        What I don't understand is that this seems just to be an issue of vocabulary. The physical reality is written in your genes. The trans community just seems uncomfortable with the term "effeminate man" etc which would fit in with the original definitions & remove all arguments.

        If somebody then said "I'm being bullied at work because I'm an effeminate man" then I don't think there would be many people who weren't on their side. As for spaces which are usually segregated e.g. toilets I doubt there are many who'd be against making a third category.

        The only pushback trans people are seeing is because of their insistence that the majority of people have to change how they define themselves & what they identify with. Just make up a new word so nobody feels threatened and we'd all get along.

        That's not good enough for men who get a kick out of performing the feminine gender role. Women who reject the sexist dogma that we're inherently feminine frustrate their demand to have their fantasy validated. They get a thrill from forcing women to pretend they're one of us.

        "Out you popped and everyone’s shouting: “It’s a boy, it’s a boy!” And somebody said: “But it hasn’t got a winkle!” And I said: “God be praised, it’s a miracle. A boy without a winkle!” And then Sir Thomas More pointed out that a boy without a winkle is a girl."

        What about women who do identify as women? Are they offended that the billboard is removed?

        Yes although it has brought the madness to the attention of a much wider audience then if it had been allowed to stand so it is a spectacular own goal for the repressive trans activists

        And there's me thinking that was the actual definition of a woman. How stupid I have been all my life. I need to get some advice from a vegan with pink hair I think.

        Leave the vegans out of it! As a vegan I can assure I agree with that definition of a woman and think it is absolute insanity and an attack on women that it’s now deemed offensive to talk about the biological reality of being a woman. To be fair I don’t have pink hair though 😜

        I think everybody is getting braver and more able to say that the emperor has no clothes on. Women are a biological reality it is not transphobic to speak the truth. With or without their penis a male bodied person will never be a woman.
