Should breast implants for males be made illegal?

Having learned more about the sexual desires of males, AGP in particular. I now think that as women we have to push back and stop this madness. We live in a world where females are vulnerable to sexual assault by males-we are literally hunted by them. Combined with the safeguarding of children aspect....all parents I know explain to young children that if you get lost, look for a lady to help you, preferably another Mummy....I know men can wear a padded bra to achieve the look, but still the thought of males getting sexual pleasure by having fake boobs & their male tackle-just seems wrong. Am I alone in thinking this? Looking at society as a whole, I can't see any benefit to women and children of men being allowed to get silicone breast implants.....

I think you're failing to see the risk to transwomen of certain kinds of men beating them up.

They're much safer in the disabled loos, which are almost always free anyway. People have to share, since there's not infinite space.

I don't know why you'd want to insist on TW being put into a vulnerable position. I very much doubt you would want anyone to be beaten up.

I'm not failing to see the risk, I'm failing to see the evidence of any risk of men beating up transwomen in the men's toilets.

So I don't accept that they are being put in a vulnerable position by using the toilets designated for them.
It's bizarre to suggest that I 'want' anyone to be beaten up, just because I want people to do the right thing and use the toilets designated for them!

Mis-use of the accessible toilets by people who don't need the adaptations in them is unacceptable. An accessible toilet is not a consolation prize for transpeople.

There are millions of disabled people in the UK who have no choice but to use an adapted toilet; unlike transpeople, who are able use the standard toilets, but choose not to.

You must surely see that a trans woman is a huge target for being physically attacked by men in the men's loos and that, if they have had much of their strength dissolved by taking hormones, it wouldn't exactly be a fair fight. I'm sure you wouldn't want an innocent person to be badly beaten, no matter their sex or gender.

No reason why TW can't use the disabled loos. People have to learn to share, since there isn't infinite space.

Why do you think men are beating up other men in the men's loos?

Have you any evidence for this?

It's common sense, because everyone knows that a percentage of men attack LGBTQ people. They always have.

But if you find that hard to believe, the bulleted statistics below are about violence towards transgender people.
Source: Crown Prosecution Service.
Link to the CPS page with these stats: https://www.cps.gov.uk/types-crime/hate-crime/context-and-characteristics-hostility-towards-sexual-orientation-and-transgender-identity

  • Research indicates that 62% - 73% of transgender people have experienced harassment and violence because they were identified as transgender. This included verbal abuse, threatening behaviour, physical and sexual assault.
  • Despite high rates of hate crime or incidents towards transgender people, a high proportion goes unreported.
  • A study in 2012, found that four fifths of respondents are fearful and avoided some situations with half saying that they avoided public toilets and gyms.
  • Research indicates that 91% of transgender boys and 66% of transgender girls experienced harassment at school, leading to depression and isolation.
  • A report from 2015 found that fear of being treated poorly leads victims of hate crime to avoid reporting to authorities. According to the same research, 88% of LGBT people had experienced some form of hate incident.
A longitudinal survey from 2013 showed that:
  • One in ten experiencing homophobic crime was physically assaulted.
  • One in eight victims experienced unwanted sexual contact.
  • One in eight victims have had their home, vehicle or property vandalised.
  • 85% of LGB people who had suffered a hate crime or incident in the past three years reported being harassed, insulted or intimidated as part of it.
  • Two thirds of victims did not report it to anyone.
  • Two in five victims did not report it because they didn’t think it was serious enough to report.
  • One in fourteen victims was concerned about further homophobia from those to whom they would report it.
  • More than one in five of those who did report the crime or incident did not mention its homophobic nature.

I literally wrote "I doubt very much that you'd want anyone to be beaten up." I'm not sure why you wrote that it's bizarre to suggest you want anyone beaten up when I wrote the direct opposite. Maybe you misread.

As for evidence, see my post above for evidence of transpeople's vulnerability, direct from the Crown Prosecution Service.

Plenty of reason. I have trauma. I’ve discussed it on here before. I say no.

re the stealthing. I’ve discussed that before too. I believe that using the wrong sex toilet, that is, the toilet different to the sex that you were born, should be a crime. It is analogous to stealthing.

finally, the law says men need to obey the law.
