@CTVNews ITDV is March 31 every year.
Easter changes every year based on moon magic mumbo jumbo. Get over your hateful selves.

@twosheds35 @RichardDawkins The right to be themselves without discrimination, legislation of their lives and bodies.
I see now through this thread how seriously Men's violence should be accounted for when talking about trans women- I'd really need verifiable stats to back up the assertions made through.

[Darryl Bianco @dspeaksshifty]

@Ifoughtthelawn @RichardDawkins Thank you.

[Darryl Bianco @dspeaksshifty]

@twosheds35 @RichardDawkins I take your point, I do.
And I'd agree, were we talking about reproductive rights.
Trans rights though...hmm...I'll say this: as a man I have little to nothing I can/should contribute to women's rights conversations, but general human rights I believe I do, and can. And will.

[Darryl Bianco @dspeaksshifty]

@Ifoughtthelawn @RichardDawkins Elucidate then.

[Darryl Bianco @dspeaksshifty]

@ATRightMovies Get me a scotch I'm starving.

[Darryl Bianco @dspeaksshifty]

@twosheds35 @RichardDawkins Fair.
I will point you, however, to the plethora of women that are also pro-trans.

[Darryl Bianco @dspeaksshifty]

@CassieDebus @littleoldlady18 @trousersgrumpy @RichardDawkins I acknowledge your fears, and they are valid.
I'll never say that there aren't men that will try this angle to satisfy their abuse of women.
I suppose the trans people I know have allowed me the space to trust them and their motivations, as they are good people.

[Darryl Bianco @dspeaksshifty]

@xraypat @CassieDebus @RichardDawkins Yes. The same to you.🙂

[Darryl Bianco @dspeaksshifty]

@littleoldlady18 @trousersgrumpy @RichardDawkins @CassieDebus I admit to being a bit Pollyanna-esque when it comes to other's motivations.
That said- you are allowing fear mongering and (probably a well deserved) distrust of anyone with a penis colour your thinking on this.
My female wife and I are both pro trans rights. So....

[Darryl Bianco @dspeaksshifty]

@CassieDebus @littleoldlady18 @trousersgrumpy @RichardDawkins I promise you I am not trolling...
I can see now how your fear/distrust of cis-men informs your stance.
You're proceeding under a refusal to believe that a woman with male presentation is not being duplicitous. Which is fair but is still biased.
Sport? Entertainment. Nothing more

[Darryl Bianco @dspeaksshifty]

@CassieDebus @xraypat @RichardDawkins The equation that trans rights are harming women's rights. No nuance granted.
Your (supposed) entrenched position that isn't interested in preserving the dignity of children and adults who want to live outwardly how they feel inwardly.
Please correct me if I'm misunderstanding

[Darryl Bianco @dspeaksshifty]

@littleoldlady18 @trousersgrumpy @RichardDawkins @CassieDebus Hmm.
Framing this as harm to women seems a stretch- I'm genuinely asking- how do trans rights harm women?
And please know that I have the deepest respect for women and girls.

[Darryl Bianco @dspeaksshifty]

@CassieDebus @xraypat @RichardDawkins Because.... I....genuinely want to understand your side?

[Darryl Bianco @dspeaksshifty]

@CassieDebus @xraypat @RichardDawkins I am most definitely not saying that. I vehemently believe that women and girls deserve every right that should be afforded them.
Nice try.

[Darryl Bianco @dspeaksshifty]

@CassieDebus @dearaunty @RichardDawkins Again- no.
Pediatric associations around the world have come out on the side of trans rights. Old attitudes are shifting, science changes and grows in order to not stagnate. But on gender and sex they've been right for 40 years with no further inquiry needed?
