			And since when did you care about women’s protection in public spaces?

			for example A transgender sex offender is being housed in a women's prison following a conviction for armed robbery. The man is also standing trial while incarcerated on additional charges of impersonating a police officer and possessing child pornography. https://x.com/ReduxxMag/status/1801357461481263270 | |||

			What about safe trans-women in women’s spaces?

			I don’t know. I just feel like in many ways it infantilises grown-arse women. Women have more pelvic strength than men in any case (otherwise men would be able to give birth) so it’s not a fact that women are generally weaker than men in every physical domain. Not to deny that dangerous men can pose obvious dangers to women but “women and children” in many ways harks back to a sexist time.

 Like when a woman cries and is in a more vulnerable place (mentally) normally it'll be a guy that will comfort her, and vice versa, if a guy is crying then it'll normally be the woman that approaches the guy to see if he is okay. Because sub-consciously I do think that men and women see the opposite sex in different ways as the more vulnerable half, and therefore needs to be protected, obviously you can interpret these feelings as sexist, but Human nature in some ways can be interpreted that way I suppose, and it isn't always a good thing imo to make Human Beings operate in a way that isn't natural to us as a species. I hope that I'm: 1. Making sense. And 2. Not sounding like a complete nutjob.  And imo children are definitely the most vulnerable people in our species, so they definitely need to be protected from anything potentially dangerous.

			I mean. Yes. But either way, giving birth takes remarkable strength and we tend to overlook that in many of our conversations about gender and physical strength.

			Doubt it ,but the guy who filmed it   must have reported her to planet fitness  ,but it seems all sorts of crazy stuff is happening there . So who knows if they even listen to complaints. It was shared online as that's what people do now to show evidence & proof I guess as a warning to people , I think Joey Swoll reacted to . Check him out he's really good . He calls out disgusting bad behaviour that usually happens in gyms , changing rooms etc etc . | |||

			Women should stop being bigots and just allow men who believe they are, and want to be women to use the ladies facilities.  This is 2024, get with the times. | |||

			Yes but it's not going to help you much if you're being attacked is it? I'm not saying men are better or superior to women but we are different. I can't believe I'm having to spell this out, it's a fact everyone knew 5 minutes ago, it is the whole reason for sex segregated spaces in the first place

			I'm not worried about the trans population. I'm worried about the criminal one, which is higher. We're talking about how to accommodate everyone, which is a conversation to have, but we can't ignore that the anti-social population still exists and they're emboldened by the doing away of basic social boundaries. Boundaries are very much needed, as hurtful as that is to hear for some, they're needed.

 Because I sometimes wonder if my views on certain topics are a bit weird or illogical, but I'm glad that you don't think so, Redway.

 The vast majority of physically-able adult men if going all out, can quite easily beat a woman or child to death with their bare hands. It can, and does, happen. It is almost impossible for the average woman to beat an adult man to death (or even severe injury) with their bare hands. They'd have to at the very least be combat trained, and against a below average strength man. Can a woman severely beat a man, yes, but it will essentially always have involved a blunt instrument, not fists. There is no comparison and anyone suggesting g that the average adult male is not a clear physical threat to the average adult female is sadly completely wrong.
