Children love fairy stories, but reframing thieves and alleged sexual deviants as those fairies is grotesque
Since the recent Supreme Court judgement ensured very simply that woman in the Equality Act was understood to mean “biological sex” and a “biological female” the trans sympathy machine has been working serious overtime.
The outpouring of grief from “gender identity” supporters, at a simple clarification of the precise meaning of a woman’s sex has verged on collective narcissistic collapse, with declarations of impending genocide and mass suicide. Alongside their declarations of total despair have been physical demonstrations of rage, violence and destruction of public property which seem much at odds with any professed vulnerability.
The prevailing narrative still held aloft like a torch by mainstream media outlets has been one of evil women, supported by a corrupt justice system wielding cruel power over a weak and vulnerable population of men.
I was contacted this week by a woman in Hunter’s Bar, Sheffield to express her outrage at the window display of Rhyme And Reason, a small independent children’s bookshop there, which sits opposite a primary school and a large park. The retail footfall includes hundreds of small children a day. The display in question is full of pink and blue “trans” bunting and books promoting gender identity ideology to children, such as “The Pronoun Book” and “Being a Super Trans Ally”. It is a political statement at a crucial political time, which is of course the right of any retailer, however unwise or unattractive to their customer base.
However, prominently displayed, was a list of 23 names of men under the heading, “The middle chain is to remember just some of the people in the UK who have been murdered for being transgender”.
