Sending love to trans people on MN and beyond

[cassandre]

This isn't an AIBU. I just wanted to send love to trans people, in the UK especially, and to other members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

This hasn't been the easiest week for trans people, but there are a lot of us out there who accept you for who you are. We have your backs and we believe that eventually, tolerance and compassion will win.💖💖💖

Love from a longtime MNer and trans-inclusive feminist.

And why wasn’t it considered at the hearing this week? Why didn’t the Scottish Minsters put it forward as evidence?

Except it's literally about the trans community

Excellent point

They should really consider speaking up then against the many MANY violent and aggressive people threatening women over campaigning for our rights.

Always worth sharing this

Hashhash little one. I would step away from this argument you are losing !

No it’s about women

Deluded birds of a feather really do flock together.

Go on then: what’s a woman? Do tell us

There IS no argument. Zero evidence has been presented.

You haven't really countered any of the comments by the academic scientist which I'm waiting for ...

Isn’t it interesting how TRAs just spout variations of “STFU”, again and again.

Isnt it also interesting how none of the TRAs putting rainbow emojis and squawking about the poor menz aren’t actually engaging in discussion. Just throwing out weak insults and accusations. I mean WHY can’t just one person tell me what a woman is?!

You don't know what a woman is ?

Academic scientist my arse 🤣🤣🤣 you are gullible.
This so-called academic hasn’t presented me with any sources yet to their bogus claims. Can you?

Why is it so hard to answer what a woman is? Do you not know?

Oh I do. It’s an adult human female. Duh. Even if that female has a beard, wears clothes from the men’s section, calls herself Bob, likes race cars, and wears baggy t-shirts. Shes a woman based on her biology.

Do you wanna counter this?

I cannot link on my phone. I presume you can search for one or both of the following. There are several other examples

Transgender brains are more like their desired gender from an early age,
European Congress of Endocrinology, 19 May 2018

Biological sex classification with structural MRI data shows increased misclassification in transgender women, Neuropsychopharmacology 45 1758-1765 (2020)

Both excellent journals

It's hard to counter the hate you display because whatever is said you will not really listen to. Everyone has the right to their views, including, I assume a cis woman like you. All you've said so far is a woman is an adult human female which is like saying the same thing twice.

This 💯

I'm not inclusive on this issue. Happy to be a Terf in fact and over the moon women now have more protection.

Why do you think the Scottish Ministers didn’t include this in their evidence of its so compelling?

Again very surprised an academic can’t link to research on their phone. Most unusual

The study that purports to have identified 'trans brains' was deeply flawed (in that it didnt even control for things like sexuality or hormone usage).

It also didn't even conclude what it was widely reported to 'prove'. Trans identifying males brains did not particularly overlap with female.

I mean, the proof is in the pudding. If objective criteria existed, why is t it being used as part of a GRC process? Why wasn't it considered in this judgement?

No I’m not a cis woman. Im a woman

If hate is “Not centring the feelings of men to my own detriment” then call me a hater all you like.

What a shame you won’t tell me your definition of a woman. I’ve been asking TRAs for years and never had an answer

You haven’t seen my phone

You seem to confuse acknowledgent of biological reality with 'hate'. How odd.

You are looking for something black and white. Science is shades of grey
