It looks like women have had it too good, it's time we sat down and shut up

Women don't even deserve a name, they're simply referred to by their biological functions, apparently!

I wonder if people trying to tell women what to call themselves and to allow males into their spaces consider themselves feminists

Well obviously as a whole, generations are becoming more tolerant? That’s not new. This has been going on for hundreds of years and will continue for a couple hundred more.

I'd prefer to erase the word "woman" entirely than to erase transgender identities. Not everyone who menstruates is a woman and it can hurt to see branding make it seem like they don't exist. Call me a person and not a woman if it makes life easier for an already marginalised community.

No one would be in the wrong body then? they would just be a person, and couldn't transition to be another person

And what’s progressive about certain women clearly not wanting transgender people to be recognised as who they are and want the rights they already have to be stripped away, to suit them and their feelings?

This is a broken circular logic; if it's "just people" then there is no such thing as a trans man. If there are no men or women, just people, then the entire concept of transgenderism is meaningless and there is no marginalized community to protect. A marginalised community of... who? Transmen and transwomen? How can you be a trans-version of something that doesn't exist? How can someone argue that they were born biologically male but "knowing instinctually" that they were in fact a woman, whilst simultaneously arguing that there is no such thing?
Frankly this is why the entire concept of transgenderism is in SERIOUS need of some proper, robust, academic sociological/anthropological study. It's currently a bizarre, illogical mess of contradictions... and yet, there's also a huge pushback around anyone being allowed to have those desperately needed conversations. So it's not going to get any better. If anything it's an area that's continuously fragmenting into ever-smaller subcultures of "lived experience" nonsense. |

You're passing judgement on a group (women) who have only had vague rights of their own for a generation or two and telling them to sit down, calm down and "everything will be fine". Also - to be frank - the VAST majority of the people I see doing it are either cis-men or trans-women (people born biologically male). 21st century flavours of the same ol' 19th century story. If you can't see how that's problematic then I don't think you really have much scope in telling others what is and isn't.

There are women out there that are taking it further than wanting to ‘protect their pronoun’, they want to strip transpeople of their rights to use the same bathrooms as them for example, a right they already have, you mention the ‘extreme trans activists’ a lot, but there are people out there actively wanting to discriminate against the trans community

Just think of the uproar if straight men turned around and demanded gay men use seperate public toilets because they ‘felt uncomfortable’ or white people demanded white only spaces because they’re scared of being attacked by black people, I don’t see this situation as any different to either of those scenarios.

I suspect however that, as a member of a group that has some very recent hard-fought rights and as you say, you would perhaps be a little less comfortable with it if you felt like any of those right or any aspects of that identity - which were a LONG time coming, just as they were for women - were the ones that were being asked to "make space". I don't know, ai can't speak for you there. Other than that I have no idea how you being a gay cis male means you have more agency in talking about this than I do as a straight male? I mean if we're going to get right down to splitting hairs, as a gay male this is an issue that really has nothing AT ALL to do with you, you have far fewer chips on the table when it comes to how it affects women, whereas as someone with a female partner and two female children, how these things affect women actually have a fairly direct affect on things that are very close to home. Thus your focus is heavily biased towards "ally-related-thinking" which is fairly evident as you have a heavy focus on talking about marginalised groups and minorities. I feel that women get less sympathy on this issue than they should because they aren't one. Quote:
