Surely that is an extremely outdated view of what it is to be a woman. How does gender identity women dress and act? Is a woman who likes masculine pu...

How does gender identity manifest itself? A man (biologically) feels his gender is female. What does that mean?
May 20, 2025 at 15:09
Amplification would have been an issue. Some of Bach’s piano works are pretty out there,
May 20, 2025 at 08:35
Thanks for the comprehensive reply. Any actions that prevent anti social, coercive and violent behaviour are to be welcomed and encouraged. However, w...

Actually that was interesting to research. I will no longer state all individuals are either male or female. Some are mosaic 46,XX/46 XY 500 affected ...

Men with ovotesticular DSD have azoospermia and usually display a Sertoli-cell only pattern on histological examination of the testes. Therefore, fert...

But they are either male or female. They aren’t both.
May 19, 2025 at 18:39
It’s an interesting subject.
May 19, 2025 at 18:29
It would be based on physical characteristics in the vast vast majority of the time. It is obvious who is male and female unless a lot of money is spe...

How (philosophically) does a male (if there is such a thing since it’s a spectrum) become a woman? It isn’t how they dress, what they do for a job, wh...

100%. If there were no cultural issues then there would be no issues in men and women sharing spaces. However, there are issues.
May 19, 2025 at 18:00
How does a trans woman’s womanhood manifest itself? This is something that I find puzzling. Can anyone explain?
May 19, 2025 at 17:59
There is no person ever that is a bit of both. Not one. Sex is binary.
May 19, 2025 at 17:56
I’m not bothered in the slightest where a trans man goes. Preferably the men’s room. Most of them will want to go to the men’s room. However, if a tra...
May 19, 2025 at 17:50
Men don’t routinely go in women’s spaces and will be challenged by women if they do. Hopefully, then arrested and prosecuted. Thankfully, most men res...

It won’t be policed. It will be fine like it has always been done.
May 19, 2025 at 17:23
Both. Yes, people should be concerned about the erosion of women’s spaces and no, a man can never be a woman and vice versa. I’m amazed any rational p...
May 19, 2025 at 17:19
I think there is a bit of Handmaid’s Tale vibe from the dismissive attitude to exclusive women’s spaces.
May 19, 2025 at 17:17
I’ve said before, if someone passes then no one is any the wiser. They aren’t women though. There is more to being a woman than looking like one. Not ...
May 19, 2025 at 17:08
You are incorrect. There is no range.
May 19, 2025 at 16:58
using or involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something Mainly someone.
May 19, 2025 at 16:03
Depicting violence or recording violence can be art. I was thinking more of deliberate violence being part of a piece of work. Would it be deemed art?...
May 19, 2025 at 15:40
But the violence would be part of the piece.
May 19, 2025 at 15:14
Is this a trick question? Your father was a male your mother was a female. Your mother gave birth to you. How am I being dismissive? All these people ...
May 19, 2025 at 15:06
Why not? Two men in a gallery intentionally have a violent fight. Performance could be art, the blood and sweat left could be art, a video installatio...
May 19, 2025 at 12:36
I’m more and more open minded as I get older, which isn’t usually the way! I’m confident enough to not care if I don’t “get” it or think someone is bu...
May 19, 2025 at 12:33
Never understood where the leap came for gender to describe societal differences between the sexes to people wanting society to validate their right t...
May 19, 2025 at 12:16
I 100% agree. I used it as something that I thought was of little merit but needed the slaughter of an animal to complete. I stopped replying because ...
May 19, 2025 at 12:07
It doesn’t. The 2% figure includes people with syndromes that only males or females have. A tiny percentage of people are ambiguous but that is becaus...
May 19, 2025 at 07:38
This is a genuine question to try and understand why it is important for all the various labels for the various phenomena to be not based on sex? I am...
May 19, 2025 at 07:31
Which is factually correct.
May 18, 2025 at 20:46
What do you want society to do about it? If you have answers i’m in full support. I’m with you all the way. But until you’ve fixed the world maybe jus...
May 18, 2025 at 20:45
I’m not sure what you are going on about. What problem are you trying to solve?
May 18, 2025 at 19:54
Yes. I think women need certain exclusive places for certain activities. As for the rest I doubt we will ever agree. I’m not even sure what you think ...
May 18, 2025 at 14:55
I don’t have an issue with unisex spaces with individual cubicles. What mixed sex spaces need removing? They aren’t according to United Kingdom law. H...
May 17, 2025 at 18:07
It isn’t a vagina. . the muscular tube leading from the external genitals to the cervix of the uterus in women and most female mammals.
May 17, 2025 at 16:50
I have a perfectly adequate understanding thanks very much. I think your opinion is feeble and based upon nothing. That cover it?
May 17, 2025 at 16:48
Most trans women don’t have their penises removed. I’m not sure having a penis removed would ensure a man looks like a woman. What is it with the insu...
May 17, 2025 at 09:48
Your concept of chair and recognising a chair comes from many aspects of how we interpret the world. The detail of all the aspects of how you end up l...
May 16, 2025 at 09:27
A man with his penis removed does not have a vagina. A woman with a beard and a deep voice is still a woman. There will be no gender inspection at the...
May 16, 2025 at 07:13
Do you wish to eradicate single sex spaces?
May 16, 2025 at 07:07
I agree with all of that and male violence should be addressed. Until then maybe keep males out of places where women are vulnerable. Once tgat has be...
May 15, 2025 at 05:26
The “exclusive places” are for females. A man without a penis does not pass that test. Just because a man has no penis doesn’t mean he automatically l...
May 15, 2025 at 05:22
Many people considered it art. I wasn’t a fan but I saw them in a very posh gallery in London.
May 14, 2025 at 19:00
I said the male advantage in those sports comes from the social aspects. If women want to fully participate it makes sense to have women only competit...
May 14, 2025 at 18:58
Is Damien Hurst’s cow in formaldehyde art? I assume the cow didn’t die of natural causes.
May 14, 2025 at 17:25
Why does it bring to mind that?
May 14, 2025 at 16:40
I think we have our wires crossed. There is no debate because men have significant physical advantages over women.
May 14, 2025 at 16:29
A clean left hook can be as admired as ballet by some. Ballet is art. Art engenders a reaction, so can a brutal knockdown. As someone said earlier, th...

Guess away. I’m a slightly left of centre liberal who expects people to step up in life. Do whatever they wish in private as long as it doesn’t affect...
