Well @Helleofabore I'm sorry that you have such an entrenched position. Im sure "readers " on this board ( how pompous you are) will be scared to speak out against you because you are so very very certain in your views. Getting your wee gang of mean girls to wait for me to come back "from supper". I'm definitely not trans just a straight white middle aged born as a woman who can't see why one disadvantaged group - women - should allow ourselves to be led into bigotry against trans people, another disadvantaged group. If people identify as women I'm happy to accept them. I don't want to be dragged into divide and conquer by right wing media and groups like the Christian Institute. And Trump.
Woman is a very broad definition and I have as much in common with trans women as I do with you. But you're never going to accept or understand this are you?

Is this the two rats stitched together to prove that the male rat can have a baby (as long as he's got access to a nice fresh pregnant actual female blood supply)? Is it that one?

Is it the one where "scientists" keep telling us that uterus transplants into transwomen will be a reality ANY DAY NOW (with the uterus harvested from a transman, and presumably the stitched on female handmaiden recruited from the "be kind" crew). That one?

Where 17 out of 27 baby rats born (most embryos didn't survive to full-term and there were lots of malformed dead rat fetuses recovered from the male rats) died in the first day after being born.

midgemadgemodge · 09/02/2023 18:42

What bigotry has been demonstrated here ?

Did you report it ?

Or did you imagine it ?

nilsmousehammer · 09/02/2023 18:45

The belief that male people change sex is just that. A belief. The belief that a male person stays male whatever their inner feelings is another belief. It's the one backed up by fact and reality though.

But this being a women's rights forum, the interest here and the focus of all these threads is about the rights of women to privacy, dignity, safety and spaces away from male people regardless of how the male person happens to feel about it. Because the world doesn't revolve around male people, and not all female people feel that the primary duty 'assigned to them at birth' is to be enablers to male people.

nilsmousehammer · 09/02/2023 18:46

So you'll find these threads about how to protect women's rights from the encroachment and trampling of trans ideology. It would be a bit odd to expect a women's rights forum to not be.

If you find the protection of women's rights transphobic, then whatever. I find trans ideology quite spectacularly misogynistic, exclusionary, unkind and bigoted. YMMV.

Woman is a very broad definition and I have as much in common with trans women as I do with you. But you're never going to accept or understand this are you?

Did you forget to link to the studies explaining or showing how humans have changed sex and become capable of producing the opposite sex gametes?

You can only have the same biological sex (gonads, genitals, chromosomes and gametes) as a woman OR a transwoman.

midgemadgemodge · 09/02/2023 19:00

And genitals and a few physical things directly related to that is the only thing I have in common with most of the people on here

Otherwise I have as much in common with men as women

Which is why I dislike any gender assumption - I'm as much masculine as feminine like most people I know

NecessaryScene · 09/02/2023 19:01

I can assure you I have far more in common with transwomen than you do, being male.

But then if you think your statement is true, then you also have as much in common with transwomen as you do with me.

Which is all lovely in a general fluffy huggy "be nice" sense, but I certainly wouldn't demand entry to your prison, no matter how much I would obviously prefer to be in an otherwise-female prison. (I mean, what man wouldn't?)

Cos I'm not a dick and I don't hate women, and hence don't think it a good idea to let any man with a sob story about being "vulnerable" into their spaces.

But clearly a lot of transwomen do hate women, or are at least not smart enough to figure out the "I hope you brought enough for everybody" principle they should have been taught in primary school.

I could equally say that women having a right to women only spaces is also a belief.
It's the same human rights legislation that supports both positions.
Rights for me but not for thee.
Everyone is entitled to dignity, privacy and safety.

This post actually has me laughing.

I have an entrenched position? Of what exactly?

That humans cannot change sex? Oh yes! You caught me out?

What other 'entrenched' position do I have? That males should not be in female single sex spaces? Yep! Right again. And what makes me laugh is that trans people themselves tell us that they also agree! So, either you are making false claims on behalf of some extreme activists, some of which are not even trans people, or you are claiming that all trans people are a monolith.... which not one of the feminist posters on this thread have claimed. Have you? Is that how you see trans people?

"Getting your wee gang of mean girls to wait for me to come back "from supper"."

Blimey, I seem to be your target.

While I am waiting for you to post where I have used bullying language, please also include where I have been involved in orchestrating 'my wee gang of mean girls'.

You seem to be very confused here, or are you just flinging out whatever you think will stick.

"I'm definitely not trans just a straight white middle aged born as a woman who can't see why one disadvantaged group - women - should allow ourselves to be led into bigotry against trans people, another disadvantaged group. If people identify as women I'm happy to accept them. I don't want to be dragged into divide and conquer by right wing media and groups like the Christian Institute. And Trump."

There is that 'bigotry' you keep mentioning without any evidence at all.

Who the fuck is mentioning "right wing media and groups like the Christian Institute. And Trump."? You!

You really are flinging out whatever trope you have read and expecting readers to not have enough awareness to tell that it is unfounded.

"Woman is a very broad definition and I have as much in common with trans women as I do with you. But you're never going to accept or understand this are you?"

Please post exactly what you have in common with a male with a trans identity without resorting to stereotypes and falsehoods.

Exactly what you have in common.

I am never going to accept males cannot change sex. And there is nothing to understand. If you do, please post that evidence.

If you can't, why the fuck should ANYBODY accept your point of view?

But maybe, just maybe, you should stop this dishonest posting and making dishonest accusations.

ismu · 09/02/2023 19:04

Oh @NecessaryScene is that you, @glinner?

midgemadgemodge · 09/02/2023 19:04

But at least it's a belief that is

Widely accepted

Backed up with evidence that the "harm" it causes is less than the externally measured benefit from it

Excellent!

So you must agree that the best way to give EVERYBODY dignity & privacy is to provide male single sex spaces, female single sex spaces and extra third mixed-sex provision for those who don’t feel their birth sex space is suitable for them.

This solution has the bonus of providing something for nonbinary identifying people of both sexes who are usually shit out of luck for nonbinary prisons, hospital wards, changing rooms etc.

So good we can agree.

No, because you just typed Glinner’s own username: @Glinner

Is this some sort of "all men look the same to me" thing?

Sounds kinda sexist. 😂

ismu · 09/02/2023 19:10

@Helleofabore I don't actually have to post any "evidence" because I don't have a view that you share on sex and gender. I don't think it's solely based on biology, whereas you do.
I also think these long litanies are a hell of a bore! We aren't in the court. "M'lud I rest my case that man can't be women."

I just disagree with you, and this has nothing to do with women's rights or feminism. People doing bad things are wrong, but just being a trans person is a crime in itself for you, it seems.

ismu · 09/02/2023 19:11
