Have we reached peak trans madness? Sorry, but no
by Ann Farmer, The Conservative Woman:
A 54-year-old British transgender woman, Kristina Jayne Harrison, has supported the notion that there are two sexes.
Harrison was giving evidence at an employment tribunal deliberating upon the sacking of tax expert Maya Forstater from her job at an American charity, the Centre for Global Development. She had insisted on Twitter that sex is a biological fact that cannot be changed.
This is an important case in the United Kingdom – a test of whether having “gender critical” beliefs, the view that sex is an immutable biological fact, is a protected philosophical belief under the Equality Act 2010.
Harrison asserted that many transgender people are unable to disagree publicly because they will be “ostracised and shunned”.
“It is also fair to say that there are another minority of trans people who agree with me that the terms biological male and biological female are accurate terms but are afraid to speak out because not only is there an extremely toxic debate on Twitter where they are being attacked from both sides, but also, within our community, the idea around gender identity is very intolerant of any dissent”.
Born biologically male, Harrison has lived as a transgender woman for two decades. But because she is “gender critical”, she has been labelled a “Nazi facilitator” and “scum”. She still maintains that biology cannot change.
‘“The process of having surgery or hormone treatment cannot ultimately transform your sex … Every cell in my body has male chromosomes. I have a prostate. These things cannot be completely deconstructed. It is not possible to be biologically female.”
In her witness statement, Harrison said that attempts to “legally coerce society” into treating males as females in all circumstances are doomed to fail. “As Churchill once said, ‘The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is’,” she added.
