the brilliantly leaping gazelle

It strikes me that there is a really simple way in which trans – or faux – women might easily regain the rights which they believe that the Supreme Court ruling has taken away from them. All they need do is to get a woman to transfer to them all the rights they have as woman over to them and bingo. Problem solved!

Because according to the twisted logic of trans activists, not only if you were a man but said you were a woman, but also got a piece of paper confirming your delusion – a Gender Recognition Certificate – then you were a woman. It reminds me of that Eddie Izzard sketch, the one in which he suggests that Britain only got her empire because of the cunning use of flags. ‘I claim India on behalf of Queen Victoria.’ ‘ You can’t do that, there are 500 million of us, we live here! ‘But do you have a flag?’ That’s all it took. A delusion, a piece of paper and of course, people validating that delusion. Although seeing as how some of those people would be only validating that delusion because they too share it, it’s not really a valid validation, is it?

But where might one find such staunch supporters of trans rights that they’d be willing to sign over their own rights? Well, a good starting point would’ve been at the demonstration yesterday in Parliament Square by those who think that the best way to get rights is to take them from someone else. Pushing at an open door there with that lot. I mean sure, fine, sign away your own personal rights, rights that are inherently unique to you, that’s your affair, but don’t trade away someone else’s rights in pursuit of some batshit crazy notion of equality. 

And if they still couldn’t find enough women willing to do that – improbable, I know given the amount of supportive press coverage they’ve had over the years – they might ring round those journalists who wrote those pieces to see if the support was still strong. And if there was still more waivers needed, they could try university campuses where ‘no platforming’ gender critical feminists – or rationalists – was a thing for so long. The University of Sussex might be a good place to start. Students there mounted a successful campaign to to to force rationalist Kathleen Stock out her job. It did however cost the University nearly £600,000 but that’s only a detail.

If more supporters were needed I’m sure members of the Labour government would be only too happy to oblige. Take Angela Rayner, for example, who said “Transgender women’s rights are women’s rights.”That was back in 2022, but its not like a politician would ever say something in order to be seen as ‘right thinking’. Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper, Anneliese Dodds and Lisa Nandy have also expressed some equally pandering nonsense. The Greens would only be too happy to sign on the dotted line, given how their 2024 election manifesto fully supported trans rights. With 4 MP’s and over 800 local councillors what better time to stand up for what they claim to stand for? And what about the Scottish Greens? They were so in favour of trans rights that they pulled out of a coalition with the SNP in Scotland, bringing down the Scottish government.  

I mean, I haven’t quite worked out all the details of how such a waiver would work in practice, but hey, all humans have rights, only some humans are more deserving of rights than others.
