Point 2. Read the mermaids and all sorts guidance for schools. Read the UK safeguarding framework. Note the points of contradiction.
Given your other comments, I'm having a hard time believing you on this, but I will check it at some point sure.
What do you mean by ‘allowing men to transition has no impact.’? Of course it does unless SEX based rights are clarified. If a woman is anyone who feels like one, then ‘woman’ is meaningless and any laws that prevent disadvantage based on sex are moot
Logically, this doesn't hold. Someone transitioning to a woman and having women's laws apply to them isn't going to impact how those laws apply to you. A transwomen being protected by laws designed to protect women would not have any impact on how you are protected by those laws. You will have to give a specific example, because there appears to be no legal basis for what you're trying to argue here.
It’s not that women have rights that men don’t - of course it isn’t hmm it’s about discriminating against women.
Again, laws that protect women from discrimination won't apply to you any less just because those laws would also protect a transwoman.
Point four: you’re not concerned that a convicted rapist and child abuser with previous for using ‘I’m a woman’ to get into a locked women’s psych ward and rape a woman’ was put in a women’s jail? A jail that had a mum and baby unit? Because ‘women do worse?’ Okidoki.*
Ok, that was a poor point on my end, but there are ways to stop transwomen who are convicted sex offenders from harming female prisoners, rather than force them into men's prisons where they could be raped or seriously harmed.
5: I didnt suggest transgirls are a danger. You did.
Yes you did. You said that transgirls showering with biological girls puts their safety at risk.
Im saying that Male predators (I’m not even talking about people identifying as the opposite sex, I’m talking about men who will use this loophole) can now access girls where they couldnt before. And they will.
As I already explained, having a law to prevent male sex offenders from entering women's toilets or changing rooms won't change anything. A sex offender is already breaking the law; having another law saying "you can't go in that room" isn't going to deter them.
Do you honestly think a male sex offender looks at a women's changing room and thinks "I really want to carry out a crime of sexual assault right now... But there's a law saying I can't go into women's changing rooms, so I guess I'm just going to turn around and go home now because I'm a law-abiding citizen"? Yeah, I didn't think so either.
If you are concerned about sexual assaults in changing rooms and toilets, better surveillance should be your concern. Not transwomen.
6. Of you’d like to discuss the impacts of puberty blockers and cross sex hormones I’m happy to do so. It’s fairly horrific.
An academic from Bristol uni among others is pushing for children to have legally recognised genders and to be legally recognised in their gender earlier. Mermaids et al say children are competent from age five. They are not. And doing so will have consequences for safeguarding
I trust that healthcare professionals who deal with these children have the best understanding of what's right for them, moreso than you or I. Saying that theyre doing this because of a weird men's sexual conspiracy is the stuff of pure fantasy.
Ahhh... and if it’s Male violence transwomen fear, then its men who need to shape up. Why are men not told to be less violent?
They are being told to be less violent. Violence against transwomen has legal repercussions. But a small minority of men will be violent no matter what they're told (even in a prison) and it's difficult to keep tabs on them 100% of the time (yes, even in a prison), so the best solution is to remove the transwoman from harm.
Suggesting that transwomen should have to stay in a man's prison, and that we should just tell prisoners to be less violent, is an outrageous suggestion. Should we tell female victims of domestic abuse to stay with their husbands, and just tell the husband to be less violent? Does it not make more sense to remove a domestic abuse victim from the crime and find a safer place for her instead?
Why is making toilets mixed sex making anyone safer? It isn’t. Using your argument a man could just follow a transwoman on anyway.
It doesn't, but nor is it more dangerous. Personally though, I don't quite understand the motivation behind unisex toilets; but in terms of male Vs female toilets, I think it's silly to try to force transwomen, who look completely female, to use the men's toilets.
