@DPJHodges No - there is no half way. If you start calling a man she, but then want them not to be in women's bathrooms, sports, sexual violence shelters...you have to explain why that 'she' should not be there compared to other 'she's' when the only reason is because they are a 'he'.

@cloudysprinkles I could wear an all-over fur suit and go to the vets, lie on the floor, purring while licking myself clean...it wouldn't make me a cat, even if I identified as one and really weally weally wanted to be one. Your delusion is not our reality, you narcisssitic lunatic.

@LabBeyondCities Nothing woman (and the men who support them) hate more than when a man tells them what to think.

@LabBeyondCities @KowaseCooking Percentages and rate of occurrence doesn't matter as to whether it is right or not.

@LabBeyondCities It affects us all, our freedom of speech, the safety of any female we know. If we can't define 'woman' we can't defend it. Anyone is free to think of themselves as they wish, but not to demand laws match it. You are alienating large numbers of voters with this stance.

@LabBeyondCities @PaulEmbery I'm obsessed with reality - the reality of our sexually dimorphic species. The only people obsessed with "identity" are those who can never be what they want to be.

@LabBeyondCities Women being able to describe men accurately is "culture war slop"? You are a f*cking disgrace.

@DPJHodges It seems entirely reasonable to be even more wary of 'men who identify as women and demand access to female spaces' than men who don't demand this. It isn't all men, but it's always a man. This is not the same as saying 'all men/TW are perverts'.

@ged68050 @CrunchAlias You aren't claiming to be a man, yet you tell me you're perceived as one. Got it. Clear as mud. I'm not confused - I think it's clear that you are! You think you have a gendered soul in your brain out of kilter with your body for instance. Is a seahorse perceived as a horse?

@ged68050 @CrunchAlias I'm not opposed to third spaces, but that presupposes that all those who describe themselves as trans would use them. Many trans-identifying men are actually either autogynephiles or transsexuals (as opposed to transvestites) and they want to be in women's spaces.

@ged68050 @CrunchAlias Still doesn't make you a man. You cannot speak for everyone that they perceive you 'as a man'' (whatever that mean).

@ged68050 @CrunchAlias The problem is trans identifying men who want to be in the women's toilets, I agree. Transmen are at far lower risk if using opposite sex facilities and that's a risk you take on for yourself. If TW are allowed in women's spaces, all women get no say.

@ged68050 @CrunchAlias Perception is in the eye of the beholder, not a piece of paper. Only women need a doc saying they're a man. You admit u can't change sex, so how have you "transitioned"? Chopped bits off/taking hormones? Short hair short/wore trousers? It's extreme cosplay, is all.

@ged68050 @CrunchAlias You are either a man or you are not. If you are a transman (a woman) then use women's toilets. Sex isn't gender. All transGENDER people have a sex. Single SEX services cannot by definition by transGENDERphobic.

@ged68050 @CrunchAlias It's about safety of women. If you're a woman, use woman's toilets. If you're a man, use men's toilets. This isn't difficult. Humans cannot change sex, there is no inbetween. Ergo, only two spaces needed. Men are the risk, it is't punishment to say so and treat accordingly.

@ged68050 @CrunchAlias I used to think so. I don't anymore. I'm done 'being nice'. Using pronouns, offering 3rd spaces simply affirms or validates their delusion. This isn't a sitting on the fence issue.
