Self-identifying as a woman - I'm confused.

[SmartiesHaveTheAnswer]

Reading this from another thread I'm following. Can someone explain it to me please? I know what it means in terms of MtF Trans folk, but why should Women lose out on places in a political party because women don't also Self ID? What's that all about?

Sorry - my name doesn't pop up that often. I'm a long time peak-transed lurker that sticks my head up once in a while when something crops up that confuses me. Lots has confused me, but I'm getting there.

It also helps with reporting past sins, from before the new stone tablets, with certain words crossed out, were handed down. Don't feed the trolls. Their appetite for attention is literally insatiable.

The fact that a person's gender has become the acquired gender under this Act (a) does not affect the descent of any peerage or dignity or title of honour, and (b) does not affect the devolution of any property.

Do I laugh hollowly at this one or despair or just smile knowingly...?

The next time I need to point out that men never shuffle up on the power bench to let women in I shall use this.
