Females are not safe when spaces are opened up to include males. We have seen instances of women in prison being raped by TW. If there are no transwomen in female prisons- they can’t rape women. Males get raped in prison. It’s shitty. But it’s not specifically a transwoman issue. A lot of different types of males have been raped in male prisons. That’s a male issue. It has nothing to do with females. You can make allowances for any type of male, that’s not going to stop rape in male prisons from happening. You’re asking for TW to be given special privileges that a smaller man who isn’t trans wouldn’t get. It solves no problems for anyone but transwomen, and causes problems for women. So no, less rape won’t be the result- the result is just that a different man will get raped.

Or perhaps we should put men who are deemed at particular risk in their own wings or solitary confinement instead of causing discomfort and increased risk to people who aren’t responsible for the shit that could happen to some males?

The right to be housed without men.

Lmao like I said- definitions are intended to explain things, offer a clear fact based definition of woman that includes males. You can use a different definition all you want. Doesn’t mean it’s accurate or makes sense or that anyone who isn’t a part of your gender cult will accept it. The definitions gc uses are accepted by almost 100% of the world. The narcissism you must possess, to think that because you disagree with what a word means, the meaning we attribute to it must be wrong lol. I didn’t make up the definition, I didn’t discover it. It’s just what these words mean.

I get why people say tras are mras. I can’t imagine being misogynistic enough to think that female rights should be nullified for men.

I'm fine with letting anyone change prisons if it actually increases overall safety, including people whom don't identify as women like gay men. Again though if trans women are more likely to be raped than any one else in Men's Prisons, then moving them to a women's prison would still reduce the number of rapes as people would be marginally less likely to rape the remaining prisoners. Which makes sense as the majority of people in men's prisons are straight men and they respond more to "female" sex characteristics than "male" ones.

Why not put everyone into solitary confinement then, after all then everyone is "safer"?

Well first off they don't have the right to determine legally whom that term entails (something I'm sure many intersex women are thankful for), and second their isn't a general right to be free of the presence of "men".

The percentage of people who subscribe to your definition does not change the fact that definitions are subjective. And if you'd like a term for women that encompasses people whom you'd deem "male", then a woman is someone who instinctually identifies with the group of people who posses a certain range of physical traits (which would include people whom you'd deem male, intersex m/f, or female).

Lmao this is a waste of time. You and masks are so alike. You twist and cling to semantics and tell yourself what you need to. If I hadn’t just spent all of that time going back and forth with masks, I’d waste the energy on you. As it stands, anything I’d say to you I’ve already said.

I will never understand why transwomen can’t just respect women enough to leave us and our spaces the fuck alone.

PS- trans people aren’t intersex and intersex people have been asking y’all to stop using them in your arguments. Seems y’all can’t respect anyone.

Intersex condition not even proves the point, as it is still not changing the sex from one to another. Especially of people who are transitioning late in life. If you were intersex and "wrongly assigned" - you would be already dead by that time without proper treatment.

AMAB and AFAB are bad termins as well - those were malpractices, often followed by IGM.

Saying that sex is a spectrum is very harming to intersex youth.

Being called "less woman", "less man" or "half man and half woman mutant" (how WPATH called us this week) is really painful and stressful. I'd say dozen times more hurtful than misgendering to transgender people.

It increases cases of IGM and pushes intersex youth (especially girls) to transing - as it is much better feeling as "praised transman" than laughed out as "not fully woman".

Maybe I should do informative post about this one day.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (12 children)

Im simply trying to have an exchange of ideas as your post requested. You seem however to only want to cast aspersions and presume bad faith.

Because they're legally our spaces too. In a couple generations though you guys will get over it as you realize your fears are unwarranted.

All the trans intersex people must blow your minds then. Tell me, did it never occur to you that getting any of these policies enacted would affect intersex women as well?

