      #ISupportTransEqualityBecause I imagine having the courage to be open about being born in the wrong body, the courage to transition to the right sex & then the hurt & pain when people then deny you’re the sex you’ve always truly been, despite all you’ve been through.

      Feelings don’t = fact. Just because someone has gender reassignment surgery doesn’t mean I or anyone else has to put aside facts and believe they are the opposite sex. That’s not transphobia, just an interpretation of the facts available

      Gender- the state of being male or female, particularly in reference to cultural and social differences. Prior to recent years, gender was the expression of a persons sex

      So it’s the expression of a person’s sex. Well guess what, trans people are expressing their true sex, culturally & socially, by their behaviour and the way they present to the world.

      Definitions are important. Your true sex is determined by your reproductive function/chromosomes. This is not a value statement on whether it’s right or wrong to be trans, just an objective fact. Google the definitions if needed.

      This is a circular argument. Trans women are not women because I define a woman in a way that excludes trans women. What about women who cannot have children, who have no "reproductive function"? Are they not women either?

          men who’ve lost their penis in accidents etc aren’t men because they don’t have male sex organs by that logic then. everyone starts with the same chromosomes, we all start XX then biological males go XY

          This is not true. Males are XY at conception; females are XX at conception. @brianpaddick please don't amplify nonsense such as we all start XX - it's simply not true, but by retweeting you give this lie credence because of your position.

          Had had to double check. A senior Lib dem believes such fake facts. This is so worrying. Trans dogma should not be echoed by senior politicians

          Fake facts like telling a police officer of over 30 years experience that there is no such thing as a violent female. Those sort of fake facts.

          .@brianpaddick l assumed you retweeting the lie that males start as XX was an error, please confirm it was? I've always thought you a person of integrity - you don't want to spread this pseudo-science, surely? You do know males have XY chromosomes at conception, surely?

          Oh Brian, there's a huge difference between "not able to bear a child due to medical condition" and "not being able to bear a child due to being male". Only TRAs offer a circular definition. Everyone else is v.happy with the three-word definition found in the Oxford dictionary.

          Women who are infertile or have had a hysterectomy/mastectomy are still women and it would be cruel to state otherwise. In the same way that men who are infertile or have had their genitals removed are still men. Cosmetic changes don’t change material reality.

          Well then, can you define 'woman' without using the word 'woman'? That is a circular argument. And impossible without resorting to sex role stereotypes a.k.a sexism.

          The definition of sex is not dependent on fertility or else post menopausal women would cease to be woman. It is dependent on sex chromosomes and include the tiny proportion of intersex individuals
