“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”

Yes sex is about reproduction and you can’t change it and it has other biological impacts like physical strength and menopause as well as societal ones which are the gender enforced on women who don’t want it

What’s the word for people who get pregnant when reproducing?

No need to change sex (luckily, as that would be impossible) - just claim a gender.

Gender really is a social construct, except 'gender identity' is defined by the individual not society, so can mean anything.

The rest of the world already knows how unhinged sex realists believe them to be.

No trans person changes sex to watch people undress. That belief is just as silly as the belief that trans people change sex to take competitive advantage in sport.

The exact same words and phrasings were invented by race realists and homophobes who hated people of colour and gay and lesbian people. The evil people were forcing their beliefs on the normal people.

Sex realism is a tool of conservative men.

I've lost count at how many times I've typed out that reproduction involves sex and gender is everything else. I've done it once more.

Is that what the kids tell each other these days?

I didn't know I could get pregnant - I thought sex was just a social construct!

Men are social constructs too. Hth.

I first suggested the Sovereign Citizen movement when you (I think it was you) started referring to all of the legal fictions that were invented to make my life exist.

No law has changed how other people interact with me. (If you wish to redirect this to cultural changes affected by law, then I would agree yes I have benefitted from the greater support of women in the workplace and also tangibly day to day.. but you're not here to talk about that. You're here to talk about trans people must be subjected to sex realist beliefs).

The normal men I see throughout my day sure aren't obsessing about my potential gametes as we interact.

We have already been accused of being aligned or tools for Sovereign Citizens.

I reckon that a lot of these accusations are projections. Because when you think of it, male people who state that they should access a female single sex provision when the law has been clarified is the same mentality as those people who declare that the law of the country / state / region that they are living doesn’t apply to them.

Just like telling women pointing out established science and biology are being told they are ideological and the list goes on.

So much of it is projection. And gaslighting.

Men are social constructs too. Hth.

You speak on behalf of sex realists. Sex realism is largely backed by US right wing christian conservative men. It is a globally-focused effort to reduce the rights of LGBT people and eventually return culture to align with its core biblical belief that women are subservient to men.

I suppose sexual reproduction is a rather abstract concept for many men.

I do wonder when the fuckwittery about ‘women are social constructs’ will disappear. That it has come so far is absurd.

As if we stripped away all the human social constructs female humans who have past puberty wouldn’t still exist and be recognisable. The only ‘social construct’ about women is when male people try to destabilise the category to force themselves to be included. Or male people wish to exploit us. Too often it is both.

Yet it is the sex denialists who are saying UK law does not apply to them and they will invade spaces they legally not allowed in. Quite like the sovereign nutters.

Social constructs are man-made and misogynistic. They hold no place in society in 2026. That they all serve men, and not women, should be the hint.
