“Heated Rivalry” author Rachel Reid on J. K. Rowling - “the bar is pretty high in how evil you have to be,” “ I’m extremely the opposite of everything she believes”

And yet, we now have two UK court judgements that provide clarity that when the EA2010 refers to women, it refers to the definition that I provided. That is what I and many others on these thread keep pointing out.

You can continue to repeat falsehoods all you like people will just continue to point them out.

The hopping on one foot while reciting sex realist incantations thing is really what makes everyone else squint and spectate as though a Freeman on the Land was listing reasons why laws and legal fictions do not apply to them.

That is the sex realist definition. The rest of the english speaking world shares several other definitions.

If you say so!

All language is a social construct.

However, whatever the word for a mature female human with a body formed around the production of large gametes, that word’s definition will exclude all male people. There is no messiness that makes you a female person. I am sorry that this confuses you to no end.

Just repeating meaningless trope doesn’t mean the point gains meaningfulness.

You have to believe what you must believe. It affects my life exactly zilch.

Nice try. Only someone who knows he is a man would think my original post was taking about him.

Oh the rest of the world knows sex realists don't understand social constructs, only gametes.

I've been called a man here since I wrote about my transition. There's no admitting for your beliefs, just acknowledging that you are socially challeneged in that respect.

Who said I was taking about you? Glad to see that you finally admit that you are a man though.

Woman and man are social constructs.

Who are you trying to convince? Hint: it's not us.

I'm sorry that you believe I am here to convince you that I am a woman.

Other than friends from my childhood and school, family, and incidental medical persons, no one has any knowledge of my transition as a teen.

Woman and man are social constructs. They are based on sex, however they fail to accurately translate the relationship 100% of the time. Gender queer people, non binary people and trans people understand this at the cellular level. Life is full of messiness. I'm sorry this confuses you to no end.

The UK and US effort to legislate complete social adherence to sex will fail and it will harm more non trans women and men than trans women and men. The US Christian conservatives are already declaring victory against 'the trans' and are publicly focusing on reverting reproductive freedoms and promoting the repeal of laws granting rights to women. Everything is connected.

If men who think they are women, were actual women, they wouldn’t need to spam thread after thread trying to convince everyone that they are women.

“I've lived non trans life for over forty years”

Your every single day since you started taking estrogen supplements has been lived as a male person with a transgender identity.

The cognitive twisting you seem to have to do to get through life is clearly an enormous everyday effort. Your account of your life is constantly full of contradictions and inconsistencies.

Mmm

this is your belief.

And yet it’s men telling us what we can talk about, who we can meet, the words we must use. It doesn’t seem like sex realists are taking women’s rights away.

I've lived non trans life for over forty years. I am just as qualified as you to determine how men and women live amongst each other. The sex realist need to ignore that doesn't make my experience or understanding untrue, it makes you seem unable to assimilate facts that do not align with your ideology.

Oh bless you, you mean you typed that with a straight face? I assumed you were an FWR regular writing a spoof post.

No, it's just that most people can tell the difference between male and female, and when it matters, it matters.

Sex realists do not speak on behalf of women, they speak on behalf of conservative groups who use sex realists in their quest to remove rights from all women.

I think if those male people knew exactly what motivates some or many of the female people around them to treat those male people as if they were female, they wouldn’t be so keen on making such baseless claims.

And yet to be able to publish a sfudy on why female people acted the way they did around those male people, it would be considered hateful and would not be funded. Because I don’t believe those male people actually want to know at all. They want to live in ignorance and make absurd claims.

This, of course, is your belief.

Considering how many times women have posted on this board and across the internet that they will use demanded female pronouns for male people because they don’t want to offend those male people because socialisation, fear of repercussions or because they think those male people are mentally ill and don’t want to add to their mental illness, and those posts are very easy to find here and all over the internet I find it rather ironic that some male people really do believe that the majority of female people genuinely believe that those male people are female in anyway.

It is significant because it really does show that some male people choose to live in a controlled environment where they can then deny whatever they want to that will cause them dissonance with their belief about themselves.
