"An adult female who is biologically designed to give birth to children. The end!" 100% agree on this response! As for the OG poster. A 3rd gender would be a good idea to determine those who are and have transitioned. Maybe XY? | |||

"What’s ur thoughts! For me it need to be based on genetics, fully understand and appreciate trans people desires and needs Maybe we need a 3rd gender?" Sadly, there are only two genders in reality. If i could wake up tomorrow and be a woman i would love it. I would be a street walker my lunchtime. | |||

"How many handbags do you own? Can you defend having 5 pairs of shoes, all variations of blue? How sheer are your knickers? Do your shoes have to match your scarf? If you can answer lots and yes to the above, then you're a woman Afraid not, your just a plaything for men who like a chick with a dick, doesn’t matter how sheer your knickers are when there round your ankles | |||

"Just to bring this down to crude levels... If you have gone full gender change, and had your knob chopped off, do you get to use the women's bog or relegated to disabled? " Good question. I would say if you have gone the whole way and had genital surgery you should be entitled to use a Ladies toilet unless you've become a raving, predatory lesbian. | |||

"Apart from a tiny number who are born intersexed/Hermaphrodite there are physically only two gender. I accept that a man might have a female mentality and wish his body to become female [also some women wish to become men] and even take quite drastic steps to become a woman. Fair enough if he is prepared to undergo hormone treatment and surgery. Still wont be a true woman but will, for all intents and purposes, be able to function as a woman except for the obvious like pregnancy, periods etc. Just putting on a dress, make-up and wig and calling yourself Lucinda does not make a man a woman." It's not even intersex though. Women can be born with ovaries but no womb. They would go through puberty even. Just not "designed to have children". | |||

These unfortunate women are still designed in nature to be able to give birth. Stupid point | |||

"How about we just let people identity how they want and let them be happy? Nah that would be too easy. Accept the fact that trans men and women exist (also intersex people too) and move on." Nodoby is saying they cannot identify how they like the issue is about real women's rights and how their women only places are infringed up along with their rights. | |||

Yes. It's not a belief if/when you have a cock in your mouth, arse, hand or vice versa. It's a denial. Curiosity is a one off not an every other week profile being set up, meet some guy, drop your nut, feel regret, delete profile and repeat. Same as opinions, opinions are only opinions if they're factually correct, otherwise they are at best a belief and at worst an outright lie. | |||

I stand by my statement, quoted above [middle section] of 20 weeks ago. If a transsexual have made to effort to become the opposite sex to which the were born, then I think they should be recognised in their new gender. However that does not apply to crossdressers, transvestites and frauds. I actually knew April Ashley many years ago. We used the same pub. She had undergone full gender reassignment surgery when it was still in its early stages and not available in this country. She was quite a character and I believe it was she who once said "dig up my skeleton in 200 years time and it will be immediately recognised as that of a man" | |||

"... A 3rd gender would be a good idea to determine those who are and have transitioned." There's a list as long as your arm off different variants of sexuality. Perhaps we need a whole building full of separate toilets to accommodate them all? If you have a cock, then men's toilet. If you have a vagina then women's toilet. | |||

"Sexuality and gender are two separate things. Just because Jack becomes Jane does not mean he/she is gay. Important not to confuse the two issues." So Jack has a sex change op and becomes Jane. Does that mean he/she is straight/gay/lesbian ? Personally i couldn’t care less, but it’s obviously deeply concerning to some, who i guess don’t have a lot else going on in life. | |||

"Sexuality and gender are two separate things. Just because Jack becomes Jane does not mean he/she is gay. Important not to confuse the two issues." Absolutely right. And completely irrelevant to the supreme court definition of what a woman is. And which toilet Jack/Jane should use… which is based on their biological sex and physiognomy. | |||

"There are men who have transitioned from male to female but they will never truly become a woman no matter how much they try to convince the world. These are just indisputable facts." I’m afraid this is factually wrong. HRT literally changes sex…all the way to cell methylation. Thems the cold hard facts. Trans women are most certainly women. There is a very real, very material, & complex reality why this is the case, whether people balk at the idea or not. Sadly, it gets lost because of, so called, common-sense thinking. But common-sense thinking is frequently revealed as misleading, invalid bullshit, no matter how truthful it ‘feels.’ | |||

Feminisation or masculinisation is is entirely possible. There is no definitive answer I think. The level of acceptance varies so much across the population and also with age. As with most things.

