I believe in religious freedom. But your religious freedom stops is where it intersects with mine. I support your right to believe there is a chocolate teapot orbiting the earth. However if you also your assert that everyone else must believe in the teapot and give a weekly devotional offering of chocolate biscuits to your priests on pain being burnt at the stake as a heretic, then I reject this imposition on my freedom.

The word TERF is used like that of heretic and in place of burnt at the stake there is ‘die in a fire’. The reasons for this slandering and calls for violence is because the doctrine of gender identity is a religious one and it is not possible to rationally argue for it. It has to rely on a faith based argument of truth by revelation.

Why is not possible to argue rationally for it? Because it ignores basic science. Anyone claiming humans are a sexually dimorphic species or that the penis is the male sex organ and the vagina the female, is liable to be called transphobic or a TERF. Every biology teacher and nature documentary narrator in the country is effectively rendered a heretic by a post modern argument that insists that reality is malleable and that we can bend it to our will.

In which case I identify as the heir to the Rockefeller fortune. Anyone refusing my assurance that I’ll pay them back when my millions come through is nothing less than a bigot.
