There’s nothing shameful about having a disability. I’m autistic and have used the disabled toilet in times when my anxiety was really bad.
I have a transgender friend who said it was basically a disability, wouldn’t use the term “mental illness” as that’s quite derogatory, but gender dysphoria isn’t nice to live with from what I hear.

I don’t think transgender people are plentiful enough that disabled facilities will be overwhelmed

May be a bit more expensive to do that, but I have been places where this is the case

I don’t really know what would change whenever you say “women” in the equality act refers to biological. Isn’t it already against the act to discriminate against someone for being trans anyway?
- Comment on EHRC commissioner calls for trans people to accept reduced rights 1 week ago:
Can’t this be solved by requesting that trans people use the disabled bathroom? And maybe mandating that a gender neutral bathroom be made available (can also double as a disabled one)

I don’t think they do. Probably just go for a popular opinion

Wouldn’t it be better to call it “CORRIE NATION” instead of platty joobs.
Jokes aside though, you can be pro EU and pro Monarchy

- Comment on Autistic Children Are Not Collateral Damage: How Many More In The Name Of Ideology? 2 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t say that all gender-affirming treatments would be on the wrong side of history. But I don’t think such a thing should be given lightly. When I was younger I felt like I was different. At one point I was also led to believe that I wasn’t a male. Turns out I just have autism. What also didn’t help is that you’re told “you can’t do xyz, you’re a boy!” I couldn’t be caring about animals, I couldn’t play with my sister’s toys, etc. Then I see a world where transgender people give an account on them feeling different and the only education I received about autism was moreso showing someone with low functioning autism- and that wasn’t even from official education systems, but my own Church trying to raise awareness. Good on them though for trying to teach us about it, albeit flawed, much better than what the schools did.
I don’t think there’s no such thing as transgender people- I just think that society has handled raising awareness of it poorly and some children may transition to “fit in”, especially into online communities. Which is relatively harmless, provided medicine isn’t provided to those who aren’t old enough to make a decision.

Interesting read. Thank you for sharing
- Comment on If not intentially a minority and I get into a fight and I did not know they were gay, palestinian, jewish, or whatever. Can I still be charged with a hate crime? Or does one have to know first? 2 weeks ago:
If you get into a fight with someone and don’t know they are gay, palestinian or jewish, then it shouldn’t be possible to commit a hate crime in that scenario unless if it’s based on something else that you do know

I have noticed such a pattern, but be careful of pushing a narrative that all trans people are dangerous.
OP has a weird obsession of posting about it, it’s as bad as this guy.
