Actually 36,000 now. Heartening to see in these horrible times. It's always wonderful when you see people come out to stand in solidarity against the manufactured anti-trans panic.

How did you reach that conclusion?

I didn’t suggest they were the only group covered by hate crime legislation. It was a direct comparison with the rights that women have.
I

Well, quite.

Someone's monitoring this thread ... <waves> Hi!!

So no man living have ever had to fight for basic rights….got it !!!!

where as my mum couldn’t have a bank account without my Dad agreeing, she couldn’t be on the mortgage, wasn’t able to have a life saving hysterectomy without my Dad agreeing…who was then instructed about my mums condition by the doctors ….but my mum was not.

So many more women’s rights thats are still pretty recent …. That we are still fighting for.

So yeah….a tad pedantic !!!

That's horrific about your mother having to have her husband's permission for a life-saving operation, @Katkins17 As if her fertility is his possession. Grrrr

Oh yeah, my aunt couldn't get a mortgage without a man signing the forms.

And don't forget, marital rape only became illegal in the UK in 1991.

I'll say that again: marital rape was legal in the UK until 1991.

I once had a job which was basically putting paper patient records on computer. I came across a form for contraception from the 1970s which asked whether the husband consented for his wife to get the pill!

It was perfectly legal to refuse to serve women in pubs, on the basis that they were women, until 1982.

But 30 million women say no.

Roughly .0005% of the UKs population.

I don’t know about you, but where exactly is this a significant and meaningful percentage of women? Most are probably supposed feminists who are really just TRAs, and I would venture to guess that a lot of TW.

Wasn't the NION survey championed by pink news?

With a global audience of more than 100 million unique users every month, PinkNews delivers content across its website, social channels and app.

I'm surprised that only 35,000 out of a possible 100+ million unique monthly users signed

That's less than 0.035% of a bias selected group.

And don’t t forget, the EHRC guidance states that employers and companies may leave themselves open to possible litigation if they do not offer single sex toilets should women protest it isn’t offered to them.

I don’t know about any of you but I refuse to use a mixed sex toilet. I do not want to see any man in my toilet especially around that time of the month. These types of toilets are known to be unsafe for women and that most rapes and SAs in public places occur in these type of toilets. No thank you.

More than six women are murdered daily in the US.

In 2022, less than 40 trans people were murdered in the US. In that same year, over 2,300 women were murdered. 9 out of ten of these women were killed by their male intimate partner.

No contest, women are the more marginalised.

Just saw this while catching up, @FlirtsWithRhinos.

Felt a curious affinity with the last paragraph - permission to share? 😅

Question: Is there anything more tedious than a narcissistic trans activist?

Answer: No. No, there is not.

As opposed to which other kind?

good point 😂
