@jk_rowling Gender critical beliefs are just that, beliefs. Trans women have every right to exist as women in society regardless of how you feel or what you believe.

'He has a point, but he's too blunt.'

From the start, a key tactic of the gender identitarians has been linguistic prescription, and it's proved shockingly successful. Trans activists' shibboleths and euphemisms have been allowed to penetrate the upper echelons of our culture

Interesting interview with @Glinner on @GBNEWS a few minutes ago about the trans debate. It's interesting how the tide is turning in his favour.
I've seen old friends who shunned him admit he has a point but that he was too blunt. Even that would was unthinkable a few years ago

The statement engages in public discourse by addressing societal issues related to transgender rights and gender identity, specifically focusing on the rights of trans individuals and the debate over access to gender-specific spaces and sports.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement acknowledges the rights of trans-identified men to exist and have equal rights, which aligns with the principle of doing no harm. However, it also makes a categorical statement about their access to women's spaces, which could be seen as exclusionary and potentially harmful. [-1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement does not engage in direct harassment or hate speech, but the exclusionary language regarding access to women's spaces could be perceived as disrespectful to the dignity of trans individuals. [-1]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not promote understanding, empathy, or compassion towards trans individuals, as it focuses on exclusion rather than dialogue or compromise. [-1]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement does not engage in personal attacks but does not foster constructive dialogue or address the opposing viewpoint with empathy. [-1]
  5. Principle 7:
    I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.
    The statement exercises free speech but does so in a way that could be seen as lacking responsibility and integrity by not fully considering the impact of exclusionary language. [-1]
