Lol. No. Also 'women' and 'people who don't accept that trans women are women' are not the same group. Also, if you want the right to refer to trans women as 'men', you might have to accept other people's right to refer to you as 'cis' or even 'TERF.'https://twitter.com/GreedyRosie/status/956636194917449735 …

Yep, I’m a critic of many aspects of queer/trans ideology but I still wouldn’t say women are more oppressed than trans people.

What people like me are objecting to is things like this. “I’m widening the bandwidth of what it means to be a woman”.https://www.buzzfeed.com/patrickstrudwick/this-transgender-woman-has-a-full-beard-and-she-couldnt-be-h …

I don't object to this. I don't think people have to go completely binary.

I don’t object to him and the way he outwardly expresses himself at all. What I don’t like is his definition of ‘woman’. What concerns a lot of women is that this type of self ID allows effectively anyone to be in women’s sports/prisons/refuges/etc.

That's a different issue, I think. This is what we argued in our trans piece, anyway. Practical issues like those need considering practically and separately from the ethics of how people may identify.

It's all interconnected. Once you go down the route of accepting "self-identity" (instead of science), then you open up questions about safe spaces.

Yeah I read that piece and agreed with some of it. But still issues with it for eg. suggestions of "brain sex" theory (which was based on a very small sample) and no mention of gender dysphoria.

Why must people complicate chromosomes so much?
-
They don't. They just disagree on whether or not they are definitive in gender identity.
-
Well, that's just stupidity.

It's certainly better to go with the science which shows a correlation between gender and several biological features including sex organs, chromosomes, brains and hormones

This is only controversial among the mentally ill.
-
No. It's not the mentally ill doing the science of gender. Robert Sapalsky is great on the neuroscience.

This is why the whole oppression hierarchy paradigm is flawed. Its unquatifiable. We can have a basic idea of who has it tougher, but maybe we shouldn't stress the differences and emphasize the destination everyone wants to get to.

Nobody is really arguing that people can be allowed to think what they like about themselves. That's not the issue. Their argument is that YOU must think what THEY want you to think about them. You think you're a teapot, fine, don't expect me to share your delusion.