"Trans people cause zero injury to cis people"? OMG! Open your eyes. Our courts are littered with the convictions of trans people for sex crime. | |||

" I'm no biologist but having had two transwomen friends I have a sort of interested fascination on the subject. True after full surgery and hormone therapy the body will stop producing testosterone and become more and more feminine. But the bone structure does not change. With some trans breast do develop naturally but the majority have to have implants to achieve their goals. What they have down below may look like a vagina and function as one but it is not part of a female reproduction system. To put it crudely it is an artificial fuck-hole and most transwomen have to dilate them regularly as the somewhat confused body wants to close them up. | |||

"I don’t get the supposed difference between gender and sex. I rather feel gender is the physical equipment you are born with and sex is what you do with it " The opposite. The species is divided into 2 sexes - male and female. The binary division is central to human reproduction. The difference between the 2 sexes is a LOT more than just the external appearance of genitalia. Gender is a social construct, and usually refers to stereotypical or adopted roles in society. | |||

The growth of narcissism. Social media being a peculiar catalyst. You could see things starting to change when everyone kept demanding they had their own flag. No matter how much you emphasised that the WHOLE POINT of the rainbow as an emblem is that it includes every colour permutation and is inclusive of everyone… that just wasn’t enough. Black Pride had to have a black stripe. Then the Bears 🐻 had to have their flag (which looks like something smeared with peanut butter, mud and poo)… Then the trannies had to have their flag 🏳️⚧️ (which looks like something from a Central American dictatorship bleached on too hot a cycle in the washing machine). Then they had to be forced on to the other flags. “But you’re all included in that original rainbow flag…” “NO - I have to have my own bit of it!” Then this moved into terminologies. If you were a man with a sexual attraction to another man you could fit into gay or bi. Everyone used to fit in there. “Oh that’s not enough! I need to have my own bespoke sexuality!” … “I have to have a term that describes exactly my individual attitudes to sexuality - at this particular juncture in my life - and I want it now!” VerucaSaltosexual. I spent my early years as an out gay man trying to make sure I was free of any boxes that others wanted to put me into and so I would be treated as an individual in my own right. I’ve spend the last 15 years staring in dumb horror at people willingly climbing into prescriptive boxes of their own accord. And they think this is in some way ‘progressive’ and healthy. | |||

The Gay Liberation Front back in the 60/70s wanted human sexual liberation for everyone - labels can be helpful for that but we seem to be boxing ourselves into more and more categories and to what end? The growth of narcissism. Social media being a peculiar catalyst. You could see things starting to change when everyone kept demanding they had their own flag. No matter how much you emphasised that the WHOLE POINT of the rainbow as an emblem is that it includes every colour permutation and is inclusive of everyone… that just wasn’t enough. Black Pride had to have a black stripe. Then the Bears 🐻 had to have their flag (which looks like something smeared with peanut butter, mud and poo)… Then the trannies had to have their flag 🏳️⚧️ (which looks like something from a Central American dictatorship bleached on too hot a cycle in the washing machine). Then they had to be forced on to the other flags. “But you’re all included in that original rainbow flag…” “NO - I have to have my own bit of it!” Then this moved into terminologies. If you were a man with a sexual attraction to another man you could fit into gay or bi. Everyone used to fit in there. “Oh that’s not enough! I need to have my own bespoke sexuality!” … “I have to have a term that describes exactly my individual attitudes to sexuality - at this particular juncture in my life - and I want it now!” VerucaSaltosexual. I spent my early years as an out gay man trying to make sure I was free of any boxes that others wanted to put me into and so I would be treated as an individual in my own right. I’ve spend the last 15 years staring in dumb horror at people willingly climbing into prescriptive boxes of their own accord. And they think this is in some way ‘progressive’ and healthy. " Nail hit firmly on the head. It reminds of going to buy some toothpaste in Brighton Boots once - there were three long shelves of the stuff! Whitening,fresh,charcoal, mint, aloe Vera, clinically approved, with stripes, white, recommended by dentists, gum strengthening, sensitive teeth, pink, on and on and on. I realised then that things had gone horribly wrong somewhere. I just wanted bloody toothpaste. Now, like applying for a job with 35 tickboxes, I’m never sure if my sexuality meshes with another man’s because there are so many ways to be incompatible. | |||

"I read on Facebook that Mardi Gras bar in Blackpool has changed its ladies toilets to gender-neutral toilets in support of trans people. And I'm left wondering why it's only the ladies loos that are being redesigned. No mention of the men's becoming a shared space. Things like this make me cringe. " Probably because the ladies is all cubicles , so easier to repurpose , than a lav with 1 cubicle and a trough or bank of urinals . Unisex , gender neutral is the way to go ….. | |||

"What I wonder, is what happened to Mother Nature in the 90s onwards (I know some have had a “sex change operation” before that) when she created SO MANY people who now believe that they have been born into the wrong body?

