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.

Are you aware that two concepts are able to coexist? Are you aware that different types of vulnerable groups can be protected at the same time?

It's not a competition. They're not stealing taxis from other people.

WTF

And, unlike women, they have not been raped or murdered by taxi drivers?

Oh of course. No, transwomen are never raped or assaulted. Lucky for them.

Yeah, you're right. How outrageous that someone who is rape and assault proof should feel vulnerable.

So is this trans taxi service going to be staffed by trans drivers? Or by female drivers?

If the latter, I predict the supply of drivers will dry up after a few months, as women will find they prefer to work for regular taxi services.

So kark, if there is a dedicated trans service, do you think male transitioners (who consider themselves women) should be able to access women’s services?

Or are women allowed their own single sex service.

Sorry, have we entered a bizarre dimension where taxis are a single sex service?

Sorry, have we entered a bizarre dimension where taxis are a single sex service?

Yes, when women (biological female kind) want to set up or have a women-only (biological female only) services [not just taxis] to afford them safety. That's the problem.

Sorry, have we entered a bizarre dimension where taxis are a single sex service?

No

But there is an argument to be made that some taxis firms should offer a single sex service

Ok, cool.

What has that got to do with a taxi service specifically for trans women?

Sorry, have we entered a bizarre dimension where taxis are a single sex service?

So a group of vulnerable people have a service to ensure they are safe travelling and you think that's a bad idea?

What has that got to do with a taxi service specifically for trans women?

I refer you back to my OP, the point of which is that this service is being feted and publicised as amazing and great and wonderful (and yes, good for them).

Yet when women (by far the bigger victims in whole numbers and per capita) try and do the same thing (in any sphere) it is aggressively shut down as sexist/unacceptable/unnecessary/exclusionary/etc

Taxi services
Swimming
Rape centres
The list goes on and on.

What has that got to do with a taxi service specifically for trans women
Well see they are welcome to their taxi service so long as women (the cunty type women) can have a womens (the cunty type) taxi service.
There seems to be a huge problem with having both. No one seems to think that cunty women need a special taxi service or toilet or cunty HCPs or rape shelters only staffed by and used by cunty women.
But say your a transwoman and apparently everything you desire can be yours including special taxis.

Ok so it's nothing to do with trans women wanting to feel safe.

Fucksake, we can't even have meet up without someone phoning in a bomb threat and/or posting masked men at the doors to intimidate us.

Lesbians not allowed to have lesbian groups or places with other female homosexuals because it excludes the "male lesbians"

It's just a curse those trans people trying to make sure they don't get attacked after a night out thread.

Again, what the fuck

I didn't say tw shouldn't be safe. I didn't say I don't want tw to be safe.

If you want to make your own point, why not start your own thread about it instead of trying to constantly twist and derail this one to suit the responses you want to make?

I'm quite confident I can meet up with a group of women without anyone calling in a bomb threat.

Because you're prejudiced. That's why I've commented.

So kark, if there is a dedicated trans service, do you think male transitioners (who consider themselves women) should be able to access women’s services?

Or are women allowed their own single sex service.

Nice swerve there Kark, so I’ll ask again.

In a city where both a trans service and a woman’s service exist, should male transitioners (who believe they are women) be allowed to use the women’s service, or are women allowed a single sex service?

That has nothing to do with this, does it?

I'm quite confident I can meet up with a group of women without anyone calling in a bomb threat
Really well why dont you try advertising it as an event to talk solely about cunty womens issues, non issues, pick a subject. Then see who calls in bomb threats
More balls than fucking millwall that's us women

I believe the official term from the guidebook is "bigoted"
Especially when you throw it around in a completely baseless and meaningless fashion.

Like I said, you do you.

PS. Lets hope you don't live in Hastings then

Statistically, that's a ludicrous number of bomb threats. You must realise that is nonsense.

In what way is it proportionate to provide a public service that discriminates on the basis of being part of a group which, while it portrays itself as vulnerable is not actually so (trans identified men), but not to provide a public service that can discriminate on the basis of being part of a truly vulnerable group such as female, disabled, elderly, minority ethnicity etc?
