And me.
If anyone's here because they are looking for the hateful bigotry India Willoughby suggested was rife on the site, let me say a few things.
I think most transwomen, like most people, are perfectly decent people, and should be allowed to go about their lives without threat of violence or unpleasantness. In case you hadn't noticed, it's not radical feminists who attack and murder transwomen. That would be men.
When I meet a transperson, I don't hate them or feel phobic toward them - but I do think they've signed up to a sexist world view that I can't subscribe to, just like I feel like someone who's a Tory or a Christian subscribes to a set of beliefs about the world that I don't support or agree with.
Gender is no more real than racial stereotypes - gendered behaviour is something that some people perform, indeed most of us, to an extent, but it isn't innate and it isn't inevitable. I think everyone should wear what they like, be named as they please, put whatever make up they like... but I don't believe 'woman' is something intrinsic to you. I'm not a 'cis woman', because I don't subscribe to or accept sexist stereotypes any more than a transman does. But I do know that I'm a woman - I don't think I can change into being a man, and I certainly don't think that would be an answer to rejecting sexist stereotypes.
I feel like a woman when I'm worried my period's going to leak onto the back of nmy skirt in a meeting. Biology. And then I feel like a woman in a different way when I go to the loo and there's a massive queue whilst the men wander in and out of the gents' really quickly - then, I feel like a woman because of the way society treats me.
I don't 'feel like a woman' when I'm wearing make-up, making particular consumer choices, behaving in particular ways. Because that's not me being a woman, that's me being me. Everyone should be able to do that.
And no, I don't think someone who's infertile, or has had a hysterectomy, is less of a woman. The reason people have hysterectomies is... because they're women! That too is an exclusively female experience.
The problem with telling little girls that boys can now come into their toilets or join the guides, for me, isn't that they're at risk of sexual abuse (I mean, statistically they are, but that's not my issue). The issue is that we're then telling girls 'you're not a girl because of your body: you're a girl because of how you choose to behave. And x y and z are all Girl Behaviours - so if this other kid is doing them, he's a girl. And if you're really a girl, you should be doing them too'.
Trans ideology is, for me, sexist, out-dated, regressive, and nonsensical. There's no 'female soul' or 'male soul' - there are bodies, and there is behaviour. There's no gender fairy who sometimes gets it wrong. There are bodies, and we need to choose where we go from there.
In a world of Girls Toys and Boys Toys, where right from day one certain expectations of you are made based on your body, it's not surprising that some people reject those expectations and sometimes that rejection then makes the step of thinking they'd rather enact the expectations of the other kind of body. If we could just try, for a few decades, to say 'having a female body means that your body will likely grow in this way' and nothing else - not, having a female body means you're kind, caring, bossy, bitchy, submissive, make-up loving... then I have to wonder whether fewer people would feel they were 'in the wrong body', if bodies meant only what they do mean.
SOME PEOPLE ARE RADICAL FEMINISTS: GET OVER IT.
