Rebecca Reilly-Cooper nails it. These questions need to be put to every left-wing politician and self-proclaimed feminist who endorses gender identity ideology.

Hooray - encapsulates my position nicely!

Brilliant

Awesome.

I went to see her talk, she's excellent

Excellent!

Brilliant!

Will someone please pose these questions to Lily Madigan on Twitter. Or some other TRA.

Excellent. Thanks for that.

Bang on.

Brava!

Irk, very informative. Just goes to show that all the stuff about "but trans rights don't take away from women's rights, you're just being hysterical, equality is not cake" is just window-dressing for what is a direct attack on women's rights - as someone on another thread put it, the "old fashioned, cunty type of woman."

All of Rebecca's questions have very obvious answers if one actually looks at the world - and to refuse to look, to refuse all obvious evidence that biological sex matters to people's life chances and the way they are treated, is rank misogyny at its most strident.

The problem with posing direct questions like that is that the lefty dude bros don't honestly think that 'penis and testes people' are doing the disadvantaging. It's just the 'ovary and uterus people' getting it wrong.

If penis and testes people sometimes rape and harass ovary and uterus people, that's either because those are random nonrepresentative Bad People (and thus Not Like Us) or because the ovary people misled them (because they are Not Like Us).

You know when they jump on you and say 'thats not a good look'?
I'm having to resist the temptation to snark it back at them.

These are very good

I'd add - if sex is not binary, what are the other gametes apart from ova and sperm?

Sex chromosomes are the same: Xs or Ys. In combo, the vast majority arranged in either xx or xy formation, but a single x or xxy or another combo doesn’t negate the binary code

This is a bit simplistic. There are XX individuals whose physical appearance is male.

Those individuals are intersex though, they have a disorder of their chromosomes that results in ambiguous apparent sex. They are not another sex and this doesn't mean that sex isn't binary.

This is a bit simplistic. There are XX individuals whose physical appearance is male.

Those people are intersex. Nothing to do with transgenderism and nothing to do with the fact that sex is, in fact, binary in humans.

Excellent question.

RRC is a fantastic woman 🤩

This is the question. No third gamete; no third sex. It really isn't hard.

This is amazing. I have tweeted it to my MP
