They should not have access.

They can wear what they want. Use whatever names and pronouns they want. But they are biological males and should not have access to female changing rooms.

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.

Brain Sex in Transgender Women Is Shifted towards Gender Identity - PMC

Transgender people report discomfort with their birth sex and a strong identification with the opposite sex. The current study was designed to shed further light on the question of whether the brains of transgender people resemble their birth sex or .....

So, trans women are women. I have the evidence too. This is a study done by the NIH looking into the neuro-anatomy of 24 trans women pre-hormone therapy. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8955456/

There are also currently a total of 92 sex offenders who are trans women (this is 0.000135% of the population btw).

CNN did research into bathroom issues in the USA comparing states with inclusive laws vs. bans for trans women. They called various police departments and asked for crime data to do with trans people in the bathrooms that correspond with their perceived gender in both types of state. The conclusion showed that the inclusive law states had significantly lower instances of sexual assault in bathrooms as a whole. In the inclusive law states, many police departments reported 0 crimes.

A study of 24?!! Gosh that must mean it’s the same for all….

would never trust a random link sent in “good faith”… and would also be interested as to see the leanings of those on the study.

Biological female, eh. Has Dr Upton joined the thread?

I appreciate the question. I am a trans-fem non-binary person. This means, while I was AMAB, I mostly see myself aligned with femininity. However, I do not see myself within the binary of gender, so that's why I use those pronouns

Mate, didn't it make you think, that every single person on this thread and on the other thread knows you're a man.

Non stereotypical behaviour does not change a person's sex, but in any case, your stereotypical behaviour is absolutely that of a man.

Telling a predominantly female site, that you insist men have access to their private spaces?

It couldn't be more male.

My pronouns are she/they first of all. I also now realise how stupid that is, and I won't try and get people to email me. This is what this thread is for.

If there is more than one of you I think you really need to disclose that. Are you a collective?

And the Transman, with his full beard and bulging biceps can use the womens’ WCs. I can’t see any problem there. 👍

  1. Why would a transman necessarily have a beard?
  2. Why would a transman necessarily have bulging biceps?
  3. It's women's, not womens'.

No, really? A male person telling women what to think? Never!

People with body dysmorphia have brain differences, people with ASD have brain differences. All it means is that they have a disorder. Trans people having brain differences doesn't make them the opposite sex, it means they have a disorder.

Trans is an adjective and the meaning of the adjective is “opposite of” so Trans Woman is “opposite of woman”. I see this catchphrase being used frequently ‘short woman, black woman, trans woman. All just types of woman’ but the people using it are failing to understand that:

  • Short woman = smaller that average woman
  • Black woman = woman with a skin colour that indicates higher melatonin levels
  • trans woman = opposite of a woman

Yes, Trans works the same way that fake and pretend do, and it alters the meaning of the following word in the same way.

We can get jobs.. AND bank accounts?!! Huzzah!!!
so if it’s not our female genitalia or organs that makes us female, but our fuzzy pink brains and what we wear…. Should I be booking toddler dc into Jurassic park not nursery as he’s currently charging about in a dinosaur suit roaring at us?

SO that study shows that the brains of the trans women studied were closer (by far) to male brains than to female brains. Did you actually read it?

Never mind the 'neuro-anatomy', what about the actual anatomy? You know, the erm, penis? Even if your neuro-anatomy makes you feel like what you think a woman feels like, your penis makes you a man.

Secretsquirrelshh · Yesterday 13:03

I’ll bite. If we aren’t defining women by biology, which you infer is reductive, which stereotypes do you use to define women?

Nobodycares · Yesterday 13:04

No poll? Good call as you don't take it well when you're told no 😆🤣😂

AImportantMermaid · Yesterday 13:05

Sex is observed at birth, not assigned. There isn’t a sorting hat popped on your head when you exit the uterus and then you grow a penis or vagina. Your sex is in almost every cell of your DNA and has been since the moment of conception. It’s like a stick of rock and immutable, regardless of presentation. Wear a dress, paint your nails, sleep with whomever you like as long as it’s legal. Bang on about pronouns - I’ll happily call you Miss User and refer you as ‘she’ if that’s what you want. I don’t care - whatever floats your boat - but I wouldn’t really believe it, I’d just be indulging you for a quiet life. But you’re not, and never will be, female. Women don’t describe ourselves as ciswomen. We describe ourselves as women on the extremely rare occasions we would ever need to. If you were a real women you wouldn’t be coming on here and making posts like this because you’d have nothing to prove.

My pronouns are she/they, but I won't because I now realise how stupid that would be

The thing with pronouns is that ultimately the choice of which to use is up to the person talking about you. It's something you can try to choose for yourself, and you can even try to make people comply, but at the end of the day if people don't agree with you there's not much you can do about it. After all people are just responding to how you present yourself to the world, and it's very blokeish.

ForRedPoet · Yesterday 13:09

You are so obviously a man, OP.

And of course trans women are men and shouldn't have access to women's spaces.

SapphireSeptember · Yesterday 13:09

Oh, and my DS wasn't assigned male at birth, his sex was observed at 20 weeks gestation (in utero). So around 20 weeks before he was even born.
