This is where we reach an impasse. Because what you are calling 'males' I consider women.
So you think that women are both male and female? Can I ask then, what is your category word for adult females of the human species? For foxes it's vixen, for pigs it's sow, for horses it's mare. What do we call adult human females when we need to distinguish them from adult human males?
They are recognised as women by the law.
Which law? AFAIK, the Gender Recognition Act 2004 only considers males who have a gender recognition certificate to be legally but not biologically female and specifically includes a clause allowing subsequent laws to override its provisions. Which the Equality Act 2010 does. But even the Gender Recognition Act caveats this recognition - for aristocratic titles for instance, a male with a GRC remains male to ensure that no younger brother can leapfrog the transitioned (and legally female) heir.
And the law itself as well as the UK Parliament made clear at the time that the common people are not expected to believe the legal fiction created through a GRC. As private individuals we are under no obligation to accept this.
More women recognize them as women than do not.
Again, please give some sources. We know that the vast majority of people believe this refers to fully transitioned, post-operative, homosexual transsexuals. Even though this group makes up make up less than ten percent of transsexuals, late-onset non-homosexual transsexuals have always been overshadowed by them.
So there's a small number of post-op homosexual transsexuals who many women have traditionally and graciously accepted. Not as actual women, but as good as.
However, when it comes to the vast majority of transgender males, those who have transitioned in middle age as well as those with no intention to do so, few accept them as women.
Which is made clear in the responses when the question is explicitly asked about these males.
They consider themselves women - now picture a passing trans woman like Katy Montgomerie, not, say, Eddie Izzard (though some women do look like Eddie Izzard...) - that is to me, and the world, a woman, whatever sex they were born.
So you're a transmed, eh? Not really a believer in the doctrine of gender identity after all?
You may perceive KM as a woman. I do not. Perception is subjective. Like most survivors of male violence, I am hypervigilant. My lizard brain recognises males as male, no matter what. Especially if they've been through male puberty. I'll not go into detail, because I don't want to discuss an individual. It's just the way it is.
I've talked before about an incident where I was hyper-aware that a man was standing behind me. I hadn't seen him, he hadn't said anything. I still knew it was a man. (Which helped me in that situation). That was my other senses telling me. I've also talked to two blind lassies who shared how uncomfortable all this aggression around identities makes them - lacking visual clues, they rely on their other senses and those senses unerringly tell them what sex someone is. It's not transphobic. It's just the way our brains work. We're hardwired to recognise sex.
And they face tremendous hostility on top of the struggle their life has been.
The trans community is vast. Are you now talking exclusively about homosexual transsexuals?
I want them to feel welcome.
Welcome where? In female-only spaces? Do you wish to make women and girls who are excluded from these spaces if males are included feel welcome too or can they GTF?
I want everyone to make allowances to make these human beings who have done nothing wrong, feel they belong in this society.
What allowances? Specifically?
And do you want to make allowances for women and girls who cannot access mixed-sex provisions, who also have done nothing wrong, to make them feel, they too belong in this society?
