There's always the chance there may be more to it than just the song of course.

It's not the confidence with which you proclaim that women are not entitled to have a space for their own sex, but the vitriol you express towards those with a different view which shocks me every time.

No. It's about privacy, dignity and safety, sorry.

They aren't being excluded. They can still use the mixed sex pond or the one that matches their biological sex. And the ponds will not be breaking the law.

"Men who liken women's wariness of men and fear of sexual violence to gay panic deserve some kind of award for empathy failure" @glosswitch.bsky.social That's putting it mildly. They are enablers and we should fear them too.

And I'm arguing with you about trans *children* not adults in any case. Leave kids alone.

I'd rather be deluded than advocate for child abuse and as for "trans history" it doesn't alter the fact that women and girls need sex based rights and protections because our oppression is rooted in our biology. No matter how many trans people have existed in history.

I can assure you I would not. It's an inconvenient truth but all of the terf commentators would disagree with you. Trans men are women and are welcome. They don't want to be included though so it's rather a moot point.

And speaking of misogyny- you are a misogynist. You don't even recognise that there is a clash of rights here so little do you care about women and girls. You call those that do bigots and worse. You deny biology, confuse sex and gender and worst of all advocate for the sterilisation of children.

I'm sure a lot of MRAs don't even think about the trans question. Still makes trans a men's rights movement. Trans identifying women aren't gaining much. Don't see them winning medals or taking spots on men's teams. Or being lauded in the press.

Sadly not true. No Terf would exclude another woman. Completed rubbish.

Exactly they are effeminate men and butch women. Doesn't mean they are "born in the wrong body". They are gender non-conforming. Girls don't need to be feminine and boys don't need to be tough.

They weren't trans. There is no such thing as a trans kid. You take a gender non conforming child, who is in all likelihood just gay, and based on nothing more than sexual stereotypes assign them as "trans". And then drug them? It's horrific.
