  • That’s not really fair on disabled people, their facilities are already limited and having a bunch of non-disabled people add strain will only exasperate that. Also, forcing trans people to use a special trans toilet will also out them in public and potentially make them less safe.

    This is also such a non-issues, trans people have been using the toilets of their gender identity for literal decades and it’s only become an issue now, and only because of well funded activist groups, not any issues in the real world.






  • “So we pointed out, secondly, that this claim was based on entirely unfounded speculation, which also ignored factors that might result in lengthening the lives of Gazans, given the public health situation existing in Gaza prior to the war, including the extent of obesity. These factors include the possible reduction in the availability of confectionery and cigarettes.

    What a ghoulish thing to say, really speaks to how nasty this man is.


  • I use the term woman and you knew exactly what I meant

    I didn’t actually, I wrote that to probe out what you actually meant because I was giving you the benefit of the doubt.

    A blonde woman is a description of a woman’s hair colour and you know this.

    And trans/cis is a descriptions of whether a woman was assigned female at birth or not. Woman is not synonymous with cis woman.

    They have different names, which you yourself, use for a reason.

    You give them different names, I’m using adjectives because the distinction matters in this context.

    ‘adult human female’ is not a dog whistle. It’s a legal and common-sense definition

    It really isn’t. When you meet someone irl, you brain doesn’t decide if it thinks they are a man or woman based on their chromosomes or some bioessentialist bs, it does it based of social ques because man/woman are social categories.

    I am not denying the legitimacy of transwomen [sic]; nor is Keir.

    But also:

    This is exactly the same as saying transwomen [sic] are not women, because they are not. They are transwomen [sic].


  • Should a transwoman have the same rights and respect as a woman? Absolutely. Are they the same? No, they are not.

    ‘As a woman’, a trans woman is a woman, different from a cis woman sure, but still a woman. This statement is fairly absurd if you substitute trans with another adjective, like is a blonde woman different from a woman?

    Kier’s words are still not transphobia. There is no fear, dislike, prejudice, discrimination, harassment, or violence in his statement.

    The prejudice is denying the legitimacy of trans women as women. ‘Adult human female’ is a dog whistle for ‘not trans’, so by asserting that a woman is ‘an adult female’ he’s saying trans women aren’t women (and that trans men aren’t men).
