First item is the Hate bill and JK's tweets - they did invite her on but haven't heard back yet

For women Scotland will be on too.

What is the adjective "trans" describing then?

Aye, it's indicating a transition from or across to.

Feministwoman · 03/04/2024 23:10

Seriously, why is anyone bothering to even respond to DJ?

It's so obviously a derail by a TRA.

It’s trans woman - trans is an adjective. Outside of gender critical circles “woman” suffices.

Nope. You will.not compel my speech. Transwomen.

Trans is a Latin prefix meaning "across" "beyond" or on "on the other side of". So transwoman or trans woman literally means "not a woman". The only biological qualification you need to be a transwoman is to be male. Women cannot be transwomen. Transwomen are not women.

Nope. It really doesn't.

Outside of the genderist circle, woman still means adult human female, 'transwoman' is a sort of polite fiction for a small subset of males.

Shall I try for a 3rd time?

@DadJoke - why do you think single-sex spaces exist?

flippinhecknotagain · 03/04/2024 22:31

@DadJoke just wondering why men are called 'transwomen'?
If a man decides to be a woman, then is his description not 'woman' ??

Does the fact that they need an extra word to describe a 'woman' ( i.e. 'transwoman') in itself not demonstrate that the term means a state of lacking being an actual woman ... the not-ness (that's now a word!) of being an actual woman? i.e. just a 'pretend' woman

I think that we should thank @DadJoke for his efforts on this thread. I have never seen so many new usernames posting against his arguments. He is the ultimate GC recruiting sergeant.

Boiled has it spot on.
Porcelain not chromosome.
More sanitary.

I've never heard of the term nutpicking and thought it was a Freudian slip...

Now that I am better educated, it's interesting that the link DJ posted says that the essential questions are:

In other words: every movement has crazies, but not every movement is crazy. The proper questions are: "Does this movement promote crazies?" and "Does this movement have proportionately more crazies?"

In terms of gender ideology it's plainly apparent that the answers are YES and YES.

Consider gender ideology truly nutpicked.

Nutpicked or nutpacked?

Whenever you say
'Toilets are chromosone based'
We're rolling our eyes.

Bollocks. I misspelled chromosome.

Sorry - this paint isn't going to watch itself dry . . . 😁

The ongoing Icelandic eruption is rather hypnotic and less volatile than the fragrant India.

I used "bathroom bills" as that's what they call them in States. We don't have legislation like that here, yet, so that was the test bed of what happens to GNC people and trans men when you use chromosome-based toilets.

Nutpicking is a logical fallacy.

You do know how ridiculous it sounds when you say that toilets are " chromosome based"? Everyone, their auntie, and her next door neighbour knows that they are sex based.
