Self-ID and Section 28


Trans zealots keep trying to compare people who reject  self-ID with supporters of Section 28 - an absurd, unpopular policy from the Thatcher era (1988) which claimed to be clamping down on the 'promotion' of homosexuality by local councils. 

But the comparison is bogus - complete baloney.

I know because throughout the 1980s and 1990s I was a full-time trade union official - first with NUPE in London and latterly with Unison where I was the union's Head of Local Government and chief negotiator in Scotland until 1999.

Section 28 was an attack on gay rights - the policy was fiercely resisted by the trade union movement and rightly so.

Whereas self-ID is about men who say they are women trying to invade women's single sex spaces - in sport, changing areas, hospital wards, prisons, women's refuges, rest rooms and so on.

Self-ID is a counter culture movement which has spread rapidly in the age of the internet, as many things do.

In essence, self-ID is an anti-women, anti-science, anti-reason belief system which would - if it could - force non-believers to accept that men can magically declare themselves to be women, just by the power of their imaginations.

Which is why self-ID is baloney in its own right and has nothing in common with Section 28.

"First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