[–]loveSloaneDebate King[S] 8 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 0 fun9 insightful - 1 fun -  (11 children)

I don’t presume bad faith. I think you don’t consider how people who aren’t trans are affected and are looking out for trans people’s needs. I understand why, it doesn’t change the sense that trans people and the things that they “need” for their safety and happiness are invasive and undermine female rights and needs. As I said, if I hadn’t been going back and forth with masks, I’d have more patience for you. I can only deal with so much misogyny and narcissism in one day. I’m tired of transwomen and their allies acting like women should just roll over and let them take whatever the fuck they claim they need from us. I really just wish it was enough that not all women want to include and share with transwomen. I wish women saying no was enough for men. It’s not, and I’m not surprised. I just don’t have it in me today to be civil and engage anymore. It’s fucking draining. Women and TW have nothing to do with each other and it’s bullshit that women have no choice but to be pushed aside for the needs of transwomen. Transwomen are not women. Women shouldn’t have to shoulder the burden of protecting them or housing them. The only reason TW get away with it is because they are men lol. Men will always get to do whatever they want to women and take whatever they want from women. I just wish y’all would acknowledge that instead of acting like it’s not the case. And I didn’t ask for an exchange of ideas. I asked for facts.

This even seen in power distributions. Out of 21 trans representatives in USA - 20 are transwomen. Similar distribution around men to women. Same with crimes, transwomen crime statistics is same as of men, and transmen as of women.

Everything stays the same. Socialization and society acceptance is the same as if they weren't trans and stayed of the original identity.

This! There were a bunch trans people who won seats this election, but they were all TW! Every news outlet was saying it like a victory for diversity though. Please...

It's not the case, and one day you'll understand that hopefully. Or just to be fair if it is the case, then hopefully I understand one day. Because I can admit that I could be mistaken about anything I believe.

[–]loveSloaneDebate King[S] 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

Well when you realize your mistake you should probably offer an apology to females.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

If that were to happen I would. Do you promise to do the same IF you realize that you're mistaken?

[–]loveSloaneDebate King[S] 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

I already was a supporter and ally. A lot changed my mind and turned me gc. But yes, if somehow someday the things that TW do to females and say about being women and sex/gender starts to make sense and I think they are right, I’d not only apologize, I’d be their most vocal supporter.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I'm impressed. I didn't think you'd even be able to conceive of a world where you were wrong.

[–]peakingatthemomentTranssexual (natal male), HSTS 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

You are mistaken. I feel like all the success is because its mostly by and for straight men. People with power have an ability to use it in a way oppressed groups never do.

And I'd say it is not even transgender people's fault. It is conservative abusive men (and friends) found way to reduce rights and powers of minorities and to spread the abuse, but this time by framing it is as something good and progressive. And now many are just jumping the bandwagon (mostly men) or becoming victims of ideology (mostly teen women, 5337% increased transition rate for them). And in the end it is already marginalized groups of people who are suffering from it - people of color, women, gender non-conforming people, LGB people, intersex people, and even old-school transsexuals. While men are gaining more power and control over spaces (like that NYC district, where right before elections man decided to become transwoman and he with other man from same political power won both places - men's and women's), or 56% of transwomen in prisons are men who decided to transition after getting to prison and asked to move them to women's prison (and mostly they are sexual offenders, so sexual offender crimes are over represented among transwomen, almost 2~2.5 times more than in general for men) - who are then detransitioning after getting out of jail (at least few cases were like that), men are taking women's places in goverment, or taking control over women's organisations (like in UK just year ago transitioned manager took over women's help and pregnancy support center). And then they are using their power to remove word "woman" from everywhere - because when it is "people's abortion problems" - it is everyone's problem, not just women's problem, so men have voice there too, when we are "birthing bodies" - sex-work is justified, as we are just bodies and not human beings, and so on. And at same time men's spaces are not touched, word "man" nowhere is replaced. And it in the end hurts transsexual and "good transwomen" too, because of the fact that most of newly appeared TW are just from those men who want to abuse system or control women (and hurts transmen, because a lot of lesbians, gnc young women are transitioning to transmen under the pressure, and while only 4-5% of TW are getting surgeries, more than half of TM are getting at least top surgeries, which is destroying their body for the whole life, as most of them detransitioning later on).

No it’s the same progressive forces that have been responsible for other of the left’s successes
