Sorry? I haven't claimed that it is & I'm not sure which constitution you're talking about. Laws vary. I'm talking abt values not laws.

I think same sex couples should be able to marry. If I say this, I'm not claiming they can marry under the laws of every country.

I think they should as well. Harms no one and expands the catalogue of rights. All good.

But you see how you can say something should be a right without claiming it is a right everywhere?

Of course. And when you have competing rights, they need to be weighed. Sex is a human right, rape is not (women have a right not to be).

Ugh, you'd be surprised. But yeah, that's the point: sometimes fighting for some rights involves limiting others. Happens a lot, actually.

Well, I'm not prepared to tell trans women they're not women coz of some problems that can be addressed individually.

These cases tend to be dependent on class definitions, so it'd be tricky to not erode women's rights while allowing TW to ID as women.

I'm sure we'd manage. There are always things to be ironed out when a group gets a right it didn't have before.

Not prepared to say 'Let's just give up & not let you have your gender identity coz otherwise we'll have to rethink a handful of rules.'
