I stand alongside the brave women and men, gay, straight and trans, who’re standing up for freedom of speech and thought, and for the rights and safety of some of the most vulnerable in our society: young gay kids, fragile teenagers, and women who’re reliant on and wish to retain their single sex spaces. They’re afraid of doxxing, of losing their jobs or their livelihoods, and of violence.īut endlessly unpleasant as its constant targeting of me has been, I refuse to bow down to a movement that I believe is doing demonstrable harm in seeking to erode ‘woman’ as a political and biological class and offering cover to predators like few before it. Huge numbers of women are justifiably terrified by the trans activists I know this because so many have got in touch with me to tell their stories. When you throw open the doors of bathrooms and changing rooms to any man who believes or feels he’s a woman – and, as I’ve said, gender confirmation certificates may now be granted without any need for surgery or hormones – then you open the door to any and all men who wish to come inside. At the same time, I do not want to make natal girls and women less safe. Like every other domestic abuse and sexual assault survivor I know, I feel nothing but empathy and solidarity with trans women who’ve been abused by men. Trans women who work in the sex industry, particularly trans women of colour, are at particular risk. Like women, they’re most likely to be killed by sexual partners.

Trans people need and deserve protection. “I believe the majority of trans-identified people not only pose zero threat to others, but are vulnerable for all the reasons I’ve outlined. The paragraphs referring to transgender transitions and detransitioning rubbed the transgender community online the wrong way.

#PORTKEY HOGWARTS LEGACY LICENSE#
No, it’s not about the game’s development or whatnot, but it’s more about the Wizarding World and Harry Potter license creator: J.K. However, the game is not without its share of controversy from its announcement up until its release. Things should be looking up for the developers, no? The game is amassing great reviews on Metacritic and Opencritic, scoring 80s and 90s for its open-world gameplay. And it’s a really good title for non-Harry Potter fans like myself who just want to enter a world and play make-believe student wizard/witch, studying to be the best, exploring dangerous ruins and dark corners of the world, and taking care of fantastic beasts. We’ve played 10 hours of it and it’s really fun if you’re into all-ages(ish) fantasy-slash-modern-times gameplay involving wizards, witches, goblin uprisings, and broom-riding. Hogwarts Legacy will be out later this week, and it’s the newest action-adventure game from Warner Bros., Avalanche Software, and Harry Potter game licensors/makers Portkey Games.
