I am Olenna



A man cannot become a woman, no matter what he does to himself (including medical and surgical procedures he may undergo), and no matter how he chooses to present himself (including his manner of dress, hairstyle, 'mannerisms', name and preferred pronouns).

Equally, a woman cannot become a man, no matter what she does to herself.



I shall not deviate from this position. To do so would be insanity.



I shall conduct myself politely and with the respect that individuals are due simply by virtue of them being human beings.



I deplore the oppression of any individual on the basis of how they present themselves in public or in private. I support the right of adult MTT and FTT to make whatever changes they wish to their bodies and to present themselves however they wish. I oppose any discrimination such individuals may face. MTT and FTT may face particular difficulties, e.g. with regard to accessing appropriate and sensitively delivered healthcare, and I fully support their rights to obtain the services that they require on an equal footing with any other person.



D'ya geddit, MNHQ? I am really not a bigot and am really not a transphobe.



BUT MTT are NOT women. And FTT are NOT men.



If on the basis of this, you wish to ban me, so be it
