Of course women will be safer

Are you seriously implying that nobody can tell biological women from trans identifying males?
Come off it 🤦‍♀️

What they look like a man so your just going to report it? With all the plastic surgery etc we have these days. I'm not sure how many trans people you have met, but some of it is really good and no I wouldn't expect them to look like a man or walk in with there penis hanging out.

Agree. I honestly think women have a really good intuition on this. It’s probably some sort of inbuilt survival extinct. Even with those beautiful thai ladyboys you see on the tv I always think they have a quality

How will you actually know if a transwoman enters a womans space? What will you actually yourself do to make sure this doesn't happen and what official checks do you expect to happen?

This is also a common thing on here. Anyone who doesn't agree or think like you must be a man.

Yes I do think that, because most of the time that's true.

Bollocks. Evidence?

😂😂😂 you think? Bless. You must be a man. Women know when they see a man. It’s always obvious. for some reason men don’t get that. But there we are.

Oh I know. They are clearly just totally captured by the nonsense. I’ve heard some women saying are they going to have to prove their sex now to use a toilet. Well, no, if they never had to before, why they are thinking they might have to now is beyond me.

Also that “c1s” men could now pretend to be trans men to access women’s changing rooms

despite the fact they’ve been telling us for years no man would pretend to be a woman to access a female only Space

I’m a very tall woman. Tbh I would be hurt if anyone challenged me on entering toilets etc but frankly I’ll take it over the current situation for the sake of the safety of my daughters going forward.
I do feel somewhat that we are living in the upside down and reading social media at the moment is crazy! It’s not unlike that weird uneasy feeling I had when Covid first hit and we went into lockdown, except that was rooted in actual facts and scientific evidence. I’ve got an old childhood friend on instagram who is quite a well regarded scientist, incredibly smart and academic, spouting absolute gibberish!

Why? Do you think tranwomen look like men in disguise? How are you going to stop them coming in to female spaces without some sort of proof?

Transpeople are 0.5% of the UK population I think it is?

And the average height for a man in the UK is 5'9". So a man 5"4' or under is 5 or more inches shorter than the average.

The average height for a woman in the UK is 5"3'. So 5"10' or taller is at least 7 inches taller than the average.

And yet multiple posters this week know people who are both way outside the average height for their sex, and are also part of the extreme small minority of people who ID as trans, plus are in the even tinier category of transpeople who 'pass' totally as the opposite sex.

You don't think that's amazing? I think it's amazing.

You've even used too tall as a way of telling a man from a woman FFS!

I remember people using the same argument to insinuate that Daniel Radcliffe's girlfriend was actually a man.

I really don't care about the ruling much, but do think people underestimate how/what other people who aren't them and don't think like them act/think.

Did we need them before women and girls were told that they needed to welcome male people with transgender identities into the female single sex spaces?

Or did you just pick up on some extreme transgender activist discussion points and think this was a convincing point for you?

But now, they can no longer just assert ‘I am a woman’ and automatically be able to enter women’s spaces unchallenged to do this.

So on that basis you would envisage a guard on all women only spaces with the authority to check the genitals of anyone they suspect of not being a woman?

Apologies if this has been covered already, I haven't read the full thread.

Why?

Did you have to before women were told that they could not react if a male person with a transgender identity entered the space?

I think your post may be hyperbolic.

The ruling makes it clear that if an organisation wishes to use the exceptions under the EA to designate a space to be single sex, it can. So, yes, it DOES refer to toilets and changing rooms. And yes, a designated single sex space does exclude male people of any identity.

Please stop spreading misinformation.

I feel like we are now going to have to prove ourselves as women.

This!! 👏👏

My sister got accused of being a bloke once. She just said ‘no I’m not’ and carried on. No drama. She laughed about it. I’d rather someone call me a bloke than plenty of other stuff.
This argument about all these butch women being thrown out of toilets is a really feeble attempt to get rid of single sex spaces. And how way many women are genuinely going to get violent if they see someone in the loo who think is a bloke? All that will be hurt is feelings.

I have zero issues with trans men in women’s toilets, and women do not need to “look woman enough”.

Its obvious when a woman was born a women.

Enormous TRA straw man.

99.9% of the time within 10 seconds of looking at a person it’s blindingly obvious if someone is trans.

Yes that includes muscular trans men. There are so many obvious physical characteristics such as skull, hands, limbs, torso.

A butch lesbian or a GNC biological woman is still obviously a women. People spouting about short hair/androgynous clothes are full of shit.
