Trans men pose no realistic risk to biological males. Trying to equate the two is nonsense. If I walk into the men’s toilets and a woman is stood there … what is the implication? What’s the threat? Nothing, If just assume they walked into the wrong room. If a woman walks into a womens toilets and there’s a 6’ 200lb bloke stood there the threat is very real and immediate. Is that because all men are dangerous? Obviously not - he might just have gone in the wrong door too - that’s not the point. |

I've just put my point across from what I feel would be the perspective of someone who has gone through that transition. Of course there are risks. How can you compare someone who has transitioned and whether they can or cannot use a slmale and female bathroom to Muslims, Sharia law and being chucked off buildings. Ridiculous |

There's no such thing as someone having transitioned, there's just male and female people who try to appear as the opposite, maybe with the aid of cross-sex hormones and/or surgery. Quote:
Bathrooms may be over-represented in the discussion, but it's quite simple - as soon as a transwoman enters a woman's bathroom, it ceases to be a woman-only space. Bathrooms are more accessible and universal than sports or refuges. |

I'm not sure as they haven't gone through the full transition. They need support regardless. My view is that if that was how they identified them would it be fair for me to judge?

let's not just in eurovision create a better world of love and peace, but let's also do that in the real world
and i myself respect all activists but it would be better if we wouldn't need them anymore if the world only had good people one of our tv preachers ''Dominee Gremdaat'' said it in a speech like that last night on one of my nation's talkshows Half8

As a man it's nice and comfortable to be that kind and charitable but there's no real threat to men by being nice and accommodating to any one who says they're the opposite sex, is there?

The logical solution would be for Trans-women to have their own spaces, but even that creates a problem because that costs money and it would be wasted money for a very small percentage of society. For example you wouldn't want to waste money on a prison for a very small amount of criminals.

But take note of the type of person they use to whip up fear though, they’re constantly talking about the ‘big, buff, bearded men’ that want to use their toilets, it’s purposeful, it’s tactless and quite frankly it’s bigoted at its core, but hey, we’re not allowed to have opinions on it because we’re gay men, so I’d stop now if I were you.

For the second part... it's not about "judging" it's about safeguarding, and I'm now genuinely concerned that you actually DON'T understand what safeguarding is. It's not about judgement. It's not about thinking people are definitely a risk. It's about understanding and accepting that a tiny proportion of people ARE a risk, and taking appropriate measures to reduce that risk. Imagine someone going for a job working with vulnerable kids and declaring "How dare you accuse me of being a risk to kids???" when asked for their disclosure documentation. |

Under equality law and protected characteristic, gender reassignment being one of them a decision made to deny someone, for example, to use a female bathroom would have to be proportionate. I found this article very balanced and fair https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/t...s-b992398.html |

Like you say, a minority of people would abuse it just like anything in life, hey? Nice to hear about the polling. |

When talking about things in the abstract, I'm sure a lot of women wouldn't have a problem with transwomen in their spaces and sports. But when confronted with realities (Lia Thomas) it puts things in a different light.

Sorry to make myself clear, I am on about those who have undergone gender reassignment. Anyone can claim to be a different sex, but having gone through a long and hard procedure is completely different imo. Although I like to take people on face value and think that if someone says they are in the process of transition, but haven't yet then they are being genuine. There will be those who have alteria motives unfortunately and then those who have gender disphoria Last edited by ThomasC; 17-05-2022 at 09:51 AM. |

Are you a trans woman?
Because if not, you should take your own advice you give out to others when they dare to talk about gay issues. |

I do feel bad for genuine transsexuals and I genuinely believe that the way this movement has been hijacked is going to end up effecting actual transsexuals in a negative way.

I got the idea from the video that it was just people who wanted to feel a sense of purpose for the wrong reasons, but still to make themselves feel important about something and were just doing it for attention
