Special trans taxi services to keep them safe

[BuzzShitbagBobbly]

Hey BBC, where's our front-page promoted article and video interview about all the things women have done for and by each other, for centuries, to stay safe in public? No?

The "look at poor ickle us suffering from these things nobody has ever had to worry about before" is so infuriating. We have been living this shit forever.

I would prefer to only discuss taxis on this thread.

Words I didn't anticipate posting today!

Because I've been sexually assaulted and I don't appreciate being told it's not as bad as being raped. Or words that appear to convey that message. If that wasn't the intention, I apologise. Like I say, I'm quite touchy about it

It's not just you, maybe it wasn't intended but it does read that way - it reads like there's a hell of a lot of minimising going on, even if no-one will admit it

So a taxi driver says he is a woman, how does him saying this suddenly reduce the known risk to women, alone, in his taxi?

Apology accepted.
I hope you’ll reflect and understand that being sexually assaulted does not give you the right to tell women to get fucked.

I do think it is interesting that women who are touchy about the threat of men who say they women are bigots/minimising, but a woman saying she is touchy about the threat of women is totally allowed to be touchy about it.

JFC, are you for real? Wtaf is wrong with some on this board?!
I don't condone personal attacks, but I can see why when this is levelled at someone saying they've been attacked why they're being forthcoming from the poster!
Fucks sake.

We can't not discuss risk of assault from males. It's completely relevant to why women might want a female only taxi service.

To be fair karkasaurus you did bring up your own assault on this thread specifically to try to make a spurious point that women were irrational in wanting female single sex spaces and services. No one is diminishing that you were assaulted by a woman. It's just that men really do pose a much bigger risk than women.

I mean, women can't tell other women to get fucked now? Some really need to listen to themselves, as it happens a LOT on these boards if you don't happen to hang off every word and voice your own opinion.
Someone else does it and it's "you might have been sexually assaulted but that doesn't mean you can be upset and say that."
In the context, I'd say they have every right to be upset.
Just. W.T.A.F.

I don't condone personal attacks, but I can see why when this is levelled at someone saying they've been attacked why they're being forthcoming from the poster!

Many of us have been attacked. We are still able to critique the law and question why people seem unable to spot the problems with believing rapists who say they now women and woe betide anyone who questions this. It is quite shocking how gullible some people are who believe them.

Roses, are you ever going to have an actual point?

Roses, are you ever going to have an actual point?

I've given my views and opinion on the thread about trans taxis already, I'm never going to sit back and not pull up vile when it's dished out on here though when it comes up.
It's disgusting, it really is and I know you wish I'd just shut up and pretend it never happens.
Nope. I won't.

Never rose never has an actual point

Roses here's what I actually wrote: The boys who did that had the option, had they chosen to, to escalate to rape and put me at risk of pregnancy as I was post-menarche (just). No female-born person can ever escalate to rape

That's not minimising anyone's experience of sexual assault by a woman. It's stating a fact that said woman cannot commit rape. The thread context is risk to women. I am talking about the differing risks men and women pose to women.

it reads like there's a hell of a lot of minimising going on

There is, from you and other posters who are trying to claim that men are not the big threat to women that the stats show them to be. When you (plural) try to claim that women are as bad as men, or that the chance of a man raping us is tiny, you (plural) are minimising male violence and the effect that it has on women's lives.

When dealing with trans privilege activists, every accusation is an admission.

Only on this board would I be accused of bringing up a sexual assault to score points.

I'm bringing it up because it's relevant.

Roses and Kark it is revolting to tell other women to get fucked in a discussion that revolves sexual assault. Why can you not see that? What on earth makes you both think your behaviour is in any way tolerable.
Kark - you can keep your abusive comment telling me to get fucked. I do not accept it.

Exactly I mean... if people can't see what the fuck they're actually writing, there's no hope really.

Cmon rose make a point for once

Develop an argument and use it.

Roses and Kark it is revolting to tell other women to get fucked in a discussion that revolves sexual assault. Why can you not see that?

Yes it is!! But why is what you're doing to Kark who's been sexually assaulted any better?!
I mean, WTF, can you hear yourself?
I've never said that saying anyone saying get fucked is OK, it isn't OK. Just when it's being insinuated "never happens" or "vanishingly rare so not as important" (which it does come across as) I can see why she's upset and has said that.
Doesn't mean I agree with her saying that.
Just I can see why she got upset and said it.
FFS, can't believe the amount of explanation you have to go to on here to sometimes to try and clarify the bleedin obvious.

I'm bringing it up because it's relevant.

How is it relevant to why women fear men? Which was the point at which you brought it up? Why was that not minimising my rape and how I feel and the feelings of other women on the thread?

What ?

Bring the argument rose.

Cmon

Tbh it’s really hard to understand what it is you are saying
