@RepDanGoldman Islam is an ideological cult disguised as a religion. All they ever do is call for the destruction of all that is not Islamic.

Islamophobia has no place in America. On this International Day to Combat Islamophobia, we must recommit to stamping out hate, confronting prejudice, and standing up for our Muslim neighbors in New York and across the country.
We cannot conquer hate of any kind if we do not conquer hate of all kinds.

I didn’t really get the problem with gender ideology at first.
I’m liberal-minded about most things. 'Live and let' live has generally been my motto. I believed inclusion mattered. I believed in being kind. In not using language that might upset people unnecessarily.
I knew people who identified as transgender. I knew some adults chose medical treatments or surgery to resemble the opposite sex. That seemed to me a matter of personal autonomy. Adults can do what they wish with their own bodies.
What I hadn’t realised - and I feel slightly embarrassed admitting this - was that I’d misunderstood what was being claimed.
I thought “transgender” meant a form of self-expression. A man who liked wearing women’s clothes. Someone changing their name. Gender non-conformity.
What I hadn’t grasped was that some activists weren’t just asking for tolerance. They were asserting that declaring yourself the opposite sex made you the opposite sex. Not metaphorically. Literally.
And that this wasn’t just cultural. It had legal consequences.
- It meant men who said they were women were demanding access to women’s sports, prisons, domestic violence shelters and hospital wards
- It meant the rewriting of healthcare language - “pregnant people”, “bodies with cervixes” - to avoid saying “women”
- It meant children struggling with identity being affirmed onto medical pathways with lifelong implications
And also redefining same-sex attraction. Lesbians called 'bigoted' for not wanting relationships with men who identify as women. Gay men accused of prejudice for saying they're not attracted to female bodies. None of which made any sense.
But I'd also overlooked how far this had travelled - into HR policies, professional bodies, schools, political parties and public institutions.
And how easily disagreement was framed as cruelty. Speaking up felt risky - because others were being publicly humiliated for doing so.
None of this is abstract.
Because sex is the basis on which safeguarding works. On which data is collected. On which cancer screening programmes run. On which fair sport and single-sex spaces depend. It’s written into law - including the Equality Act - because material differences matter.
If sex becomes a 'feeling' rather than a biological category, those protections become unstable.
And once reality becomes negotiable, everything does.
Once I saw it, I couldn’t unsee it.
But I needed to be sure.
So I read. Books, research papers, policy documents. When I finally spoke publicly, there was backlash from all directions.
Many women thanked me - both quietly and publicly.
But some feminists criticised me for speaking too late.
Others were angry about a past interview I’d done with the parent of a transgender person, accusing me of promoting harm.
It takes courage to change your mind publicly.
It takes courage to speak when you know your reputation, friendships or livelihood may be on the line - when you know raising your voice could strain, or even end, relationships you value.
Once I understood what was at stake, staying silent was no longer an option. I lost my livelihood simply for saying I didn’t like the phrase “pregnant people”. That alone tells you something is deeply wrong. It shouldn’t be this way.
I will never judge any woman for when she finds her voice.
Because every voice adds value - whenever it is raised.
And I know how persuasive this ideology can be. I know how easily it bypassed me. And I know how much courage it takes to admit, publicly, that you got something wrong.
