      Well, I'd support refuges' policy not to discriminate between two vulnerable people fleeing domestic abuse on the grounds of their genitalia

      Why would you be more important that someone else because they have a penis? Are women always more vulnerable? I don't think so.

      If you are the one who won't share a space with another person in danger because of their genitals, why should they be the one to go?

          Well, clearly it isn't, in the sense you want it to be just for people with vaginas.

          In order to be woman you need a vagina and female chromosomes, etc. There's a terrible flow-on effect of turning off your brain.

          I haven't said anything about the definition of woman. Are you capable of civil conversation or shall we leave it here?

          You're preparing to run at the mention of a definition.

          No, I'm prepared to leave at being told my brain is being turned off. Conversation isn't about the definition of women so comment irrelevant

          Run away dear. We know you don't know what a woman is. Run away to the men.

          If I call trans women 'women' & you call them men, this is irrelevant to whether refuges should offer them spaces when they're in danger.

          I'd also like to cater for the needs of traumatised men & boys, tbh.

          OK, yes. If those places exist, fine. If they don't and a refuge offers spaces to more than one group, why decide urs shld be the only one?

          Why should men decide that women don't get a female space any more?

          Hang on. I thought the refuges were all run & funded by women? If they're run & funded by men & they make the rules...

          They won't if the refuges are run by women who feel that way, will they? Clearly they don't if they include trans women & u'll have to deal

          They have no choice because transactivists have taken legal action, got laws changed, have forced the issue. Men have done this.
