Yes that is correct. It definitely isn’t being done as I think it should.
May 13, 2025 at 18:57
I think society needs controlling without any need for recourse to morality. It shouldn’t be a “they” it should be a “we” We need a framework for soci...
May 13, 2025 at 16:56
The older I get the and the more permissive society has become a little bit of agreed social control would be good thing. I have thousands of unwritte...

Why are people so keen to dismantle women’s exclusive places? Why do we need to re engineer bathrooms and changing rooms for a less safe inferior solu...

What was your point? What argument is there about physical prowess? It’s a biological fact.
May 13, 2025 at 07:49
There is the social aspect of competing in leagues with darts snooker etc. access to facilities etc that mean it makes sense to have female only pursu...
May 11, 2025 at 06:46
Seems a reasonable request

Manners can always improve and I think the world (well where I reside) is very tolerant of people and their life choices.
May 09, 2025 at 17:49
I’m very tolerant and trans people can do whatever they wish if it is within the law. What they cannot do is infringe the rights of women. Why should ...
May 09, 2025 at 15:15
I agree and I doubt that trans men would use the woman's bathroom BUT if they insisted then they have every right to do so. They are female.
May 09, 2025 at 12:49
I don't see it in real life in UK but there is always nutters that use issues for their own agenda.
May 09, 2025 at 12:48
Bothered? I'm discussing a topic on a message board. The topic being males in female only spaces. But thanks for letting me have the last word. Not su...
May 09, 2025 at 12:22
I agree.
May 09, 2025 at 12:20
Because they are a woman. They have every right to use a female space.
May 09, 2025 at 12:19
I think in 99.99% of the time it is obvious. There has been no issue. No murky territory. Why would manly looking women now be an issue since it hasn'...
May 09, 2025 at 12:18
If a person looks like a woman then there would be no issue. Society isn't spending billions on gender recognition measures to eradicate men who look ...
May 09, 2025 at 12:01
In what way are they special? Over and above any other special case? Agreed 100% Do you think some women want trans women excluded from their exclusiv...
May 09, 2025 at 11:34
I replied saying that there isn't a sport where there is no discernable difference and if there was there was no point in having a female category. If...
May 09, 2025 at 09:57
Not in sport and not in society when it comes to social norms around women’s right to certain exclusive places. What about social, emotional and menta...
May 09, 2025 at 07:25
Exactly, just because our interpretation of the world is an approximation that is processed from the data we have and how our brain processes it to mi...
May 08, 2025 at 10:15
Always fascinating but I don’t think I’ll be visiting again any time soon.
May 07, 2025 at 20:07
You do put an awful lot of people behind bars.
May 07, 2025 at 19:59
I would prefer men and women to be kept separate. If the law states that isn’t necessary then so be it. Happily in Uk, they keep penises away from wom...
May 07, 2025 at 19:39
Im not concerned in the slightest.
May 07, 2025 at 17:05
Why not? They are at risk
May 07, 2025 at 16:42
What have I missed?
May 07, 2025 at 15:34
All child abusers are less likely to be killed in a women’s prison. Do you put them all there?
May 07, 2025 at 15:33
I don't think it can be. Why? Why can they not compete in the men's (or open) category? The cultural issues for women are not the same as for trans. I...
May 07, 2025 at 11:59
What is good? Many actions that are deemed good turn out to have long term harm. I see many people who think they are good parents and I would differ ...
May 07, 2025 at 09:28
There are cultural issues for women that bar them from competing on a level playing field. Access to facilities, not being accepted etc. To encourage ...
May 07, 2025 at 09:20
I’m a card carrying slightly left wing liberal. What consenting adults want to do is fine by me. I see no reason for homosexuals to barred from the sa...
May 06, 2025 at 21:13
99.9% of people will do exactly that. Very few trans people look like the gender they wish to be. If they do then who would stop them?
May 06, 2025 at 20:07
Bathrooms have been used quite simply for decades. Not sure why it would be an issue now.
May 06, 2025 at 17:25
I'm not baiting anyone. I'm interested in why people wish to eliminate women from sport and think female only facilities are unnecessary. I won't both...
May 06, 2025 at 12:47
Why would I interpret charitably what I think is a crazy stance? Millions of women world wide enjoy sport but you would happily dismantle the structur...
May 06, 2025 at 06:41
So you are happy for women’s sport to be destroyed and for women to risk assault when needing a to go to the toilet away from their home?
May 06, 2025 at 06:20
You think all restrooms should be open to anyone? What about sports?
May 05, 2025 at 15:11
Great response. Your knowledge is greater than mine and I’ve learned a couple of things from these exchanges. My stance has not changed but it’s alway...
May 02, 2025 at 08:13
I think I've made my stance fairly clear. There are reasons why women have separate sports and separate exclusive places. Men (in which I include tran...
May 01, 2025 at 17:50
There is a reason why the sexes have separate prisons. What about this don’t you understand?
May 01, 2025 at 17:20
I’m arguing that men should not be allowed access to women’s spaces. If that is transphobia or sexism then I’m happy to be sexist and transphobic.
May 01, 2025 at 17:16
That’s exactly what a man would say. Again why should women have to exposed to male violence for men to be protected from male violence?
May 01, 2025 at 17:13
Why should women be put at risk of male violence to protect men?
May 01, 2025 at 16:46
You are fixated on a tiny tiny minority of people that have had quirks in their development. These people are not a separate sex or both sexes. I’m no...
May 01, 2025 at 16:45
I still haven't said it.
May 01, 2025 at 13:45
It's quite an established field of science. I assume you already are aware or can look it up. I think I can determine the sex of 99.999% of adults fro...
May 01, 2025 at 13:44
It has worked quite well until about a decade ago. Not sure why it has become so complicated. What would you suggest?
May 01, 2025 at 13:23
Molecular biology in the cases that are not immediately apparent.
May 01, 2025 at 13:20
It is extremely simple. If someone is indistinguishable then no one will know or care. The law does not need to get involved. Just like they don't nee...
May 01, 2025 at 13:11
I recognise that intersex people have ambiguous genitalia, reproductive organs, chromosones etc. But they aren't neither or both sexes.
