The other day, I was asking my grandmother about her childhood. That got me thinking - what will MY future grandchildren say when I tell them about my childhood? Thread about how I imagine this will go:

Future Grandchild (FG): What was life like when you were young?
Me: Well… misogyny was celebrated, stereotypes encouraged & healthy kids embarked on lifelong medical nightmares.
FG: What? Did that actually happen?
Me: Oh, believe me, it did.

FG: How?
Me: There were these men who wore dresses, liked pink and did other stereotypical feminine things. They decided they were ACTUALLY women.
FG: You’re joking!
Me: I’m not!

Over the last few years, along with the TWAW chant, trans rights extremists have said some pretty ridiculous things! Here are some of the craziest:

“Gender neutral toilets are fine. We all have them in our own homes!”
I mean, who amongst us hasn’t encountered an unknown male in our private toilet?! What a winning argument! (And they still make it. All. The. Time.🤦♀️)

“Nobody can tell a transwoman from a biological woman.”
Nope. Far too difficult. There is absolutely no way that I can spot the TIM here!

A short thread🧵 on why #NoToSelfID is important right now. @scotgov want to reform the Gender Recognition Act #GRA & remove the need for a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria. To a process where people can self declare the gender they wish to live as This is Self ID /1
Self-ID allows individuals to declare themselves to be something they are not. They use the word ‘gender’, which is not adequately defined for individuals to declare whether they are a man or a woman and a boy or a girl /2
Implications for women & girls are:
👉Self ID allows any man to say he's a woman & be treated on a female hospital ward
👉Self ID allows any man to say he's a woman & play in women's sports
👉Self ID allows any man to say he's a woman & enter a rape crisis centre

Over the coming days, alongside the consultation, we have a series of questions & comments in graphics to use to highlight to our politicians that this needs to be addressed. /3
NO! to Self-ID - short🧵
WRN opposes Self-ID in Scotland.
If it succeeds, it will mean Self-ID throughout the UK by extension.
BUT WE CAN STOP IT.

For the Bill to become law, Scottish Ministers have to ask the UK Government to grant permission that a Scottish GRC is recognised outside of Scotland.
The UK Government can refuse this.
Tell the Government they must say NO! to Self-ID.

2/9 The teacher taking the class has been trying to make my life rather difficult since I started asking questions and raising the issue of women’s rights. I suspect he is a men’s rights activist and quite possibly a misogynist too.
