Six year old trans girl ‘tries to cut off her penis’ after Guide ban

What about my rights as a vulnerable adult human female?

I do not believe that humans can change sex. That is a scientifically factual position. How can scientific fact be 'bigotry'?

You need to take this up with Mother Nature

A child attempting to mutilate their genitals is a sign that the child has been sexually abused. Social services should be involved.

Unlikely. We're still waiting for a definition of woman that explains what biological women and trans women have in common that differentiates them from men.

The Scottish Greens voted en masse against the six words amendment of the Forensic Medical Examiners Bill, designed to allow rape survivors to request (not demand, just request) a female medical examiner. Maggie Chapman of the Scottish Greens was a major force behind the disaster at ERCC.

and of course, in E&W, there's good old Hypnotits.

They despise women to their core.

I've always used pronouns to refer to sex. That was true of everyone until a few years ago.

Can you tell me when we as a society had this debate collectively and decided that pronouns referencing 'gender' was preferable for society at large? Because I seem to have missed that discussion

making six year old girls so distressed that they attempt to cut off their penis?

Girls don’t have penises.

Its another marginalised group that is picked on by bigots

Racist = bigot
Homophobic = bigot
Transphobic = bigot

Comparisons need to be made so people can understand the hate that they spew at groups of very vulnerable people.

Hear, hear!

And again - not gender, sex.

You always know the trans rights people because they can never say sex when they mean sex. They always say gender. They always conflate the two and get annoyed at any suggestion they actually talk about what they want. If you want mixed sex spaces stop talking about gender neutral or mixed gender. (Eg as girl guiding allows in trans boys or non-binary female children, they are already mixed gender).

No, you misunderstand. Boys are boys and girls are girls. Wear what you like, play with what you like, like who you like - those things are choices. But your sex is your sex.

Cool.

Why would this mean he has any right to access women/girls single SEX spaces?

Define gender.

Guiding is single sex not single gender.

If caring about women's rights to single sex spaces and services makes me 'right wing' then fine.

All I can say is WTF happened to the left wing that saw fit to throw women under the bus to this degree?

He's not a girl about, is he?

But they can change which gender they identify as.

Why are you bringing gay people into this?

How is the type of person one is sexually attracted to anything to do with this?

Comparisons with gay rights are ridiculous.

Being gay is about accepting your sexuality for what it is. The 'trans' discourse is about encouraging people to believe they are something they are not.

Gay rights required nothing from anyone else but civility.

No going along with lies that men can 'really be women', no women having to give up single sex spaces and services. No children being put on life changing medical pathways because they are gender non conforming.

The grift is over mate

Weird though right, every progressive I know isn’t worried about trans people. They don’t paint them as these evil cross dressers trying to “invade female spaces”.

on the other hand, every roundabout painting, hotel shouting, flag waving nutjob is anti trans.

you might not be one of those, but there is definitely a correlation between conservatism and transphobia.

Humans can be same sex attracted but they can't change sex

Not going to Rainbows is the least of that little lad’s problems. I do hope he manages to get some help.

Please define transphobia. You seem able to spot it and want it criminalised as hate speech, so I think it would be helpful to have a definition.

Having worked in higher education and having encountered in my work a disproportionate number of trans women, my overriding and lasting impression is that none of them were truly happy and surgery brought with it further complications. But any grown up discussion is shut down with accusations of transphobia. In my role my, despite my personal view, I was nothing but supportive in picking up the pieces administratively (mainly mental health related) for this very vulnerable group of people who have just been sold a lie.
