It’s never enough

The Scottish Government has published new guidance about segregating school toilets, which means trans kids will be prevented from using the toilets appropriate to their gender. Is that enough for the transphobes? Of course it isn’t. The Scotsman quotes Maya Forstater of anti-trans hate group Sex Matters, for whom segregating trans children doesn’t go far enough.

The policy “still suggests that a pupil might be able to go through their school career pretending to be the opposite sex without ever being ‘outed’ – that is, recognised as the sex they actually are.” Allowing trans kids to use other toilets, or at different times from other children, “will only worsen the child’s dissociation from the unchangeable physical reality of their sex.”

They’re not even trying to hide it any more: it was never about protecting women and girls. They want trans people eliminated from society, and intend to do so by making trans people’s lives unliveable.
