Being female is a necessary condition for being a woman. Nothing else qualifies.

However, despite such simple basic qualification, being female is not all a woman is. A woman is also a

Due to my autism and sensory issues, the male toilets smell even worse for me. I notice from the outside that the female toilets don't smell as bad. So I say I'm going to use the female toilets.

You will receive the same kindness and compassion on the men's ward. You're a man presenting one of hundreds of stereotypes of women. If you're mistreated by patients or staff, as a human being, or as a trans person, complain, like the rest of us.

Dear trans people,
I'd like to share some thoughts.

People exist who believe they are overweight but they are not.
People exist who believe they are Jesus but they are not.

Changing rooms are sex-based, not gender-based, spaces. Trans-believing males must come in with us, and men must not abuse them.
Women should not be loaded with additional safety risks by males who do not want to bear these risks themselves. They're having their cake and eating
It is beyond belief to me that a woman would be sued by a biological male who was denied access to a social networking app for women. An app not for gender identities but for sex realities.
It was not essential for Roxy Tickle to be on the app, but it likely provides
Sadly, this has been so true. It was watching the way women's reasonable concerns and demands were shouted over at speaking events, and how women were being cancelled in workplaces and education, which brought me here.

The argument that "Language changes, so 'woman' can mean a male who identifies as a woman" is one of the most disrespectful, unreflexive, aggressive, colonialist acts. To silence women who speak out about this is a further layer of abuse and power. The word 'woman' is taken.
'Sex assigned at birth' is bullshit. Is it observed at or before birth. No doctor can 'assign' it. Nature does. And 'AMAB' - Assigned Male At Birth is also ridiculous. Sex is lifelong and immutable.
When does this corruption of language end?

The trans movement is a very visual and linguistic movement, as well as sexist, and ageist. Many - not all - transwomen want to turn themselves on in the mirror and so they emulate what they objectify, creating a perfectly mobile, omni-available turn-on.
Let's be honest here.
I really don't give a rat's arse about trans-identifying men feeling comfortable in women's toilets while women are made to feel uncomfortable, and labelled 'bigots' and 'transphobes' in public discourse, and 'cisnormative' and 'prejudiced' in academia.

There was a time, not long ago when if a man walked into a women's toilet, police were called and he was arrested. Now, a woman challenging him is arrested and the intruder is protected by the police. State-sanctioned misogyny.
"If a man has his gender reassigned [sic.] and outwardly - and he feels, inwardly - he is a woman, in your view, can he be a woman or not?"

Why is 'transgender' only self-determined and no one else may call anyone this against their will, yet 'cisgender' is determined by self or others and may be imposed whether they like it or not? Ideology. Power.

I'm a researcher. I have decreasing confidence in who is being referred to when articles mention 'women', even 'female' participants. Is it women who have a lifetime of being female, or bald men in fishnet stockings, transvestites, men who don't like blue, beer or football, men
How come, for the news, this body-modified woman was accepted posing topless and baring her breasts? This healthy breast removal deprived her baby of nourishment, bonding, and immune transfer. While she larps as a dad, women are spat on in the street for breastfeeding.

Whether a woman looks like a woman or a man, she's entitled to female sex-based rights.

Women's sports have always been women's sports for a reason, and it never was 'bigotry'. 'Female' sports if you're struggling with what a woman is. 'Chromosomes and gametes' if you need further assistance. Misogynists persist. No man is a woman.

Stop this madness. Trans women are men. It's the whole point of the word 'trans' - presenting and performing a selection of the stereotypical expectations of gender, at a given cultural and historical juncture, 'across from'/'opposite to' their sex.
Performing mannerisms,
Just ONE woman displaced from her sports team, scholarship, sponsorship, or competition is ONE too many. ONE male in a female lockeroom or shower is ONE too many. ONE male setting a record out of women's reach. 'Tolerate a little bit of misogyny' is not a good look.
It is odd to me that people who care about empowering downtrodden social groups seem oblivious to the disempowerment arising from transgender ideology.

Do any gender-critical folks really 'hate trans people'? Many trans people will not like my views - perhaps even find them hateful - but the projection onto me about my intentions, motivations, and alleged emotional states is tiresome.
"If someone decides to misgender me one more fucking time, I'm going to introduce my heel to their teeth." She's learning the ropes, then. Good old toxic masculinity there.
She says, "I'm cute, I'm nice, and I like everybody, and I'm not too hard to get along with, right?"
Women are "trying to make it look like women's rights are not compatible." He presents women as manipulative, infactual, whining over nothing, hateful, and victimizing, and then expects respect.
