I do none of these things. My only argument is that, since they are not biological females, they do not need rights that are based on women being females, and oppressed on basis of sex (CEDAW). It is really simple.

You do all these things. Those talking about the oppressed working class are also defending their rights. It is actually quite incredible that you are trying to lecture me on int'l human rights, discrimination or minorities

I am not lecturing you and frankly done, I am for equality, non discrimination and maintaining women rights as women rights and trans rights as trans rights. You think trans rights and women rights are the same thing. I disagree. Cheers

I haven't said this but it is always impossible to argue anything with those who have the 'truth', speak on behalf of the oppressed attacking a minority that represents a danger to their rights. Nothing new here. It is very popular though. I give you that.

Actually my position is the one that has caused people to lose their jobs and receive death threats. I have been DMed by legal academics calling me brave. It is chanting TWAW that is popular woke position now. I am not for reducing trans rights. They need *trans rights*.

Also, your position totally forgets trans men, who need trans rights too, but, in your opinion, not women rights, because, although biologically female, they are men. Since they are men, does it mean they do not get any specific rights, or are they only ones who get trans rights?

Have we moved to trans men now? There are many areas of law and policy that need thinking to accommodate trans rights. I don't have your simple solutions antagonising women's rights (some linked to gender roles & not biology) with trans women.

How on earth can we have rights linked to gender roles? Which roles? Act ladylike, wear makeup, be submissive and you get certain rights, but speak up, fail to comply with the social dress code and you lose them? How does this work?

Why do you need to ridicule others to make a point? Some women's rights are based on our biology. Others try to reverse structural inequalities that are the product of a system where we have been assigned a particular position in society with (at times) defined roles.

I am not trying to ridicule, I am trying to understand. You say there are some *womens* rights that should be extended to male people on the basis of performing gendered roles (and presumably denied to female people who don't). I am
and asking which roles you are thinking of?2 replies 0 retweets 1 like
NB: in the UK people are already protected against sex discrimination & harassment on the basis of perception. If someone is mistaken for a woman they are already covered. So Q is what other rights should be linked to "gender roles"?
