Transgender ApartheidManchester, England. It seemed reasonable at first. A Gender Recognition Act to give you a new birth certificate, the right to marry someone of the opposite sex and legal protection to stop someone revealing your former status.

That’s what the European Court of Human Rights ordered the UK Government to provide but enter the unholy alliance of the lesbian Queer political lobby, the government funded psychiatrists and the establishment religion sponsored politicians and what do you get?

A list linking your old sex to your corrected one.

A nudge nudge not really list: that of course those members of the great & the good who must know your unchangeable sex determined at birth can have access to. This includes for example all financial institutions and anyone in HM Government above the level of clerk.

An approval system that only initially allowed a direct link to physical sex correction to draw in those that might have disappeared off the radar but quickly became an income stream for the charlatan psychiatrists that have to confirm two years of living in the new sex to be assigned.

A criminal offense of revealing the former sex, thus forcing someone “outed” to have to go to the police. Strangely no one has yet.

What a mess.

A disgusting shameful piece of legislation that has then been progressively diminished to the well you can if you want to league because we the state will always treat you as at best neither male or female or worst your birth sex. The scum that help draft The Act got their Member of The British Empire Medal. You know, the one that John Lennon sent back.

Notice up to this point I’ve correctly used the word sex and not the word gender because therein lies the problem.

The first and most important protection passed into UK Law was protection against dismissal for intention to correct your sex. This was written into UK law as “intention to undergo gender reassignment”.

Gender reassignment was never defined, of course; If it had been, then the transvestite community, a lot of whom are in the judiciary, would have been outside the scope of the law. The Great & The Good of course said this was to protect lesbian human rights. Those birth women who might not want to have “bottom” sex correction as it would ruin their sex life: something that the male transvestite would also strongly agree with.

And anyway, gender is all about perception and the most important fact of all that a heterosexual male must not be deceived. You can see this fact reflected in the UK stance of puberty delaying drugs being unobtainable and hormone regimes dispensed by psychiatrists that are designed to minimise physical changes. Facial feminisation surgery is both discouraged & virtually nonexistent in the UK.

However what is encouraged is a noisy, ugly opinionated separatist transgender group to create an income stream for the charlatans that operate in psychiatry & psychology. They’d love to get Lesbians & Gays back into the mental illness classification but they know that religions provide lots of guilt ridden clients and not releasing women born transsexual from the mental illness classification ensures that their income stream is maintained forever.

Of course Lesbian, Gay & Bisexual politics has a problem with Gender as it’s not a full on sexual orientation just sometimes a sub-set of homosexuality in the effeminate gay scene or a fetish amongst heterosexuals. Doesn’t fit well does it so that’s where the apartheid comes in from the LGB perspective.

The Gender Recognition Act introduced in 2004 has resulted in less than 2,500 new female birth certificates being issued and those that receive them are overwhelmed by the transgender activists who boast that they have Privy Councilors and a majority of Members of Parliament protected by Gay Civil servants to ensure that transgender becomes a compulsory third sex that all women born transsexual will eventually be forced to join.

It’s all done in the best possible taste as it protects the right of men to be what they want when they want, where they want and for as long as they want. After all to quote gender theory:
“The concept of being a woman is considered to have more challenges, due to society not only viewing women as a social category but also as a felt sense of self, a culturally conditioned or constructed subjective identity.[18] The term woman has chronically been used as a reference to and for the female body; this usage has been viewed as controversial by feminists, in the definement of woman.”

Anyway, enough of theory, let's talk real world apartheid.

Women born transsexual who correct their sex are now subject to almost universal separatism as a direct result of the adoption of transgender. You can have the birth certificate, look indistinguishable from others of the same sex but you will be outed either directly or indirectly.

WatchtowerYou will be treated as a transgender no matter how much you protest you’ve corrected your birth defect and that you have never actually changed the sex of your brain.

These are the rules of Transgender Apartheid in England:
You will always be considered mentally ill by everyone.

You will always be treated as your assigned birth sex by the medical establishment.

You will always be considered as belonging to your birth sex by all Civil Servants, Politicians, Lawyers or any other member of the professional class.

You will always be subjected to jibes, jokes and accidental misuse of pronouns by everybody.

You will always be treated as a second class citizen or customer at all times & in all places.

You will always accept without complaint lower standards of service, care or advice from all service providers and you will be considered ungrateful if you were to complain.

You will always provide yourself as a willing target for young men to abuse at any time.

You will always avoid all places where good hard working families might be present.

You will always avoid bringing dishonor to your own family.

You will always avoid bringing dishonor to anyone’s religion or god.

You will always become as reclusive as possible.

YOU WILL NEVER EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES QUESTION THE LABEL OF TRANSGENDER THAT HAS BEEN ASSIGNED TO YOU.

Otherwise enjoy your new life post correction but always remember transgender is socially acceptable only within transgender groups or designated venues on designated nights or within indulgent meetings convened by the establishment.

Do have a nice day ...

