‘There are people who have opposed this bill that cloak themselves in women’s rights to make it acceptable. But just as they’re transphobic you’ll also find they are deeply misogynist, often homophobic, possibly some of them racist as well.’

"cloak themselves in women's rights" because no one could actually care about rapists being sent to prison with women, no no no, it's obvious they just hate trans people and probably black people and gay people too......... makes sense

We've gone so far the other way...that common sense has well and truly left the building. Today on Jeremy Vine ,they were still calling this rapist a "she" .

Do women stop being women if they commit crimes?

Of course women are still women ...which has nothing to do with this , why are you even comparing?.

We all know predators are exploiting this loophole , and if someone has been assaulted by a man....who still has male body parts ,why should we believe him ,when he conveniently becomes a woman after he's been convicted / arrested.

I'm not comparing anything, I'm pointing out that to some, transwomen are as female as biological women.

What worries me THE MOST about this statement is that those are not her words from her own deduction - I've heard those words before, we all have, we hear them constantly. These are prescribed, copy-paste, groupthinky words. I 100% genuinely respect well thought out differences of opinions and opposing viewpoints but this generic stuff, I just can't stand it at the best of times, and when it's coming out of the mouthes of people in power it's even worse.
