European Convention on Human Rights

Discriminating against a small group of women is not supporting women's rights, it's the opposite. Gender critical ideology is about upholding western beauty standards and biological essentialism. It's everything feminist stands against.

It's also why most large feminist orgs oppose gender criticals.

Try getting a diagnosis of gender dysphoria without taking hormones. You won't get one.

I've literally got a GRC and have gone through the procedure, and yes, HRT is a requirement. Surgery isn't, but you do have to explain why you haven't had surgery yet.

Actually human rights are about protecting privacy and dignity and preventing harms.

That means women's human rights include the right to safeguard ourselves from males. It also includes having privacy and dignity from males.

If you think women's legal human rights' are 'hatred' then you really are showing yourself up.

There's nothing safeguarding about irrational hatred

It's a sad how so many people have grown an irrational hatred of so few. This will pass, eventually.

Transsexuals peacefully existed for decades, and will again in the future. Especially when people realise how unworkable and damaging the EHRCs bathroom ban is.

You need to have medically transitioned to get a GRC.

No you don't. No hormones or surgery are required for a GRC.

It's seems you are woefully ill-informed on trans matters

Safeguarding is not hate.

Hth

What if they have a gender recognition certificate, would you still ask what's trans about them?

The fact remains that nothing you can do can alter your sex.

'Being trans has nothing to do with femininity or masculinity' but by definition it has to do with being male or female, and attempting - unsuccessfully, because it is impossible - to change sex.

You can have all the hormones and all the surgery you can get, but you will never be, what you claim to be, a woman. Anybody telling you otherwise is misleading you.

After all the hormones and surgery you will still be a man, minus some body parts and plus some health issues. A different kind of man, but not a woman.

The difficult truth is that you are not now, and never will be a woman. You will never be legally entitled to use any single-sex facilities designated for women.

That's just the way it is. The facts are the facts - human sex is binary and immutable. That includes you, you are not an exception to the inability to change sex, and anybody who tells you that you can be something you're not is doing you a disservice.

There could be no such thing as gender stereotypes and I'd still be trans. Being trans has nothing to do with feminity or masculinity.

I am trans because the primary sex characteristics I was born with, and the secondary sex characteristics I developed before I stopped my puberty make me uncomfortable, and feel like they do not belong attached to me.

Most of the time I'm wearing the most gender neutral clothing I can because its comfortable. I have never cared about masculinity or femininity, they're both bullshit.

What's trans about them?

What about those “trans women” who don’t have any medical treatments? Should they use the men’s?

I think they key point at the heart of the OP is not marriage, which Cannongoose's reply focuses on, but what happens in a democratic society when two groups make claims which are inimical to each other.

One of the glaring problems with transgenderism is that it erases the terms by which two important social groups, women and men, are defined.
You can have all the charters, declarations, Magna Cartas, proclamations, etc in the world declaring that women have certain rights specific to them, or people with disabilities, or other groups in society, have certain rights specific to them.
Definition of terms is essential in identifying these groups and guaranteeing them their rights.

A very very small, but very vocal group of men claim to be women, and claim they are therefore entitled to rights specific to women as a social group. This obliterates the established meaning of the term 'woman', and makes laws which are set up to confirms the rights of the group 'women' mean nothing, if the definition of 'women' includes 'men'.

It means that women as a social group lose the rights that they have been guaranteed in the past, such as the right to single-sex spaces in certain circumstances.
Women lose our sex-specific rights if anybody, regardless of biological sex, can legally identify as a woman, just as people with disabilities would lose rights to reasonable adjustments such as designated parking spaces if the entire population could legally identify as disabled.
Without clear definition of terms, specific rights and entitlements are paper tigers.

I believe that defining 'woman' as 'biological woman', excluding all biological men, regardless of how they identify, is covered by

8.2 There shall be no interference by a public authority with the exercise of this right except such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society ...for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.

because allowing anybody to identify into social groups they do not belong to is inimical to the rights and freedoms of those groups.
