Yes, Anthony Halliday/Stephanie Hayden - he previously sued Linehan for "deadnaming" him. https://www.legalcheek.com/2018/10/...shing-tweets-containing-her-former-male-name/
Right! I thought that name was familiar... I have posted about this particular piece of vile scumbaggery before...
You really are obsessed with this silly notion of yours that sex segregation is unworkable without your famous "Penis Police" (even though we seem to have been able to cope perfectly well with out them for over a century)
Because perfect is the enemy of good. Amirite?
Also, oblivious to the problem of "gender police" that would be needed if any given space or league chose to segregate by gender instead of sex.
Yes, that's fine. Regular citizens have been policing voyeurs, frotteurs, and exhibitionists through public outcry and direct verbal confrontation for decades.
I'm pretty sure most exhibitionists and voyeurs tend to be opportunistic cowards, who will flee if confronted.
I'm sure. And then there's the other very predictable outcome: off duty cop working security confronts a suspected voyeur (not trans) and the guy tackles the cop, bloodies him up, steals his taser and uses it on some other vigilante as he escapes, assaulting a woman on his way out.
You're not paying attention. Again. I bring up Penis Policing when one of y'all bring up Penis Policing. "How can you tell?" you wail. You only need to tell if you are Penis Policing. There's no other reason.
Absolutely. But we are not talking about sexual assault. We are talking about someone's presence, and nothing more. You cant just stretch that to 'sexual assault in progress' any more than I could take someone waiting in line at the grocery store to be 'murder in progress'. Remember the girl at Buffolo Wild Wings? There was no even theoretical assault in the queue. She was a woman peeing in the women's restroom.
Substitute whatever misdemeanor you like, then, if that's the point you're going to get hung up on.
A lot more people are prepared to step in to prevent a serious crime like sexual assault than they are a misdemeanour
Yes, we just talked about that. Literally, just now.
Then we already have penis police
The advice I was given in the late 80s was whoever does the asking does the paying, unless there's specific discussion of splitting the bill. There were a few occasions where I asked a male out and I paid the bill.
Ah yes, Linehan's horrific recommendation for how females could protect themselves from males who transgress their boundaries and don't stop or leave when told to do so results in an arrest by FIVE officers, because it's "inciting violence"... But the many posts that have been reported multiple times calling for people to physically assault "terfs", decapitate them, punch them, and the most recent version of "change your heart or die" paired with images of knives or guns... those are totally harmless and not at all an incitement to violence.
It's a lovely thought... but you seem to be glossing over the fact that California Law PROHIBITS that solution, because California has made it law that "gender identity" must be recognized in all cases as being synonymous with sex... and therefore a male person with a tallywhacker is allowed by law to show off their dangly bits on the FEMALE side of the spa, regardless of their multiple past felony sex offenses... because said male "identifies as a woman" now.
As long as they're explicitly clear about how they're going about it... this is at least approaching tolerable. The challenge comes in when activists carry enough power to get their preferred "optional" solution put in place regardless. If too many gyms and spas and clothing stores adopt a gender-soul based separation, then the net effect is to exclude a whole lot of females from equal participation in society.
WHY do you think that some males should be in female intimate spaces?
I'm going to ask a question that I suspect you'll want to scoff at and hand-wave away. I'm asking you to please don't do that, please give it real serious consideration, and respond.
I agree. I think (and have said repeatedly) that California and even my own New Jersey's laws are not reasonable or fair, or even particularly sane.
