“He has on two separate occasions subjected women to violent acts in what should be a safe and private space.”

@Shizuku

Who are male.

@Shizuku

Sex is binary. There is an X chromosome, or a Y one. Until a third is discovered, sex is binary.

Zig4zag · 19/03/2021 19:38

Was he identifying as a female at the time.

@Gottalife

So to sum up this logic.

Men attack women in women's toilets.
Women attack women in women's toilets.
Solution : Ban trans women.

Males have always been banned from women's spaces so banning transwomen isn't exactly a new surprising idea.

It's so simple. Women shouldn't be expected to give up their safe spaces because it makes some male people feel sad.

Sounds like you haven't progressed beyond the old "sex is a simple binary trope". You need to read more science.

We've discussed the science, and you were found wanting. But do post your compelling open letter again, I'm sure everyone wants to read a bunch of ideology motivated bandwagon jumpers who mostly aren't in relevant scientific fields sticking it to Trump by saying they don't believe in biological sex.

Wondermule · 19/03/2021 19:40

By saying sex isn’t binary in this context, you’re making out being trans is synonymous with being intersex. Do you think if the chromosomes of trans people were studied, they would all be intersex?

GNCQ · 19/03/2021 19:45

Sounds like you haven't progressed beyond the old "sex is a simple binary trope". You need to read more science.

I'd love to hear more about this "new science" proving sex isn't binary

"Intersex people exist and this proves sex isn't binary" gender ideology myth 100.

(Yes people with DSD do indeed exist, and there are disorders of development that affect male humans, and disorders that affect female humans, these various disorders have different names and they more often than not render an adult infertile, not turning them into some sort of other sex....)

So. Let's hear it Shizuku!

Wondermule · 19/03/2021 19:53

I’m really excited to find out about this other sex chromosome, I was getting so bored of X and Y and various combinations of them!

Who are you posting this for?

You have repeatedly attempted to prove your points with journalists interpretations of research papers

When the woman on this board go and find the papers the articles you post are based on, and go through them in forensic detail pointing out they don't say what you think they say, explaining exactly why, you ignore them and just repeat your tired talking points.

And the third gamete, some really historic discoveries being made!

You need to qualify that: "In the human species" etc.

Useless science with which to educate:
Birds, some fish and crustaceans such as the giant river prawn, some insects (including butterflies and moths), the schistosome family of flatworms, and some reptiles, e.g. the majority of snakes, lacertid lizards and monitors including Komodo dragons have ZW sex determination. Arachnids, Paleopteran insects, most exopterygote insects, (e.g. grasshoppers, crickets and cockroaches), some nematodes, crustaceans, gastropod molluscs and bony fish (notably in the genus Ancistrus), several mammals including a few species of bat (the hammer-headed bat, Buettikofer's epauletted fruit bat, Franquet's epauletted fruit bat, Peters's epauletted fruit bat, and Gambian epauletted fruit bat) and the Ryukyu spiny rat have an Xo system, in which females carry XX and males have either a single X or no sex-determining chromosome at all.

None of which is of the slightest relevance to human reproduction, but I thought I'd just get in first.

adviceseekingnamechanger · 19/03/2021 20:33

Why are we pretending toilets are segregated by gender? If they were, we would need 100 different toilets, so that neutrois, demigender, agender people etc. would have their own bathrooms. Except of course that isn't the case.

Toilets are segregated by sex. You use the toilet of the sex you were born with that is immutable, regardless of how you look or feel.

Women - of the female sex - have a right and a need to single-sex spaces. This is obvious. Trans women BY DEFINITION are of the male sex and therefore do not belong in women's toilets.

Wondermule · 19/03/2021 20:35

@AskingQuestionsAllTheTime

Indeed. Maybe transwomen could identify as Paleopteran insects, to prove sex isn’t binary?

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 19/03/2021 20:43

But are single-sex facilities geared for 140lb insects?

hi Gotta

can you clarify which meaningful ways that transwomen differ from men please.

Obviously everyone is who they say they are so can you also clarify how we can differentiate transwomen from men who say they are transwomen for nefarious purposes?

Is there a 'tell' in the way that I can generally tell a male in a confined space even with my back turned?

@Ereshkigalangcleg

It's strange that none of these rapists have been pretending to be FTM before really, isn't it?
About as strange as the fact that none of them have pretended to be mtf either. The rapist in the op isn’t trans and has nothing to do with trans women yet here’s a thread reeeing about them as usual.
CuriousaboutSamphire · 22/03/2021 14:18

I think you may have failed to join all of the dotted lines and jumped straight to a conclusiuon that is not based on what has actually been posted!

Men - should never be in female safe spaces. No matter how they present. Men, all men!

how do you know he isn't trans? Not everyone is 'out' you know. I think you are making a big assumption here pp.

gardenbird48 · 22/03/2021 14:24

I'm not saying he is trans btw. Just that you have no way of telling.

In the same way that we have no way of telling which male is safe and which isn't so we need to exclude all for our safety and privacy.

merrymouse · 22/03/2021 19:20

Trans/not trans is completely irrelevant.

Organisations are changing policies to suggest that people should choose facilities according to their own level of comfort, whatever that means to them.

Hey, happy to post it again:

Anyone can simply look at the list of names and their disciplines to see if "most" are not working in relevant fields. You'll find that they are - it's right there staring you in the face.

Even when it only had 1600 signatories, it had already been signed by over 700 biologists, over 100 geneticists, and nine Nobel Prize winners:

You should start a campaign to ban male cleaners from women's toilets. Funny how that never seems to come up on this site.

"You have repeatedly attempted to prove your points with journalists interpretations of research papers"

Hmm, is that a bit like starting a thread about a rapist who isn't trans to make a point about trans women?

Having just read the article and the letter, they don’t appear to be disputing that sex is binary (in humans), they appear rather, to be talking about gender and saying they don’t believe that is binary. They even mention sex so it does appear they aren’t talking about the same thing
” As scientists, we are compelled to write to you, our elected representatives, about the current administration’s proposal to legally define gender as a binary condition determined at birth”
“There are no genetic tests that can unambiguously determine gender, or even sex”

Male cleaners close the toilets they are working in so a woman would not go in there when he is in there.
