Which raises the question: If you don't think transwomen need women's sports, jails, or toilets, do you think there's anything they do need? Preferred ponouns? An "F" on their driver's license?
I think it's been pointed out they don't tend to get around in barefeet jeans and a t shirt in public like most real women (and men) are happy with when the mood takes.
This topic has way too much fantastical rhetoric and way too little reality.
Don't know, but the amount of naked Germans I saw while on a walking holiday on Crete would make me surprised if this was as big a thing in Germany as it is in the UK and USA.
Because the latter is orders of magnitude more significant a risk than the former. Violent males are a small proportion of all males. Transsexual males are a very small percentage of all males.
If they shared a male toilet would you object?
I'm not suggesting women "look after" anyone. I'm saying whatever is behind "no transsexuals in the women's toilet" is more to do with cultural and individual hang-ups than an interest in the safety of women.
On your first point, do you not see the solution is to make men's toilets open to all comers and restricting women's toilets to their biological sex?
Why bother with that? Simply keeping biological men out of women's spaces has work so far. Why change?
It's all males who want to assault or harrass us. Abolishing female safe spaces, which were established to give us extra security in circumstances where we are particularly vulnerable, can only increase that danger.
Are you saying that gay males should be allowed to use women's spaces because they aren't safe in the male ones? Even though that means women losing the right to object to any male in any female space because there is no way to tell if a man is gay or not? And we have to prove that this poses a danger to women before we are allowed to object? That seems to be the only logical inference.
I like this idea. Let's have unisex public toilets and toilets for biological females.
Or perhaps groups who run safe spaces could make a judgement call as to whether a person requesting access should be let in given who is currently in that safe space. There's no need to bring sex into it at all.
What on earth are you talking about? Nobody "requests permission" to enter the female changing room at the gym. The privacy, dignity and safety of the women who use it depends entirely on their being confident that if, say, a male joins them in the female showers and starts masturbating whilst ogling their naked bodies they need only raise the alarm, and the staff will eject the offending male and quite possibly call the police. That's all that keeps the flashers, voyeurs and other undesirables out - the possibility of being arrested. If TRAs get their way, women will know that the offending male only has to claim to be trans and the staff (and the law) will take his side - and they are the ones who might end up being arrested for hate crimes. And there will no longer be any such thing as female safe spaces, and a lot fewer women going to the gym.
