Almost every possible combination of “sex characteristics” has been seen “in the wild”.

Many people would be surprised if they knew their genotype / phenotype combo. 🤷

“things go wrong in utero” is framing completely natural diversity as “broken”.

Humans are not even close to a binary, there is more natural diversity amongst people AMAB, than between than differences between “the sexes”.

We are also one of least sexually dimorphic primates. 🤷

I didn't say it was. 🤷

He doesn't appear to have had any medical intervention because he is shown in pictures as very small & effeminate.

And yet he was accepted as the man he attested to be, gaining all the privileges that entailed, which were quite a lot. 🤷

Barry (probably) didn’t use any medical intervention (as far as I know), but other trans people did.

Pregnant horse urine was used as a source for oestrogen for hundreds or even thousands of years, used by midwives & likely trans women. 🤷

Shouldn't they be confiscating her valuables? 🤷

The point the previous poster makes:

It's also inherently homophobic too:

"Historically speaking, any legal rights and duties that were so called sex based, we're really gender based"

He literally got his "Sex based rights" by presenting as a man.

But without any sort of medical intervention it was just his gender. 🤷

The old "Gay man pretending to be a woman to trick straight men into bed" may have been morphed into "Man pretending to be a woman to access 'women's spaces'", but is still there in the background. 🤷

His whole shtick is both misogynist & homophobic (& transphobic obvs.)

Transphobia is the intersection of misogyny & homophobia.

The whole "trans the gay away" requires "pray the gay away" as a starting point, & both imply "not gay" is the desired outcome. 🤷

Fuck Dr Money - his fraudulent research convinced people that gender was the product of socialisation (A fundamental part of the antiGACs mythology.)

"I'm an apologists & enabler for the trans genocide, but I'm the real victim here. " 🤷

This ^^^

Similarly: Cis people do not give half a shit about women's sports until trans people get involved, then suddenly they transform into God's Greatest Advocate for Womens' Concerns... for this one specific issue, regardless of what the actual women involved feel.

‘Treat us fairly’: skilled workers face having their dream of settling in UK snatched away As government mulls doubling requirement to 10 years, the uncertainty is putting many who came to Britain to work under strain

Labour's decision to retroactively double the baseline qualifying period for indefinite leave to remain to 10 years is cruel and entirely unjustified. Why do it?

We need immigrants for our public services and future economic success. We should be welcoming them.

To frame equality through the concept of discrimination—as UK and Canadian legislation does—is an acknowledgment that people are unduly treated in unequal ways not because they are less qualified or justifiably unsuited for a service or position but because their identity is stereotyped that way.

Fun to remind people that before Colin made a name for himself as a anti-trans bigot on Twitter, he was an *architecture student*. 🤷

The right not to be discriminated against on the basis of sex is quite literally the negation of a "sex-based right" lol

James Barry (surgeon) - Wikipedia

My favourite example of this in the past:

Dr James Barry (1789 - 1865) - a trans man who trained & worked as a Dr his whole life (Only men allowed) rising to Inspector General.

It is unlikely that he took any sort of HRT, so his career was entirely based on presentation.
(So gender *not* sex.)

* They have, but they are going to pretend they didn’t, & leave it for someone else to clean up. 🤷😡

Labour quoting Hannah Spencer's victory speech.

As a white South African immigrant who literally came to take your jobs (😂), I get a depressing level of Deja Vu.

We've done this sh*t, can we not. 🤷😡

Most Reform members believe non-white UK citizens born abroad should be forced or encouraged to leave, poll finds Nigel Farage’s attempts to appeal to centre-ground voters may cause tension in his party, according to Hope Not Hate

This party is considered credible opposition.

Well Christians are executing them in the street on camera, so… 🤷

Black socialist *Palestinian* Jew. 🤷👍

Given Labour are to the right of Reform, not hard. 🤷

+/- 3*years*. 😀

When pronouns are used as a dogwhistle it stops being a matter of linguistics. 🤷

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

Even if he did they'd probably lynch him. 🤷

(Assuming he didn't return to Palestine, which is where he was supposedly from. 🤷)
