Starmer, JKR, what's most important to most women?

[PupInAPram]

In my more than 60 years, decades of being a single working parent, many experiences of being on the bones of my arse, Labour Party policies have made huge beneficial differences in my day-to-day life. Worrying if there is a man in the next toilet or feeling uncomfortable with a trans woman has literally never been on my radar. If I'm making a decision about voting for the politician who can bring about the greatest good for the greatest number, it's Starmer every time. I wish JKR would just pipe down.

What's next? Articles from Pink News? From Owen Jones himself?

This thread captures every single well worn and well worn out “talking point” to deny the reality of trans activism’s infringement on women’s rights.
Any weary traveller down this road has heard them all, including the following:

How can you tell is someone is trans without being told? And the particularly prurient “genital inspection” variant.
I don’t mind sharing a bathroom/toilet, why should you?
If you’d ever met a trans woman you’d know they’re women
Objectors are just transphobic - it’s new racism/homophobia
Why should you worry about 0.1% of the population?
It’s violent men we need to watch out for, not trans women
What has JKR ever done for women?
Women should just wheesht

And so on ad nauseam.

All I can say is, I’m grateful for the fact that there are many here who know it’s not about toilets, not about how someone chooses to present, or live their lives. It’s about the slow institutional erosion of the sex category “woman”. If you don’t see it, lucky you with your head in the sand, but it’s here, and it’s coming for your choices, your rights. Unless there are more voices like JKR’s and Duffield’s, that we amplify while we still can

I just need the photo of a muscular trans man and poster asking if we're happy with this woman in the women's toilet for a full house

I really don't think so.

Nearly, we're nearly there..

They are quoting YouGov stats which show that most people are spectacularly unbothered about trans people. It's just that all the frothers at the mouth are here on Mumsnet clutching their pearls.

The Scottish government did NOT put a male sex attacker in a women’s prison

Yes they. already have and on several occasions.One 6ft5 male sex offender was even on release put into a homeless women's shelter.

This is clearly a troll account and they exist on both sides.

I wish JKR would just pipe down.

Women telling women to stop having opinions!!

FFS, let women speak.

Men, whether they’re wearing red lipstick and a flowery dress, are STILL a threat to women.

Just because they dress feminine does not mean they are weaker, does not mean they don’t pose a risk, does not mean they WOULD HAVE ANY CLUE, how vulnerable a REAL woman feels when they enter OUR spaces.

There are many posts I could share, FAR too many. Easy to spout the troll account narrative!

Katie Dolatowski was also housed in homeless women.and children's accommodation in England. He's a paedophile.

Scottish government did NOT put a male sex attacker in a women’s prison.

They absolutely did. Do you think there was only one transwoman sex offender? Transwomen have been found to commit sex offences at a rate several times that of other men. There was an outcry over Isla Bryson but he was hardly the first. Katie Dolatowski was another, who assaulted girls in a women’s toilets.

How many insults can you pepper your posts with

Are you for men in women’s sports? Why?

How many people did they ask? What’s their sample size? You should know as you’re quoting it.

Another bingo! Pearl Clutchers!

(I’m only 42 😭)

Ah, frothing and clutching our pearls.

Get some new insults, pet. Those ones don't work anymore.

But surely the men who would want to do such things have always been around?

I don't care who's in my toilet and I would rather have Starmer than any of the available alternatives.

Sure. But never in history have we made it so easy for them.

Indeed, that is why women need single sex spaces where men, however they identify, are excluded.

YouGov is generally respected as using large and representative sample sizes.

I have no idea exactly how many people were asked across the specific surveys cited.

Yes. And thats why all men have to stay out of womens spaces.

I’ve had the misfortune to deal with KD. Absolutely not one of you ‘you all hate trans people you big pearl clutchers’ would want him in your spaces or around your daughters. I also didn’t have to check his willy to know he’s a man.

Though I’m sure we’ll have a ‘he’s not a real trans woman!’ along in a minute.

Clearly they do, or you wouldn't be upset enough to respond.

Fine, your daughter, your sister, your niece.
