Uh, this is awful. I feel so sorry for Sandie Peggie. She is incredibly brave putting her head above the parapet and standing up for what imo the majority of people do think/believe (even if they aren’t always open about it for fear of being called Terfs or bigoted) - that a woman’s right to have same sex spaces is not trumped by someone’s belief that their gender overrides their biological sex.
Please can we stop mentioning the “male” pattern baldness though? Many biological women including myself suffer from androgenic alopecia - and often in photos it actually doesn’t look that different from the male version (we usually keep our hairline but it can still thin everywhere on top just like men).
From all the mentions on these threads of Beth Upton’s appearance, I was expecting her not to look at all female. To me in the photos I’ve seen she does - but that’s by the by as either way, I have no issue at all with her wanting to aesthetically present as a “woman” or using the name Beth or even wanting female pronouns.
But all that doesn’t actually make her a woman! The earth isn’t flat even though some people believe it is. That is the point imo, protecting our spaces and safety- not what Beth Upton looks like or even what she or others call herself.
