Quite a few people have asked why someone who acknowledges …

I have been attacked by every direction for obtaining one including "trans" people who don't qualify.

As flawed as the GRC is it is the only system we have. I am not responsible for the fact it needs reform.

2/?

Of course I am biologically male. That will never change. That doesn't mean that in the eyes of society I am not perceived as having a GENDER of female. It doesn't mean I am not treated differently (often negatively) for rejecting masculinity.

3/?

Just because I acknowledge my biological sex doesn't mean I should be forced into a box that defines how a male should act.

I use male spaces not because I want to but because I know women can't tell the difference between a TS and an opportunist.

4/?

I do not want to be male. I desperately wish I wasn't every day but I dont deny biological reality. That doesn't mean I am no different to any other male. I cannot deny or reject my transsexualism.

It is in being transsexual that I gained understanding of womens issues.

5/?

And it is with that understanding I was able to use my experiences to highlight the dangers of modern ideology.

I am not going to therefore pretend to be an average man.

6/?

Having a GRC was about differentiation. It is easier to speak out with a GRC than without because those I stand against have not qualified for one.

I have one legal issue at the minute where I refused to acknowledge self ID.

7/?

The organisations policy is that all trans are equal and cross dressing is just as valid as transsexual. A GRC was always intended to be a differentiator to disprove that and in arguing the point the inevitable response is "Well you don't have one".

8/?

I have already used my experiences in obtaining a GRC to debunk much of the nonsense claims about the process. Truth is people aren't listened to unless they have done and experienced something.

9/?

If you want an ally that understands the issues first hand because I am transsexual that is me. If you want an ally who is simply your average man that is not me.
You do not get to chose my allyship then reject my transsexualism. I will not stop wearing make up for example.

10/?

I was not part of this problem. I am prepared to be part of the solution.

If your issue is with self ID, the threats to womens safety, the dangers to children, trans in sports then I will stand with you.

If your aim is to argue "men are men" and stereotypes me into a box
11/?

then I am not the person you should be following.

I do not demand pronouns and never will. I do not state them. It is to the individual to decide for themselves.
That position doesn't mean its appropriate to write long sentences refererring to he/him/his because it hurts.

12/?

I have no reason to be on Twitter other than offer my support. I get attacked from everywhere and insulted daily. I could easily fade into the background and pretend this issue didn't exist but I dont.

I could have easily declared myself female and vast portions of

13/?

Twitter would have daily validated me as stunning and brave.

I didn't do that.

I stood virtually alone (hence handle) to make a difference but I stand as a transsexual not as a man (gender).

If you cannot accept that I am transsexual then block me.

14/?

I will not see women and children hurt by this ideology but I will also not sacrifice myself and deny who I am.

Dozens have unfollowed me in the past 24 hours and thats upsetting but if I need to loose 99% of my followers so be it.

15/?

I stand for women. I stand for non affirmative medicalisation of transsexualism. I do not stand for men.

I leave it to you to choose.
If you need me to deny my transsexualism then unfollow.
