The Staniland question:
Do you believe that male-sexed people have the right to undress and shower in a communal changing room with teenage girls?
is so clever. The fact that so many people refuse to engage with it - let alone answer it - means it's a quick, powerful, way of showing how ridiculous the TWAW position is.

Can we think of any others that would be as effective? Maybe we could come up with 5 or so really sharp questions that TRAs could refuse to answer. My first thoughts are something along the lines of:
Why is it racist to identify as another race but stunning and brave to identify as another sex?
I'm sure somebody can word that better.

So any suggestions? The questions need to be short and clear.

What an interesting and revealing choice of wording.

@malloo

Should women ever have the right to say no to men?
I think that's the underlying question! Plus, should women ever be allowed to discuss things without the presence of a male?

Exactly jj so it would be a 4 year old girl, who is in the girls toilets

Should transmen be able to benefit from primogeniture?
Should a transwomen recieve blood transfusion from a woman who has had a pregnancy?
Should sport have sex categories?

Do you believe that Eddie Izzard is a woman ?

@Redshoeblueshoe

Or jj should that 10 year old be allowed to expose their penis to a 4 year old ?
Pretty sure women's toilets don't have urinals.
jj1968 · 17/02/2021 12:48

Should shop assistants, security guards and changing room attendants be required to establish what genitals people had at birth before they can be permitted access to toilets and changing rooms?

And how would they do this?

I like this game.

@jj1968

Should a 10 year old trans girl, who in every way looks like a girl, be forced to use spaces where men have their penis exposed?
Yes, because that child is a male child. Regardless how effeminate he tries to look.

Males in with the males.
Females in with the females.

Black and white, easy-peasy.

Should a masculine appearing woman have to prove what sex she was born before she can enter women's toilets and changing rooms?

I saw this on Twitter - it might be by someone here. It's not a question exactly, but I thought it was good.

What is the difference between gender dysphoria and anorexia? Why should we not operate on anorexics and remove their ribs? Why should we remove the healthy breast tissue of girls?

slug · 17/02/2021 12:39

If trans people are born in the wrong body, can the same be said for a child with Down's syndrome? [insert birth defect/disability of choice here] If not, why not? Couldn't they just identify out of their disability?

Wandawomble · 17/02/2021 12:39

Do you think children are capable of understanding the long term effects on their emotional state and their future relationship and sex lives, to not go through their own puberty and have chemicals put into their body to put them through the puberty of the other sex?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 17/02/2021 12:38

What do I as a woman have in common with all MTF trans people that I don't also have in common with all males?

Nellodee · 17/02/2021 12:26

If a transwoman believes they are both a transwoman and a man, are they a woman?

Astraturf · 17/02/2021 12:20

Why do they interfere with the sexual development of children if they agree that sex and gender are different?

What contraceptives are supplied to guides when they go on over night trips?

Mermoose · 17/02/2021 12:20

I do find it interesting that most people who think they believe in all this stuff, don't, when it comes to it, know exactly what it is they're meant to believe. For example - TW are not born in men's bodies, there is no such thing as a man's body, sex is a construct and a penis belonging to someone who identifies as female is a female organ.

In my experience most people who try to defend the ideology end up at some point saying something that is, by orthodox standards, transphobic.

CaraDuneRedux · 17/02/2021 12:14

Actually, that's a good question.

What does it mean to say someone feels like they've been born in the wrong body?

Mermoose · 17/02/2021 12:11

My super-woke DS1 would say: That question isn't relevant because the trans movement is about people who have been born into the wrong sex. So they are women in men's bodies and therefore non-binary

I'd say first of all, he's incorrect in saying that the woke opinion is that a transwoman is non-binary.

But also, this just shows the relevance of the meaning of man and woman - if a woman can be born in a man's body, what does that mean? Why is it a man's body? Why is the person really a woman?

It's great that he's having these discussions with you though.

merrymouse · 17/02/2021 12:08

That question isn't relevant because the trans movement is about people who have been born into the wrong sex.

And they know they are in the wrong body because...?

Meanwhile does he think that men in women's bodies would have been allowed to vote before 1918? before 1928 if they were under 30? Would they be allowed to drive cars in Saudi Arabia before 2018? Why?

He also says the bathroom argument is a straw man because there have been no cases ever of men posing as transwomen to access women's loos and changing rooms in order to assault women.

What changes would he make to his appearance to pose as a woman, and why would they be unsuitable for a man?

I don't think there is one simple killer question that will suddenly enlighten people, just lots of questions, that might make them think.

CranberriesChoccyAgain · 17/02/2021 12:07

If aggressive men can enter a women's toilet at any time if they really wanted to assault a woman, why do transwomen think it's safer in there than the men's toilets?

ChakaDakotaRegina · 17/02/2021 12:05

Has your son seen this? A 10 year old girl.
Does he know 98% of convicted sex offenders are male?
