@CloverSevenLeaf@51r3@DaviaFinch@RobinElise007 Notice the attempted lexicological sleight of hand there.
People’s *value* is not determined by their reproductive capacity or function.
But people’s *sex* is absolutely determined by their reproductive function.
There are two types of reproductive function. Hence two sexes.
@HelenWebberley Women can get pregnant. Men cannot. A woman who gets pregnant and calls herself a man is still a woman and the pregnancy is not a clue, it’s 100% definitive. Even if the woman is confused, deluded or straight out lying about her sex.
@finngalkn The opposition to gender ideology in Scotland has been led by lifelong socialist and left-wing women, many of them trades unionists, and many of them lesbians, which shows up both the right-wing conspiracy stuff and the “LGB with the T” forced teaming as nonsense.
@51r3@CloverSevenLeaf@DaviaFinch Which is all fine, except that biology doesn’t change, and the situations where sex matters are all rooted in biological differences. And adherence to stereotypical behaviours cannot justify making demands of others to change language and laws to pretend sex has changed.
@DaviaFinch@51r3 Normally they then learn how those differences manifest and why the differences matter between the ages of 7 and 11. More complex issues like social responses to sex differences continue to develop well into teen years and beyond.
@DaviaFinch@51r3 Children don’t even learn that there are different sexes and how they are different until 2-3 years old, so it cannot be true that people are born trans: it’s a logical impossibility to experience an incongruity between different versions of something you don’t even know exists.
@51r3@DaviaFinch She did not say trans people are a problem: she said trans identification and associated demands are a problem. If the demands were dropped or the identification stopped there would be no problem. This is the opposite of wanting people exterminated; it is wanting them helped.
@miroirdufou@JoPhoenix1 Bioessentialism says that your sex should dictate your beliefs, work, interests etc. Gender identity theory is reverse bioessentialism - that your beliefs, work and interests dictate your sex. GC feminism rejects both of those. Sex is real, it dictates sex, but nothing else.
@jessesingal Unless you are a model or actor where how you look is part of the job, it is absolutely none of your employer’s f***ing business how you choose to wear your hair. And no hairstyle “belongs” to any particular racial group.
@CaraPac46808618@CharlieWalsham_ When the ideas lack empirical evidence of need, they form an ideology. And because gender ideology uses children as pawns to justify self-centred demands from the warped and deviant, it is the most pernicious and poisonous ideology the world has seen since the final solution.
@CaraPac46808618@CharlieWalsham_ People can choose how they dress or their hair colour. They can ask other people to refer to them differently. But to impose changes that *others have to follow*, you need to change laws, organisational policies and administrative practice - and that requires core ideas.
