I am living in my 77th year and during nearly all of that Transgender people have been around. No one bothered, they lived their lives we all lived ours harmoniously side by side.

So what has changed?

The activists came out and wanted much much more, to the point where even their own kind have been ostracized and not only them. The LGB have been targeted. The thinking being if your not with us your against us. There is no middle ground.

There are activists and there are activists in every organization that wants change. They range from those who cause mild disruption and those prepared to engage in hate and violence.

A few days ago I watched a video of what should have been a peaceful demonstration from the ‘Women won’t wheest’ organisation outside Holyrood in the summer. Across the road separated by the Police where a group of very angry Transwomen making waves. They were angry, abusive and menacing.

I have given much thought to those pictures and asked myself why do some Transwomen act so violently towards other women?

Their behaviour mirrored that of angry, abusive males, there was nothing Lady like about it, testosterone was oozing out of every pore! Nothing like the behaviour of the kind of Transwomen I have seen in my lifetime.

No, this was a different kind of Transwoman, the kind that says ‘I want and I shall have’

The kind that demands access to Women’s Safe Spaces, dare I say why?

No respect for how biological women feel.

The Scottish Legislation has not even been ratified yet, but some businesses have jumped the gun allowing Transwomen into Ladies toilets and changing rooms. These shops haven’t even bothered changing the signage, meaning that many Ladies and girls still believe they are entering Safe Spaces, only some are not and already the consequences of this have been catastrophic.

These stores are actually breaking current Laws, both UK and European.

So what has changed? The angry Activists now control the agenda which has backfired on the ordinary Transperson who does not want this. They have been dragged down to the Activist’s level and have suddenly found everybody sees them as the enemy.

It’s a mess, a bloody mess brought about by bad Law and a Government held to ransom.

But we have hope, even if we have to depend on Westminster for that hope but in the meantime, we must keep up the fight by presenting the truth, the science, the biology..facts that cannot be disputed.

Knowledge is power and many women in Scotland are in need of that knowledge.
