if you are a biological man.

Or indeed define living as a man if they are a biological woman.

What is the definition, how do you define a person ‘living" as the opposite sex?

AIBU to think that nobody is going to be able to define this unless they resort to regressive stereotypes.

YABU - I can define this for you without using regressive stereotypes.
YANBU - You are right, you can’t define this without using regressive stereotypes.

This is one of the things that ‘peaked’ me. I’ve yet to hear a clear definition of what it means to ‘live as a woman’

Yes, it's a fact unfortunately.

Jesus fucking Christ. Just when you think you've heard it all. I don't have kids but I cannot imagine not feeding a baby girl until she was satiated. Fucking hell.

Every transwomen is a man and like all men the pose a risk to women which is why they belong with other men not women.
Oh and transwomen also sexually assault at more than 5× the rate of men who id as men.

Gosh, it’s almost as if it’s a kink for a lot of them…..

This does make me very sad for the dysmorphic men who have surgery to try to reconcile their issues, I know some and they are not actually AGPs, and I wish they would speak out and acknowledge that a startling percentage of TiMs are AGPs. But instead any hint of asking for clarity or suggestions of third spaces results in immediate screams of ‘TERF’

I think this is a useful video in that Amy highlights several important things.

One is the nature of the boundary violations of male people, that even a boundary violation by deception is a significant issue.

But she also highlights the tactics and emotional manipulation that underlie the rhetoric people use to demand that male people are treated as if they are female people.

Remembering of course, that this can only ever be premised from a philosophical position. Because there is no material way for male person to change sex and someone’s feelings of gender dysphoria does not mean that they are materially the sex they want to believe they are.

Once you can strip away the emotionally manipulative language and behaviour, there is no logic or science that supports the demand that male people should be treated as if they are female.

The only way I can describe living as a woman is because I deal with both the ramifications of having a female body and the ramifications of living in a world with a sexist attitude towards people with female reproductive potential.

Oh come on! Everyone knows "living as a woman" means taking selfies in the Ladies lavs, wearing a plastic miniskirt that lets the, ahem, 'bulge' shine through, fishnets, stilettos, a nylon wig, big plastic breasts, fake fingernails and a shed load of ott facepaint.
