This is the bottom line of every single activist I’ve ever engaged with on this issue, but rarely have I seen it stated so honestly. ‘Why can’t you just believe, it’s so weird you care, why make this complicated, just accept the slogan.’

You’ve asked me several questions on this thread and accused me of avoiding answering, so here goes. I believe a woman is a human being who belongs to the sex class that produces large gametes. It’s irrelevant whether or not her gametes have ever been fertilised, whether or not she’s carried a baby to term, irrelevant if she was born with a rare difference of sexual development that makes neither of the above possible, or if she’s aged beyond being able to produce viable eggs. She is a woman and just as much a woman as the others. I don’t believe a woman is more or less of a woman for having sex with men, women, both or not wanting sex at all. I don’t think a woman is more or less of a woman for having a buzz cut and liking suits and ties, or wearing stilettos and mini dresses, for being black, white or brown, for being six feet tall or a little person, for being kind or cruel, angry or sad, loud or retiring. She isn't more of a woman for featuring in Playboy or being a surrendered wife, nor less of a woman for designing space rockets or taking up boxing. What makes her a woman is the fact of being born in a body that, assuming nothing has gone wrong in her physical development (which, as stated above, still doesn't stop her being a woman), is geared towards producing eggs as opposed to sperm, towards bearing as opposed to begetting children, and irrespective of whether she's done either of those things, or ever wants to. Womanhood isn't a mystical state of being, nor is it measured by how well one apes sex stereotypes. We are not the creatures either porn or the Bible tell you we are. Femaleness is not, as trans woman Andrea Chu Long wrote, ‘an open mouth, an expectant asshole, blank, blank eyes,’ nor are we God’s afterthought, sprung from Adam’s rib. Women are provably subject to certain experiences because of our female bodies, including different forms of oppression, depending on the cultures in which we live. When trans activists say 'I thought you didn't want to be defined by your biology,' it’s a feeble and transparent attempt at linguistic sleight of hand. Women don't want to be limited, exploited, punished, or subject to other unjust treatment because of their biology, but our being female is indeed defined by our biology. It's one material fact about us, like having freckles or disliking beetroot, neither of which are representative of our entire beings, either. Women have billions of different personalities and life stories, which have nothing to do with our bodies, although we are likely to have had experiences men don't and can't, because we belong to our sex class. Some people feel strongly that they should have been, or wish to be seen as, the sex class into which they weren't born. Gender dysphoria is a real and very painful condition and I feel nothing but sympathy for anyone who suffers from it. I want them to be free to dress and present themselves however they like and I want them to have exactly the same rights as every other citizen regarding housing, employment and personal safety. I do not, however, believe that surgeries and cross-sex hormones literally turn a person into the opposite sex, nor do I believe in the idea that each of us has a nebulous ‘gender identity’ that may or might not match our sexed bodies. I believe the ideology that preaches those tenets has caused, and continues to cause, very real harm to vulnerable people. I am strongly against women's and girls' rights and protections being dismantled to accommodate trans-identified men, for the very simple reason that no study has ever demonstrated that trans-identified men don't have exactly the same pattern of criminality as other men, and because, however they identify, men retain their advantages of speed and strength. In other words, I think the safety and rights of girls and women are more important than those men's desire for validation. I sincerely hope that answers your questions. You may still disagree, but as I hope this shows, I’m more than happy to have this debate.

The intelligence and wit of today’s finely-honed counter arguments are well up to the usual high standard.

I don't support a nanny state. i want people to be able to make their own mistakes. But pretending that altered men are women is more than just their own personal mistake. It is an illusion and a lie that hurts them and us. it creates a social illusion that has created legal ficitons that erase women in law. Let's start being clear that men who feminize and cut off their balls are men, not women and not transwomen. And then normalize them in male spaces. And then lets tell them Yarden's story and Richies story. And then let's sue the surgeons that told them this was safe or reasonable. then if they want to do it, on their own dime, maybe it can be their own choice then. But right now, this is not about personal choice. It's about colonization, gaslighting, and medical abuse. Nobody is a transwoman #takebackwoman

This man tried to put a target on my daughter. He made his intent perfectly explicit and continued to post pictures and details of the wrong girl while insinuating I was lying about her being unrelated to me. You fuck around with my kids’ safety and privacy, you’ll find out.

@jk_rowling Can't you just ignore this coward and all the other cowards ?

J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) is a legend. Few mainstream figures have devoted more time and energy to defending women’s and LGB people’s rights. Her instance of protecting children has left a real mark in the world, exemplified through her charitable work with Lumos. We all should follow her example and not be afraid of speaking up. #IStandWithJKRowling

Thank you, @shellenberger, for speaking the truth that so many have willfully ignored. Instead of being encouraged to explore their attraction to other girls, young girls are now urged to become “straight” in a male body. Let’s be honest: this mindset doesn’t support the gay and lesbian community. This is actually homophobic. #WPATHfiles 🙏🏾

Serious question. Should autistic children be made unidentifiable if their pictures are used on social media?

@jk_rowling You’d think a writer would have a better understanding of the nuance behind the word “literally.” You’d also think a writer would be better than to callously dismiss the pain she’s inflicted upon other human beings. I guess it was only your characters who had empathy.

This is very sad news, but on the plus side, it proves some trans people have survived me knowing what a woman is, which you've previously assured me literally kills them.

@Card_Titan @rbartlet That’s so useless OMFG. We’re trying to decide whether to travel for this. Considering it’s over the holiday period, this is nothing but inconsiderate and dodgy AF.

Vote Democrat in the coming election and you’re absolutely voting for more COVID tyranny. Lockdowns, face diapers, closures, jab edicts, and more. It’s ALL on their menu. Bank on it.
