Do we have statistics on the number of times a man has transitioned to being a woman then used that to assault women in toilets or changing areas? Genuine question

What’s that got to do with anything?

I mean it happens and we have data showing assaults on women go up in unisex spaces, but it’s not really the point.

Exactly. No-one is saying trans good/trans bad, just the same as you wouldn't say men good/women bad, or vice versa.

It's not anti trans, or picking on trans, or
any vulnerable groups. It's just pointing out an issue if you allow men to identify as women.

I had assumed it was based on that and athletics being brought up often when this debate happens. My wife who’s about as big a feminist as you will find argues strongly that ‘trans women are women’ and doesn’t understand the argument over allowing that to be the case.

I can’t find the article (it may have been a radio interview) but the girl guide organisation decided on a self identification policy and one instance occurred where a boy self identifying wanted to join and then go on a trip with communal showers and dorms

The mothers of the women felt uncomfortable and the leader ended up being booted out as she advised the individual to go to male Areas. She was then subjected to vile abuse by the baying mob - my daughters at 14 I think have a right not to share forms showers And facilities with a 14 year old with male genitalia and that’s all this is about really

I will happily admit I know very little about this issue. But the thought that springs to mind is how exactly is this ever going to be enforced?

What happens now if a male try to use female facilities or vice versa?

So she’d share a communal shower with someone with a penis and be fine with it?

Sorry this is bollocks. Go talk to some feminist women about the problems with making woman a gender not a sex and removing womens spaces. Most of this came out during the proposed GRA reform a few years back.

It fuck all to do with “attacking a vulnerable minority”

Of course it had everything to do with attacking a vulnerable minority and directing anger away from the actual reasons behind issues.
It’s all alarmist bollocks.
Do you have examples where women’s changing rooms have been removed for example?

Id imagine based on your age your wife is a liberal feminist. It’s quite different from second wavers like my mum who grew up pushing back against gender as an oppressive force over women.

Telling them that what makes you a woman is a bit of lippy and a dress is hugely fucking offensive.

Telling women they aren’t allowed women only spaces or they’re bigots is offensive.

Putting rapists in prison with vulnerable women is fucking horrific TBQH.

If you’re not a feminist, but you value truth in politicians or science in policy then it’s a litmus test. Does the candidate spout things they know are nonsense for political expediency or do they tell the truth? That’s what’s done Mordaunt.

I’d love to dig deeper into what your wife means by TWAW. I suspect it’s “leave them alone in toilets” and not “men can literally change sex by thinking magic thoughts”.

Yes, self ID has come in all over the place.

I’d argue women are on the whole more vulnerable than trans people in this country. There’s virtually no trans murders here and mostly they’re white middle class kids.

No one is tarring a whole group - you haven’t commented on Debbie haytons views - I think Debbie has more knowledge than you? At least you agree with that surely?

What if your wife was religious and not allowed to undress around the opposite sex, or has a trauma response due to previous assault?

The pretty clear implication there being that women should implicitly have something to fear from trans women.

I’ve not seen evidence that trans women are routinely responsible for women’s spaces becoming more dangerous, but the way this debate is being presented (by the Tory party, of all people!) is doing a wonderful job of demonising them regardless.

What if someone did? Is that trans phobic if they said they were uncomfortable and wanted that person not in the shower with them? Say a 14 year old girl in a shower with a man identifying as a women? Does she have a right to remove that person?

So if mr Huntley becomes identified as a woman I guess it’s fine and dandy he’s transferred to a woman only prison @Sick Boy?

Come to a game with us some time and you can have that conversation yourself. Germaine Greer who is a feminist of a previous era has written pretty strongly on this topic to the point of expressing openly transphobic views.

You have also said it’s not about men just trying to abuse access to women in unisex areas by claiming to be female-so what is it about? Genuinely, as I don’t understand.

You actually don’t get the point at all - if he self identified and the legislation was in place his human rights are infringed if he’s not transferred- don’t you get that?

In the context of women being assaulted or worse, yes. But you said this isn’t about assault-so what is it?

Though for the record yeah whenever my wife is walking home on her own she changes her route and calls me or her family in case something happens.
