This, in a nutshell. ^^
The guy miaowed at the court, he is obviously beyond disordered.
The whole 'yes but what does it matter if we pat him on the head and pretend he's a woman to please him' thing -
well that means people are going around saying (very intentionally in the case of this fantastically pernicious anti-woman lobby) 'There is a woman in this man's prison'.
Which leads, obviously to, 'poor woman, she should be in a women's prison'.
It means the lobby gleefully pointing out that women are violent murderers and sex killers too, so they can't argue about safety or safe spaces or sex based violence. Playing this game is a way to enable a man to destroy your rights better and faster.
This is the gateway softening up to forcing men - including this very disturbed, violent killer - into women's spaces, and making women submit to there being nowhere they can have that is not controlled and dominated by men. Men who by definition of walking into that space, see men as superior to and more important than women, who see inclusion as 'whatever I want' and have no interest in the exclusion of women to give it to them, who think it's fine if men rape and harm women while using women's spaces and that's much much more humane than saying no to a man.
Ffs catch on. This man is a man. He will never be anything other than a man, it is not possible. I have - or had - some sympathy for those who need a complicated fiction around them to be able to cope with their lives, but the limits and boundaries to this are where that fiction requires participation by others. And the harms are now so stacked up that I am honestly starting to think it's a serious mistake to indulge even the very shallow ends of these personal LARP choices. It is not as if we are falling over people with TQ+ identities and politics who are showing good boundaries, respect for others, or awareness of how far to push things, with a great capacity for compromise.
