Why don't trans women care if women feel unsafe?

I listened to the Stephen Nolan show earlier on BBC Sounds. They were discussing the FA ban on male players in the female category. A lady from SEEN in Sport was on and was great.

Then there were two transwomen on (one who is involved with Mermaids). There was lots of talk about their feelings and some quite infuriating twisting of scientific fact (women come in all shapes and sizes, so transwomen have no advantage). But one thing that came up several times was how they didn't feel safe using male facilities. Stephen Nolan did the faux naive thing quite effectively and tried to turn it around to get them to consider other people's viewpoints, unsuccessfully. It was back to their feelings again. The levels of entitlement was quite astonishing.

Why don't they ever consider women who feel unsafe sharing spaces with males? Is it because these women are just bigots that need to be re-educated and reframe their trauma?

It seems more likely? But you don’t have any examples? Why do the feelings of men with special identities trump the needs of women?

Why should we trust men who want to access our single sex services and spaces more than men who have the decency to stay out?

They may feel a need, quite honestly very annoyed by all the negative comments.
Fully aware lots of men abuse, a disabled/ trans toilet would be a compromise.

No it is STILL not a NEED. It remains a desire. A want. Not a need.

Sorry fella's actual women's needs trump your desire to have your fantasies validated by unwilling women and girls. Time to just face up to reality, nobody can change sex, all transwomen are men and belong in male spaces and those who feel they can continue to transgress women's rights and boundaries are clearly wrong un's.

I think I've got to the point that as it's clear that many transwomen give no shits for women's safety, I give no shits for theirs. Not a position I originally held, but one that they have pushed me into over the years.

What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, even if the gander thinks its a goose.

The word that is doing all the heavy lifting there is feel. Feelings do not override biology.

Because they know how men think.

I’m a woman, with a grown up daughter, living in London, and I have never heard anyone being made to feel afraid in a women’s toilet by a trans woman. It seems much more likely for a transwoman to feel uncomfortable and in fear using a men’s bathroom?

So just because you've not personally heard of something it doesn't exist? In spite of several posters having stated their experiences to the contrary.

I mean, there have been numerous transwomen who’ve actually been convicted of harming women, so I don’t know why that poster things the fact she hasn’t been affected holds much sway.

Can someone link which episode of the Nolan show this was on?

Is it this one? www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002c2zn?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile

hopeful you and your nephew are campaigning for 4th spaces

and in the meantime he needs to stay out of the ladies. His presence there would compromise the privacy and dignity of women who expect to be able to use the toilet without a man present, and compromise the safety of women by normalising the presence of men in the women’s toilets.

I know it sounds very harsh, but I’m afraid it’s reality

So why don’t transwomen on this program, or the many public figure transwomen, the multitudes on social media or any of the trans lobbying groups demonstrate any empathy or consideration for women who do not want or cannot have males in single sex spaces?

They are not males, they are transgender women. How many reports do you have of transgender women attacking women in restrooms? Most are gender neutral now anyway!

Under the Equality Act SC judgment they are men.

We don't have 'rest rooms', you're on the wrong continent.

No, they're not mostly 'gender neutral'.

See above ^^

Of course they are male. It’s the one defining quality of a transwoman- you can’t be one if you’re not male.

crikey

what the heck are rest rooms?

and most toilets are categorically not gender neutral

I mean obvs, men with a gender identity are still men, but that's not even the daftest thing about your post!

Why do you expect people to be positive about the potential of your male relative being in female single sex toilets?

Yes they are male, claiming otherwise just serves to make you look and sound rather silly.

Yes there have been incidents of transwomen attacking young girls in the supposedly single sex female only toilets.

Seemed to mostly consist of 'you're all mean' and 'I don't understand the long established lingo/language/knowledge on this board so you're all super mean!!'

In the UK we had one school massacre and that was enough for us to bring in gun controls, likewise we had Katie Dowalski (sp?) and that was more than enough for us to say no more, I understand things in the USA (where restrooms exist) things are different, on both counts.

Ummm…. Lots. Also the only requirement to be aTW is to be male. Females cannot be TW.
