No, it doesn't imply that.This would imply that they can legally exclude ALL males, irrespective of how those males identify. Do you believe this is the case?

Is it your belief that males with transgender identities are NOT male?An immediately necessary consequence of "inclusive of both sexes" is "inclusive of females" and "inclusive of males."
Gender-segregated bathroom are not inclusive of males. They, by design, exclude the vast majority of males. And that's also what they do, in practice.
FYI - this is a UK vs US difference in terminology. Unisex facilities in the US are not necessarily single-use, fully encompassing facilities.You guys are saying "unisex" when you mean mixed-sex, but I suppose that's past praying for.
(A unisex facility is one designed to be occupied by one person at a time, with all facilities in one room behind a lockable door. It can be used sequentially by people of either sex. The issues from women's perspective is that men are disgusting and pee on the floor and the seat and leave wet paper everywhere, and they plant hidden cameras.)
Ultimately up to her.
Whichever willcause less disruption andmake herand everyone else safest, happiest would be my advice. And I think that's allmost peopleHill and other males really want out of this.
No kidding, we already know that. That's actually a pretty fundamental part of the entire ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ argument.And? I didn't say you can tell, only that it's possible to lie about it.
Can you elaborate on exactly what behavior a male with a transgender identity is expected to exhibit?There is. You can look for inconsistencies in behavior and stated belief.
And yet again you seem to be completely eliding that the only person who can possibly know that it's willfully untrue is you.Hm. Let me take that for a test spin:
I have a good idea of what a transwoman means, without getting into "particular patterns of behavior", which definition I couldn't satisfy for man, woman, dog, or anything else. So:
"I am a transwoman".
Yeah, still a lie. I do not fit my sense of what a transwoman is in any sense at all. To claim I do is willfully untrue.
Alternatively... they could be a male with a transgender identity who does not pass very well, and they're defending their legal right to be there.A man being complained about in a woman's restroom and refusing to leave is probable cause for a cop to believe they are being a petty disorderly person or possibly worse, under usual, customary, and reasonable standards (a NJ judge went into great depth with me personally about UCR standards and NJ's support of their persuasiveness in the face of ambiguity).
You're sooooo close....No it isn't. If you ask someone what their internal sense of self is, by goddamned definition you cannot externally test it. You can accept it or not, believe it or not, or go into detail about exactly what elements of their representation you personally feel doesn't jibe with their self reporting. But you can't "tell" if they are lying, any more than I can tell you are a man and not a transwoman lying about her identity.
Holy cow.It's obvious to you guys, because you're all out there on your dogwhistled wavelength like ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ Pluto. You have to translate back to rational for us normies.
When the direct question is "can you subjectively lie?", please don't answer another question you like better.
Working to give males the legal right to use female-specific intimate spaces *is* working against sex as a protected class. It reifies an unverifiable, unfalsifiable, entirely subjective article of faith above the observable reality of physical sex.Of course it matters to me. Do you see me working against sex as a protected class? I think those protections should be more robust. The ERA should have passed in this country, and it's distressing that we couldn't all agree that the equality of men and women should be constitutionalized.
Then it IS legally required to be inclusive of both sexes, contrary to what you said here:No, it doesn't imply that.
Because it isn't legally required to be inclusive of both sexes.
Then you ought to be able to show your work, here.Working to give males the legal right to use female-specific intimate spaces *is* working against sex as a protected class.
Are you aware that religion is also a protected class?It reifies an unverifiable, unfalsifiable, entirely subjective article of faith above the observable reality of physical sex.
No. I already gave an example of where this is obviously false.Then it IS legally required to be inclusive of both sexes, contrary to what you said here:
Spitting the dummy because you are unable to get people to agree with you.I decline to answer further questions about my posts to other people until you learn to read what I've already responded with.
No. Refusing to relitigate lines of argumentation that have already been made is neither spitting the dummy nor flouncing.Spitting the dummy because you are unable to get people to agree with you.
In these parts, we call that "flouncing"
Cheerleading is embarrassing, but you should probably stick to it. Less embarrassing than your own attempts to string two thoughts together.It certainly has been interesting watching, first Ziggurat, then Emily's Cat, using ruthless, unshakeable logic to turn all the trans ally arguments inside out, and then watching those latter arguers squirm, and twist themselves into a tangled mess, using inconsistent statements, goal post moves and strawmen. It's like watching a baker making pretzels and then seeing them being cooked.
Truly popcorn-worthy!!![]()
Blaming others because you are incoherent? Really poor show.Cheerleading is embarrassing, but you should probably stick to it. Less embarrassing than your own attempts to string two thoughts together.
Completely nonsensical comment.Blaming others because you are incoherent? Really poor show.
