Da ab heute nötig eine Klarstellung meines Vokabulars:
Frau = erwachsener Mensch weiblichen Geschlechts
Mann = erwachsener Mensch männlichen Geschlechts
männlich/ weiblich = Körper, der grundlegend auf die Produktion kleiner (m) oder großer (w) Gameten ausgelegt ist.
The Gender-Critical or "TERF" Position is a materialist analysis of sex, gender, and women’s rights. It is not a theory of hatred toward trans-identified people. It is a claim about the importance of sex as a real, human, and materially significant category in law, language, medicine, safeguarding, sport, and feminism.
Trans activists often misrepresent the views of GC feminists, sex realists and TERFs becaue honesty would cause them to lose the argument.
The following is an attempt to represent my position as a gender critical, sex realist and radical feminist precisely so it is easier to see when that view is being intentionally misrepresented and/or understood by bad faith representatives of trans activism.
I know my own position better than anyone. Bad faith is presuming to tell me what my own position is in order to discredit me. That's worse than a strawman, and the main tactic of gender essentialist activism.
Here is my actual position: the only position I need to defend:
1. Sex is real and materially significant
Sex in human beings is not an identity, a feeling, a role, or a personality type. It is a reproductive and developmental category: male and female are the two human sex classes that are the means of human reproduction. Male is the sex class organized around the development of small, mobile gametes and female is the sex class organized around the development of large, immobile gametes.
This does not mean every person is fertile, typical, or currently capable of reproduction. Infertility, menopause, hysterectomy, castration, DSDs, injury, age, or illness do not erase sex. Sex is not a human performance and there is no standard for sex beyond teproductive role. Sex is a human condition and an innate, immutable attribute of the human body.
Gender-critical feminists reject the idea that sex is “assigned at birth” in the sense of being invented, guessed, or arbitrarily imposed by authority. In ordinary cases, sex is observed and recorded. Even in rare, extraordinary cases with ambiguous secondary sex characteristics, with modern instrumentation, the primary atrribute of sex is observable at the definitive level beyond the crude level of external genitalia at the cellular level.
2. Women are female human beings
In this framework, “woman” means an adult human female. “Girl” means a juvenile human female.
This definition does not depend on femininity, beauty, clothing, sexual behaviour, reproductive capacity, compliance, heterosexuality, or conformity to stereotypes. A woman can be masculine, feminine, lesbian, bisexual, heterosexual, celibate, infertile, disabled, old, young, gender-nonconforming, or medically atypical. She remains a woman because she is female.
The position is therefore not that women must look, act, dress, think, or feel a certain way. It is the opposite: women should be free from the sex-based stereotypes traditionally imposed on female people.
3. Gender is not sex
Radical feminism distinguishes sex from gender.
Sex refers to the embodied, biological male/female distinction.
Gender refers to the social roles, stereotypes, expectations, behaviours, and hierarchies imposed on people because of sex.
Gender-critical feminism does not seek to preserve gender roles. It seeks to abolish their coercive power.
A feminine male does not become female. A masculine female does not become male. No one should have to change sex category, medically alter their body, or adopt a new identity to be allowed to reject sexist expectations.

@gbs_org nichts ändern, da diese den Phänotypen, also die !natürliche! Ausbildung der Geschlechtsmerkmale, nicht beeinflusst.
Verwechseln Sie bitte nicht Auseehen mit Phänotyp.
@gbs_org Dies ist kein Vaginalgang und daher keine Überschneidung mit dem weiblichen Phänotypenspektrum, auch wenn einfältige Menschen eine Vagina ausschließlich als "Loch" sehen und daher geneigt sind hier Ähnlichkeiten zu sehen.

@gbs_org Es kann keine Selbstbestimmung im Hinblick auf unveränderliche Größen geben. Weder können Sie sich ihr Alter umphilosophieren, noch ist es möglich sein Geschlecht zu wechseln.
TSG ebenso wie SBGG gehören ersatzlos gestrichen, da Auswuchs menschlichen Größenwahns.
@gwup@gbs_org Sicherheit und ein Abgrenzungsrecht gegenüber allen männlichen Menschen unabhängig derer persönlichen Vorstellungen von Maskulinität und Identität zu? Ja oder Nein.
Und versuchen Sie es bitte nicht mit Wortklaubereien. "weiblich" und "männlich" sind unmissverständlich definiert.
@gwup@gbs_org (Körperlichkeit, Schwangerschaft...)
In Bereichen der Intimsphäre? Auf jeden Fall! Immer. Uneingeschränkt.
Es stünde Ihnen gut sich ehrlich zu machen und ein für alle Mal klar Farbe zu bekennen:
Gestehen sie Frauen und Mädchen, also weiblichen Menschen, Würde, Intimsphäre, ...
@melboure No endocrinologist will tell a male person they have period symptoms. The same goes for a neurobiologist.
They may look into Avas symptoms and determine their origine and maybe can help aleviating them, but they sure as hell will not determine the source to be a period.
First: This person is a perfect example of how stupid transactivists think the population is and how delusional they are themselfe.
Second: Symptoms can be the same in different medical issues. For example are headaches found in many minor as well as dangerous illnesses from ...
Trans women can have period symptoms, I know because I’ve experienced them.
TERfs like pretending that hormonal cycles and its effects are not real. It’s simple biology.
Your understanding of trans ‘ideology’, aka reality, is wrong Joanne. We are not a ‘second kind of woman’ we are simply women.
eating habbits. His wishful thinking affecting his body is also a possibility.
He really should visit a trustworthy non-ideologically captured doctor to check these symptoms out.
What 100% is not happening is him expierencing any "period symptoms" as explained above.
also are observed in many people having a period as "period symptoms" without him being physically abel to ever have a period meaning the shedding of uterine skin once a month as he lacks a uterus.
It is more likely just a reaction of his body to his hormone abuse or bad ...
@ConSpiracy1500 Whatever he has cannot be "period symptoms" as he has no period.
If he expierences cramps or other things that can be symptoms of a period they are a symptome of something else, maybe even psychosomatic.
Like your monday morning headache is not always a symptome of a braintumor.
@TwinkTeacup@badjin_rank@Vox_Oculi Not to rain on your parade, but "petty crimes" are irrelevant in a counting of SEXUAL OFFENDING like clearly stated in the stats pictured.
So no, they will not water down the numbers for the bigger "long established" cohort, as they are not part of the statistics.
@SamanthaNiblet4 Nothing "good mannered" about participating in a lie.
The only thing this acieves is making you look stupid and the one who demanded this lie spiralling more into their delusion.
Brits were once known for the ability to word hard truths calm and respectfully. Go back to that.
