These emails between Tim Hopkins of The Equality Network and Scottish Government are eye opening

Apparently trying to differentiate between people gender dysphoria who transition and autogynephillic men is "anti-trans"

Remember this is what the doctors whose work lead to the Gender Recognition Act set out to do

Using the diagnostic aid of expecting women to be able to tell the difference between "true trans women" and autogynephillic men https://twitter.com/MForstater/status/1357270137183887360

The person from the Scottish Government asks is it not already covered by perception -- i.e. it is a transphobic attack because the person is seen as transgender even though they are not.

The negative feelings of the attacker are motivated by hatred of transsexuals

No says Tim - they explicitly want it to be a hate crime to attack someone who is known to be cross dressing.

(i.e. including as a sexual fetish)

This is not about "transwomen are women".

It has gone way beyond the philosophical discussions about what is a woman.

If a man dressing in women's clothing for a sexual fetish is considered a protected characteristic against hate crime why not adult babies or furries etc?

Compare & contrast the acceptance of these extraordinary arguments (w no data) with the treatment that Rosa Freedman, Kathleen Stock and Alice Sullivan received for making the cautious argument that discounting male patterns of offending requires evidence https://twitter.com/MForstater/status/1356037706070032386
