Read this thread, with some attention to what I said, and weep.https://twitter.com/_ClairQuentin/status/1063399259444264962 …

Wait, what? You acknowledge that the debate is 'painful' and that there can't be a hierarchy of rights, the best we can do is a process. Am I missing something? I can't see atm how that is 'transphobic'?

You have to have real difficulty hearing or valuing the opinions of those, often CIS women, who feel threatened by the nature or tenor of how some put the case for trans rights to be unable to acknowledge that what I said is true.

You have already been asked, but can I request again that you refrain from using ‘cis’. To accept ‘cis’ requires a belief in a ‘gender identity’, for which there is no proof. It is very offensive to most women.

If you're asking me to indicate by my choice of language that only those born women are women I can't do that. If your objection is something else I would say that to participate in the debate I either need to use "cis" or some other word to refer to women who are born women.
