Sturgeon's Cock Up

The narrative breaks

Be kind. That, apparently, is the most important attribute to aim for. Put it on your CV – as a hobby, maybe. Or a qualification: who knows? As far as I’m concerned, though, peformative kindness actually means sod-all. You may as well as say, ‘I am as bland as they come and have an inability to think for myself, but I am KIND.’

So, kind people, tell me how the hell you justify putting a person convicted of raping two women in a women’s prison? (Let’s say “person” for now, shall we? Even though, to my mind, anyone who uses sexual violence against another puts themselves at the very wrong end of the spectrum of human behaviour…)

This appalling situation has supposedly come about as a result of kindness and tolerance. Trans people suffer undoubted trauma on their “journeys” to self-actualisation, and the “kind” approach is to let them have whatever they want, whatever that may be. Denying them access to women’s spaces and to children, for example, is treating them as predators. It is a nasty, unkind prejudice that must be overcome. 

We are all non-binary and gender-fluid; feelings are facts and, as we can now alter our bodies to fit the “facts,” that’s what we should all do. It is unkind not to accept and welcome this. We don’t want to be stick-in-the-muds like those mad feminist crones who think they don’t HAVE bodies but ARE bodies. We all love the gays now, and this is just the same, right?
