It isn't because they call themselves trans, it's because they're MALE and there is absolutely zero evidence to suggest their identifying as trans in any way alters male-pattern criminality.
Add this to the physical advantages of the male body - bigger, faster and stronger than

Come on Jo, you're supposed to be a genocidal hateful bigot, didn't you get the memo?
All this compassion and reasonableness will do is make it more difficult for TRAs to present you as Literally Hitler, and that's really unfair of you.

The only thing your rot-pocket has in common with a vagina is the void in the middle.
Calling it a "vagina" makes it painfully obvious you think its main purpose is as a receptacle for insertion 🙄

No, because it endorses a deeply homophobic, regressive and misogynistic ideology, plus it has been demonstrated that women get treated worse than their male colleagues of their sex is known: normalising the use of what amounts to a religious declaration in this way will only do

The medical & mental health professions can be wrong, their history includes: lobotomies, electoshock treatment, thalidomide, the Satanic panic & the recovered memory movement...

This is essentially what Sigourney Weaver did when Ridley Scott made her wear unnecessarily tiny knickers for an Alien scene.
Apparently, it cost thousands and thousands of dollars to have the visible pubic hair painstakingly removed, by hand, from each film cell 😁

The Distance magazine offered a $1,000,000 for a transphobic JK Rowling citation - it has yet to be claimed.
Surely that amount of money is worth "dancing like a puppet"?

Given that the data from US, UK and Canadian prisons all show the same trend (of trans-identifying male prisoners being significantly more likely to have committed a sexual offence than non-trans male prisoners): yes. Absolutely.

Indeed.
There's a trans-identifying male currently sitting in the House of Lords whose older sister would have inherited his seat, had he actually been a woman.

In fairness, the AGP label does get applied more frequently than is accurate; it's usually just fetishistic transvestism.
Although, with this particular paraphiliac's focus on a female-specific bodily function, AGP is still likely.

You characterised valid concerns as deliberate untruths, based solely on fear and hate, thereby undermining the women pointing out the dangers of creating a sacred caste of males and exempting them from the safeguards we apply to other males.

The sexist and regressive stereotypes responsible for the social pressure on women and girls to be 'kind' and 'agreeable' have been weaponised against us throughout all of history.

The thing is, we're allowed to critique and mock all other religions, but to do so with Islam is automatically equated with "Islamophobia" - similarly to how any concerns about women's rights and child safeguarding were mischaracterised as "transphobic".
