced after the index was published.
Remember segregated bathrooms. Remember what that represented and what it took to end it.
If this has happened to you since the EHRC guidelines came out please say so. A class legal action is being considered and it is stronger with more people. Document every incident. Date it. Keep it.
The guidance does not work. The doors are not operating the way they imagined. And the people being harmed by this chaos are the ones the guidance was supposedly designed to protect.
It is not protecting anyone. It is just causing chaos. Four times. I just wanted to use the loo. This is backfiring on terfs lol

@DnaiFear @daniellismore I’m not dismissing it and many families turn a blind eye and many children never tell because they are inherently afraid.
It is a very complex issue and under resourced in treatments.
English

@AjtrReid @daniellismore heard about someone being arrested for repeatedly assaulting their own child over the course of years? Why do you think that is? Because children are threatened into silence, and / or the family / community turns a blind eye or sweeps it under the rug. You're not just barking up
English

@DnaiFear @daniellismore I’m not saying they are. It just puts some of us in a very vulnerable position and it’s not rational but panic never is.
I do want to thank you for engaging in a conversation and I hope for a solution where no one feels vulnerable.
English

@AjtrReid @daniellismore the wrong tree, you're in the wrong damn forest. Trans people are NOT the threat bigots try to insist that they are.
English

@DnaiFear @daniellismore Well, processing it is a lifelong challenge for sure. I’m glad you are not in fear but everyone’s brain is different and sometimes the panic kicks in before you even know what triggered it.
I wish you all the best and the best revenge is living your best life.
English

@AjtrReid @daniellismore Some may hide, but some of us look that fear in the face, recognize where the real threat lies, and get a tattoo on the bottom of our feet, the ink made with the ashes of our dead abusers, so we can walk on their grave for the rest of our lives.

@BladeoftheS And Daily Mail, GB News, Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson, Andrew Tate ignoring these -:

@AdamPaigge @BladeoftheS Of course, the list wouldn’t be complete without him.
Now list the names of all the people who committed the crimes of rape, murder, attempted murder etc.
English

@BladeoftheS Always the problem of the listed known media figures but never the perpetrators.
Why even have laws?

@wsattler119 @SuburbanPolly If they’re on private property then yes, they need to be removed.

@SuburbanPolly Having the police tear down homeless tents and arrest homeless is PP's solution,

@kim_gaetz Prepare yourself for higher taxes since the US will likely be pulling out of NATO and we need defense and Europe doesn’t have much to help us.

@AntoniHouston @mbkline @Alexarmstrong You do realize Oct 7 was 2023 and you are posting an article from 2018?
Israel has very enforced borders because the have to since there were a lot of suicide bombers from Gaza entering.
I’m not a fan of the current Israel leadership but the have a right to defend their border

@AjtrReid @mbkline @Alexarmstrong Why did October 7 happen?
I have no idea, but maybe you can enlighten me.

@OmarYKhan We don’t want him here anyways. The most inept, unethical and incompetent PM in recent Canadian History.

Leave the man alone. He was there to support his girlfriend as a private citizen!

Justin Trudeau is facing criticism for showing up to the FIFA World Cup game in the United States instead of watching Canada’s game.

@DnaiFear @daniellismore I’m very sorry someone did that to you! Doors may not make a difference but some of us hide inside most of the time because the trauma is too much.
English

@AjtrReid @daniellismore Hey, hi. One of those one-in-five here 👋🏼 Governmental guidance, bathroom doors, and signage wouldn't have made a damn bit of difference when my father SA'ed me in the living room. Also, statistics show that the overwhelmingly vast majority of SA victims know the perp.

🚨The Most Unhinged Anti-Semitic Rant EVER?🚨
Russian Lilly is a common attendee of the Pro-Hamas rallies in Toronto.
Here she is blaming the "Zionists" & their "hook" noses for all the world problems, calling them a cancer, and for their elimination.

@chrislilge @CPC_HQ 1 in 5 females under 15 are sexually assaulted and need female only protected spaces.
There a larger percentage than trans men. Their trauma is real.
English

@CPC_HQ needs to enact legislation that defines women as an Adult Human Female in law and policy!
Mich 🇨🇦@MichinOntario
@PierrePoilievre Does that mean your party is willing to change the government definition of 'women'? Because, currently under the @liberal_party it includes males.
English

@loquaciousghost @sappholives83 Because we’ve allowed special categories and lanyards for practically everyone.

@sappholives83 They are never happy, they want to pass and be accepted as women but still to be known and treated like a special other category.

@Antonio_Duscio @Concern70732755 Yes and quietly work their asses off.

@AjtrReid @Concern70732755 That's awesome. Italians seem to respectfully hold on to their heritage even though we assimilate.
