@kirstyboo79 @karincelestine @Xanthip28429540 I'm weaponizing your trauma to prevent other women from going through the same trauma.

@kirstyboo79 @Xanthip28429540 Gender segregation in the bathroom isn't supposed to remove all possibilities of assault. It's designed to remove the by far most common form of sexual assault; men assaulting women. It's this form of assault that I mentioned.
Other forms of sexual assault make up less than 10%.

@CasperBryson @joss_prior @designs_william Well, you managed until I asked you a difficult question.

[Yakov יעקב @StamfHillBilly]

@CasperBryson @joss_prior @designs_william You realize you still haven't answered my question.

[Yakov יעקב @StamfHillBilly]

@CasperBryson @joss_prior @designs_william I won't knock out anybody's teeth. What I said was a joke to express the dangers of letting people do anything they like because they so identify. Now my question.

[Yakov יעקב @StamfHillBilly]

@CasperBryson @joss_prior @designs_william Answer my question please.

[Yakov יעקב @StamfHillBilly]

@CasperBryson @joss_prior @designs_william Got an answer to my question?

[Yakov יעקב @StamfHillBilly]

@CasperBryson @IsobelSGray @IndiaWilloughby No. Why do you think so?

[Yakov יעקב @StamfHillBilly]

@CasperBryson @joss_prior @designs_william I'd accept them & embrace them for who they are, but I'll stick to my belief that we cannot let people's private decisions override women's safety concerns.

[Yakov יעקב @StamfHillBilly]

@CasperBryson @joss_prior @designs_william And they're probably always right.

[Yakov יעקב @StamfHillBilly]

@CasperBryson @JewSoc I suppose "believe all women" only applies to women who agree with you.

[Yakov יעקב @StamfHillBilly]

@IsobelSGray @IndiaWilloughby I am. I believe though that your safety concerns should be taken care without jeopardizing that of others. You may not (or may) be a risk to other women, but allowing you in a women's prison means also allowing others in, who do pose a risk?
Honest question: what do you suggest?

[Yakov יעקב @StamfHillBilly]

@Xanthip28429540 The point is the threat to women's safety such policies pose. Say what you want about trans rights, but none of it explains how women's safety is ensured with every man having the ability to proclaim himself a woman & thus cross every barrier put in place to to keep women safe.

@HannahLebovits It is the Chabad side in you that keeps you from understanding that Chasidus as a theology, and that the study of chasidus is the essence of it's practice is an almost exclusively chabad notion.
The inability to accept that others may disagree & still may be right is chabad too.
