Nowhere have I said how woman should or shouldn’t feel, I’m giving my opinion just like everyone else is, not really a fan of words being put in my mouth

A) an unwillingness to allow the safeguarding reasearch to be done based on the premise that it's "offensive" to suggest that it needs to be. B) an unwillingness (that frequently veers into aggression and name calling) to even hearing women's concerns on the issue, just a stonewall C) Branding anyone with questions or who thinks that it's a nuanced issue that needs proper assessment before proceeding as "the enemy" or "a TERF" or "hateful". D) Black and white thinking; the options are support anything and everything that is deemed trans-equality, without a hint of scrutiny or raising any counterpoint, or be branded anti-trans. Probably more. Boiled down though, my issue (and I believe many peoples issue) is with their being an unwillingness to have non-emotive, nuanced discussion and that seeking it is hateful. It's just extremist nonsense. |

It's whataboutism at its most basic. This has NOTHING to do with gay rights or racism, as has been said on this thread by both straight and gay men this is not a decision that sits well with many...not only born women, if you can't see that then that reflects on you not others.

As a man I’ve bought sanitry towels and tampons for years.
It’s called being an adult. |

The irony for me is when someone transitions the last thing they would want to be referred to is....’a person who’ ...they have travelled a long road to become a man or a woman

...just to say, Liam...I’ve read quite a few media articles about this and I often read the comments on articles as well...and there is some very, very positive stuff in support of, you know...and also some social media supporting with a few Twitter posts I’ve seen shown on differing media sites....so be encouraged by that, eh...because change in general is always a slow process, I think...

...it’s one of those things that I can completely see and understand both sides of it, Annie...‘Women have fought for so long..’...is something I understand so much and have very strong thoughts about...’trans’ is just more in the earlier stages of their ‘fight’ as it were and I’m so, so, so in support of that fight...?....things like this are so important as to be felt as progression and gaining allies etc, I think... |

...to be fair, I do think the ‘non-emotive, nuanced discussion‘ sometimes escape us because ‘of closing down’ and different things in different ways on both ‘sides’ of the debate...really because so many aspects of so many things/trans related are just in their infancy and becoming more spoken about now and that’s a good thing and we have to discuss all negatives and positives, as it were...and because by nature, it has such a large emotional attachment for many as well...at least society has reached the stage where that can happen/...the discussions...I have many both ‘woman’ related and ‘trans’ related discussions and sometimes both together if relevant...etc...with family/friends etc...but often don’t get so involved in forum ones...

If a transman needs tampons, people who see him buying them will either assume he's a lesbian, or that he's buying it for a female friend or relative. Other shoppers and checkout attendants don't spend much time thinking about what some rando is buying. |

Honestly, the sooner each person realises that this product isn’t exclusively for females, the better.
What a mess. The bulk of you have made yourself out to be cruel and petty tbqh.

You are quite frankly coming across as sexist in this thread as not once have you acknowledged that the backlash to this isn't predominantly from born women. I consider your attitude cruel, unwarranted and biased

People are looking for an actual debate/discussion on this topic Withano... Save the arrogant, dumbed-down, stonewallish "the sooner people realise the right way to think about this the better" dogmatic nonsense and mantras, pearl-clutching and faux outrage for social media. You're not going to stop anyone here from speaking their mind by calling them "petty and cruel" for simply having questions and counter-opinions. You do realise that by now, surely? You've strolled into the wrong saloon, pard'ner. You don't have a twitter army to hashtag in for a pile on... What gave you the impression that twitter ad hominem are of any use here whatsoever?

Separated bathrooms tend to be separated, for obvious reasons, based on sex. Not based on sexual orientation or skin colour. It's moving the goalposts of the debate to misrepresent the opposing argument. It's ridiculous. |
