wait a minute...

Substitute 'woman' for 'sane person' and it makes much more sense

Cant we use this for everything...i will happily forgo the word woman if i can have 'sane person' instead Grin

Lass yes, it's just pointless grandstanding. Wanting to identify your way out of femaleness but still wanting to appropriate femake victimhood and tell other women that they have to change the way they speak and write about women's bodies, experiences and lives.

But is she right? In that because she is legally a man and the abortion rights refer to pregnant women, she is not eligible for one?

No of course not.

I'm familiar with the language in the UK Act. It makes it legal for a person in the right circumstances to carry out an abortion. It makes no difference what sex or gender the person performing the abortion is and it is the act itself which is legal or illegal.

I am indeed Shins. How this really important issue is being turned into a trans issue is absolutely horrendous Angry

Demented, (you must be Irish?) I just posted about that funnily..it was linked to by Parents for Choice, which depressed me, as it now seems that all Irish pro-choice groups are infested with this bollox. What a ridiculous sideshow, it's not as if campaigners for abortion rights in Ireland don't already have our work cut out for us ffs. I will NEVER watch my pronouns and "Noah" can feck off, frankly.

I very much doubt she would be denied an abortion by anyone who would perform an abortion on a woman.
Misogynists know she is a woman alright, and on this basis might deny her an abortion, but, not the same thing.

I like the comment that said 'so you had PIV sex and a pregnancy scare and that still didn't wake you up to the fact that biology matters?'

But is she right? In that because she is legally a man and the abortion rights refer to pregnant women, she is not eligible for one?

Talk about make a big fuss and change all the rules and then demand everyone play a different game because you don't like the rules you made!

Aaarrgh!

I just read this article: www.themarysue.com/oklahoma-dystopian-abortion-bill/

Most of the comments are sensible but then someone writes "This wouldn't happen if men could get pregnant" and immediately someone starts with "But men CAN get pregnant!"
It is derailing. Plain and obvious derailing of important discussions, with stupid, stupid, stupid nonsense. Everyone knows that exactly NO one doubted the ability of "transmen" to get pregnant.
