I think we are on the same page. I am far more robust regarding society. I think a lot of modern attitudes and beliefs are utter nonsense. The fragili...

Exactly. The world has come on really well, in certain aspects, over the last couple of centuries.

My previous posts you have engaged with have said as such. I was asking specifically in 2025 what gender stereotype do people have to conform with? I ...

No one has to conform to any gender stereotype. How is gender foisted on someone? Explain the process.

The statement was gender is not foisted upon anyone. What is expected of a woman in 2025 in Western liberal democracies? What gender specific thought ...

The only response to that is LOL. So what? Do descriptions have to be above all beneficial to the advancement of an intelligent species? There are agg...

I don't see gender as something foisted on you. It's just a description of cultural and social differences between the sexes. Those differences are ch...

This is where we disagree. I think a person is viewed from very a very early age because of their sex. Even in the most liberal and equitable places g...

Surely the heavy handed way that the raids are being performed is meat and drink to Trump's supporters. I have no issue with a Sovereign State removin...

I agree with you in everything other than "there's no issue with people claiming whatever gender ID they want whenever they want, along any lines they...

It seems to me the term gender has been hijacked. It's a perfect reasonable concept to describe societal differences between the sexes. These have cha...

I don’t think it is. It’s an extremely simple issue. Rabbit holes are sometimes fun but very rarely about the subject being discussed.

Absolutely but there is a power imbalance between the sexes. Physical and social and economic. It has improved dramatically in the last 60 years. Thin...

Like I said, utterly shallow.

I think we are probably on the same page. You’ve just gone down rabbit holes of madness arguing minutiae with some of the more esoteric posters. Adult...

The standard of this philosophical debate is shallow. Not one contributor has addressed what it means to be a woman in 2025. Biology is fundamental to...

So females have to accommodate women in female only spaces? Even if that makes them uncomfortable and fearful?

So you don’t think there any good reasons to restrict access to female facilities to females only. I

Instead of going round in a loop of disagreement I think it would be useful to get your understanding of why you think society and (most) women object...

It is and we don’t.

Have a women's bathroom and an open bathroom. Have women's sport and open sport. All inclusive. Sorted.

It's just another dispiriting pious measure nailed to the cross of trans inclusion. I doubt any woman would be happy with having to go to the loo afte...

You don't appear to be concerned about women's fears. Perhaps you’re just using that as a dog whistle to push an misogynistic agenda.

So women are uncomfortable with men in their bathrooms and have to put up with it?

I really don't think you do.

So women should stand aside as usual.

One study by a Gender studies lecturer is not the 10 Commandments. As I said even if true it doesn't change the narrative.

I'm saying (a) is false but even if it wasn't men should not be allowed in women's exclusive spaces. Even if (b) is true, men should not be allowed in...

Are you saying women are stupid to feel that they should exclude men from their exclusive places?

Sounds like you are.

No matter how you repeat the same thing over and over doesn't alter the fact that you wish to allow males into female spaces. playing down the concern...

That surprises me. Of course, I've never said otherwise. I can accept it. people can be whoever they wish. I agree with this too. people can identify ...

The person's biology has a huge influence on the development someone. Society treats the sexes different and certain aspects of society are governed b...

No it isn't. The gender is reflection of the societal differences between the sexes. The word was hijacked by the muddle headed. read the link

Allowing men into women's bathrooms. https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/51545-where-does-the-british-public-stand-on-transgender-rights-in-202425

Many woman won't have a problem with it. like most things in society it isn't binary. Many women won't have an issue walking through a park late at ni...

I don't believe you (and similar advocates) use the concept of gender correctly. Gender is the societal differences between the sexes. If everyone els...

Dismissing their concerns and shared experience.

You want males to enter their exclusive places. Is that not dismissing it? I think that is a meaningless concept and dismisses what it is to be female...

You are 100% dismissing women and their experience. You have dismissed the concerns of females in spaces where they are may feel awkward and vulnerabl...

Separate bathrooms is not just about sex organs and the place of females in society is not based just on sex organs. I find the whole dismissive attit...

He seems nice

What for you is perfection?

We are social animals and take millions of unconscious cues every day. No one learns the etiquette of buying rounds at a bar but everyone in UK knows ...

Expand on that, please. What is the frame of reference for true beauty etc? Is it your faith in God? If so, I'll stick with my original statement.

Often used to justify everything else.

That sane answer eludes quite a few.

It isn’t unfortunate. It is fact.

Why should women have to give up their hard fought for rights to men?

That is a consequence of a choice they made. I'm not sure what the authorities could do to accommodate them.
