'Activism' to either maintain or destroy the status quo has a long and varied pedigree. I examine what's been effective for the 'Gender Critical' movement so far and where we go from here.
Well, I just heard from a young new trans widow living in Terf Island, who was just told by the police that the physical assault and rape she reported her crossdressing ex committed (while an infant was in the home--she had to run outside barefoot with the baby) that the police came to her parents' place, where she now lives, to say they will not follow up with charges. She has physical evidence. If anyone over there has information on an attorney willing to take this case, this could be a big deal. She'd need security. In my data on 53 trans widows, fully 1/3 have been sexually assaulted, and I was counting this rape as the only one of 5 that was reported. She's at her wit's end, worrying about the next woman he assaults. uteheggengrasswidow.wordpress.com, contact form. Link
I've read several things you have written the only thing I would like to point out is many times you seem to come in with your arguments with bias. Sometimes taking a step back looking at all sides helps with better writing. I'm not referencing this story and not saying you are a bad writer in fact i'd say your very good just noticed it's easy to make it so type of writing the nose causes the tail.
"There was a man who sat each day looking out through a narrow vertical opening where a single board had been removed from a tall wooden fence. Each day a wild ass of the desert passed outside the fence and across the narrow opening—first the nose, then the head, the forelegs, the long brown back, the hindlegs, and lastly the tail. One day, the man leaped to his feet with the light of discovery in his eyes and he shouted for all who could hear him: “It is obvious! The nose causes the tail! -Frank Herbert, Heretics of Dune"

Thank-you for this piece. I wish I'd seen your "Space" and listened in, but Twitter is very hit and miss about surfacing things I'm interested in.
