Another word or words for spectrums is ‘wide variations’.

When people, particularly professionals talk about Spectrums they do so about facts. Take for instance Autism.

Autism is a recognised illness, a fact, and where austitic people are on the spectrum or ladder varies from mild symptoms to severe. It is the same with Mental Health which can range from mild depression to suicidal.

In Scotland at the moment there is much discussion about the so called Gender spectrum. There are those that are trying to change the word ‘sex’ for ‘gender’.

Gender however is not a fact as sex is.

Gender is an ideology and yes it has its own range of characteristics, but these are mainly about language where nouns are assigned to different categories.

Gender is something that has been socially constructed.

In law, gender characteristics do not replace sex and therefore cannot usurp sex based rights for women.

A man or woman for that fact can choose to call themselves any sex, they can even dress as so but that does not mean they are legally so in all matters. They may even have a transitioning certificate which may give them some protections, and rightly so but scientifically and medically they remain the sex they were born with.

Trans people have been around for many decades so why all of a sudden have they come to the forefront? If you cared to have a discussion with a trans person you would find the answer to that question is the same as many other group these days. The answer is Activists!

Activists come in two groups, those who genuinely have a grievance about something and want to bring it to everyone’s attention by peaceful means and those who have a chip on their shoulder or have another agenda altogether. The latter can be very dangerous angry people.

As far as some Trans activists are concerned you can also tell who they are by their hatred towards women. The question I have to ask is, why are some transwomen, who say they want to be a woman hate women so much? To me, the two don’t colerate which in turn makes me very suspicious about their agenda.