The more militant LGBT++++++++ people will tell you these variations have always existed. Perhaps to an extent they had. Prior to 1967 very few dared to admit they were gay/bi. I wonder how many gay/bi men went to their graves without even so much as kissed another man, let alone had sex with him, because of society's restrictions. Thinking back to my schooldays,'60s/'70s, it was obvious a few of the other pupils were gay or would go on to be gay. I was one but doubt anyone noticed because I was a bit 'one of the lads' and liked sport. I know one lad seemed a bit obsessed with sex-change. He wasn't particularly effeminate but he had found a magazine about it and he would secretly dress up in his sister's underwear for a wank. I happened to meet him, by chance, many years later and he was still a man and in fact married with children. Half the other things mentioned I honestly haven't got a clue what they are. Non-binary/gender-fluid seems to be something that has become a fashion fad in the last few years. In my opinion it is a nonsense. I accept trans is a real thing, gender dysmorphia, but the rest are just strange. | |||

" This is very true. Loads of younger people went through phases often trying to imitate their idols. Remember a lad in the early '80s who was obsessed with Gary Numan. Dressed like him and was a remarkable likeness. Doubt he still does in his late 50s/early 60s. We had skinheads and hippies. We went in for all sorts of different styles etc. All temporary and none of them life changing. | |||

"The greatest danger to women is from their male partner over 800 murdered in the last decade and numerous suicide to get away from their abusive partners. It's not from trans people." I actually agree with this, but will add one exception. A trans woman boxing a cis woman can cause a lot of actual harm. Sport needed delineation. | |||

Imprisoned women were never at risk, our media and the coverage of this topic has a lot to blame for the toxicity around for trans people. Reminiscent of the headlines leading up to section 28. This issue and migrants are the most debated and toxic issues in Britain. Meanwhile the things that actually effect our lives, like critical infrastructure barely gets a mention. " One name to debunk your nonsense - Karen White. The Scottish Prison Service policy did indeed require Bryson to be sent to a women's jail. A double rapist, in a women's jail. The minister then drove a coach and horses through their entire gender policy by ordering the SPP to move the cretin to a men's prison. By virtue of the SNP's own policy on transphobia, that made the Minister, Sturgeon and every one of them "transphobia". Sturgeon could not even bring herself to refer to Bryson as either she or he. An absolute fiasco. | |||

" Never at risk. They were sent to a women's prison in segregation while a decision was to be made!! " The court notified the SPP to collect a convicted rapist for the MEN's prison. The SPP changed the direction of the van to the WOMEN'S prison. Because their policy for years had been that you served the sentence in the prison that matched your presentation at the time of conviction. Do keep up - this issue has dogged the SPP for years, and anyone who called it into question was shouted down as a hater and transphobe. Until Bryson came along, there was public uproar and the whole Alice in Wonderland thinking was quickly dumped. | |||

But you still arnt a woman ,never will be ," No but they have made the effort. If a transwoman no longer has a knob/cock/willie/penis she is not a predatory threat to real real. Or at least no more than say a rampart lesbian would be or a predatory gay man would be in men only spaces. As men we cannot really appreciate how real women feel. Perhaps not threatened but certainly a lot will feel awkward and uncomfortable about it. | |||

"I saw this and thought here we go again. I read the forum and thought, we're here again. Peoples choices/dysmorphia have zero affect on anyone else with the exception of the tiniest percentage. Its ironic that gay/bi (and pretend straight) men are blabbing on about a topic whilst abusing and taking for granted the rights that they've accrued since their particular sexual orientation has been legal. Many against this topic were subjected to the lack of rights, some may even have participated in achieving those rights, only to decades later belittle and attack other peoples right to identify how they choose. Zero fucks are given my end. I don't care, it doesn't affect me. Just let people live their lives without interfering little busy bodies constantly having to opine over a subject they have (in most cases) only superficial knowledge. Rant over." you can rant all you like but being gay/bi had no impact on another sex, ie women and womens safety nor cheating in their vocation ... (ie sports). so rather than aiming at people who you say are interfering little busy bodies, how about you actually look at the entire ramification before you claim to give "zero fucks" which clearly you do, given your rant ... | |||
