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 …
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.

There are lots of brain studies. I do mention gender dysphoria.

Sorry, you did mention it but didn't properly distinguish it from wider gender ID politics. You do conflate gender with sex too. As for brain studies, there are no male brains or female brains. No pink brain and no blue brain, There are hormonal differences between sexes.

Just follow the links.

I have. I may have even posted a comment. That said I agree with much of it.

I mean the links in the text which take you to metastudies of neurology and gender.

Your trans piece is one of the most fair minded things I’ve read on the issue.
