Why is there such a fixation on the ways that the polypeptide chains in our cells are arranged? It's so self-defeating.
My 'fixation' is about a workable law, based on identifiable points and robust clear legal definitions that works to prevent harm and balance the needs of ALL.
You can't do that around 'feelings in your head' and sexist perceptions of the aesthetics of what makes a woman.
Why are women abused and harmed? Why are they discriminated against? Why were laws to protect them set up in the first place? What is it that makes womens healthcare a Cinderella service? Why is it that women are significantly more likely to be the victims of domestic abuse? What is it that means women are significantly more likely to be the victim of sexual abuse? Are there more or less women in prison than men? And are the types of offences similar or massively different? Why was women's sport invented? Why were women's toilets promoted in the UK and then by charities in the developing world? What children are/were most likely to be the victims of infanticide? Why are women treated differently in Afghanistan? There's so many areas where there is an impact from sex. From data collection, to research and product development. I could carry on.
Just because you don't like your sex and don't want to admit to your sex, your sex still exists.
You are totally oblivious to all of this. You dismiss it as irrelevant or unimportant. That's arrogant and absolutely tone deaf to a point it's grossly offensive.
All these issues haven't changed because some bloke came along, decided he wasn't a man anymore and that he should get access to womens spaces and demand he is treated 'like a woman'.
The very concept of a 'cis woman' with privilege over men - especially considering the pattern is that the majority didn't and still don't transition until much later in life (ironically the opposite to what's going on with women and girls) so have those years of privilege being a boy and a man, is so deeply offensive I don't know where to start. It drips with sexism. Everything about telling a woman that hey we are redefining what a woman is (but notably there isn't the same attention paid to destroying the word man) drips with sexism.
It is all about power and control. It always has been.
The idea that sex is about the cellure arrangement of your body is massively offensive too. Women's lives ARE defines in multiple ways by their reproductive ability (including it's lack of) and our sexual functions. Women understand this because we live it.
By saying it's just a bunch of cells, dismisses the lived experience of billions of women around the world.
Just how unbelievably arrogant is that?
Sex matters.
Feminism is about understanding that but saying it shouldn't mean we are disadvantaged and harmed because of it.
You are actively saying it doesn't matter.
I say this a lot, but your comment illustrates it particularly well: if you can't see sex, you can't see sexism. But that doesn't stop sexism and the harms that come with it. Indeed it just enables it.
I am 'fixated' with ensuring this doesn't happen and that we don't regress to a place women have been and been restricted by and don't want to return to.
That's not to say that's there's a pile of work to do on helping men and women who don't confirm to gender - but that problem is different and shouldn't be confused.
Clearly identifying sex in law as about biology has importance and offers protection.
I fully expect this post to be brushed aside like every single other one we've made directed at you as being some however transphobic and irrelevant. Because that's just it. We don't matter. We are all supposed to accept what you say and defer to you because your needs and desires are more important.
Except they are. And rights are about balancing issues. And unfortunately sex doesn't go away because you want it to. Cos material reality.
