Started because a thread on Girlguiding was getting too off topic.

Why am I not entitled to sex based rights as enshrined in the Equality Act? @user08101988 @Amiiee

@Wishesandhorses I have seen my soul, its female

How did you do that? Genuine question - I’d quite like to see my soul but haven’t worked out how to, can you help?

What does this mean? What's a "male range" brain?

I mean there are only male brains or female brains genetically but as the study shows different areas of the brain can be more or less developed and sometimes there are slight sex differences that can be observed, and as that study shows, trans women’s brains are still in the male range of that.

One that can sing anywhere with the tenor/baritone/bass range.

It means I can think in a more mechanical way, I am aware of any subtle threats in a place, my hand shape leans toward an error in testosterone in the womb. I do not get emotional in a fight, i stay calm but ready to attack if i get hit. Men and women are different.

I think you have to spit in a petri dish and look under a microscope. Under fairy lights. But I may be wrong.

They are biological females due to this study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8955456/

Also, if you think stripping down what women are to their body parts, that's what feminists fought against for years. Now women can get jobs, start bank accounts, own property, and so many more things. This is a very regressive view of what women are.

The study you keep quoting says;
"The brains of transgender women ranged between cisgender men and cisgender women (albeit still closer to cisgender men)"

It supports that TW have differences (although a sample of 24 is hardly a big sample) it clearly says they were more like men's brains than women's. It measured a physical attribute... it would be a bit like taking a bicep measurement and saying TW biceps are slightly less manly than 'cis' men's biceps and trying to say that is evidence that they are actually women!

It’s the study the OP posted in support of his claim that TWAW.

I see I thought someone was saying it was evidence that there is such a thing as a "male brain range".

why are you assuming OP is male and weaponising pronoun use like that?

Nonsense, I smoke and can do a passable tenor on occasions!

I know a woman who doesn't smoke and can manage a bit of tenor!
It's rare tho, I've come across 2 in a lifetime, well 3 now🙂

Pineapple belongs on pizza

Oh no. I'd eat if nothing else were available, but I'd not put pineapple on a pizza through choice.

Women are hyper aware of threats, we have to be.

They absolutely are not, don't be ridiculous.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 27/07/2026 16:11

Sunnibee · 27/07/2026 15:41

No it doesn't . People need to stop saying this.

They said they weren’t getting involved in the public debate yada yada. They did however “adjudicate” on whether trans women were women when it came to the meaning of “woman” in equality law governing how sex is a protected characteristic. Turns out they are all still men. Quite a significant adjudication don’t you think?

The brain is the most important part of the body. I don't think we should dismiss the concept of a soul as well

Are you speaking for yourself Amiiee, or the Pope?

WearyAuldWumman · 27/07/2026 16:12

Magpiecomplex · 27/07/2026 15:46

Try pineapple and goats cheese. Very nice.

Maybe, but not on a pizza...

Because he said he was. But identified otherwise.

what does that mean? What's a male brain?

How did you do that? Genuine question - I’d quite like to see my soul but haven’t worked out how to, can you help?

I was in an accident and walked through a tunnel and my ego/ most of my normal mind was gone and only the soul was there. The soul is only happy. Happier than you can feel in a life.

BackToLurk · 27/07/2026 16:13

Amiiee · 27/07/2026 15:45

Ok. What if they do have a female brain or even genetic effects that haven't been discovered. Or could be due to hormone problems in the womb. They could have a soul that was always female until now

Edited

Ahhhhhh. Soul.

Have you ever been violently attacked and raped? Orally, nationally and attempted anal? Been made to do things so vile and - well I’m not allowed to say.

me hitting him did no good. I broke my finger trying to get him off me. And it’s misshapen and scarred her.
i see your sneaky superior victim blaming.

Thanks, I’ll get on it. Now, who wants to lend me a microscope and some Petri dishes for my soul exploration and mapping?

It would be terrible if they really are trapped in the wrong body

How could a body be 'the wrong body'?

It most certainly does.

I see OP has plopped and buggered off as soon as the debate got too rational for him as usual. I think we owe him a debt of thanks, though - every time one of these insanely dumb posts gets dropped on a section other than our lovely little naughty step, a whole tranche of women who wouldn't otherwise be overly concerned with the delusions of the gender ideologists get to see exactly how batshit these narcissists are for a bit, before one of the mods kicks it over here into the oubliette of FWR. And maybe some will stay.. come on in, the pizza and the oblivion are lovely!
