I’ve been on another thread - and other threads - and I’d like to talk to anyone who believes that trans women are women and trans men are men.

I don’t understand how that works and I’ve tried on other threads to get engagement , and it hasn’t worked.

so. I’m starting a thread.

I promise I am asking genuinely and I really do want to debate.

I don’t understand how I can tell if a trans woman is genuine.

I don’t understand how the laws could be written to make it work.

I don’t understand how it works as it competes with sex based rights.

I will probably regret starting this but I’d really like to understand

What do you mean “square the circle of competing rights”?
do you think males should have the right to force themselves into female spaces?

You cannot change your sex and so no transwoman is genuine.

That’s my view. But there are people who believe that they are actually women - so how does that work on a cognitive level? How do you know?

im autistic and i just don’t get it

So you only want answers from those who say you get to choose what sex you tell people you are?

No. I knew I wasn’t expressing it right.

I am firmly gender critical but I don’t believe I’m hateful or nasty or even transphobic.

I want to try to square the circle of competing rights.

im very tired and wrung out and I have a migraine so this probably wasn’t a good idea

What do you mean by ‘genuine’?
What do you mean by ‘make it work’ - make what work?
What do you mean by ‘competes with sex-based rights’?
