altho you do have some right things in there, you also appear to have fallen for some of the gender ideology lies.
This psychiatrist does an honest and good job of describing those lies.

I’ll watch the video later and see what I missed - thanks for the link.
What I do know is, the UK situation isn’t as bad as the American situation.
Our gender recognition act of 2004 merely protects people who had a formal medical diagnosis of Gender Identity Disorder (dysmorphia), whose treatment plan included spending a few years of “presenting in the acquired gender” before going for hormones or surgery.
The “Protected category” of going through that treatment is equivalent to the protected status of undergoing cancer treatment, or being pregnant - the protection applies only because you’re getting treatment for a recognised condition and the law requires you to prove you actually do have GD by wearing the acquired gender, not because you’ve decided to change your pronouns and start cross dressing.
Self ID proponents have lobbied for years, unsuccessfully, to get that law changed.
A tranny can spend five years presenting in the acquired gender and still not be any closer to having completed a legally recognized sex change.
Before they can legally be recognized as transsexual, their case gets reviewed by an adversarial panel. If the panel thinks for one minute that a boy took regular holidays from transitioning and reverted to acting like a man, they’ll refuse to issue the certificate.
So a GRC card carrying transwoman actually is someone who has a GD diagnosis, doesn’t act like a man, and doesn’t stir up trouble.
Btw we’ve had “nonconforming” gender in my extended family (mostly girls/women, not boys/men) for over twenty years.
Safe to say in my experience the LGBTQIA+ lobby has NEVER played any role in our extended family’s activities at any level at all; GD has always been a GP (family doctor) matter with some referrals to CAMHS (Children and Young Adults mental health services that are there for ADHD, autism, dysmorphia, eating disorders, depression and anxiety).
The external lobbyists are more likely to be Stonewall Champions telling companies and schools to enable stuff that actually contradicts safeguarding law. But just because they are ideologically captured, doesn’t mean REAL GD folks want that.
Was Wii Spa deluged by trannies trying to get into the Ladies locker room or was it one sex offender pervert exploiting stupid rules? That’s the absurdity. A real GD individual would not be seen dead in Wii Spa; it’s like saying Karen Carpenter would’ve gone to town at a pie eating contest because FREE FOOD.
Excellent video. Thanks for posting the link.
I said I’d get back to you.
Absolutely everything in that clip is bang on the money and I don’t disagree with a single word of it.
Especially given it noted that Finland, the majority of the UK (except Scotland) and other countries have adopted a position that is far more evidence based than the LGBTQIA+ activists would like.
I’m all about it being treated like a medical and mental health care scientific issue, not a social theory. I’m also actively involved with safeguarding guidance and regulations.
So I’m not sure where you’re getting the impression that I buy into “gender ideology lies”.
I do distinguish between gender and sex though. Gender is a social/ cultural construct. Sex is biological fact. While gender is affected by sex, sex is not gender. If boys want to wear pink dresses or girls want to dress in men’s suits, there’s no biological reason why they shouldn’t - the objections are entirely cultural.
