I'm going to talk about security and the precautions I and many others take, in order to be safe online. I'm doing this, simply as a reference, even if just an isolated story, in order to demonstrate the reality of how transgender activism impacts on people.
Early last year, I lost my job because I was deemed to have done something 'unacceptable' online.
I'm not going to explain what exactly I did/said, but I will make it clear what I didn't do...

I didn't abuse anyone, slag them off, bully them, incite violence or harass; I didn't denigrate their 'identity', nor did I lie about them.
I concurred with someone that too much care had been taken for someone's appearance and laughed.

As this unfolded, on Facebook...screenshots were taken, edited and doctored to concoct an 'alternative' story and BOOM! A narrative was born.
Within 24 hours of this occurring, I was hauled into see HR due to a sudden influx of complaints about my 'conduct' and there began a lengthy process, by which I was finally ditched by my employer and to this day, I'm still struggling to revive my career.
On Facebook, a mole had seemingly gone into a private post on a friend's profile with the express purpose of catching someone out. That someone, on that occasion, was me.
They hunted me down, found me and 'dutifully' orchestrated and arranged a mass complaint to my employer. It became very apparent to me, that this was systematic and well rehearsed.
I know I am not alone in being hunted down like this. I have seen many stories where others have experienced much worse than I have. So what do I have to do now to keep myself safe?
I have set it so I can't receive friend requests from those I don't share 'mutuals' with. Even then, it's hard because quite often, when I do get a friend request, we often share many mutuals.
We all have circles of friends, linked to family, work and in some cases, our 'thing'. In my case, my thing is the 'gender' issue. Problem is...the gender issue is incredibly contentious and there are a lot of shadowy figures out there.
So I check and check and check again. I work out whether I've seen the name before. I look at their activities, if possible. I am careful about what I say and where. I have to bear in mind my friends' posts and who their friends are.
I have to exercise plenty of caution. I take care about what I post here on Twitter, about how I respond to people and how I behave, but try hard not to sacrifice truth in the process.
I have tried to take steps to protect my activities and being tracked down to a workplace. Why? Not because I plan on doing something wrong, but because there is always the threat, to me and (indirectly) my family.
I am mindful of what I say to who and when and where I am saying things. Again...why? Because there remains a threat. Anyone who knows me, knows I am not an evil bigot, nor do I have a tendency to be nasty towards others.
I exercise caution at every opportunity. I feel it's excessive, but I need to protect myself and my family.
Are you getting the point yet? If not, let me finish off with this...
Are you getting the point yet? If not, let me finish off with this...
The kind of activism that strikes fear into people, fear of losing their job, their income, their career and livelihoods, respect and security...is a very bad sign. It's a sign that it is just another form of fascism.
The actions these transgender activists take are extreme and dirty. That movement is not about 'rights', it's about power and control.
We hear so frequently about how powerless & harassed transgender people are. How they are the 'most bullied' and 'victimised' & yet I was sacked for the slightest infringement. Despite this, I have seen activists shout, "suck my lady cock" to the rapturous applause of the left.
And still, it's a fight, to get such figures to be called out for such behaviour, let alone disciplined for it.
This movement wield so much power, it's unnerving. How in such a short period of time, they have gained such a stronghold of various organisations.

This transgender movement does not represent the 'rights' of a minority, but rather the desired supremacy of the patriarchy.
It needs to be stopped. Now.

So, the next time some smug activist, from the comfort of their armchair, laughs at you for not using your real name on your profile and of being a 'coward', just remind them why it is.
Remind them of the power imbalance.
Patriarchy sucks and needs bringing down, pronto!
