I’ve been on loads of demonstrations over the years, sometimes as a participant and at other times an observer or recorder of events for the Press. In that time I’ve seen many groups create publicity stunts to garner attention and these have either been effective and have made a valid point or which have failed dismally because they have annoyed the very people that groups need to get onside or just looked totally and utterly mad.
A good example of a type of publicity stunt that will end up costing a cause dear is the monstrous madness that recently occurred outside of the offices of the Equality and Human Rights Commission. A group of trans activists decided that the best way to promote their cause was to put dozens of bottles of human urine outside the offices of the EHRC and have one demented tranny urinate on themselves, whilst wearing a sheer gown that showed that the demonstrator was obviously male, before pouring another bottle of urine over themselves. They were protesting over not being allowed access to the toilets of their choice and over the EHRC’s decision to state that sex segregated toilets along with changing rooms were essential in order to protect women. The self indulgent trannies were also miffed at the EHRC’s concerns addressed to the Scottish Government about the problems caused by Gender Self ID.
I can’t see how pouring piss over oneself can help a cause, especially a cause such as gender ideology that is increasingly being challenged by ordinary members of the British public who hitherto were quite tolerant towards genuine transsexuals. This protest, as Jo Bartosch points out in her piece for Spiked magazine, doesn’t help those with mental illnesses that represent themselves as gender identity conditions but expose for all of us to see the utter madness of much of the gender identity cult. She said: “The activists of Pissed Off Trannies have done their opponents a huge favour. No one sane could look at the image of a man wearing a balaclava and urine-drenched ballgown and think: ‘Yes, that is exactly the kind of person who should be let into the ladies’ lavatory along with little girls.’ Indeed, most tolerant people would be prepared to accept that such performances have a place on niche fetish websites – but not in women’s changing rooms, toilets or hospital wards.“ By drenching themselves in piss these trans activists have shown us quite clearly why many of us have come to disagree with much of what the gender identity cult is all about.
During my time in London I saw numerous demonstrations reported in the papers and on TV that looked well attended. In reality often there we only at most a few dozen present and they were usually ignored by everyone. Sounds like this was just such another and probably highlights the folly of abolishing our secure mental hospitals.
So where are trans people supposed to go to the toilet? What policing could be required for anyone using restrooms to offer their birth certificate or GRC certificate for scrutiny? I appreciate there are conservatives who want to regard most transexuals as mentally ill and therefore deserving no rights. I also have to add what a poor outcome we have in the UK for people with real mental health problems.
I’ve recently visited the William Wordsworth museum in the Lake District. The toilets there are all seperate, each one a self contained room with toilet, wash basin and roller towel, all unisex. It would depend on what the existing arrangements are like but I don’t think that it would be an insurmountable problem to move to this kind of arrangement in the future.
