You wouldn't call it 'race views'. You'd call it racism.

So it's unclear to me why we are calling this 'gender views', instead of transphobia.

It really annoys me how trans men are so often talked about in terms like 'vulnerable', 'impressionable', 'young' or 'mentally fragile', and usually as 'girls'.

Infantilising us and implying that we are incapable of exercising autonomy and agency is not feminism, but patriarchy.

'I'm fine with trans ppl like you, but not weirdos or trans kids'

I may not have come out until I was 17, but I was a trans kid, and if I'd had the vocabulary to articulate that, and if my parents had the knowledge and resources to support me, my childhood would have been easier

This will kill people. Children will be left homeless. Local authorities are already unable and unwilling to house those who are ejected from the private rental sector who are disproportionately disabled, single mother, and racial minorities. Seems pretty fucking antisocial to me

England is not a safe place for LGBT+ people, especially trans people. Out of step and out of time. The world moves on, leaving us behind.

Nicola Sturgeon's core point from today's Q&A, on the trans prisons row - 'there is no other group in society where we accept that the actions of an individual somehow forms a justification for taking away rights from the whole group, or not according rights to that group'
