I am very late to the party but the guardian's view on the #GenderRecognitionAct is so problematic on so many levels.https://amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/oct/17/the-guardian-view-on-the-gender-recognition-act-where-rights-collide?__twitter_impression=true …
And this is generally my problem with terfs, aside from the horror of transphobia they completely fail to understand the real threats women genuinely face.

In the UK 78% (!!!!!) of women who are killed are killed by their partner or ex. So to all straight women, take a good long look at the person in your bed because if you get killed there is 8 out 10 chance he will be the murderer.

But sure, in that context, do tell me about the threat that trans women represent, that's a cool story

Also if anyone thinks people would just pretend to be women for the fun of it you clearly have missed the news about how horrendous our society makes it to be a woman. And you clearly have no idea how even more difficult being a trans person is. [/end]
