to think no one can define living as a woman

Firstly, all women know by instinct it's not safe for us to go walking alone late at night

The post I was referring to was saying it's not safe for women to walk down a road by themselves.
Nothing about at night. Just not safe to be walking down a road.
Also - should women stay at home or only be allowed out with a chaperone? As one logical conclusion to your way of thinking is to "keep women safe by reducing them to victims and unable to be out by themselves.
Which is far more harmful to women's rights than trans people.

This is a hypothesis, not a fact. You don't speak for all women. In the same way that just because Donald Trump says something a million times, it doesn't mean that it's the truth.

Talking of which, some men are vile, I accept this, but that doesn't mean every trans woman is a danger. You can't go from the particular to the universal, otherwise you're back in Trump land.

Rape is legally defined as sexual penetration with a PENIS without consent.

What you are describing, is sexual assault ie penetration with an object.

But RAPE is a crime that entails a P.E.N.I.S.

You, are the one that is wrong. And that is what those like yourself with an anti-women rhetoric get wrong.

Not in UK Law
and this is a UK site

You're wrong. You've started this thread and you literally don't know what you're talking about. This really exemplifies the type of people pushing the anti-trans rhetoric.

Rape is about consent and penetration can be with anything.

You claim to be representing women and safety and you don't understand the basics.

Firstly, all women know by instinct it's not safe for us to go walking alone late at night. We know that by instinct. Secondly, you don't get it. It's not about 'trans people'. It's about MALES. MALE vs FEMALE. And women may not be defined by our bodily functions, but we are oppressed by them, and our sex-based rights are based on them. Denying that the female sex is the oppressed sex is more harmful to womens rights than anything else. You are denying reality here, because you think women are not vulnerable, to be a 'cool girl'. It's just not reality. Women are the vulnerable and oppressed sex. Males are the predator and oppressor sex. That doesn't change if you put some feathers on the fox and stick it in the hen house.

“Which is so far from feminism to me”

Just adding, what kind of feminism is not based on liberating female people from oppression? Particularly oppression based on them having a female body?

Yes because they think that's all they have to do to be a woman, forgetting the fact that women are born completely biologically different.

“It's always reducing women to their bodily functions”

Female bodies are the only shared aspect of being female that all female people experience.

What part of female sex based oppression does not start because of them having a female body?

I think the difference is the expectations put upon you. Women are generally expected to be kind and nurturing, be okay with looking after other people’s children, etc. We’re expected to behave ourselves. Men are expected to be strong and provide. They get away with being blunt more than women, not remembering to buy Christmas presents. Things like that.

“childbirth and periods for example doesn't cover all women.”

The ‘potential’ for childbirth and periods do cover ALL female people though. They are uniquely in the position where they have the body that was born with the potential to have childbirth and periods unless a medical condition, injury or medical choices prevents periods and / or pregnancy.

No male people have this potential.

Yes, I agree women would be more impacted by the issues you mention.
I definitely don't agree with people on here saying "until you've experienced" or making out we all have those experiences. We don't.
It's always reducing women to their bodily functions or to victims (too scared to go out by ourselves/,it's not safe etc) on here. Which is so far from feminism to me, and imo much more harmful to women's rights than trans people ever will be.

What sex do you think would be mainly (mainly being the word here) affected by the two issues you’ve mentioned? Go on, have a wild stab..

No, childbirth and periods for example doesn't cover all women.
Neither does being too scared to walk down a road by ourselves.

Whether or not a female person experienced menstruation during their life, they are the people who have the body formed for the production of ova regardless of whether that body does or does not produce those large gametes.

Even the fact that a female person doesn’t produce gametes is part of the female experience. Because no male people need to have their bodies investigated or treated for lack of menstruation, no male people menstruate. Only female people - ever.

Hence the only way to ‘live as a woman’ is to be born a female person with a body formed around the production of large gametes regardless of whether they will ever produce those gametes or not.

There are also no way a male person can live ‘more’ like a female person and ‘less’ like a male person. There is no way this works. They will always be ‘living’ as just another way for a male person to live.

I know not everywoman have/will experience all of that list but every woman will have experienced something on the list.

The whole Gender mess is centred in rich western countries
where people have too little real stuff to worry about.

Transing kids is an upper middle class thang
(they want to rebel and long hair / drugs / being gay no longer does it)

AGPs are a western fetish

Affirming trans identitities is as daft as
affirming anorexia
(who else remembers the "Pro-Ana" panic 15 years ago)

A man can never live ‘more like a woman’ because he will never be a woman. There isn’t such a thing as degrees of womanhood. It’s not a sliding scale - that’s like saying the ‘genderbread’ scale from Barbie to GI Joe shows how much someone lives ‘like a woman’.
Here’s a lesson plan from an online website ‘The Safe Zone’ that produce LGBTQ “educational” resources. Have a look, it’s hilariously dangerous to think our children have been taught such utter nonsense in our schools.
https://thesafezoneproject.com/activities/genderbread-person/

A Scottish study show that 97% of women and girls have experienced sexual harassment. Add on periods, childbirth, and all the rest of it, I would say those would cover all if not 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of females.

It’s Christmas - have a day off 🙄

That's a list of things that aren't every woman's experience though.
So saying "until you've experienced these" is 🙄

Until you've had periods, are at risk of being and getting pregnant, being afraid of walking down a road by yourself, being leered at by older men, being touched inappropriately, dealing with childbirth, going through the menopause, having and dealing with endometriosis, breast feeding your child, being raped and sexual assault, domestic violence or all female experiences of that a man will probably never experience "living as a woman." So yes it's reductive stereotypes.

Iirc there was a study that showed if people are shown faces without skin tone and hair that people were very successful in correctly identifying the sex of the faces they were shown. Based on bone structure under skin.

Does the NHS specifically require a man to actually wear dresses and skirts, in order to qualify?

As you're a doctor, you should know both that male vocal cords are different from females, and that the male skeletal structure is different from females. Hence the 'tells'. You would also know that it has been shown in university studies that women (and young children) can identify a male in 96% of cases.

It's really, really not difficult to tell a male body from a female body. It really isn't. And nobody had any real problems for centuries/millennia that civilisation as reproduced and flourished. Seemingly until the last 10-15 years. Maybe as a doctor you could explain why we can't suddenly 'know' something we've known for multi millennia. (and sans medical tests).

Edited to add that that is if you are a medical doctor, you don't say, but perhaps I presumed wrongly.
