But this is amazing news! We no longer need self id! We can just run a simple test and confirm, 100% without question, who has a woman's brain and who has a man's brain.
Please, shout from the rooftops that there is NO NEED WHATSOEVER now to simply accept males in female spaces on their own say-so, we just need to get the testing set up.
Oh but hang on, even if is true (it's not, because this would be a HUGE discovery splashed across all media, but even if it was), what exactly does the brain have to do with female-only spaces and protections?
I mean, we never set them up based on what brain someone has, just what body. How could we, if we didn't even know about this elusive brain sex until very recently?
That's kind of the point of single sex spaces, right? They exist because of how male people treat people with bodies like ours, and what that in turn does to our own self-image and socialization. It's not like they have been able to peer into our heads and check what brain type we have before treating us like that. It's always just been about the body they see.
TRAs seem to believe that women's spaces are just sort of there, floating in existence for no reason, and logically therefore must be available to anyone who claims the name "woman", even if the meaning of the word has to be utterly changed for them to do so. It's so weird to not even wonder why the spaces exist in the first place, and realise they only exist at all because of the people who needed them, and those are the people who should have the right to them, whatever the word "woman" ends up meaning in future, and whatever those people come to be called instead.
