o guarantee women a voice in politics, but recent years have seen a rise in men taking seats once set aside for women. Mr Wadhwa secured the position of manager at Forth Valley and Stirling Rape Crisis Centre by concealing his biological sex.
Gary Dunion, a political advisor to several Green Party leaders, claimed the amendment to allow rape victims to choose the sex of those providing their intimate exams “exists purely to terrorise trans people.”
Gregor Murray, a Local Councillor for the North East, Dundee City Council, who requests people “don’t use male pronouns” due to his penchant for lipstick, said the law “threw trans people under the bus,” and asked, “What’s next? I don’t feel safe in this country.”
“How is this about safety? How is this about feminism? […] Just come to my house and kill me – it’s quicker and you can get off,” a trans activist melodramatized after claiming to be “in tears, shaking over the new law.”
Urban farmer and trans activist Jo Edwards said of the amendment: “Hard to be anything but utterly disgusted and depressed by the sheer hate people have inside them. They have truly given up any good part of who they were with it.”
Something of an over-reaction, perhaps. But you have to remember that the suffering of rape victims is as nothing compared to the suffering of trans women denied validation.
Resisters United expressed bewilderment at transgender advocates’ reaction: “I kid you not – they are kicking off about not being able to examine rape victims. Twitter is full of screaming angry tweets about ‘their rights.’ Some are declaring not being able to examine a rape victim makes them ‘feel unsafe.’ How entitled can they get? Isn’t this the most clear woman hate?!”
