What is even more infuriating is people enable this. It is PC gone clinically insane.

Being a woman is not about tottering around in heels and dress and make up and hair. It's about living with periods, childbirth, mysogyny, sexism, less opportunities and less pay. How dare they decide some boy in a dress represents me and my sex.

It really is insulting, how dare they indeed. The Western world is pandering to PC far too much and as a consequence certain groups of people are trying their luck and being accommodated by political groups with an agenda. As I said before - enough rope ...!

This actually one of the few arguments where I do actually think its 'PC gone mad'. I am genuinely baffled as to how anyone can buy the arguments of transactivists (most of whom are just angry men who hate women) and how easily some will basically...trample all over real women, in favour of men who say they are women. Even transsexual people don't say they actually ARE the opposite sex. The arguments today are along the lines of 'my body is not a male body as I have a female brain. Thus, a penis is a female organ' and 'despite being assigned male at birth, I have always been female' and the totally ridiculous 'I am a lesbian and actual lesbians are transphobic for refusing to shag my male body'. Totally batshit crazy. And blindly accepted by some. Its kind of like a cult IMO.
