Supreme Court ruling.

I don’t particularly care if this gets deleted and I get banned, if you are openly happy about the Supreme Court decision then you are the problem with society today.

Trans men and women are not the problem, they are not the reason for violence against women. However for whatever insane reason you have made them the subject of your ire and will stop at nothing to see them suffer for these perceived slights you think they have committed.

do you idiots not realise this implications this ruling has? Putting hundreds of thousands of people’s lives at risk, severely increasing the mental struggle trans people face before transitioning and increasing any shame they may already be experiencing.

Do you think these rules stop with trans people? They don’t. We aren’t living in the medieval ages where only white men had rights, this is 2025 so why don’t we start acting like it.

I actually cannot express the anger this brings me, to treat a fellow HUMAN BEING this way is beyond me.

Consider that what trans men and women label themselves as and what bathrooms they use is a) not really as deep a subject as you think and b) frankly none of your business.

Perhaps consider going outside and touching some grass.

@glittercunt thank you for summarising your position. What it doesn't seem to take into account is the quite basic understanding that any access or accommodation for transwomen must logically and irrefutably also be fully available to any man who wants it - because there is no objective criteria for anyone to tell the difference between a transwoman and any man.

The problem isn't transwomen. The problem is that the proposed access and accommodations for transwomen cannot possibly be allowed to happen in a world where bad people exist, and bad people do exist.

Have you ever done safeguarding training? I found it really useful to understand that all the restrictions and limits and checking is done not because there is any suspicion that a given volunteer/Sunday School teacher/scout leader is a Bad Person. It is to create an expectation that EVERYONE who works around vulnerable people is focused on creating a culture and environment where there are NO opportunities for Bad People to exploit. Good people do not baulk at having to do things in a more complicated way because of safeguarding, because they understand this.

In the same way, the rules and accommodations that transwomen have in order to function in their lives with dignity and access to the things they need, cannot just be the nicest or easiest option. It has to be a setup that could not be exploited by any man who is seeking opportunities to access women when they are vulnerable. Transwomen who are good people will understand this if they think about it properly, which really makes us lose trust in the good intentions of those who are still fighting it.

Sorry Pal, like me you are a bloke.
If we blokes laugh at you in a dress, stop. and consider why that might be.
As I said earlier this week adopt a new hobby.
Take up being nice rather than threatening.
Stop believing Stonewall.

They are men. Men who present five times the risk of sexual offending as other men.