Good Column Maggie and clearly shows the danger of joining in an GLBT grouping which would give the "transgenders" a voice in what happens to those of us that are Transsexual and do transition completely with all the requisite surgeries to achieve congruence between brain and body. Transgenders always want to keep the body parts they were born with and exercise "Male Privilege" when convenient; meanwhile DEMANDING that they be able to get all the gender markers on their documents changed while nothing else is changed to match those changed designations.

Maggie, you're becoming one of my favorite satirists.

What's that? This wasn't a satire? Oh. Oh dear. Well, um....

Sorry! (a la John Cleese) ;-)

# Oh Maggie !saphirenz 2011-02-22 16:30
Oh Maggie, I am struck by the cynicism of your article. Has it really come to this? It would certainly seem that the hope and brave expectation engendered in my breast at the anticipation of the GRA has finally evaporated. Notwithstanding the scant consideration given to ex patriate Brits. living abroad which had made my dream of obtaining a Gender Recognition Certificate and hence an appropriate birth certificate, so hard to realise. Never mind the litigation in the NZ Family Court, where for four hours I presented my own case, against a strong legal opposition (Dept. of Internal Affairs) in order to obtain a court declaration with which to satisfy the criteria of the Gender Recognition Panel. My efforts were justified when, at last, I held in my hand that regal leaf which stated that I had been born a girl . What more could a woman like me want? Surely this was to be my last obstacle . How pleased with myself I was and, satisfied, I licked my wounds for it had all been worth it huh?

What went wrong? How did the dreams and aspirations of people like me turn so sour? I dare to suggest that the cause of most, if not all, of our ills is T G activism aided, and abetted by GLB elements. Far from being content to colonise the transsexual condition their “fifth columns” have infiltrated “the corridors of power “ including WPATH , the W.H.O and many human rights organisations. The same people who demean women and impose upon the transsexual condition demand registration of a ‘legal’ sex opposite to that assigned at birth while deceitfully maintaining the genitalia of that original sex , thereby completely undermining the integrity of the GRA and British and associated passports.

There is no doubt in my mind that , still, we are fighting an uphill battle and that is unlikely to change until we take confidence in our own unity and say with one voice. “ENOUGH!”

PS. I would like to know more about the effects of the GRA, any oppositions to it , the Equality Act and its effects upon the operation of the GRA etc..

The principle architect of the unique legislation where you need a psychiatrist to declare you mentally ill so you can have a new birth certificate was Press For Change headed at the time by Professor Stephen Whittle a Law Professor of Manchester Metropolitan University who coincidently was Chairman Designate of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health. I'm not suggesting that the legislation was corrupt I let you draw your own conclusions.

The Equality Act in theory would be good if the protected characteristic of "intention to undergo gender reassignment" was defined as "intention to correct your sex" and that correcting your sex was defined as removing the capability to reproduce in your assigned birthsex. That gets around lesbians not wanting bottom surgery and every man who wants a female birth certificate whilst keeping their penis can at least show some commitment!

A third sex of trans could be applied for and granted simply by sending a letter as after all gender is just a perception!

The key issue has always been permanent change justifying a new sex designation.

It is discriminatory to all women for some men to say they can be women and keep their penis.

Thank you Maggie. Once again you are preaching to the choir, as it were. I am aware of the perfidy of Whittle et Al.which for me is another example of the infiltration and hijacking of such as WPATH.

I have to say that I am not really surprised at the exceptions to the rules on access to or exclusion from single sex spaces such as changing rooms and toilets.(Equali ty Act) I anticipated a greater backlash against the glaring shortcomings of the GRA. It has always been my contention here in NZ that all women have the right to expect those who use women only spaces not to have a penis (with the exception of those pre operative transsexuals committed to sex affirmation surgery and supported by authentication.

Warm regards,
Saph

Whenever someone make a case for social medicine here in the States, this kind of nightmare is what I imagine to be the end result, well along with the inevitable higher cost and much lower level of care because of rampant system abuse by all involved.

This is why I have no use for gay men/LGBT (AKA: Gay, Inc.), and Big Government/Soci alism/State run anything as the two will always collude in order to ensure that we (being women, which most men, (all gay men) despise whilst pretending to like) shall be relegated to the bottom level of society where "any man sick enough to cut off his penis obviously belongs".

Welcome to male thinking...

We have the same issues here in the USA, but to a lesser degree, because thankfully we are not yet much recognized by our government, as we don't yet have true public health care, and hopefully never will (Where then would all the rich people of Europe go for superior health care?).

I refuse their labels, I refuse the "acceptance" of gay men and the Left, I am a woman, I have a birth defect, big [deleted]ing deal...

And that is why I enjoy an acceptance as "just another girl", by most of the mainstream Conservatives (and even a few of the miss-guided Left) that women who identify as "Transsexual" will never even believe, let alone ever enjoy...

"No, I can't stand F***s and those freaky transgendered types either"...

Strong opinions, well said, are acceptable. Homophobic insults are not. Please reconsider the last sentence in your comment entitled Lady Karen of Schelleville.
