It’s now been 4 years since the Gender Autonomy Act passed in Iceland. Since then, none of the ‘concerns’ against trans inclusion have manifested, and trans people have enjoyed self-determination and access to gendered spaces in line with their gender identity without issue.

This nonsense about vaginoplasty creating an ‘open wound’ is so silly. It’s a surgical procedure based on research and decades of experience. In what world do they live in if they think it doesn’t heal and function as intended? People just genuinely sound ridiculous.

The fact she believes they need to apologise to her personally for supporting trans people is incredibly telling of how she views herself. She has positioned herself as a victim, when it’s trans people who are truly suffering because of anti-trans sentiments like hers. Absurd.

Trans people use gendered spaces every single day with you, and have done so for as long as you’ve been alive. If you’ve suddenly become angry and upset about trans people existing in public spaces, you’ve been swept up by a moral panic meant to distact you from real issues.

Cisgender men don’t have to pretend to be women to abuse anyone. They already do every single day, and that has nothing to do with trans people. Trans inclusion is vital to making trans people safe, who also suffer violence at the hands of cisgender men at alarming rates.

If a straight man is perceived to be gay and attacked because of that, it would be a crime on the basis of homophobia. That’s how the law works, so of course this law applies to trans women where they are targeted for being seen as women. This is quite basic logic in law.

If a man threatens to rape a woman, he is unlikely to know if the victim is born a woman or a trans woman. That behaviour should logically be seen as misogynistic. Again, this aligns with existing legislation protecting people from abuse motivated by prejudice. This is not new.

Saying people can just come out as trans at 18, but must suppress who they are until that is cruelty. 18 years old is the age where you receive certain legal rights, not where you are legally allowed to express who you are. It’s wrong to conflate legality with who people are.

@LaurenWitzkeDE Ah yes, because we all know that all ballet dancers do ballet because they want to be seen as children - not because they love to dance.

This is the reality trans people face in the UK today and it’s absolutely and unequivocally unacceptable. The impact this long wait has on people’s physical and mental well-being is soul-destroying.

@AdiDee_Gee It bans any type of therapy aimed at changing or discouraging someone's identity, so that's included in the ban.

I would love to know how she plans on enforcing this, or why she believes people who come from abroad need a gender recognition certificate in the first place. I've already changed my birth certificate in Iceland, which is what the GRA allows you to do in the UK.

Another unworkable, unlawful and completely ridiculous proposal from this government. At this point it’s not even about realistic proposals, it’s about whipping up hate towards a minority in a desperate attempt to grab bigoted voters.

White, British, middle class feminists using the term “colonisation” unironically in the context of trans people’s identies is the epitome of white feminism. This whole binary view of gender is a result of colonisation by the British empire that was enforced upon other nations.

Gender critical people saying trans people are 'colonising womanhood' is without a doubt one of the most astoundingly disrespectful and privileged thing they could say. Entire countries and their culture, customs, language and essence have been colonised by their forebearers.

I'm so tired of anti-trans feminists saying that trans women claim that there is no difference between them and cis women. Everyone knows there is a difference, but that difference does not mean trans women are not women. How could that possibly be so difficult to understand?

This is a Prime Minister that has openly mocked trans women in his speeches, endorsed transphobia from his MPs and actively advocates for restricting or removing our rights and legal protections. The lack of awareness and respect is sickening.

This is like a parody. Abortion rights get taken away and who is to blame? Well of course not the far-right that’s campaigned for it for decades and that largely funds the gender critical movement — but instead those pesky trans people. How warped can your mind be by an ideology?

Gender criticals are now piling onto Samaritans, that literally save lives, simply because they point out the well-documented fact that trans people have high rates of attempted suicide. GCs are relentless and abhorrent bullies who will stop at nothing to abuse trans people.

@FTFDesert Research shows that trans people have higher rates of self-harm and suicide than cisgender people. One study found trans people were at twice the risk of suicide attempts compared to cisgender females and four times compared to cisgender males. (1/2)

By 'sometimes' she means 'when it doesn't hurt me'. Isn't it ironic how someone bases their whole grift on biological fundamentalism, only to become victim to it themselves? It's not like this wasn't entirely predictable. We told you. This is what you contributed to yourself.

The utter cruelty of @thetimes deadnaming a 16 year old girl after her death is beyond words. No respect for her dignity and privacy in a time of such horrendous loss for her family. It illustrates that the media continues to disrespect and trivialise who we are, even in death.

Loads of people on twitter are suddenly sharing this six year old photo of a trans man Mack Beggs pretending he’s a trans girl. Reality is that he was forced to compete with girls due to a transphobic policy. This is exactly what they are advocating for. A complete self-own.

An example of completely inaccurate, misleading and fear-mongering headline that has no bearing on reality. This is exactly what is wrong with the British media environment - where misinformation is pushed deliberately to demonise a minority without any shame or repercussion.

At the time, the law has been four years in the making - and once it got to parliament it was supported by all major feminist and human rights organisations in Iceland, as well as institutions such as the prison services, sports organisations and women’s shelters.

Cis is to trans what straight is to gay. They cannot exist without the other and they are simple descriptors. Not wanting to be called cis is a defensive reaction based in the fact that you've never had your gender identity pointed out or questioned. #CisIsNotASlur
