Welcome to political correctness gone mad- if they identify as a woman then the police have to treat them as such. No need to shake and get angry. Feminism has gone too far, PC madness is turning us stupid. If I as a male decide to identify as a bird- I mean woman- and dressed up as such then thats what I will be known as with the way modern transgender recognition works. Take a deep breath- common sense has gone out the window. Even Germain Greer and others agree we have gone too far. Some insight: Planetcommonsense.com
My bollocks pale into insignificance next to those you're spouted here.
A man wanting to live the life of a woman (as best they can) is not the issue, and never was.
The issue is that such a man, can never actually BE a woman. We can refer to them as women, try to treat them as women, but they will never actually BE a woman. Biologically it's impossible.
In trying to 'treat' them as a woman, we've gone too far with actually defining them as a bona fide woman, which distorts medical, criminal and sporting records, and diminishes the rights of biological women who are expected to give up the most sacrosanct of female spaces, including those specifically designed to protect them from violent and manipulative men.
It's nothing like feminism 'gone too far', it's entirely about glossing over biological fact in the name of 'protecting' a minority group but in the course of 'protecting' that group, compromising the rights of all biological women.
Greer's comments on feminism are not related to this. She's referring to some feminists who have some seriously radical views. There's a wide range of feminists in this world and their views can differ on some subjects, but their fundamental goal of liberty for all women remains.
All biological women that is.
They aren't against transwomen. Many feminists sympathise hugely with transwomen trying to live a normal life as a woman, but wish to draw a clear distinction between such a 'woman' and a biological woman.
They have little regard for men dressing as women carrying out horrifically violent acts, or stroking their penis as they enjoy their 'womanhood'. These are men in drag. Always have been, always will be.
