      LOL. Women, the largest group in society, are apparently being colonised by a tiny percentage of people who also identify as women but who were born with penises. https://twitter.com/ShoelessJoe1910/status/956641273632477193 …

      Women outnumbering men has meant women have not faced oppression ever. In all of history. Fact. #sarcasm #SoMuchSarcasm

      The historic oppression of women is irrelevant? Seems an odd place to start from but I shall respond with, I disagree.

      Not to this conversation, no. It's relevant to me more widely because this is what I do. https://qmul.academia.edu/HelenPluckrose

      Women outnumbering men Historically had no benefit for women in overcoming patriarchy. So why would women outnumbering TIMs mean that the rights of women would be safe?

          We have never had a vote on this particular issue. Changes are being made without legislation or real discussion so the fact we can vote is meaningless. We have cultural influence only when deemed appropriate. That isn't freedom or power.

          The zeitgeist has changed, yes. Women are part of that.

          Things change all of the time. Not always for the better. Particularly for women.

          Things have changed very much for the better for women. You might have to accept that we don't all agree with you about trans identity.

          Better for some women and none of it is set in stone forever. We will never have universal agreement on many topics but when ideas can have such sweeping repercussions I expect people to defend them robustly with reasoned arguments.

          Yes, I was talking about the West where women have all the rights men do and a couple more in many places.

          Legal rights do not always translate into equality as laws don't magically change people. What rights do women have that men don't and in which places?

          No, men and women still face gender-related expectations but we have the right to ignore them and I do tend to do this. The right to genital integrity and the right not to be drafted to war are right women have and men don't in many places.
