@realdrewavery @helenstaniland @YoubeliveImhere Where exactly are trans people being refused housing or work? If by 'healthcare' you're referring to minors being denied puberty blockers, we have a very different definitions of 'care.'

@realdrewavery @helenstaniland @YoubeliveImhere Trans-identified men are currently one of the most over-indulged and pandered to groups in society and they already have exactly the same rights as every other citizen. Some of them want to take away women's and girls' right to privacy, dignity and safety. The answer is no.

@realdrewavery @helenstaniland @YoubeliveImhere Feminism is a liberation movement for females. Feminism is not for or about men, however feminine the men are or believe themselves to be. Feminism does not centre the desires of men over the needs of women. Feminists do not attack other women for their failure to pander to men.

🎯 'But we'll be handing our enemies talking points' is the exact same argument used by people who refuse to accept that adopting gender identity ideology was a massive mistake. Institutional cowardice has enabled terrible harm. The solution is not more institutional cowardice.

Yes, but before we pin it all on rogue doctors, let's not forget that sterilising troubled kids couldn't have happened without all the politicians, academics, celebrities, corporations and NGOs who actively promoted child transition and persecuted all who had questions.

@Invariant1917 @EthanLesabre @MidwesternMom3 @HazelAppleyard_ There's nothing arbitrary about sex classes, which are scientifically observable and verifiable. Only by recognising the well-evidenced differences between the two sexes (speed, size, strength, patterns of criminality) can women's and girls' rights be defended.

'Where's the evidence trans-identified men ever harm women?' 'No sexual predator would EVER dress as a woman to get access to victims.' 'Only bigots claim cross-dressing can be a fetish.' May 2025 be the year we get men out of female prisons, sports and single-sex spaces 🙏

@shashankbelz @EthanLesabre @MidwesternMom3 @Invariant1917 @HazelAppleyard_ Almost always, but not quite. Women with the rare disorder of sexual development called Swyer syndrome have bodies organised to produce eggs (they have a uterus, a vagina and fallopian tubes), have zero sperm-producing equipment, look typically female, yet have XY chromosomes.

@EthanLesabre @MidwesternMom3 @Invariant1917 @HazelAppleyard_ A woman is an adult human whose body is organised to produce large gametes.
