A wig doesn’t make you a woman

This has really riled me up this morning.

This man looks like he’s literally thrown a wig on and now demands everyone calls him a women.

I am all for respecting peoples choices but surely you lose some of that right when you become a dangerous sexual predator.

This is purely a power play by him.
He can do whatever he likes but you still have to show him respect by using his preferred pronouns and name.

Thankfully he’s in a male prison.

Agree with PP - we should only respect choices which are worthy of respect. This man's choices are not worthy of respect. Part of who he is is someone who abuses women (and men also, seemingly). Forcing people to use wrong sex pronouns is part of that abuse.

But there's something about cross dressing criminal men being referred to as she/her and woman in the press that makes my blood boil.

Sorry my reply button isn’t working.

I feel exactly the same.

If you want to cut your hair off or wear a wig and call yourself a different name in your private life, then carry on.

As long as you’re not committing any crimes, believing you are a biological man/woman or expecting others to refer to you as the opposite sex then what someone does doesn’t really bother me.

But it makes me angry that this is a dangerous man that people are calling her/she and respecting their choice to identify as a woman - there is absolutely nothing female about him.

These are the crimes of a man, not a woman and I feel offended that the media is saying these crimes were committed by a female.

A man pretending to be a woman so he can act like a sexual predator. Surely not? These things won't happen - the politicians have told us so....

There are so many aspects of this that wind one up.

I’m not sure that’s a wig. Maybe a mop?

🤣🤣🤣

This is obviously insane.

There was a good seminar by Sex Matters at the start of the year which spent some time looking at how we got here, and suggesting how to get back out.

There was a press problem that needed to be fixed - they show a bunch of examples - but we've massively overshot.

And for someone so young? There really is some research needed i to why someone has so many convictions by that age. Please god NOT research into why so many women are doing this…

Rightsraptor · 07/09/2023 07:34

He has convictions for 87 offences. That's a lot for a woman. Something odd going on here 🤔

If you have a vagina you are a woman.

If you have a penis you are a man.

I don't understand how we've managed to tie ourselves in knots over this gender / sex malarkey.

The only thing that makes a woman are XX chromosomes.

Rightsraptor · 07/09/2023 07:32

Are you really all for respecting people's choices? I'm not because I think that's the attitude that's helped get us here in this mess. 'Respect' is - or should be - a fairly strong word. I'll tolerate most, unless they conflict with my comfort and then I will not tolerate them.

This man's behaviour should be neither tolerated or respected.

There does seem to be a lot of these reports.
