Just how the hell can Serco vouch for everyone who uses this service?
Women will be perfectly safe sharing a sleeping carriage with ANYONE as there is a button they can press?

@Stillscreaming may I ask a question. Why do you think women think trans women are women? What's the reasoning you UAE in gauging other people's opinions on this. Is it conversation, things you'be read etc? You Don't need to answer but I would like to know.

I'd also like to know how your trans friends feel about self id. Again, you do not need to answer and you may not even know.

reasoning you use in gauging

SuitedandBooted · 02/04/2018 22:33

We need a proper debate on this. Women are entitled to their safety, boundaries and rights.

Ten signatures off 9000! Come on everyone, share the petition!

BlackeyedSusan · 02/04/2018 22:53

also intrigued why you think lots of women think trans women are women. perhaps that is the predominent view among your friends/colleagues or people you hang out with on social media?

(genuinely curious)

CircleSquareCircleSquare · 02/04/2018 23:08

It might be the view of a certain group of society but certainly not the majority. My MIL was very understanding of transwomen but nearly fell off her stool when I told her about TRAs pushing for them to be allowed into female only spaces. She has plans to circulate the petition around her WI and music group.

SuitedandBooted · 02/04/2018 23:37

I think that's the whole problem, - people just don't know or understand what is proposed.
If you can bear it - take a look at the Twitter account from the Lib Dems LGBT Group. It is an education in disingenuous double-think.

There is a very entertaining thread going on Feminist Chat at the moment - apparently the Lib Dems are OUTRAGED as we are all being radicalised Hmm

Damn women, they're actually THINKING for themselves!!!

'They don't affect who can go where'

ShockShockShockWhat the fuck do they think the point of self id is then? Are they incapable of following a two-step argument to its second step without having it spelt out for them?

SuitedandBooted · 02/04/2018 23:49

I'm sure they know perfectly well what Self Id actually means.

Their mission in life is to stop the rest of us knowing, hence "Its just a piece of paper! Halo - nothing to worry about at all"

Trans women aren't men.

But they are. Of course they are. Otherwise, they would just be called Women.

I can't see how sex segregation keeps people safe anyway. It's not as if it's exactly unknown for men to attack and rob men, or likewise with women.

Italiangreyhound · 03/04/2018 00:37

@GnotherGnu nothing keeps anyone completely safe but we still lock our doors, and we use passports even through burgles can pick locks and terrorists can take passports.

Most males don't want to sexually attach anyone but quite a few males do want to sexually attack women. So isn't it logical to keep males and females apart when they are getting undressed, sleeping etc. Unless they are already a family unit etc.

Plus because men and women are biologically different there is some sense of privacy when you need to go to the loo etc. get changed.

"or likewise with women." You know women don't commit most violent or sexual crimes, don't you.

If we don't care about sex segregation in sport and toilets, changing rooms, etc, why do we have it, why have we had it for decades?

Terftastic · 03/04/2018 00:39

Gnu knows we weren't talking about robbery.

Italiangreyhound · 03/04/2018 00:51

I thought so but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt.

I would have thought the #Metoo campaign had shown that male sexual harassment and violence was much wider than many of us thought.

Terftastic · 03/04/2018 00:52

Absolutely, Italian.
