This is ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ and you should ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ know it. Throughout the overwhelming majority of my life AND YOURS the word "woman" was understood to be synonymous with female human being,
We are going to rinse and repeat this one again? Quelle surprise.
When i took my psyche courses in the 90s, and my future wife was majoring in psychology right into postgrad, gender did not at all have the meanings you badly assert here with no evidence. Gender meant exactly what it does today. I'm sure the hillbillies at the corner store weren't up on the established thinking within the relevant communities at the time, but that ain't my problem.
Your statement, as is becoming a habit now, is a factual lie. For the overwhelming majority of my life, gender has meant exactly what it does now. My preadolescent understanding may not have been versed in the contemporary adult definitions (I doubt I ever thought about what it meant), but that ain't the "overwhelming majority of my life" by any stretch.
FFS. Now you're playing the same idiotic linguistic game that p0lka was, pretending like if the sign used the specific word "female" everything would magically be fixed. You know it's ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ Thermal, don't pretend like you think this makes sense.
That's not what I said. I think stating unequivocally "Females Only" reframes the argument a little, and surely removes ambiguity for me and many others. Sure, the hard core TRAs would still push against it, but those of us in the peanut gallery would not be as inclined to be supportive. It's far easier to say "well a transwoman is sort of a woman" than it is to say "a transwoman is a female".
Again, ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊. You're pretending that the appropriation of a word within the last two minutes somehow means that it has changed in all cases across the entire goddamned world.
The textbooks I bought in the 90s beg to differ with how long ten minutes is.
You ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ KNOW that the word "women" on the restroom door uses the FIRST definition, you KNOW it has NEVER meant "anyone who says they have womanly feelings inside their heads".
I agree, and if you would pay attention for ten ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ seconds, you would already know that. The secondary meaning has slipped in without anyone bothering to clarify the difference.
◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊. I refuse to surrender the word "woman" so that it can only mean some mystical feeling that males can appropriate in order to violate female boundaries.
No one is asking you to surrender anything. You dont define the English language, Ms. Dumpty.
You have never actually given a reasonable or coherent answer. All your answers have been wishy-washy sidestepping and tapdancing. So far as I can tell, you're doing your damnedest to avoid having to acknowledge that you want to give some males special extra privileges regardless of how much this ◊◊◊◊◊ over real women.
You mighy try reading the posts then.
There's no such thing as an "imposter" transgender identified male because LITERALLY the only thing that makes them transgender in the first place is that they said the magical phrase!
Again, not true. I can utter the magic phrase right now and it will change nothing about my internal sense of self. Watch: "I'm a transwoman". Yeah, nothing changed. I'm still a guy.
And we all know the vacuous response: "But if you said that in a women's room, they couldn't touch you". Yes, that's why it is being an impostor. It's a deliberate untruth used to gain advantage. This doesn't need to be explained to you or anyone else.
Saying "there is no such thing as an impostor" just makes us look stupid. Please don't do it.
