Would you have been up in arms if someone had said, of a husband in 1990, "he may be predatory but he can't be a rapist"?
I find you and others making the distinction very, very sad.
Do you have an excuse for it?
If you honestly believe that some predatory men won't use the self identification road we're going down then you're very naive.
Like joining the priesthood or becoming a TV presenter or teacher or Primary School cleaner.
Sadly, there are some people who will find a victim. You aren't so much depriving them of access as shoving them somewhere else. Also, I think, somewhere much easier where they don't even have to pretend to be something they're not (male/female-wise at least).
If you honestly believe that some predatory men won't use the self identification road we're going down to their advantage then you're very naive.
Why? You are making a prediction as am I. Do you know what I'd do if I wanted to see some boys in 'unusual' situations? I'd become a teacher. Perhaps a parent. A community club leader. Social worker. One of the millions of other opportunities where both sexes are openly accepted without having to pretend to be trans.

I know, however, that the majority of teenagers are randy wee rascals.
I went to an all girls school. Secondary in the early 80s. I can attest to the randiness. At least there was no risk of pregnancy...

yes, but no room here. This is a women only safe space
But that is/was the whole point of GG, read their mission page.
That embarasses me, as a woman who wanted (and feel I now have) equal access to male spaces.

I see the way the world is heading. Confused, possibly suicidal, children being sterilised at a young age rather than get help with their mental health because it's 'transphobic' not to.
This is the first thread of this kind I've posted on but have read others. Someone else wrote a more involved post like yours along the same lines and it really made me think and consider it.
I agree that they should have help. Not because they have mental health problems but because they're 'uncommon' and may need help understanding this and how they fit in in a world where they are a minority. The same way I think gay should (and do) have access to help.
I don't see 'accepting without question' should mean withdrawing help.

it's very clear to me you don't know what people are talking about
Shhhh. The adults are talking. The adults who try to explain their opinion to someone they think is wrong without resorting to being immature.

Refreshing honesty. Most pretend it's for the benefit of all.

Where they existed they had been invariably given the 'glass cliff' tasks with higher risk of failure and lower potential rewards.
I'd like to read about this. I'm professionally successful and I'd guess at the level of 'board member' but not in the corporate world.

With the advent of the internet, you can find 'proof' of anything.
I hate the way TRA and MRA are treated as such disdainful terms. Surely, it's absolutely no different to 'feminist' according to gallavich, isn't it?

Some transwomen definitely hate women. Look at Caitlin Jenner - doesn't believe in abortion for example.
Not believing in abortion is not equal to hating women. It usually comes down to their god having told them it's wrong.
One of my posts was deleted. No idea why. I assume this one won't be.
I have a different opinion to some of you but am trying to be intelligent and respectful!
