Some men have uteruses. Some women don't. I have a uterus and also happen to identity as a woman.

Only by a very bizarre, new and made-up definition of male and female which denies, dismisses and undermines my identity as a woman and that of many other men and women, girls and boys. Many of us are very distressed at our identities being annihilated in this way and it has serious effects on our lives.

No. Sex segregation comes from outdated notions of modesty and purity. Not out of a historic concern with women's safety

You are ignorant of history. Prisons, psychiatric wards, public toilets (in inns etc) and even hotel rooms (commonly shared by strangers in the past) used to be mixed sex. Women were constantly assaulted and had to campaign for single sex facilities for their own safety.

No one is pure of heart. Women certainly aren't.

Datun asked more politely. Please answer the question, rather than deflecting.

At what point of transitioning do you think men’s behaviour changes?

I don't buy your statistics re trans women.

You are quite into rejecting cold hard facts aren't you?

My own theory is that men wanted to control and isolate women because they wanted to know the babies were biologically theirs. Just my theory though. I'm not an anthropologist.

This is probably true to some extent. More than one thing can be true at the same time though.

Do you think perhaps that society back then was also aware of how exactly women and girls ended up pregnant by a man who wasn't their husband? Do you think all those men just asked nicely?

Datun · 24/02/2024 17:56

Well let's just start from that then.

What is it, in your opinion, that makes a man suddenly less likely to commit assault, if he identifies as a woman and can therefore access women's spaces.

(I can give you the statistics, but I think you need to get there in a different way)

I'm not going to 'get there.'

Male on female sexual violence is a product of the patriarchy. Trans women have a different relationship to patriarchy than cis men.

So women were oppressed then...because 👏of 👏their 👏..BIOLOGY

I don't trust any statistics from the MoJ.

Similar figures from the US and Australia. The MOJ must have a wide reach 🤔

No one is pure of heart. Women certainly aren't.

That wasn't really the question.

The question is, what stops a man from being part of the sex class who commit 98% of sex crime, just by saying he's not a man?

And, crucially, could therefore access women when they're fucking half naked.

I think trans women are women before they transition.

You're actually just beyond ridiculous. I also believe you're a man that wants to be a woman.

Can you please explain how that happens?

How do men who say they are women, and therefore want to access women's single sex spaces, not conform to patriarchy?

Is it because they say so?

Yet they've ended up caught up in an oppression that began due to biology, but ended up a lot more complicated.

So all men on the planet are just pre transitioned women? 😂

Trans women have a different relationship to patriarchy than cis men.

So are you arguing that men who claim they are women act differently from other men?

Why would you believe that?

There is evidence to suggest that even men undergoing medical transition continue to commit criminal acts, including violence, at the same rate as other men.

Well you're going to have to explain that. Come ON.

Well no, because you said:

I'm a man? Better call off the IVF I'm about to start then. Total waste of time.

Why would IVF be a waste of time for a man, if you think men have uteruses? And why would you think that saying you were about to start IVF, would prove you were not a man?

You don't even believe the crap you are espousing here. I call shenanigans.

Gender zealots aren't known for logical or consistency.

nah, i reckon there is more than one person, I liked the one before this one, she was better. This is just some young guy

How can we tell the difference between a “real” trans woman and a “pretend” trans woman?

Fuck me. If you think any of this is fucking convenient then I don't know what to say to you

do you think it's a fucking convenience that vulnerable, incarcerated women should be put in prison with rapists?

Do you think it's fucking convenient that young girls spend all their formative years perfecting their athletic performance, only to be pipped at the fucking post by mediocre boys who don't stand a chance competing against their own sex?

Fucking convenient
