2. “The current position cannot stand.”
He points to the fact that 84% of transgender people in the UK have contemplated suicide, and 50% have attempted it, statistics that have been throroughy debunked, and should never be used as emotional blackmail. It spreads unnecessary fear
3. among the very community he purports to represents, and is against guidelines issued by the Samaritans.

"If people are required to undergo a formal self-identification process, where they have done elsewhere in the world where that then led to those people
4. who have self-identified in a different gender to one into the biological sex they were born into. Has there been any threat from those people who so self identify? Has anything actually happened?”

Let's look at Ireland, shall we?
This person is clearly very disturbed, but
5. they will be put into a women's prison. And they are not the only case. But due to 'self ID' crimes committed by men must be recorded as women's crimes, so we are now kept in the dark https://twitter.com/STILLTish/status/1311298421534400512?s=20
6. Blunt goes on to say “You've had strident women's rights campaigners... who have provoked trans people to respond often in an angry and confrontational way, and that is unsurprising because this is a central assault on their identity,”
7. Oh Crispin, we have heard this so many times before, it is the language of abusers; 'she made me do it, it wasn't my fault, I was provoked.......'
And strident? I suspect he thinks we are hysterical as well, such emotional creatures us women. Probably shouldn't be politicians.
8. “People should be free to live their lives as they wish. And if someone takes a decision in their life in a particular way, it is not going to have an impact on the rest of society."
Well, this is just utter nonsense. If a man self IDs as a woman and enters women's spaces
9. and services, then of course it has an impact on the rest of society, particularly the female half of society. We suspect though that Blunt does not see women as fully human, and we should just sit down, shut up, and do what we are told.
Well, we have news for you:
10. We didn't, we spoke up, and we were heard, and thank goodness there are women in government like @trussliz who were willing to listen.
You keep stamping your feet Crispin, we will put ours to good use by leafleting every single home in your constituency if we have to.
11. Because every single voter deserves to know that you tried to sneak through a shady backroom deal to remove the rights of women and girls to safety, privacy, and dignity when they are undressed or vulnerable.
12. You may not care about the views of women, but they have fathers, brothers, husbands, and we will encourage them to keep asking you the Staniland question: do their teenage daughters have a right to penis-free spaces?
