A man who claims to be a woman attempted to explain what women think about men who claim to be women. He completely failed.
*ahem*
• “They reject the distinction between gender identity and sex and that these two things can be in conflict”
No. We know that gender identity & sex are very different. In fact that is basically our entire argument.
Gender identity = a manmade concept.
Sex = Naturally observable over the entire natural world, including humans. Binary & immutable.
• “They are concerned with the safety & integrity of spaces that are typically reserved for women”
No. Not “typically”. *Are*. ARE reserved for women. “Typically” is an admission that you know the group trying to gain access to the women’s spaces aren’t women. Which is our entire point to begin with, sir. They’re men.
• “Trans people are concerned with safety & privacy in private spaces.”
Great. Then leave women’s spaces alone, respecting the women who want them, and focus on creating your own spaces catering to your “man claiming to be woman” needs, whatever they may be. We won’t stop you.
• “Trans people are seeking to go about their business & mind their business”
Cool story, but the problem is the process of that appears to be changing the definition of “woman” in law & gaining access to women’s spaces, services & sport. So we fight back because we are not willing to give up our rights & needs so men in dresses can “go about their business”.
• “We have had inclusive policies… and there was not a spate of people pretending to be trans, going into spaces & abusing anyone.”
Either a) you’re ignoring all of the cases of men invading women’s spaces & sexually assaulting women - we can name 10 examples just in prisons off the top of our head - because it doesn’t suit your argument; b) you’re completely aware & just lying; c) you argument is they weren’t “trans” which means they must have been making it up; d) even if there were no cases, it still doesn’t make men women!
• “Discomfort alone is not grounds to exclude people.”
No, it isn’t. Sex is. Men are excluded from women’s spaces on the basis of sex. We exclude all men, including men with a gender identity and men we are comfortable with.
It’s frankly unforgivable to speak this untruthfully about this issue in 2026, and it’s utterly shameful that two men just nodded along to blatantly obvious untruths. This is the intellectual equivalent of junk food.
