It just came naturally. Just like being naked in front of your child stopped after a time. I think my child chose the time. It seemed organic

In my local pool they have recently installed more cubicles for changing. The showers are still open. I took my daughter in with me until she was old ...

Because women cannot compete with men in sports and because many women feel threatened and uncomfortable when men are are around when they are undress...

Which we disagree on.
May 29, 2025 at 11:33
I agree. I disagree.
May 29, 2025 at 11:28
I'm not trying to catch anyone out. I'm interested in the topic and why people think the way they do and why society is in such a muddle about it. It'...
May 29, 2025 at 11:17
Leading nowhere with you. I agree.
May 29, 2025 at 10:57
Gender was a word to describe the social and cultural characteristics of the two sexes. So a man (Adult Human male) is acting in the manner associated...
May 29, 2025 at 10:57
So bite me!:smile: Proper debate on here.

Hence, slavery was perfectly acceptable until William Wilberforce wasn’t happy. (I know it wasn’t just him)
May 29, 2025 at 08:56
So has anyone disambiguated the concept of gender? My concept was never ambiguous. Sex of a person is immutable. Gender was a word to describe the soc...

I think it's just old fashioned misogyny.
May 28, 2025 at 13:54
It's fairly obvious in most cases.
May 28, 2025 at 13:23
So you think a penis or lack of penis is important criteria in changing rooms? Is that correct? I would prefer women to decide and if they were all ha...
May 28, 2025 at 13:05
So you would exclude most trans women from changing rooms where there is nudity? It's a start, I suppose.
May 28, 2025 at 12:22
Changing rooms?
May 28, 2025 at 12:17
So you would immediately take the male and female signs down and anyone can use them?
May 28, 2025 at 12:15
But why would you exclude them? What reasons would you give?
May 28, 2025 at 12:10
We do and you excluded cisgender men. On what basis?
May 28, 2025 at 12:03
Is your quote see above.
May 28, 2025 at 11:32
I don't think there ever was.
May 28, 2025 at 11:10
You tell me. You are excluding them.
May 28, 2025 at 11:08
The same reason that you yourself happily exclude cisgender males. All those reasons.
May 28, 2025 at 10:50
Wiki again. What does it practically mean? People can wear what they like, have sex with who they like, have any job they like, enjoy any pastime they...
May 28, 2025 at 10:44
I didn't. I couldn't care less about anyone's identity apart from when it bumps up against women's rights to fair sport and exclusive places. The only...
May 28, 2025 at 10:40
So, if I go with this definition of men and women. How does a biological male live like a woman in 2025? What characteristics mark a male living as a ...
May 28, 2025 at 10:37
." She isn't considered a man in UK law. The person is a female trangender man" not a man. They weren't assigned at birth, they are female. No one ass...
May 28, 2025 at 10:21
Words can mean more than one thing but what man is female? A simple list would be sufficient.
May 28, 2025 at 10:13
I have no issue with anyone one claiming to be whatever gender they like. It is meaningless in the modern world until it comes up against biological r...
May 28, 2025 at 10:11
You still don't get it. What is your point? Just because mankind or human refers to all humans does not mean a woman is "a man". I'm fine I understand...
May 28, 2025 at 10:03
It does. How many times do I have to repeat this. Mankind is not a man. Transgender man is not a man. Human is not a man. A man is a biological male. ...
May 28, 2025 at 09:36
But a man is a biological male. So not all lions are large tawny-coloured cats that live in prides, found in Africa and north-western India. A stuffed...
May 27, 2025 at 21:03
Transgender man is a transgender man. Not a man. A human is a human. He or she can be a man or woman. The two words came from different sources. I’m n...
May 27, 2025 at 20:08
I’m saying that 1) English noun “man” does mean biologically male in the dictionary I use. 2) women should be allowed to use women’s bathrooms. I agre...
May 27, 2025 at 18:50
That is exactly my argument and you have not convinced me why it should be different.
May 27, 2025 at 18:20
That is exactly what I’m doing.
May 27, 2025 at 18:18
That is exactly what is being discussed because that is the only thing that matters. As long as men don’t access women’s spaces you can call them what...
May 27, 2025 at 17:20
You believe whatever you like. I’m happy to exclude trans women from women’s spaces. Luckily the UK law and most sports bodies are catching up with me...
May 27, 2025 at 16:39
You can repeat this mantra as much as you like.
May 27, 2025 at 16:33
So we disagree on virtually nothing. One small point. I think no man is a woman. Maybe trans women could do the decent thing and not invade women’s sp...
May 27, 2025 at 16:12
But most should?
May 27, 2025 at 15:25
Exactly and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
May 27, 2025 at 14:37
So for sport they aren’t women but they are women for other purposes? So women already have exclusive places. Bathrooms, changing rooms and shelters f...
May 27, 2025 at 14:36
What is the mechanism for someone to gave the opposite psychology to their sex? I’m intrigued. Because men should be excluded from women’s sport becau...
May 27, 2025 at 14:19
The point I'm making is that in 2025 people can be whatever they like. No sexist tropes are needed to define a person. So in sports and women's exclus...
May 27, 2025 at 13:10
I don't think society and culture treats people like I treat my mates. There would be a lot of upset people.
May 27, 2025 at 12:39
We can go around and around in circles. We all have a few wishes we would like to be granted but why do people need to grant these wishes? Also, I tre...
May 27, 2025 at 12:17
I am aware that there are differences on average between the sexes but it is not clear cut at all. Men on average are more aggressive but not signific...
May 27, 2025 at 11:58
But what does that mean?
May 27, 2025 at 10:26
What are they saying?
