I dont know. If you are that interested, then find a suitable person of that community to ask.
What, and talk to one of ‘them’?!
He’s far too bigoted for that.

Surely people performing sex acts in front of minors and getting their bits out is inappropriate no matter what sex, orientation or gender? Unless you disagree of course, but perhaps you might want to reword your question?Do you agree with the trans identifying performers performing stripper style dancing acts in front of and engaging with minors?
Do you agree with the images/videos broadcast of people simulating sex scenes whilst wearing BDSM gear in a pride parade with minors in attendance?
no you are spot on thanks Steer, it shouldn't happen in any circumstance...Surely people performing sex acts in front of minors and getting their bits out is inappropriate no matter what sex, orientation or gender? Unless you disagree of course, but perhaps you might want to reword your question?
Standard fear tactics. Same rhetoric against gays in the 80s. Black people in the 50s and 60s. Jews since forever.
Boggo standard RWNJ playbook.
Now it is "rapists identifying as women" and "men identifying as women" in women's spaces.
Ordinarily yes. However, even as I age my memory remains excellent and I recall challenging another poster to give me examples of incidents where 'Fair Play for Women' or their ilk had attacked transactivists. This poster had boldly stated that there was an equal amount of intimidation an violence on both sides of this discussion."Cursory search" will find confirmation of what you are looking for.
If you want an easy start - watch last nights episode of Extraordinary Escapes with Sandi Toksvig - where Suzy Izzard shares her experience.Still waiting for an answer - how does someone know if they fee like they should be a woman?
I'm aware of ONE such case. The one in Scotland where the rapist DIDN'T go to a Women's Prison.There are sadly famous cases of rapists who identify as women
Exactly. I'm not sure what the OP is trying to get out of this thread/forum, why not actually speak to people who are in that community and have suffered abuse for just wanting to live their lives how they want to?I dont know.

There is the case of Karen White. A man who was also called David and Stephen. A rapist who assumed a trans identity when he entered the prison estate. Mr White was transferred to the female estate as he was allegedly transitioning, where he proceeded to sexually assault female inmates.I'm aware of ONE such case. The one in Scotland where the rapist DIDN'T go to a Women's Prison.
This is what confirmation bias does.
Anywho. I'm out on this topic. I'm not an expert but I recognise when an issue (and there are issues that need addressing) is being used to deflect from wider, more serious problems and engender fear for political gain. Crack on.
I disagree. This is not the politics of division. Protecting the safety of women and the integrity of women's sport should not be about attracting votes.Saw Billy Bragg a couple of weeks back and he brought up this very point. Mentioned that as his audience has aged, there is some scepticism and/or opposition to this.
Also correctly mentioned that we've had all this before with the gay community being chastised in the 70s and 80s, we got through that and we will get through this.
Age old politics of division from a spent political force (the right), that's all it is.

Just like all the nutters in America, ignore people who don't agree with you - ta-ra
You probably won’t read this if you’ve opted out, but I agree with your final paragraph. There is a genuine danger that the critical issues will be obscured by those whose primarily concern is not the protection of women. I did highlight these concerns several months ago; the hijacking of this issue by the right.I'm aware of ONE such case. The one in Scotland where the rapist DIDN'T go to a Women's Prison.

That only works if you believe that is the government's true intention here. I for one strongly do not. By all means, an informed and nuanced debate on the subject is to be welcomed but that is not what is being pushed by the right in this instance. it's the fear (and blame) of "others". See also refugees.I disagree. This is not the politics of division. Protecting the safety of women and the integrity of women's sport should not be about attracting votes.
Agreed. That’s why I used ‘should’, rather than ‘is’. (Or the conditional tense for you grammarians).That only works if you believe that is the government's true intention here.

Are we using Dr Phil as the yardstick for quality now?the same guy was on Dr Phil (one of the biggest talk shows in US), so not just on the internet.
