To think this is fantastic, of course. Now can we sort out women’s rights wrt women’s spaces, and stop this 1%Of women have penises nonsense?

Respect biological women’s spaces or be sued, that kind of thing?

Your rights won't be. How can you have women's rights if they apply to any man who wants them?

How will my women's rights not exist if they properly implemented the buffer zones outside anti abortion clinics?
Why would trans people have any bearing on that?
How would my rights not exist if they sorted out the extortionate childcare costs which would have helped me get back into work so much sooner?
There is so much more than "women v trans" which some seem to think.
Half the time we're wanting the same thing, we should be standing up for it altogether in my view - bodily autonomy (right to an abortion, right for trans men to have control over their body)
Right to be able to access medication (eg birth control)
Etc etc

Look, I am strongly GC. But this argument that "womens rights cease to exist if a man can identify as a woman" is just plain wrong. Womens rights to single sex spaces, yes.

I think we have been over all this before and I think you're being very naive.

We now have the concept of 'legal sex' which can be different to 'biological sex' and no clear mechanism in the law to prioritise biological sex. How can women secure their rights to single sex spaces, shortlists, care, etc, etc, when men with GRCs can pitch up with a legal document (birth cert) that now states their sex as female?

Those are single sex spaces. Womens rights are a lot more than that.

Sure, but they won't be specifically women's rights.

Granted, biology will make a nonsense of some of these rights being granted to men, but the concept will be eroded.

If it happens to be relevant, as it is in this case, there is no reason why not.

How is it relevant to the menopause?

Yes, it won't be long before the DIDs decide they are being discriminated against because they don't go through the menopause (while conveniently forgetting that a lot of other people in the workplace don't either).

What's a DIDS?

Yes, it won't be long before the DIDs decide they are being discriminated against because they don't go through the menopause

Although going by this at a guess it's a derogatory term for a trans person going by this comment and a wild theorist "I bet this is what they're gonna do next!" which'll get thrown out as fact when nothing of the sort happened and they didn't try to claim menopause at all?

Nothing to apologise for! I'm not as prolific on the FWR forums as I used to be and have NC several times over the years. But you and I are definitely in agreement on almost everything I think!
