In addition to having to compete for jobs against men in an, unfortunately, male-dominated world, women now also have to content with this. I worry for my daughters, I really do.
This is who was chosen by the Labour Party from their "Woman Only" shortlist to stand in the Rushcliffe Parliamentary Constituency. "Woman Only"...pic.twitter.com/vTu23n4wH8

Definitely. Any bloke who’s half decent at football can just go all gender fluid and play in a World Cup for the ladies. Or any blokes game really. Rugby, cricket etc.

Hard not to be disappointed by this thread. Trans people are protected in law from victimisation like you lot have just spewed forth. I'm guessing no one here has considered how hard life must be for women born in men's bodies. Good on her.

I agree there’s too much nastiness and mocking on this thread. However, a “woman born in a man’s body” is impossible according to biology and the laws of physics. They have gender dysmorphia, a psych issue. And many TW do not agree with TW on F shortlists.

Spaces should be taken away from men, reserved for trans people, not from women who already face prejudice and misogyny and are still fighting for fair representation; hence the existence of wimens shirt lists in the first place.

Women’s shortlist’s!

“If you say a woman is only about psychology not biology then you minimise Women’s biological experience and their long struggle for reproductive rights. If you are blind to sex, it is inevitable you will be blind to sexism”

It goes far beyond reproductive rights, it's the consequences of reproductive labour on women jobs, pensions and financial independence, the maternity death and post partum care; the widespread sexual harassment of female bodies;it goes on and on

It's not a woman, it's a man dressed as a woman - badly.
