I am very worried about those that will really struggle to distinguish between what their senses tell them about a person's sex, and the expectation of the person to be perceived as the sex they want to be perceived as. These people include: those with Autism spectrum disorders who already really struggle to get inline with societies rules of engagement; the elderly who largely don't have a clue about this subject and also already struggle to maintain community engagement; and children who are learning how to trust their senses who might then be told they are wrong and thus, in my opinion, decreasing their safety in the community. I strongly believe that making trans identified people a protected class and legislating around use of names and pronouns will not be inclusive at all. I think it will destabilise our communities by forcing most of us to ignore the innate safety mechanism of speculating on a person's sex for fear of breaking a law. It will further ostracise trans people when the general public decide to stop interacting with them at all, due to this
The solution is simple - avoid pronouns altogether. Instead of saying 'his' or 'her', say 'Jane's or 'John's'. The only thing left to the zealots would be to outlaw this by resorting to compelling the use of pronouns. I for one would be prepared to go to prison for refusing to use such compelled speech. The last use of compelled speech was the mandatory greeting and goodbye of 'Heil Hitler'
People living as the opposite sex are living in their own false belief system. They are ostracising themselves by insisting that others lie about reality.
I will go to prison rather than call my female daughter a male.
How is it possible that anyone doesn't recognize the oversized interest the government takes in legislation that almost exclusively favors a small percentage of fetishy men who want to invade women's spaces? And that kids are being harmed along the way? It is impossible not to recognize that this is tied to the pharmaceutical industry and financial gain for all involved with a hefty dose of misogyny thrown in. Anyone denying it is lying to themselves.
The British parliament at least has a much looser tradition of crossing the floor than Aus & NZ so MPs like Rosie Duffield can at least raise a stink. At least Kiwis have a few years respite from the conservative govt just getting elected. I thought making it illegal to state the truth was one of the final hard walls this movement would butt up against. Its worth following events in Germany - they have already passed such laws.
Her own Party has ostracised Rosie so she hasn’t got much influence and Labour has such a huge majority that they can do what they like. Starmer originally promised Self ID and only modified it slightly when he saw what happened in Scotland. I don’t think truth is much of a barrier to brainwashed ideologues unfortunately.
Large majorities have historically allowed rebel MPs far more room to manoeuvre. Starmer seems to have tamped down his trans-enthusiasm although it was probably for electoral reasons.

understandable fear.
Very good!

I would also use "this individual" in lieu of using wrong-sex pronouns.
I'll call giant manslab trannys he/him/man all day every day. I don't give a fuck about the law. 'It is our duty to disobey unjust laws.'
Plod can do one.

Soon to be coming to the UK under our new commissars.
