I never doubted that British #transphobes were primarily driven by a desire to control the lives of #trans people. Exploiting the fears of cis women was only a means to that end.

But it's helpful to see it confirmed here in writing by Sex Matters, along with other anti-trans #astroTERFs. Their pitch to Wes Streeting is simple: the #UKSC has made trans lives unliveable, so you should ensure that they are not lived.

@2legged It just goes to show, getting the establishment to do somersaults to appease them doesn't stop them. If lilly-livered Starmer thought toilet segregation and pretended 'clarity' would close down these people he couldn't have been more wrong. Still, he's quite relaxed with genocide.

@christineburns I initially thought that Wes Streeting and #Starmer were appeasing the #astroTERFs. Much as that revolts me, I could see the strategic temptation. But we are now way beyond that.

As soon as he took office, WS went ultraTERF on puberty blockers. Mahmoud has gone ultraTERF on the UKSC ruling.

This looks to me way beyond appeasement. If its not ideological conversion, it's a zealous attempt to overtake the #christofascists and #astroTERFs ... which of course is impossible

@2legged It's a bit like trying to out Reform Reform. Yet they try.
