How language has changed in 6 years

[Plasmodesmata]

Compare and contrast these two news reports, one from today, and the other from 2016.

Yup

Nope, sadly they don't. They often change an article's headline throughout the day, but keep the same url and don't acknowledge that either.

So the complaints have achieved something. Good!

That said, it shows the absurdity of the quotes from the charities up even more. How can a charity purport to support women and be focused on women's issues when it won't mention us by name?

If you don’t care about what language we use, why are you even here?

This is conspiratorial nonsense. Trans women want nothing less than to simply be free to live as women.

Then they can away and leave women (and women's spaces, and women's rights) alone, can't they?

No conspiratorial nonsense and as a wise woman on Twitter said.

Removing women's ability to describe themselves as a group is the ultimate act of male oppression.

Can you answer my question about why you are here if you don’t even care what language we use? Was it just to monitor and hector women on a Sunday morning for fun then?

Guardian comment

"Systemic racism within UK maternity care is risking the safety of people from Black, Asian and mixed ethnicity backgrounds, often with devastating consequences, according to a report by the childbirth charity Birthrights"

But no, there's no proof that the word woman is being eliminated from public discourse.

I started another thread about that report @Mandodari and linked to a bbc article which only talks about women, not people.

Inquiry finds widespread racism in maternity care www.mumsnet.com/Talk/feminism/4554849-inquiry-finds-widespread-racism-in-maternity-care

I realised reading the article again how much easier it is to read. I don't have to constantly figure out who they are talking about. It just really obscures the actual point of the article.

You seem to be suggesting we introduce social and legal enforcement against gravity. To claim that if someone is distressed by the effects of gravity, they can apply for an exemption so that the laws of physics do not apply.

This is a good illustration, actually, of the problem with the GRA. The idea that one can 'change sex' is a legal fiction. It's not reflective of reality, which is why we are all in this ridiculous situation.

You expect trans people to accept an inferior status to yourself.

I did not read on this thread a rationale about how being known as a trans woman would be an 'inferior' status?

I have seen a person though who seems to wish to have the majority of people redefined for their personal needs. I have also seen this " Transwomen want nothing less than to simply be free to live as women. "

But they are not women except in their own redefined language, forced through in some dictionaries. Dictionaries can be changed back with enough political pressure. However, material reality will persist.

Therefore, no transitioned male can simply be free to live as a woman in all aspects of life. There will be times when sex matters. It must be infuriating that women, those pesky adult human females, won't give ground on issues where sex matters. You can continue to try to deny it all over the threads you are on, but it simply doesn't change. Just like that material reality I mentioned.
