Are we allowed to not respect someone's gender identity if they're a predator, Esther? Or are they no longer a transwoman once they do something horrible, because no real transwoman would do that?
Well, indeed. If you believe fully in the logic of self-ID - that someone is the sex they say they are - then we have to accept that sexual predators like Jonathan Yaniv are really women. No questions, no argument.
On the other hand, if you think that Jonathan Yaniv is a sexual predator and therefore not really a woman, then you accept that self-ID is flawed. You admit that not every man who says he's a woman is a woman.
So which is it, Esther? You don't get to pick and choose. Either Jonathan Yaniv is really a woman, or the very premise of self-ID is flawed. Make your mind up.
