Feminism: Sex and gender discussions
piedbeauty · 06/04/2023 08:57

I thought that Debbie Hayton was clear that you can't change sex and that TW are men??

Has Debbie changed their mind recently on this?

But then Debbie should state that the school guidance is wrong and needs removing. I don't think this has happened.

Debbie has been asked directly on here to state this. He has always refused.

HipTightOnions · 06/04/2023 09:00

I always wonder whether Debbie's pupils are expected to call him Sir or Miss.

I know she's not a woman and so does she

And yes rejection of stereotypes is grand but it's also not where the eWorld is at

If you are to "live as a women "you should live as women live now with all their hang ups and insecurities - it should be in your behaviour not in your choice of clothes and falsies

To be honest it was a comment for the people on the video in case they were watching

People frequently state that they are happy for people to live as they like, dress how they like as long as they don't mistake gender for sex

Debbie may not be perfect but I think she goes a long way to representing this yet people still want to bash her ?

If you are to "live as a women "you should live as women live now with all their hang ups and insecurities - it should be in your behaviour not in your choice of clothes and falsies

A man can't live as a woman. "Woman" is no more a behaviour than it is a costume. A woman is a person with a female body who behaves in any way.

Debbie wrote the NASUWT trans guidance which states boys and men should be allowed in women's and girls' spaces. Debbie has been asked repeatedly on this forum and others if he now disagrees with the guidance he wrote. He never responds.

MarinaRhinella · 06/04/2023 09:19

"There were seven women convicted of sex crimes today". Is this a fact-free zone? Surely he's just making this up, without being challenged?

NecessaryScene · 06/04/2023 09:20

Debbie wrote

We're heading into "making stuff up about people" area here, or at least distortion, I think, unless there's something I've missed.

The impression I've always got about that document was that it was like many other Stonewall/GIDS-templated "trans-inclusive" documents produced around the same era, and Hayton's name appeared on it as having provided input - presumably as one of the few (only?) "trans" people in within NASUWT itself at the time. (Predating the current surge of everyone and their dog being "trans" or "NB").

Is there anything to suggest otherwise? The generous interpretation here could be "Stonewalled organisation published Stonewall advice - Hayton failed to totally block it, and won't publicly disown that specific document". Maybe it would have been even worse without his input?

(I've not studied it - is it notably better or worse than any other org's?)

ZuttZeVootEeeVo · 06/04/2023 09:23

If I'd been partly responsible for half the country losing their rights, I'd think I'd have the grace not to go onto TV and say how shocking it was that half the country had lost their rights.

This.

Women are 51% of the UK population but apparently not a single one could be found for this interview.

I heard that, it's not true or if there are 7 "women" who were convicted if sex crimes today, we all know which type of "women" they were.

Flowerly · 06/04/2023 09:25

Frida ably demonstrating why women do not want to have to share our single sex spaces with massive, aggressive men.

I think he is referring to the women who were part of a grooming gang. Actually there were eight, but we can’t expect factual accuracy, even in a ‘righteous cause’.

Hayton has written before how pupils now use Miss after the transitioning. Again, that hasn't changed as far as I know

BiologicalKitty · 06/04/2023 09:30

DH is just as much an AGP as anyone else who enjoys larping as a woman. DH has admitted this.

I will never understand why women think DH is special or worth listening to.

Is it because DH dresses like a harmless school marm? Although even that has been changing into more sexualised clothing over time.

My bad, it's got to be a rare day that 7 women are convicted of such crimes. And no wonder we are skeptical when lots of other convictions are for men pretending.

@BiologicalKitty I thought you were talking about your husband for a minute there

Tanith · 06/04/2023 09:41

Is "Frida" Freda Wallace?
If so, Freda is always unpleasant and aggressive. Freda appears to hate women so much, it's a mystery why Freda ever wanted to become one.

No husbands for me! 😆

The article specifically singles out the 8 women out of the 21 NOT because the Daily Mail is being sexist but because its more newsworthy specifically because it is much rarer for women to be convicted of CS offences (though grimly pretty much all child grooming gangs will contain at least one woman the majority are usually male, and solitary offenders are pretty much always male). So it doesn't prove what Frida thinks it proves

Boiledbeetle · 06/04/2023 13:02

Thank you Freda for that wonderful example of why we want men to stay the fuck out of our spaces.

It is because DH is honest, and also understands biological reality.

The exchange is also very revealing about a core issue though. Frida thinks that the fact that Debbie Hayton doesn't "conduct herself as a woman" (in other words access female spaces) means that they are not an actual woman or genuinely trans. Whereas the fact that Frida does use female spaces is the core proof that they are a woman. so the two viewpoints go:
Gender critical > a biological male enters a female only space. That space is no longer female only
TRA> a biological male enters a female only space. This man is now female

Its why the constant solutions offered - live your life as you want, dress how you want, create third spaces to be safe etc is never going to be enough for people like Frida. Because by that logic denying them access to anywhere at all women are allowed to be is literally denying their right to exist. Its not just rhetoric. Sigh.

Not so much thin end of the wedge, as slim sliver of the cake.

And we know that men love to hog the whole cake, and then moan there isn't more.

I know I do!

Always interesting to observe how those in favour of 'trans rights' treat trans people who go off message. Demonstrates as with the LGB thing, it is not about supporting the diverse group, it's about trying to limit that group to a political movement and punish and exclude the non conformists.

I find too it's a mistake to see it as 'identifying as' or 'joining'. The desire in fact usually when explored is not to join, but to replace.

Jonei · 06/04/2023 13:52

I think it's been a long journey for DH, but it's good to see the position they are now taking.
