I have used the women's toilets every day of my life for YEARS
Today, in the middle of a global pandemic, on #TransDayOfVisibility
, there are people trying to take away my freedom and my life for NOTHING

They will try and rephrase what they want to make it sound more palatable, they'll deflect to avoid it, but if you just insist on them answering the question "Do you want to to take away the right trans women have today to use the women's toilets?" the answer is yes
They'll try and show you horror stories and they'll talk about all kinds of hypothetical scenarios, but the reality is that every trans woman in the country - tens of thousands of us - use the women's every single day, and all their scaremongering about what might happen, hasn't
If they do this there WILL be demonstrable suffering. It will ruin people's lives. That's not debatable, that's a fact, a measurable human cost. And what are they offering as the justification? A hypothetical scenario with no evidence and a lot of counter evidence? Fuck off
