(also I’m straight and have no interest in being “picked” by a trans woman, but that’s by the by).

She said "boys", not "trans women". Revealing.

Aha, so third spaces are ok for trans women. But not ok for women like you? Why? What’s your issue with using a “third space”? Are you worried it might be stigmatising and outing perhaps? That it might make you feel ostracised and a target for discriminatory treatment?

Oh look the gotcha.

Of course the bit about 'discretely' and without telling the entire workforce, passed you by.

Of course, you can't do that if you have 'women' and 'women's only'.

That's the difference.

Awww, I was going to say Don't go, you haven't told us the answer to
'BTW What is a trans woman?' yet.

But I see you're back already. Such a cliche.

We could simply have a requirement that these facilities are just for cis gender criticals.

In regards to 'cis'.

Based on posts from another thread where a poster assured us that cis women are what we should be talking about when referring to two male boxers who competed in the female category of boxing in the Paris Olympics, I decided that we need as many women who read these threads to understand just what that term means.

The term 'cis' is now meaningless because it also now includes any male person who has a DSD yet has a body that is **formed around the production of small gametes, ie. a male person with a difference of sex development that have testes or testes tissue. Such as Caster Semenya.

Therefore, female people have no unique words that describe just those female people who have a body ^^formed around the production of large gametes.

None.

There is no word left for female people. Because even male people are now saying they are also ‘female’.

Because 'girl' and 'woman' both now include:

1 Male person who has been incorrectly registered as a female at birth, but has a male body **.

2 Any male person has now claimed a transgender identity using those labels.

3 And any person who has a female body ^^.

Under the label of 'girl' and 'woman', extreme transgender activists have been telling us for years that those labels break down into two types of girls or women:

Cis and Transwomen/transgirls.

These terms mean:

Cis = 1 Male person who has been incorrectly registered as a female at birth, but has a male body **

and 3 Any person who has a female body^^

Trans = 2 Any male person has now claimed a transgender identity using those labels.

Do people see the issue here? There is no unique word to mean female people who have a body ^^ formed around the production of large gametes.

Cis is now shown to be meaningless.

Anyway I intended to see myself out of this thread a while back - third time lucky 🤣🤣

Of course, do flee instead of answering any questions. This thread serves our purpose to the general readership, and you've been the cliche cowardly MRA.

Trans Ideology is a first world privilege. Other cultures do not accept Trans Ideology. Those that do, do so because they are homophobic. It's better to have a trans 'straight' male than a gay male. That is why trans is so popular in the few (homophobic) countries it's popular it.

That aside, there is no culture where it's acceptable for a naked male to get his erect penis out in front of female change rooms and toilets. None. None whatsoever.

Well said.
A male ideology imposed on unconsenting women and girls by a certain type of man supported by useful idiots.

Why so you can argue with me?

I'd be interested to hear your definition - not in order to argue, but in order to understand what you mean. I'm assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that you are not including men who simply "drag up" from time to time. (I mention this because some authorities now include drag under the trans umbrella.)

GargoylesofBeelzebub · 25/09/2024 12:54

i think most trans people would be ok with a third space for “gender critical” women/ girls. But maybe I’m wrong…

The thing is that it would eventually become the female space and transwomen would then demand access to it.

RedToothBrush · 25/09/2024 12:55

PiggleToes · 25/09/2024 12:41

Actually there are many cultures which are far more accepting of trans people than ours. And while being trans is not a western phenomenon, being a “gender critical” most certainly is (a particularly middle class, British one in fact).
but, in any case , since this primarily a policy debate, I was looking for a nation-state based solution - and thinking specifically of a uk context since that is the one we are discussing.

Edited

And are more misogynistic and have less rights and protections for women.

Funny that.

These threads do, and that's why TRAs get angry about us and have described Mumsnet as a "radicalisation portal" aka a place where open discussions are had about the reality of gender identity ideology and its utter disregard for women's rights.

Exactly.

Blokes realising they could cope an eye full suddenly start identifying as women so even the accepting women move. Thus the transwomen go up in arms and want to move with the women 'for their safety'.

Just solve the problem.

Women only.

Transwomen have third space.

Non negotiable.

There is no response I could possibly give you that would invite anything but hostility. I have learned this through experience.

i am here to understand what other people think, not to share my own knowledge which will only fall on very deaf and very angry ears.

It's disappointing that you're here on a knowledge acquisition exercise but are unwilling to share your own knowledge.

All because we don't believe that gender identity is like being Tinkerbell and saying 'i don't believe in fairies '.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 25/09/2024 12:58

Guess that "knowledge" doesn't count for much in that case.

Just like if women actually started referring to themselves as "cis women" in large numbers, trans women would start identifying as cis women on the grounds that they were assigned a female gender identity at birth.

ChungKing · 25/09/2024 12:59

Why not have the courage of your convictions and post it publically? Nobody's going to bite. I'd be interested too as no one ever seems to be able to answer.

Pp’s on this thread have made it clear they call trans women “men”, “boys” , “male”. Her comment made no sense to me unless she was using language in this way- why would a non trans man be more likely to “pick me” for supporting trans women? Nonsensical.

If you were genuine, and not a typical gutless wonder, you'd post it on here with the knowledge it could stand up to scrutiny, instead of hiding like a gutless, snivelling coward admitting defeat.

Gentle reader, there is a reason MRAs/TRAs always run away from debates, and feminists NEVER do....

ItsNotYou852 · 25/09/2024 13:00

Has it ever been suggested that there should be a linit to only those transwoman further along the path? Or even a "no boner" rule, one strike a warning, two strikes you're out! Genuine question, not having been a close follower of the debate.

If he PMs his definition to anyone, post it publicly on this thread. Every reader deserves to see his 'definition'.
