You don't need to speak to the people directly affected to know what's best for them?
As I said, high-handed. And pretty ignorant as an approach.
Transgender is it just me that is totally perplexed?

No you muppet. If you born a male you have XY chromosomes; and if female XX chromosomes. That's just the way things are.

demonstrably false. I encourage anyone to go and read what i actually said.

right - the fact that they attacked the TERFs and that they're revelling in it, and think it's totally justified... that doesn't tell you anything worrying about the political culture of that group

So, your point is simply that shit gets overblown on the internet? Big news.

I don't know, and I accept it's a really difficult area that often throws up less than ideal solutions.
But I do think on occasion cis-women should be able to define and decide who is allowed entry into certain groups or spaces and that might exclude some/all transwomen sometimes. Especially when the position that's often pushed by some transactivists is that you should be considered and treated as a women from the moment you say you identify as one.

Yes you've handed down your verdict. I can see that.
But the ignorance would seem to be on your side, unless you can take issue with what I actually wrote.

my point is that there is clearly a problem in the culture of present liberation politics organising and supposed 'lefties' like you go out of your way to paper over it and dismiss it

Aah, sorry, I thought you had recognised earlier that that was wrong. My apologies. You are wrong. There are XX males and XY females.

what the dormouse said
No that's not amazing to me. Your biological sex does not determine your social gender identity.

And eejits like you want to look the other way and pretend oppression isn't a thing any more.

But your chromosomes do. And your genitals too? That article flatly refutes some of the crap you were claiming.

I'd need a link to clarify what is meant here, please.

There's language calling everyone a fascist somewhere on the internet.

specifics please - not some vague wishy washy high handed view that trans women are second class women and could be excluded at a whim if enough people at the meeting decided they want to.

I'd have thought a scientist like you would know how to google

what the dormouse said
I never said your chromosomes determine your social gender identity. If they did, we wouldn't even be having this debate.

i was called a fascist in the Green Party thread - i thought it was what we did on urban.

never been in the slightest bit true - i'm just not a fan of kow-towing to over-indulged middle-class teenagers with wildly unreasonable demands and an agenda to bully and victimize anyone who gets in their way...
whereas you can't tell the difference between doing whatever they say and being a socialist
Sea Star

you need to make your position clearer then. It seems very confused.

Come off it. If you want to address an issue that is faced by a bunch of people, your first port of call is to talk to the people involved, not to assume you know what their problem is and come up with a solution for them on that basis without even asking them. You're interested in science. Does that sound scientific to you? Does it sound like an approach that is likely to produce the correct answer?

What about the social gender identity of a butch dyke trans woman who dresses like a man?

seriously mad levels of self-importance here.oh that's sooo me.OK. So - what's your beef with the other 99% trans people?
and go on, seeing as i have not had a go at any trans people maybe you can tell me what my problem is? you're clearly so wise
