“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”

We were excluded from manhood by men and included in womanhood by women.

I don't really know what 'manhood' and 'womanhood' are, but you can no more be excluded from being male or female than you can be excluded from having a particular blood type. These are objective classifications.

I don't believe I've ever met a trans woman who demanded to be granted access to anywhere. We were excluded and took the path of least resistance. We were excluded from manhood by men and included in womanhood by women.

Sex realist beliefs equally isolate trans men from men.

I really don’t understand you. In what way can cats be inclusive of dogs for example in a cat club? Or infants in a club for adolescents?

We have different teams / categories for different purposes. For biological purposes eg toilets and the biological functions that the female human beings conduct there, ( which are not restricted to toileting) we team on a biological basis and have done so for years on safety, privacy and dignity grounds. Whereas if there were to be a team on eg how to arrange long hair, that might be appropriate to organise by gender rather than sex or to include all long haired persons.

But its just silly to think that any one of us can demand and be granted access to every team/ characteristic based on our own wishes without reference to others who have a shared factor that we lack.

The video statement is classic othering of an out group to form a wedge to insert the superfluous requirement of consent. Women don’t need anyone’s permission to be women. There is no demand or request to be. Trans women are women. That sex realists are opposed to this doesn’t make it not true.

Sex realist arguments will always form a wedge. They are not inclusive. They are about restricting and defining groups that do not belong.

Yes. We understand that you don’t understand safeguarding and consent.

You are still attempting to use philosophical belief to support a purely subjective reality. One that is not based on any material reality.

You are right though, whether there is any ‘request’ or not to accept male people as ‘women’ or any demand is irrelevant. It is irrelevant because it can never be.

Using philosophical theories and appeals to ‘culture’ doesn’t make it any more materially real. The UK court system has confirmed that the only meaning of ‘woman’ for access to female single sex provisions is that material reality you are trying so hard to convince us, and maybe yourself, is just as real as your subjective reality.

We are allowed to disagree. I am allowed to live my life and you, your's.

Transwomen are men.

There is absolutely zero scientific, objective, verifiable criteria that would make them women.

No sensible conversations can be had when one side continually and knowingly lies about the facts.

Have you ever met a trans woman? This is a ridiculous stereotype.

A twisting of words and meanings.

This is so tedious.

I agree. No man is a woman.

I reckon this is a timely reminder about ‘feminine’ men and consent. You know, the consent that is the foundation to safeguarding.

Perhaps, but one that has its basis in biology.

No man can be a cultural/social woman.

It is true that the police and courts do not question a claimed gender identity, regardless of when it is claimed. There is no way to distinguish between anyone claiming a trans identity, and that is largely because of campaigning for affirmation only treatment and Self ID.

It is now a completely subjective concept.

In much of the world, female is a bioligical state and woman is a social/cultural/interpersonal state.
