Well, it's not ultimately for me to pronounce on women's spaces and who is let in. Yes, there should be self awareness from someone like Kellie Maloney (I don't personally know what she has claimed access to), there should be mutual awareness of the way different oppressions have shaped people's lives. There's a need for, well, dialogue. But then where are those oppressions located?

Let's talk about oppression: please provide three examples related to women and 'trans women'. How do you differentiate between oppression and discrimination?

you don't know what the fuck you're on about you daft rabbit :D

"let's talk about oppression ... how do you differentiate between oppression and discrimination" :D you fucking muppet
 
LOL :D I'm not trying to be rude Miranda Yardley but you ask people to define and provide x, y, z a lot and then critique when, you could give your own examples and let people interact with them too.
not to mention the muppetry implicit in declaring "let's talk about oppression" and then puling "how do you differentiate between oppression and discrimination?"

seems our miranda knows neither the meaning of oppression nor discrimination.
 
yes, yes i do. but i'm waiting on you supporting your claim that animals know no gender, chuck.

Oooooh sexism klaxon!

What do you mean by 'gender'? Do animals have sex-based social hierarchies? Yes some do. Do they always work against females? No they don't. Do animals have an inner sense of whether they are male or female, or are an animal other than the animal they are? I don't believe so. This and the related paper are interesting:

What Is It Like to Be a Bat?
 
Some animals have the very cool ability to actually change sex, depending on circumstance, but I don't think even they've got genders.

pick another paper. this time pick one which at least includes the word gender. you're full of fail, miranda.

As ever it depends on what we mean by 'gender'. If we are talking about 'sex based social hierarchy' these certainly exist, but they don't mean male animals become female animals:

FEMALES DOMINATE HYENAS' HIERARCHY

If we are talking about male animals having an inner sense of maleness or femaleness, I have doubt.

hyenas now ffs hahahahasha you couldnt make this up
