@SVPhillimore It wasn’t terrible, in fact I thought it was pretty well-written & in places thought-provoking. The emphasis on the class element was interesting - something JKR has often mentioned but I’ve never really thought much about. Good that BBC aired it. Let’s hope the dam has broken.
@StoryonyxTBN@JustIndianaGirl Yes, biological sex and gender are different. And women/girls-only facilities, opportunities, awards etc. are based on biological sex, not gender.
@Missmbl2812@LGBAllies_Cymru You’re pretending it isn’t a binary, but it is. Either designated single-sex facilities, opportunities, awards etc. are single-sex, or they aren’t.
@BrainsinNo@Shilisad1@_CryMiaRiver Can’t be bothered to read all your idiotic rubbish. You obviously have a very high opinion of yourself. Shame it’s unmerited, because you sound and write like an unpleasant twelve-year-old. Goodbye.
@BrainsinNo@Shilisad1@_CryMiaRiver And yes, "woman" is the word for an adult human female, just as we have words like cow, mare, hen for adult females of other species. You don’t get to unilaterally change the meaning of a word describing half of humans, the historically repressed half, without their consent. 3/3
@BrainsinNo@Shilisad1@_CryMiaRiver Your childish ad hominem insults betray your lack of logical arguments.
Your declaration that I 'announced' "therefore they are men" is a lie. I never said that. You have missed the entire point: transwomen are men, and transmen are women, to begin with. 1/
@BrainsinNo@Shilisad1@_CryMiaRiver Yes, the transwoman, as you describe them, is different from a "typical cis man". They are even more different, except in cosmetic details, from a "typical cis woman". They are a sub-division of men, & should be accepted as such by anyone not in thrall to regressive stereotypes.
@rejserin Please clarify what "c1s women" are erased by such a definition.
I have never heard any gender realist say that females who have a reproductive system designed to produce large gametes, but whose system is immature, defective or affected by surgery, are not women. Have you?
@BrainsinNo@_CryMiaRiver You can define sex however you like, but it won’t alter the fact that for millennia virtually all of humanity has defined the sexes by their reproductive systems (regardless of whether or not those are defective, immature or altered by surgery). Humans cannot change sex.
