@fezlathy@jane4678468@cassiemoans_ Right? I swear TERFs don't actually know what feminism is. They think women have to be small and petite and be able to give birth. There's a long history of feminists pushing for women to not be defined as such things yet here we are
@JohnCleese Yet another person from the generation who told us not to believe everything you see on the Internet, believing everything they see on the Internet. And of course it's racially charged. It's so easy to radicalised the gullable.
@jazzfan71@GhollowayMA94@jk_rowling It's never advance biology and neuroscience is it. Always just basic biology. Don't go beyond it otherwise things get complicated and confusing.
@EFHutton123@MindVsMyth@jk_rowling Girls become women at 18 according to the western social norms yes? And this is a biological thing you say... So what happens in a girl's body the moment they turn 18? Or is the change into womanhood, in fact, a social moment.
@iaini10 @hoy_ark67227 @cleanupaisle8@suunasolkija@jk_rowling The SC clarified how "sex" is interpreted in the EA. It didn’t erase legal rec of trans people or protections. You can hold your view, but that doesn’t override medical consensus, legal definitions, or lived experience. Dismissing that as "nonsense" isn’t debate. It’s denial.
@hoy_ark67227 @iaini10@cleanupaisle8@suunasolkija@jk_rowling Women's rights absolutely matter. So does the right to accurate information and respectful dialogue. Reducing complex issues to "men can't be women" ignores the legal, medical, and social reality of trans people's lives. We can protect everyone's rights without erasing others.
@hoy_ark67227 @cleanupaisle8@iaini10@suunasolkija@jk_rowling That case doesn’t show that "belief in gender" caused harm. It shows what happens when healthcare fails to consider both gender identity and sex-based medical needs. The paper even calls for better classification, not less recognition of trans people.
@hoy_ark67227 @iaini10@cleanupaisle8@suunasolkija@jk_rowling This debate cannot be reduced to a slogan. If you want to engage, do so honestly. Otherwise, you are just demanding silence, not discussion.
@hoy_ark67227 @iaini10@cleanupaisle8@suunasolkija@jk_rowling You say "nobody cares how you identify" - but law, medicine, and psychology do. That is not self-delusion. That is society recognising complexity and protecting people accordingly.
@hoy_ark67227 @iaini10@cleanupaisle8@suunasolkija@jk_rowling You're repeating a belief, not proving a point. Saying "men can't be women" ignores that legal and medical systems already recognise gender identity as valid, distinct from sex. That recognition exists because it reflects lived reality, not wishful thinking.
@cleanupaisle8 @hoy_ark67227 @iaini10@suunasolkija@jk_rowling Disagreeing with medical consensus doesn’t make it nonsense. Every major UK and global health body still recognises gender dysphoria and supports trans healthcare. Criticising institutions is fair, but denying the evidence they work from isn’t.
@cleanupaisle8 @hoy_ark67227 @iaini10@suunasolkija@jk_rowling You do not need to identify as a woman because your sex and gender align. For trans women, they do not. That is why legal systems allow inclusion in some spaces, and allow justified exceptions in others.
@hoy_ark67227 @cleanupaisle8@iaini10@suunasolkija@jk_rowling Medical consensus recognises that gender identity and biological sex are different. No one is claiming they are the same. But gender identity is still real, evidence-based, and relevant in healthcare and law.
@hoy_ark67227 @cleanupaisle8@iaini10@suunasolkija@jk_rowling If cis women are being left out of the conversation, what do you think the UK Supreme Court ruling in April was about? Women's rights and trans rights aren’t in competition. The Equality Act protects both sex and gender reassignment.The goal is dignity and safety for everyone.
