Does any shipmate know anything about this nonsense?
Ugh!!!!!
They seem to be an extremely nasty far-right group based in Spain - I think I might need to break that link as spoilering it still means we're linking to a far- right campaign
I trust there are no problems with this link. To put my own distresswith this lady in context, my daughter has just come out as gay and our middle grandaughter's long term partner is a lovely creative person who is transgender. And suffers for this.
Lord, have mercy.
So you're not supposed to challenge anyone based on their appearance unless your 'concerns' are 'legitimate'? Dear God. Here come the gender police. 🤬😭😱

No doubt based on the concept of the “reasonable man”!
This is horrible for trans folk and will result, among other things, in violent men barging into toilets because they think they've clocked someone trans going into the ladies loos.
And this happened under a Labour government! And Scotland and Wales which were offered this kind of hate by Tories, Labour and Reform and just rejected it at our elections cant legislate to stop it.
Coverage from trans writers tends to take a while to come out because they're generally with overstretched and shoestring funded organisations, but here's TransActual's current statement.
The newly published EHRC Code of Practice leaves trans people in the UK today with less rights than they had prior to last year’s Supreme Court ruling.
Not only does this new guidance fail to protect the rights and dignity of transgender people, but appears to have weakened protections for the LGBTQ+ community as a whole. Rather than engage with our community with respect, the Government has instead withheld publishing its new Code of Practice until as late as possible.
TransActual will continue to fight for equal access to public life for all trans people, and will publish our full thoughts on the new Code once we have had the time to properly scrutinise it – something that the Government seems keen to avoid
( There was no shortage of stuff from well-funded hate organisations and their fellow travellers- which tells its own story)
As a trans person I think that disobeying the guidance where possible is important - I do think that some trans people have shot themselves in the foot by obeying in advance. I don't mean that as a criticism - especially with autistic people I understand the impulse to follow the rules - but civil disobedience is an important part of resistance. Organisations like churches and schools etc refusing to bar trans people from their correct bathrooms etc are part of that resistance too. You don't fight back by laying down and obeying.
