EvilGoldfish Not in my experience these were men who identified as being female, a gay man would have no reason to change their physical appearance.
JaneJeffer Surgery never was a requirement as such and whilst hormone treatments may have 'improved' it is true that back in the day they will have needed a medical diagnosis rather than self identifying. it would be very uncomfortable for someone who is trans to be on a ward other than that of the gender they identify as.
To be honest I have come the point where I couldn’t give a shiny fuck how ‘uncomfortable’ it would be for a man with a penis to not be in a woman’s prison/ girl guide tent/ rape centre/ toilet/ changing room/hospital ward.
It may have worked decades ago when very few trans women existed, and they genuinely had dysphoria. It doesn’t now every MRA, sports cheats, rapists, fetishists and their Dad is muscling in on women’s rights, spaces and even our own bloody word to describe our sex.
I care more about women and children’s safety, safeguarding, dignity and privacy than I do any man’s feelings.
They can campaign for third gender neutral spaces, a private hospital room if they don’t want to be on a male ward, a third category in sport, a separate wing in a male prison etc.
Women’s spaces should be off limits. And I don’t care how many mantrums on Twitter that statement would cause.
