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.

Is a taxi a women's service?

MartiniDry · 05/09/2019 16:26

Kark, when I book a woman only taxi service it's because I (an adult human female) wish to be transported by a woman (adult human female) driver.

I do not want to be driven by a person who has, or has ever had, a penis because that driver would be a man (an adult human male).

Do you have a problem with that?

Yes, you're prejudiced against having a trans taxi driver. I do think that's a shitty attitude, yes.

Is a taxi a women's service?

Is a taxi a trans person’s service?

Dammit, AnyOldPrion, I’ve got an ear worm now.

Karkasaurus · 05/09/2019 16:31

It's attitudes like that that make trans people want to have a trans only taxi service. So they don't have to be in a car with someone with a shitty attitude towards them.

Taxis are entirely gender neutral. There isn't a trans only service to avoid a particular gender. It's to avoid meeting anyone like the people on this thread when they are just trying to get to their destination.

Catchy, isn’t it.

Bit like gender critical feminism!

BeMoreMagdalen · 05/09/2019 16:33

Shitty attitude = not believing a male to be a female, which is relevant when a female is requested.

Oh, those women with their shitty attitudes, demanding respect and rights and boundaries.

S1naidSucks · 05/09/2019 16:35

There isn't a trans only service to avoid a particular gender.

Just to avoid those who aren’t trans.

Wanting a female sexed driver is prejudiced?

S1 how did you get those notes?

I was looking for notes, but didn’t manage to guess.

Apollo440 · 05/09/2019 16:36

How many female taxi drivers have murdered or raped their passengers. That would be none. So it isn't about not wanting a trans taxi driver ( although a transman would be fine) but about not wanting a male driver.

FreckledLeopard · 05/09/2019 16:36

Jeez, Karkasaurus, your comprehension skills are pretty poor.

No-one gives a flying fuck if it's a male or a trans woman. The two are the same (adult human males). Women (adult human females) may often object to sharing spaces with adult human males. For a variety of legitimate reasons.

You want to have women's services provided by men, good for you. Spare a thought of elderly women, Muslim women, rape victims, vulnerable females with addiction or mental health problems, who may not want men providing services to them, when they expect (and are entitled to expect) that such services will be provided by adult human females.

Refusing to get in a car with someone who has changed gender is shitty.

S1naidSucks · 05/09/2019 16:38

It’s a good job our LET THIS PENETRATE. I AM A WOMAN! isn’t on here, with all this singing about queens. That phobia and this song is a lethal combination.

ErrolTheDragon · 05/09/2019 16:40

Refusing to get in a car with someone who has changed gender is shitty.

It would be. Anyone disagree?

Prejudice: preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience..

Women who don't want to get into a car with males are basing this on reason and, unfortunately too often, actual experience.

Karkasaurus · 05/09/2019 16:40

A taxi is not a women's service.

Apollo440 · 05/09/2019 16:42

Of course refusing to get in a car with someone who is a transwoman would be shitty. But legitimate to refuse to get in a car with a male having ordered a female driver

It’s also not a tran’s service.
