Why the hell are GMB gaslighting women with this stuff?

This is an enormous male-bodied person - even larger than the interviewing man!

I am glad to see the polling results.

As to 'misgendering' I am not an adherent of the transideology belief system. Misgendering is a made up word to me.

My own belief system is led by reality. My statements are led by this and unless you are saying my speech should be compelled to reflect someone else's belief system that is in direct conflict with my own I can call this person a man.

Hopes and dreams about playing golf? It's only a game!

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command 1984

Isn't it just @bluebunny1

@OvaHere Oh no it would be so unladylike to be disrespectful wouldn't it!

Men do not belong in female spaces and sports doesn't matter how many unnecessary surgeries they have, they are still men!

Hopes and dreams about playing golf? It's only a game!

Tell that to the man taking women's opportunities then

Hopes and dreams about playing golf? It's only a game!

Some people are professional sports people, and this is their career.

It isn't only a game. That is to play into the hands of people like ParkRun.

It is a serious sport, that people train for, spend their life training and getting better. And given the prize money available on the professional circuit, it is well worth being good at.

It's only a game? People spend money, hours of their life training to be able to compete!

And can be people’s livelihoods like any professional sport

Does that only matter when it’s a male? Why?

I notice that 'it's only a game' is only ever trotted out with regards to women's sports. Everyone seems on board with men's sports as an industry worth billions of dollars.

It helps to see the physical reality in these reports

All the falsifying language falls apart

@TotalAbsenceOfImperialRaiment

It might only be a game, but it bring sponsorship, prizes etc. In the USA when Thomas stole the swimming cup, he took a women's university funding!!

Sports come with scholarships, who will fund a women if they know a man can just enter? The men, who are often sub par in their sport, just change categories, so that they can win. If this continues, there won't be any high level women in sport.

And there we are.

It didn’t take long for someone to just admit what all these men really think. Women’s rights and sports don’t matter.

Try telling Rory McIlroy that golf is just a game and he should just hand over all his trophies and winnings to a cheat

No they don't. I only know about it now by clicking on this thread.

I wonder what would happen if the women's international football team played a trans women player? As far as I am aware, they are able to apply to play football at the elite level of football still, unless I am mistaken.

I find it incredible on the interview that they happily acknowledge the physical advantages of men over women "if they haven't been taking treatment" but completely ignore the advantage they have from decades of male development. I also feel the interviewer should have asked a follow up question at this point, asking about the obvious physical advantages this player has over players born as women and their opinion on that

I saw this run yesterday on GMB & Susanna & Ed Balls commented afterwards (with lots of sighing and umming) that men shouldn't be playing in women's sport.

Just dropping this here for anyone who hasn't seen it and/ or has any doubts about the unfairness of XY in XX sports.

Again, I didn’t say that we should be involved. I have specifically said a number of times that trans women should not be in women’s spaces. I just made the point that I think that they should have their own space where they can feel safe.

Where exactly did I say that it’s up to women to sort out?

I think this would be a real slippery slope in terms of athletes being encouraged/forced into altering their bodies to enter the trans category, which is highly unethical. We have already seen this with Caster Semenya - a male athlete with a DSD. Men with DSDs are scouted because they are guaranteed medals if they compete in the women's category. This is obviously unfair on women athletes, but it is also exploiting the male athletes in usually poorer countries who will suffer the health consequences of lowering their testosterone.

This is an excellent point and one I hadn’t actually considered, thank you.

I’m saying that you keep announcing you’re not ‘TERFy’ but your actual position is exactly the same as the ‘TERF’ one.

They know it's unfair. They like it that way.

I fully agree that third spaces are a good idea. However, so far these have been shot down or ignored when suggested.

I think you're both violently agreeing with each other tbh 😁
