The difference is that criticism of an ideology, policy or specific behaviour isn’t the same as claiming every trans person is guilty of it.
But pointing out that sex matters in safeguarding, healthcare or single-sex spaces isn’t a generalisation about trans people.
It’s an argument about policy and material differences. Address the actual argument, not a straw man.
@UnequivocallyB@FenrirWasTaken_@LeftVentricle1@ItsMillieRiley Why do you keep bringing up genital inspections.
We have standard record keeping of people and their sex which is recorded at time of birth, you don't need to check people on a daily basis to know their sex.
@FenrirWasTaken_@LeftVentricle1@ItsMillieRiley I did answer it.
Sex-based rules can be enforced through existing procedures, records and complaints.
Your argument seems to be that because sex can't always be identified by appearance, sex-based rules can't be enforced at all.
How does that follow?
I've noticed that leftists males are VERY present when it comes to transphobia against "transwomen", but nowhere to be seen when its misogyny towards women. Male solidarity strikes again
@butchasagender If a cis male inmate says that they are now a "trans woman" and demands to be transferred to a woman's prison, how do i know if they are lying?
@bobblesyawn@butchasagender If I wake up from a coma on a desert island, how do I determine my sex?
I don't have an identity or social context.
If only there was an easy way.....
@butchasagender “Woman is whoever identifies as a woman” isn’t a definition.
But by all means, keep explaining how I’m the one who doesn’t understand circular reasoning.
@butchasagender You’ve written three paragraphs and still can’t define what a woman is without going in a circle.
Apparently asking for a definition is bad faith when you don’t have one.
And what distinguishes a woman from a man, if not sex?
If womanhood is defined by a subjective sense of belonging to the category, what objective criteria establish who belongs to it?
You can't define the category by the feeling of belonging to it and then use that feeling as proof of membership.
Then you're defining gender by gender identity, not explaining what makes someone male or female.
A person's internal sense of belonging doesn't change their biological sex, and social understanding can't establish a consistent boundary for female-only spaces.
How does your definition account for that?
If womanhood is rooted in female sex but isn’t reducible to it, what determines membership in the category today?
You say gender identity describes someone’s relationship to that category, but what makes that relationship sufficient to qualify someone as a woman rather than someone who identifies with women?
@Eaterof2strogen Another brilliant example of trans rights activists not reading what she wrote and having an argument with the fantasy straw women they have created in their head.
