The girls found a naked man in the women's shower, which they objected to, describing him as a 'predator'.

The police investigated and said that actually, sorry girls, he's not a man, she's a woman, so STFU, basically.

It does beg the question of what is the appropriate response when a girl finds a naked man in the changing room, as there doesn't seem to be any possible way to distinguish a 'naked man' from a 'transwoman', nor indeed whether it is safe to be around that person's penis (common sense and practice for basically the entire world's population except those gaslit by TRAs says 'no')

I think a new thread might be good, Drifting.

I don't understand. If smear tests and period products can be just for "people with vaginas", why can't we just declare changing rooms/public toilets/sports teams as being for "people with vaginas"? It might be dehumanising but at least it would keep everyone safe

Oh what? I didn't realise it was old. Damnit!

Because that misses the whole point of what is wanted.

Female/ male are still mainly not gone so there's no need to have penises referenced on bog doors!

I think you have misunderstood the reason why it's so important for the TW to have access to the women's spaces. And I'm not saying it's for predatory reasons - they need it for validation. SOME may also have other reasons. That's why they don't accept the option of 3rd spaces - it's "othering".

And I'm not saying it's for predatory reasons - they need it for validation.
This will be the next goalpost-move.

"We never said we were actually going to get beaten up in the gents', that's why there are no reports of it happening. Its just bad for our mental health if we can't get that sweet, sweet validation. And masturbating in public toilets is normal! All women do it. Have we mentioned how violent and dangerous lesbians are?" etc etc

whether or not there are any provisions in California law that specifically mention the arousal state of genitals in spaces like locker rooms
Which there won't be, so Merager could get away with having an erection in the women's section.
Then we could have a debate on whether transwomen are discriminated against because their penises show arousal whereas other women can hide their own arousal. And there will be some muppetty women who proudly claim that they get off in changing rooms and toilets all the time and that it's all perfectly normal.

@Bowlofbabelfish

An entire cohort of girls and young people with no ability to enforce boundaries. Who feel they can’t say no due to social and authority pressure. Who have no expectation of rights to bodily privacy and dignity. Fearing punishment for speaking out or describing the reality in front of them. Putting men’s sexual rights and fetishes before everything.

What could possibly go wrong?

This is our society,the one we are in the process of making; this is the future for our girls.

This is why we object to the distortions around us, and why women are shouting. We know where this loosening of boundaries will go, if it's allowed to continue; unfortunately that's exactly what the MRA's want, untrammelled access to and power over women and children.

@Mummyoflittledragon - I misquoted it a bit but I finally found it.

Yes. Because the GRA is, as it always has been, a legal fiction to allow some transgender individuals live their lives more freely, free from casual discrimination.

It always stopped short of saying human beings can change sex and the issue with transmen and inheritance of titles is the most glaring example of where a GRC stops.

We need to be pointing this out, loudly and often, rather than decrying it. The law may be 'a ass' but it is usually quite clear about where the pleasantries and accommodations stop.

A GRC is a politeness, not permission to steamroll your way over anyone who disagrees with you

Still less is it self id, which really doesn't exist!!!

Oops! Didn't see the year on the earliest posts.

Sorry!

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 20/09/2021 16:57

@CuriousaboutSamphire - don't worry, it's a continuation because the Wi Spa flasher is the same person as in the OP's links, one of which no longer works.
It's not a real zombie thread!

CuriousaboutSamphire · 20/09/2021 17:09

Ooh! I'm on my phone and can't see all posts immediately. I feel less of a twonk now, thanks 🙂

Mummyoflittledragon · 20/09/2021 21:18

@ThumbWitchesAbroad
Thanks. Um 😐 maybe wishing you hadn’t?! Woah on the “gender euphoria”. This seems like a wet dream of a desire to be the focal point. Where better than in a place, where one sticks out the most? Bonus points for getting all the women pom pom waving supporters and gaining access to their intimate spaces.

NiceGerbil · 20/09/2021 23:16

I think that an argument on arousal could be-

It can happen spontaneously esp when younger
There are no such obvious signs of sexual arousal with a woman
Women could be aroused and no one would notice
As it can be spontaneous it's unfair to class it as because of anything/ people actually around
Being punished for an uncontrollable natural harmless function of a male body is totally unfair when women could be aroused. I am a woman my body just behaves differently I can't help it. Discrimination.
